guys, awesome theme! When I click on “More posts by Author” in the blog area I get to a page where I can’t change the header image. How am I able to change the header image of a specific author and his posts?
Thanks titansdesign 
For now that would require custom CSS. You can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab and modify to fit your site:
.author-YOUR-AUTHOR-NAME #page-header-bg .page-header-bg-image {
background-image: url(IMG.JPG)!important;
}
Cheers
is this correct?
.author-PDG #page-header-bg .page-header-bg-image { background-image: url(‘https://perspectives.princetondg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/image-3.jpg')!important; }
somehow not working …
also, how do i update it for multiple authors?
Hey titansdesign, Here’s an example snippet for 2 authors:
.author-pdg #page-header-bg .page-header-bg-image {
background-image: url(https://perspectives.princetondg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/image-3.jpg)!important;
}
.author-chris #page-header-bg .page-header-bg-image {
background-image: url(https://perspectives.princetondg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/image-3.jpg)!important;
}
Also, the default image used on all archives can be defined by you in the Salient options panel > blog tab via the “Archive Header Background Image” option
SUPPORT for DEMO site I renewed my support with you guys. Doesn’t show a new “lic code” for me to submit a new ticket.
here’s my q:
My site has been running on the very first (legacy) demo design of salient for a while. I want to change it up, using different parts of ur different demo sites.
1. Is it possible to import (certain) pages of your demo sites (ie. index page and subsequent pages of (porfolio) “CREATIVE PORTFOLIO” & (blog business) “NONPROFIT” without it being implemented or over-writting what I currently have?
- in other words, just import these pages just as drafts so that I can see how it is done, then replicate?
2. If possible to import pages without over-writting current, how do I do it?
- A long time ago, it was imported as XML. But now I don’t see the option there.
3. Can the “CREATIVE PORTFOLIO” demo be repurposed as a biz site, w/ a portfolio in a separate tab?
Please help.
Thank you
Hey meic01m
The license code can take an hour on Ticksy after renewing to refresh – I responded to your ticket over there in regards.
Cheers
thank you!
You’re welcome, meic01
I am trying to figure out why the titles/descriptions are working for some images but not others at the bottom of my image gallery lightbox view. Here is the site I’m referring to: http://jennytraynham.com/#work.
See screenshots below for reference:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/os0dg5kf72×8c91/Screen%20Shot%202020-04-22%20at%2011.20.34%20AM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/apn25o9mq3b0hh9/Screen%20Shot%202020-04-22%20at%2011.19.37%20AM.png?dl=0
Hey bentraynham, make sure you use the HTML symbol for quotes in that are in captions so that they can parse within the lightbox HTML correctly. It looks like some of your paintings are using a standard double quote instead of an HTML entity
Oh yes, that did it! Thank you so much for catching that!
Glad I could help, bentraynham
What specifically is “remove default portfolio single project header” meant to do? I’ve enabled it but all my project pages still have the header – with image and centred text displayed over it – as before.
Examples would be really helpful in the update notes, it’s often unclear what’s meant to happen or what needs to be enabled/disabled elsewhere for it to work.
Hey Millionsknives, Have you updated your Salient Portfolio plugin to the current release (1.5)? If so, that option should indeed be removing the header without you having to do anything further. If you’re already updated, please share your URL in regards so I can take a look.
Thanks in advance
That fixed it, thank you. I only updated the Core plugin, I didn’t even know there was one for Portfolio!
Glad that fixed it for you, Millionsknives
Hi, Is it possible to use Salient (without code level customizations) to build a personal brand website similar to https://www.marieforleo.com/
Hey mohammed_burhani,
Something similar could be achieved, but not exactly that design without various tweaks.
Cheers
Few things
1) YOUR CART IS EMPTY font is way too large. Is there a way to customize that alone?
2) RELATED PRODUCTS title font also too large on product page. I need to be able to customize the size alone without using typography settings because it seems to be used in multiple places
3) SEARCH BAR isn’t Ajax on mobile or for shopping on mobile. Any way to correct this?
4) PRODUCT CATEGORIES title links on SHOP PAGE (and throughout website) are too small. How can I edit these
Hey LilNinjaMedia,
1. The empty cart text is inheriting from your Heading 2 typography settings. You can alter it with CSS alone by using the following:
.woocommerce-page .woocommerce p.cart-empty {
font-size: 24px;
}
2.
#ajax-content-wrap .related.products > h2,
#ajax-content-wrap .upsells.products > h2 {
font-size: 20px;
}
3. That would require custom development as of now
4. Are you using the Product category grid provided by Salient or the default WooCommerce category links? Kindly share a URL which shows the sizing issue so I can take a look at your settings
Thank You for answering the questions above.
