Hi,
Love the theme!
There is a very large gap (on mobile screens larger) between carousel items and the dotted navigation symbols below, is there any code we can use to reduce this or something we can do to possible hide them?
Cheers
Hey Micatuca!
Could you please share the URL in regards so I can take a look to assist?
Thanks in advance
Hi Themenectar,
How can I fix this issue https://www.ainammania.com/portfolio/iftf/ on my portfolio page, the case study info texts are fine & aligned correctly on the backend & look exactly as they should but once published everything is scattered & there are unnecessary spaces, the past couple of updates have not fixed this
Hey timzyhasanego,
When inspecting your page code, it looks as though there is some padding/margin set on various text blocks, for example https://ibb.co/sKFvBWk
Are you intending on setting that? If not, please edit the text blocks and change into the “design options” tab to remove those values: https://ibb.co/BnQRvCg
Cheers
that did the trick, thank you – could i also get understanding why there’s a misalignment on this page too https://www.ainammania.com/process/ – the unordered list bullet point is not on the same line as the text?
Hey timzyhasanego, Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related to correct that:
body .nectar-fancy-ul[data-list-icon="dot"] ul li:before {
top: 0px;
}
Hey there – we have a plugin on this page (https://thesandwichspotcafe.com/product/build-your-own-sandwich/) that lets you configure your sandwich, and a customer noted that it is not ADA compliant because tabbing skips over the options (in fact it skips that entire section). I reached out to the plugin developer and they noted that everything they provide is tab indexed and that the Salient theme was actually blocking proper tabbing. He referenced this CSS sheet as proof: https://thesandwichspotcafe.com/wp-content/cache/min/1/wp-content/themes/salient/css/style-0710f22fcb15c1289925316562d78582.css
Is this a known issue with Salient? Any fix available?
Hey co50, have you verified this by temporarily changing to the default WP theme? It appears on the demo for that plugin that the options also do not respond to using tab:
https://epo.themecomplete.com/product/ship-your-idea-2/We see the same issue with the default WP themes, but the plugin author insists that the theme is hiding the “outline” and that his plugin options all have a tab index. I’m just a user so I don’t know who’s right so I wrote both of you. Frustrating because we just want it to be ADA compatible but don’t know who to go to….
Hey co50, If the same is issue is occurring when Salient is not in use, I would bring that information to the plugin developer. If the issue is specific to the theme, we will gladly take a closer look into it though.
I brought it up to you because the plugin dev claimed one of Salient’s CSS files blocks the focus. But further testing shows it isn’t Salient because it occurs with TwentyTwenty. We’ve found a solution with the plugin that allow it to be ADA compatible. Thanks for reaching out.
Hey co50, Thanks for updating me on the issue – glad to hear you’ve found a working solution 
Hey Which field in the Typography option I have to change to have the same menu font mobile like in the desktop version? www.blindedhearts.com
Btw. when I change something in the Salient option panel (fonts) sometimes it takes days to change. Have you heard that every before?
Best, Andi
Hey Andi
1. You can use the “Off Canvas Navigation” field in the Salient options panel > typography > navigation & page header tab
2. That sounds like it could be relating to server/plugin caching of the css files. Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’ve been trying to fix this issue for weeks but with no success so hoping you might be able to help me..
On my site I have a custom post category set by a plugin. The category is gd_placecategory
I would like to display a different logo for that category and posts within.
So on this page for example – http://www.jlifemagazine.co.uk/places/category/manchester-businesses/
I would like to display the same logo as is on this page – http://www.jlifemagazine.co.uk/downloads-manchester/ (I used some JQuery for that but it won’t work for the custom post type)
I did have a solution that worked on older versions of Salient but since an update the file structure has changed and it no longer works.
Hope you can help,
Thanks,
Rory
Hey Rory,
The logo output is now contained to a single function named “nectar_logo_output”. You can copy it from the salient/nectar/helpers/header.php into your child theme functions.php where conditional logic could be applied.
Cheers
Hi there, On this website: https://opt-insight.com/ my video background is not working on Safari. How to fix this? Thanks!
Hey Abbenhues, in the page header settings metabox, please ensure that you’re .mp4 file is set in the “Video MP4 Upload” field. Currently, it appears to be added through the “Video WebM Upload” field, which is not supported in Safari.
Cheers
Hi, i had to put an logo in the right column of the footer, but it must be at the bottom of this column. The problem is that the right column isn`t high enough. Maybe the solution with display table? Can somebody give me some support with it? thank you so much!
