Hi, I am concerned that I may not be able to add custom css to elements, can you tell me if this is possible? I just had a very bad experience with Creativo, as I thought the page builder was like Betheme, but it was not. Also, I realize that this theme has a page builder – would that conflict with Elementor? I would love to have additional flexibility when it comes to content types and layouts… No matter what template I choose, I always feel hemmed in there. I am used to using Betheme, which I think is between this theme and Elementor as far as flexibility goes? I wish this theme was like Flotsame…then we would have a home run because I really love the design on these templates. Also, I like a theme here that is in white, can I make it dark instead?
Hey aprilklein,
Salient uses a tailored version WPBakery page builder at the core. If you’ve used another theme with that builder, it will feel very familiar. CSS class names can be added through the page builder for further modifications. It you opt to use Elementor instead of the provided page builder, you will not be able to make use of the Salient suite of elements.
Hey guys, when i have a team member box with “Meta below” and set the row option to “Centered Content”, everything looks cool but not the arrow that appears. The arrow is still on the left side. What can i do? Best Andi
Hey Andi,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.centered-text.wpb_column .team-member[data-style="bio_fullscreen_alt"] .nectar-cta {
text-align: center;
}
Cheers
i got 2 questions pending in support…. How do i change the background colour of the header/menu.. and how to i make the length of the sub menus longer?
Hey trinicloud,
1. In the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab, you can select “custom” for your “Header Color Scheme” at the bottom and then define colors via the color pickers below.
2. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .sf-menu >li ul a,
#top nav >ul >.megamenu ul li a {
padding: 12px 6px;
}
I would like to upload images to the image gallery on the website, uploading new photos first in the gallery. They are now saved to the end. Drag & drop is not a good solution here. There is a possibility?
Hey dusanvondra,
The image gallery is a core feature of WPBakery rather than a Salient specific element. Unfortunately, there is no option to automatically reverse the upload order without custom development – you would need to drag the images to the desired order in the gallery element.
hi! How to add contact information ( phone number and email) in the site header
Hey night_twister,
You can accomplish that with custom links, added through Appearance > Menus.
You can either set the URL to ”#”, or add in the actual phone number link like so:
tel:1-562-867-5309
Hi, is it possible to upgrade theme from 8.5.6 to the latest 11.0.4 without any problem also running woocommerce, please advise
Hey umarmughal,
Yes, just be aware that if you’re using a child theme with file overrides, they will need to be updated to match the current structure. here’s a resource on upgrading to review beforehand: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/

Hello. Where can I find the Child theme?
Hey BraveInteractiveCo, The child theme in included inside of the main download .zip from ThemeForest, it’s titled “salient-child.zip”

Hi, I’ve selected the “Use Transparent Header When Applicable” setting in the header options. I would like to force the transparent header on individual pages but the option to ‘force transparent menu’ doesn’t seem to display within the ‘page header settings’ on any of the pages. I can’t find this option. I dont want to use the Page Header or Nectar Slider at the top of the page – just a standard VC/Bakery row with a background. Thanks in advance
Please disregard. Fixed 
Hey startdig
I’m glad to hear you located it. For anyone else who may come across this, the option referred to is kept in its own metabox called “navigation transparency”: https://ibb.co/Vx95yQf

I’ve been using this theme with ClassicPress and everything seems to work. Is there going to be long term support for ClassicPress? I know VisualComposer works out of the box with it, just wondering if the Salient people were going to support it too moving forward.
Hey RCPMarketing, as long as WPBakery continues to provide support we will as well
Hi Themenectar,
Is there a header layout option where we can display the logo centred with the menu items to the far left and right (two seperate menus)
Thanks
Hey Micatuca,
Unfortunately as of now that would require some custom development
How do I remove the navigation from specific pages?
Hi, after 10 posts on blog “infinite scroll”, the featured images no longer appear for blog posts 11 and onwards. Please advise on the fix?
Hey veccccio, you can correct that for now by disabling the “Lazy Load Blog Images” option in the Salient options panel > blog > functionality tab. If you’d like the early fix to keep that option enabled in combination with the infinite scrolling, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Great thanks, that was the issue. Have emailed you for the permanent fix
Thanks veccccio
By the way great theme but it could use a custom header builder and better way of doing footers. Using WPBakery rather than widgets.
Hey omakad, I’ve noted your +1 for the ideas
Are any header builder plugins compatible with Salient without coding anything?
Hey omakad, we do not have a specific plugin to recommend in regards to that.
Hi, I’ve updated Salient but something is changed on mobile header navigation. Now, on mobile, header navigation is transparent, such as desktop version. Before I had a color background on mobile header, and the content of the page below it. Now I get transparent background and the content of the page behind, without having changed anything. How can I go back to the old mode? I cannot find an option to do that. Thanks a lot.
Hey primarelease,
This change came about a year ago to make the mobile/desktop consistent. You can get the old style back by using custom CSS – can you kindly share the URL?
Thanks in advance
Thank you. Yes, this change it’s great, but sometimes is useful to use the old header on mobile version. I thought maybe you have kept the option to go back to the old header. This is the page: https://tinyurl.com/rmnych8 Thanks for your time
Hey primarelease,
You can add this into the custom CSS Box in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab in regards:

Hello, i submitted a ticket on November 22, 2019. From that day my problem does not solved. And now, my support is finished. I am not able to send a messege on support page. But, i want you to solve this problem.
PRIVATE TICKET #2223167Hey mrfrt, I sent you an email earlier today in regards.
Cheers
6 months ago you mentioned you’d look into implementing support for the Wordpress official wp_body_open hook. Any progress on this?
It’s a crucial requirement for a clean implementation of the Google Tag Manager body noscript tag, but it’s dependent on the theme’s implementation of support for this official hook. Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!
Hey cwdott!
Salient has a hook titled “nectar_hook_after_body_open” which lives at the same location. If you’re using the plugin google tag manager, you should be able to hook as needed through a child functions.php like so:
add_action('nectar_hook_after_body_open','gtm4wp_the_gtm_tag');
Cheers
That’s awesome! Thanks for the prompt response
You’re welcome cwdott
Hi team,
In blog page(single post) how do i hide the next post row? Is it possible without the CSS?
Thanks.
Hey Karthikdruv,
You can disable the single post navigation in the Salient options panel > blog > functionality tab with the option titled “Post Navigation Links On Single Post Page”
Cheers
Some templates are quite outdated, when you are planning on updating these? For example:
salient/woocommerce/checkout/review-order.php versie 3.3.0 is verouderd. De hoofdversie is 3.8.0
salient/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/tabs.php versie 2.4.0 is verouderd. De hoofdversie is 3.8.0
Or is another plugin causing this?
Hey dzineee, the current release of Salient is already providing those versions – what version of the theme are you using?
Thank you, apparently I missed an update (Y)
No worries dzineee
Hello is there any way to add social media links to author’s bio? https://cyklopedia.cc/cycling-tips/cycling-zones/ Thank you.
Hey Fixedman, When editing the “Biographical Info” field in the WP admin > Users > Profile section, you can add regular HTML anchor tag links in at the bottom as desired.
Cheers
Thank you.
You’re welcome Fixedman