Here is a more detailed explanation of what I need font-wise right now:
1) I am looking to change just the font of the Woocommerce Product Category Widget to Montserrat Bold 800. Please advise with a CSS code.
2) On Category Archive Pages, I would like the ability to change the Product Title Font to the same Montserrat Bold 800 font.. but NOT italic. Seems like it’s currently inheriting H2 font style and I can’t seem to figure out how to customize it alone. Please advise with a CSS code.
3) I’d like to ADD TO CART in ALL CAPS. Please advise with a CSS code.
4) I’d like to style the DROP DOWN font in Product Pages for variations / attribute selections.
Thank You in advance !
Hey LilNinjaMedia,
1. Can you please share your site URL so I can take a look at your current settings?
2. You can alter the product title typography in the Salient options > Typography > Nectar specific elements > WooCommerce Product Title Font
3. The add to cart button will inherit from the Typography > Nectar Specific elements > Sidebar, Carousel, Nectar Button & Footer Headers Font or you can use the following:
.products li.product .product-add-to-cart a span {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
4.
.single-product select,
.single-product .select2-container {
font-family: 'Open Sans';
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 18px;
}

Hey LilNinjaMedia,
.woocommerce .widget.woocommerce > ul a {
font-weight: 800;
font-family: Montserrat;
}
Hello.
Our website is www.NextDayShopper.com
For some reason, on mobile, our PRODUCT page thumbail gallery images aren’t working.
can you please advise?
Hey LilNinjaMedia,
This was correct in v12 – if you don’t want to update immediately, you can also add this into the css box:
@media only screen and (max-width: 999px) {
.single-product .row>.product[data-gallery-style=left_thumb_sticky] .summary.entry-summary {
clear: both;
}
}
I really wish you guys would improve your e-commerce functionality more.
Hey baran0194, I’m not seeing any previous requests from this username – can you specify what new functionality you’re hoping to see in Salient?
Thanks in advance
I’ve loved this theme for a while now, I’ve spent a ton of time building up my site. However, today I just updated to the new Wordpress, went through and updated Salient and all its files and plugins associated with it, but now my site appears to be broken and I can’t figure out how to fix it.
On all of my pages now except for the home page, I have a white gap on the right, in my portfolio page, all my thumbnails are shrined down so small I can’t see or click anything. I have a Gear page where I list equipment for rentals, that page is broken now as well.
I can’t figure out what went wrong. Has anyone else experienced this? www.framedbyaustin.com
Hey iaustinhughes,
It looks like those issues are coming from the plugin you have activated “Responsive Photo Gallery”, which is globally loading bootstrap on all pages. Bootstrap is a CSS framework that will conflict with the Salient grid system.
Can you please try deactivating that plugin?
I can’t believe you were able to determine that being the issue so quickly. You’re an absolute hero. Thank you so so much!
I’m glad I could help, iaustinhughes
Can I ask what font you use for the logo in the Agency demo?
Hey ThemeNectar (Phil),
1) I’m trying to change the language of “Next” at the bottom of the blog page (index.php) + “Previous Post” and “Next Post” at the bottom of a blog post (single.php) to my native language.
Earlier you pointed me to the folder salient/nectar/helpers where the relevant .php-files seem to be located (blog.php + pagination.php). I’ve copied them to my child-theme and made the relevant changes in the code (using the correct folder path) but nothing happens. Am I missing something?
2) How do I limit/control the number of blog excerpts displayed on the blog page (index.php)? I’m using the Ascend theme skin.
No matter what thanks for a great theme!
Hey mikromakro
1. You’ll need to copy the actual functions out of those files (nectar_next_post_display, nectar_pagination) into your child theme. The files themselves need to load from the parent theme.
2. In your WP admin, head to Settings > Reading and use the “Blog pages show at most” field
Cheers
Thanks! Point 1 was super easy and works perfectly (and a little embarrassing concerning question 2!).
Also I’d to thank you for your quick, precise and excellent service/support. And your kind willingness to help out. That’s huge =D
I have a few more questions since I’m close to (re)launching my business site. I’ll ask in a separate thread/comment. Hope it’s ok.
Best, Peter
Glad I could help, Peter
Hey webhelpagency,
You can provide your own image that the particles will form into. Here’s a video tutorial:

How to activate the percentage sliders as shown in the front end editor demo please?