Hey haoe, could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can provide a snippet based on your setup?
Cheers
Thanks haoe, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#footer-outer .row {
display: flex;
}
#footer-outer .row > div:last-child {
align-self: flex-end;
}
}
Thank you so much this works very good, can you delte the post with the link? thank you!!!!!!
Glad I could help haoe :)
Hi again, after i checked it, that works for me. In detail i now see that it only will work for the non-mobile Version. In mobile under 1000px it breaks back to left logo and right burger menu. changed the breakpoint to 1200 will work between 1000 and 1200 px have a look here: https://bit.ly/2XtjwcR thank you so much for your help!
Hey haoe,
You can add in the following for the mobile view:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer #top .span_3 {
text-align: right!important;
}
#top .col.span_9 {
right: 160px!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hi thank you, i postet the reply on a wrong entry. sry! the problem is that i wanna have the logo on right and the nav on left. with the code from you and the code from an older post of you i get the result but not for mbile. in mobile the burger menu is directly left from the logo but i need it in the left corner:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
top .container .row {
flex-direction: row-reverse; }
header-outer[data-format=”default”] #top .span_9 {
margin-left: 0; margin-right: auto; }
}
can you please have a look again! thank you so much!
Hey haoe,
Modify the last snippet I provided you to be as follows:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer #top .span_3 {
text-align: right!important;
}
#top .col.span_9 {
right: auto!important;
left: 0;
}
}
On old site i make update and upgrade on last version of wordpress and install last version of Salient theme, when activate theme i cant find Salient Theme options in admin console. How can i find where can be problem?
Hey nikolagrupa, the Salient theme options are still located in the main WP admin sidebar. If that’s not visible on your end, Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hi,
How to add video like this without showing video control and autoplay? – https://i.imgur.com/qmzv54d.png
Thanks
Hey kaixer,
That’s a regular HTML video added into a raw HTML element like so:
<video autoplay muted style="width: 100%; border-radius: 10px;" loop> <source src="http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/visualbuilder.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video>
Cheers
Awesome! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome kaixer
Hello! I just updated my Salient theme to 11.0.4. I’m now trying to update all of my theme-related plugins (Salient Core, Salient WPBakery Page Builder, Salient Nectar Slider, etc.) and am receiving an error that reads “Cannot load tgmpa-install-plugins” after attempting to update. Any ideas on why this may be happening and how I can remedy it? I’ve never had an issue updating before.
Thanks so much and I appreciate any insight!
Hey kbeckert, I’m sorry to hear you ran into an issue!
Have you verified that this is not being caused by any third-party plugins you may have active by temporary deactivating them? Could you also kindly let me know which version of Salient you were updating from?
Thanks in advance
Ah, yep… One of BuddyForms’ add-ons (Ultimate Member) must have been interfering with the theme plugins. I deactivated it and the updates went through just fine. Thanks again!
Hey kbeckert, I’m glad to hear you found the culprit
Hello
Is it possible to do something like this:
Cheers
Hey Babimcc,
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in functionality to link to a specific filter within a portfolio. You can choose the starting the filter to be different than the default (all) in the portfolio page builder element settings though.

Hi, is it possible to make the Band theme as a multi-page site rather than a one-page?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-band/Thanks
Hey dr_waynet,
Yes – you can import that demo and then simply create additional pages/change the menu to have the links navigate elsewhere on the site.
Cheers
Great, thanks for the quick response
You’re welcome dr_waynet
When using the team member element. Under ‘Team Member Style’ – we are using the ‘Bio Shown of Full screen’ mode which works great. However we would also like to have the Meta Overlay feature too so that the team name and job title shows without having to hover-over. Is this possible please?
Hey jackcweston,
You could alter that with CSS – add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .team-member[data-style="bio_fullscreen"] .team-meta h3,
body .team-member[data-style="bio_fullscreen"] .team-meta p {
opacity: 1;
transform: none;
}
Hi, I had my website with salient 6.7 and had a possibility to change the font size of the counter value (like start 0 and end 99%) but in the new version 7.0.3 I cannot set the font size of this counter value. So how should I do this now? I cannot find the correct code in the css….
Sorry, asking at the wrong place ..
Hey donna2, did you end up opening a ticket in regards on the support forum?
Hi, I asked on the right place, thank you!