Hey velocity_uk,
The numerical fields within the row/column settings will have that functionality by default in the frontend and backend editors, once you’ve updated your Salient core plugin to current release.
Hello Phil, is there any chance in the near future you might switch to or offer an elementor version of that theme? I have looked around now for two days to find something similar for elementor but I didn’t, that would be a big market waiting.. And I want to take advantage of more complex features, using dynamic data, building cpt’s and card loops, etc. which wpbakery is at the moment not able to do. That would really be awesome…
Hey nebaon
I’ve noted your +1 for the idea. As of now, there’s no concrete timeline when/if that would happen
Congrats on the 12.0 update!
Is there a way to recreate the contact form from the Wellness template? For my contact form I can only select: Inherit or Minimal but they both don’t look like the form on the new Wellness template. I don’t see it in the Salient Studio or Demo Importer either. (Im not talking about the title or button, just the form.)
Wellness: https://i.imgur.com/saK14X3.png
My Salient Contact 7: https://i.imgur.com/S6gIhJA.png
Thank you!
Thanks a lot, J0ERI!
When you select “Inherit” it will change depending on the theme skin. To get the look of that demo, you’ll need to be using the Material theme skin in the Salient options > general settings tab. If you’re also wondering about the column setup – see the following: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/contact-form-columns/
Cheers
Noticed the post grid option – Content Under Featured Image. Are there any demos or screenshots of this at all?
Hey jbennett360, we added a few new Salient Studio templates which use that option.

Hi,
My portfolio bottom navigation Next/prev. has a white space on top which i want to remove.
I edit this code:
.bottom_controls {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.03);
padding: 40px 0;
margin-top: 40px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
to
.bottom_controls {margin-top: 0px!important;}
but that does not fix the problem. In Chrome Dev tools when I remove that top 40 works, but when I put the actuall CSS it does not do anything. Do i have the wrong CSS selector?
Hey toolbox101,
Can you kindly share the project URL so I can take a look why your CSS is not taking effect?
Cheers
Thanks, took care of this, there was a code conflict.
However, I have one more question, if I am using the new post grid for portfolio and want to adjust the font size of the project Excerpt where do I go to do that? I have tried Portfolio Caption/Excerpt in the Typography section but that did not work.
Can you help? thanks
Hey toolbox101,
The post grid excerpt only inherits the body font properties for now. You can use CSS like so:
.nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item .meta-excerpt {
font-size: 14px;
}
Hello, in the last Po-file (last update 20 April 20) the link to the following words is missing:
1. All (project) 2. Previous Project 3. Next project 4. Back to all projects
Can you please create the links for the translation?
greeting
Hey vik_, those strings are related to the salient-portfolio plugin and are kept in the .pot file inside of the plugin (wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/languages)
Hi, my path is ../wp-content/themes/salient-child/lang/
de_DE.mo de_DE.po
Where can I translate the following terms:
1. All (project) 2. Previous Project 3. Next project 4. Back to all projects
Best regards
Hey vik_,
What plugin are you using to translate the strings? i.e. such as locotranslate, Say What? etc.
In locotranslate, there’s an interface to translate from all of the active plugins. In Say what, you can directly define the string you want + the text domain: https://ibb.co/Gp0T7wT
Cheers
Hi, I wanted to get by without plugins. Is it possible to translate the text areas listed above with Poedit.app? I changed most of the text areas with the app. Cheers
Hey vik_, You can open the wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/languages/salient-portfolio.pot file and generate a .po/.mo in your language code to store in that folder. The translations can’t be done within the same files you are translating the theme strings from.
Svg’s are no longer being accepted within the single image module whereas before they were with the “SVG support” plugin. Is there a fix for this as Im sure many users will want to continue using svg’s
Hey damien522, I responded to your ticket on the support forum in regards.
Cheers
hi, yep, thanks for that…sorry, shouldn’t have posted in both places. Awesome support thanks
Glad I could help, damien522
hi there, we are using your theme. visual editor stopped working after latest wp update. Do you have a fix for it?
Hey parm23, If you’ve already verified that no third party plugin you may have active is causing that, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so I can take a look at the error https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
On this (news section) page: https://eventsoftwarebenelux.com/klant-aan-het-woord-olga/ all my hyperlinks are white (and my bg color is white as well). I would like them to appear in blue: #00afef. If I add this to css : body a {color:#00afef} it changes to blue but also all my links on for example my home page. How to fix this?
Thanks!
Hey Abbenhues,
You can use the following CSS in regards:
.single-post a {
color: #3555ff;
}
Cheers
!important;){kind=link}