Hey Nectar! Quick question,
Please take a look at this GT Metrix report – Two of the biggest lags are the damn fonts, for font awesome and iconsmind.
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.lnbbroductions.com/4G8QW3PMHow can I fix this? Or what are my options?
Hey lnbbroductions!
Font awesome is used in Salient in various places such as the social icons, arrows etc. If you dequeued it, you would need to remove or adjust the missing icons with a custom font/css. The iconsmind library will only load on a page when icons from that library are being used. If you wish to bypass it, simply swap the icons you’re currently using from it .e.g the “Free Proposal” button, the 4 fancy boxes in the “Here are the top four tools..” section etc. for a different library (such as fontawesome).
Cheers
Hi, I have a problem translating to spanish language. I cant translate quotes like “Leave a reply” I found inside the theme Salient -> lang -> and there I create the file es.po and es.po translated but the site remains the same. The language in Wordpress is Spanish. Can you help me, thanks
Hey santiagoavellaneda, “Leave a reply” exists in the salient text domain, which can be seen in the salient/comments.php file – if you’re having an issue with that, Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Is it possbile to put the search function ( a text or the icon) in the secondary header? Thanks for your help
Hey haoe,
There is currently no option to place the search function in that location. It would require modifying the salient/includes/partials/header/secondary-navigation.php file via a child theme
thank you for the information!
You’re welcome haoe
Hi there, I really love Salient, have used it before and am thinking of buying it again for a new project, but i just have a question about how customisable the portfolio grid is. I know that the grid can go up to five columns, but in practice i find that i only see the fifth column on very large screens like my desktop computer. What i am looking for for my next project is something where i can fit more different portfolio items into the screen real estate. In practice, if i were to use salient, i think that would mean in effect ‘forcing’ the fifth column on smaller screens like the laptop, rather than reducing down to four columns as it does by default. Is that something that would be easy to achieve with the theme? I really love the ‘mixed-content’ masonry portfolio. I think it’s great being able to have some tiles in the grid that are not linked into portfolio items. I want to be able to use one of those as a container for a ‘category description’ – a summary text paragraph that describes the category associated with a selected filter name. But to do that I would need to be able to omit such items from appearing when ‘all’ is selected (ie no category filter selected by the user) Is that possible? Otherwise all those category descriptions would appear at once which would be messy and meaningless. I do work with a coder sometimes, so i’m open to have customisations done, but i don’t want to choose Salient for this project and then find that I am needing heavy re-coding that might break on future updates to the theme or something like that. Thanks for your advice. Hope it will be possible to use Salient for this project, but if not I’m sure i’ll be buying it again for something else before long!
Hey Crispy0212!
1. It would only require a simple snippet to force the column number to remain as 5 on your needed viewport. If you end up going with Salient, just let me know so I can help out.
2. It would be possible to hide the category description projects from showing when in the “All” filter, but would require custom CSS and the use a custom class name to be added to each category description project in order to isolate that with the CSS.
Cheers
Hey thats great! t- thanks for your help – will purchase now and be in touch via support re point 1.
Sounds good Crispy0212, let me know when you need help
Hi guys, I’m thinking of doing another project in Salient, for which your layout style with the centre logo bisecting the navigation menu woud be perfect http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.216097686.148773142.1598435653-735039111.1571672431
But I want to do it slightly differently with a colour bar behind the navigation items and the logo enlarged beyond the bounds of the header bar, and overlaid (see the mockup at this link) will you be able to suggest a code snippet to achieve this sort of look, or will it be a more complicated change? Thanks!
https://tanarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/cz-header-desktop.jpgHey Crispy0212!
You could achieve that effect by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #header-outer:before {
background-color: #000;
position: absolute;
content: '';
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
The permanent transparent effect or the option to remove the desktop stickiness would need to be active, (so that the header nav remains at the top).
Thats great – thanks! I will purchase again shortly.
Glad I could help, Crispy0212
Is it possible to have a row with two columns where one column is sticky, So it follows the scroll until you get passed the content of the second longer column?
Hey MarcGarner, the only sticky column functionality in Salient currently is available through the “Widgetised Sidebar” element. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea to bring that to columns within the builder.
Cheers
Hi there, we really like the theme. Will it be possible to combine/use the sections from the different demo pages in order to make a new site?
Hey Location360, yes – the Salient Studio template library makes it easy to combine “sections” from various demos: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Cheers
