Hi guys! How to make the placement of blocks horizontal instead of vertical in the mobile version https://i.ibb.co/0MyF5hN/333.jpg
Hey night_twister!
You can accomplish that by using the responsive options tab when editing each of the columns. Check out the docs in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-columns/#width
Cheers
Am I missing something or is the Non Profit demo missing from the demo importer? I would really like to use it! I have the new v12.0 installed. Thanks!
Nevermind! I ran the demo importer update. Worked! Thanks.
Hey cdawg, glad to hear you sorted it 
Love the new update!
I’m glad to hear, toolbox101
Cheers
Hi there, hope you’re well, is it possible to add a mobile number to main header bar that is visible on mobile and desktop? thanks
Hey Joshuats,
In the Salient options panel > Header navigation > Secondary header bar tab, change the option labeled “Secondary Header Mobile Functionality” to be “Display items above mobile header”.
If that’s not working for you, kindly share your page URL so that I can take a look.
Hope you’ve been well too
Hi, Having trouble with the shop. It’s displaying odd number of boxes at the top rather than the bottom – https://ibb.co/sjSnr7H Any css solution to this
https://www.fashionflooringandinteriors.co.uk/category/rugs/Hey MarcGarner, to correct that without updating your Salient version, you can add in the following CSS:
body.woocommerce:not(.single-product) ul.products[data-n-phone-columns="2"] li.product,
body.woocommerce:not(.single-product) ul.products[data-n-phone-columns="2"] li.product.material {
width: 47.8%!important;
}
Hello, I update the theme and salient social plugin gives me this error, so I can’t activate it and at the end, can’t import demo content because doesn’t appears on the panel.
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at hostmaster@server.tld to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at www.confiterosvalladolid.com Port 80
I spoke with the hosting provider and tells me to speaks with you because everything is update php 7.4 and 7.3 and doesn’t work anyway. Can you help me?
Hey siti1978,
You’ll need to open the server error log to get further details on what the error occurring actually is. Can you please do that and copy/paste any “fatal errors” so I can assist?
You can reach out directly via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
I found this Git and maybe it is a great differentiator for a theme that detects a dark version of the browser … which is already a preference of the user very used.

Hey ofmarconi, thanks for sharing
Hello,
I am contacting you today because I have noticed a recurring problem with all the sites I have deployed with Salient. For a reason I don’t know the product images are blurred/pixelated on the shop page when it is full width. Once on the product page the picture is completely normal.
I tried to regenerate the thumbnails but it doesn’t change anything. Any idea where this can come from?
Hey EspaceTech,
The image sizes that are used for the product archives as well as the single product pages are defined by you via the WordPress customizer > WooCommerce > Product images. Make sure that you have the “Thumbnail width” set to a size that meets your layout choices.
Thanks, you guys are awesome!
Glad I could help, EspaceTech
Hi. Great theme. I am using fancy box description on hover. I have two problems. - I want to use the main color of the theme for the icon (usually white). - When I hover and the caption text appears, it appears aligned to the center, but not in the center of the box. All column and row settings are centered, but the text in the box appears aligned to the center, but not in the center of the box. Not aligned with the icon. Can u help me? thnaks
Sorry, Icon and text before hover
Hey ivanbermejo,
1. You can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab for altering the color of the icon:
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style="hover_desc"] .inner i {
color: #3452ff;
}
2. Can you please share your URL so I can take a look at the alignment?
Thanks in advance
As you can see, the text in fancy box does not focus on the box. I would also like to change the color of the text before hover
thanks so so much
Hey ivanbermejo, Try to add the following:
.nectar-fancy-box[data-style] .hover-content {
left: 10%!important;
}
Cheers
Fantasy! Thanks!
Glad I could help, ivanbermejo
I purchased Salient theme several years ago back when they were on v. 7.0.8. Now that they’re on Salient v12.0…
Question 1: I was wondering if it’d be more advisable to do a clean install of the new Salient and/or hire someone (for a modest fee hopefully :money_mouth_face:) to help transfer the old to the new.
Are there turn-key services out there that do this? From the release notes on your website, it would seem that it’s really impossible to “upgrade” based on some foundational changes that have been made to the product. What do you recommend?
Question 2: Is customization worth it or should i just use the out-of-the-box theme and save some heartache? I poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in doing a lot of custom work to it (even hired contractors to help), but now I’m wondering if it’d be worth it to perhaps go in a differnt direction. I have no visibility into what will break.
My fear is I won’t be able to get the functionality I want and need professional help so that i’m not destroying all of the content it has taken me years to create. I skew more towards the UI/UX & content side and less on the HTML/Programmatic side.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide before i make a go/no-go decision on re-upping on the theme.
Hey arezendes,
If you have not created a child theme with custom template/function overrides, you’ll be able to update fairly easily. It’s only when aspects of Salient are overridden that extra work would be needed – and that would entail updating the child theme template overrides to match the new parent structure.
The main thing to be aware of is that Salient now splits up various functionality into separate plugins, and when you update, you’ll simply need to install/activate those plugins as mentioned in the update guide:
http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/I would suggest that you just do the update on a staging server first to verify everything will go smoothly
We are not personally available to migrate your site for you, but of course we will be here for answering any questions and assisting with issues if you run into them.

Hello there, So glad that you have decided to implement the self hosted video feature as we often resort to adding video tags into a raw html element. However we have just tried this new feature and it doesn’t appear to be working correctly. First- It does not respect its containers width and bursts out of the container. Second- The video scale percentage does not work. Third- The image placeholder also does not seem to work either.
FYI video file is being served from AWS S3 bucket, as is the image placeholder. Only tested on Chrome on a Mac.
Oh well I’ll continue to use the video tags for now but look forward to an update that fixes these thing. All the best and keep up the great work on this theme we simply love it.
Hey richardbranson,
We’re using the self hosted video element in multiple places on the new demo site. Since I can’t replicate the issues you’re referring to, could you please provide a test URL to show them? Also, can you verify that you’ve regenerated any css minification (if you’re using that on your server)? It sounds like the most up to date styles might not be loading in your setup.
Thanks in advance
Thank you for you prompt response. You were spot on with your diagnosis it was the CSS minification by W3 Total Cache. All fixed thank you.
Glad I could help, richardbranson
Is it possible to change the “No products in the cart” text please?
Hey velocity_uk,
That string is the default text of the WooCommerce mini cart. Here’s a resource on altering it: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-the-no-products-in-the-cart-message/
Cheers
Thanks, a bit gnarly for me to attempt. Could we get this built into the theme please?
Hey, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Thank you, really appreciated.
Hello team.
I would like to change the order in product categories, first showing the products and then the text.
This is in order to write longer descriptions and not to let down the products and improve the SEO.
Thank you
Hey carbotecnia,
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.archive.tax-product_cat .post-area.span_9 {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
Great, thanks!
You’re welcome, carbotecnia
We are comparing Salient and Jupiter templates to buy one of theme for our store website. What advantage do you see in Salient and WPBakery over Jupiter and Elmantor?
And I remember a few years ago we used Visual Composer for one of our sites. In practice, what is the difference between WPBakery and Visual Composer? Are they the same and only after a few years have the name of Visual Composer changed to WPBakery or not, are they completely different?
Hey Jabbarpour,
1. The Salient WPBakery page builder offers many of the same features of Elementor, you should take a look through the demos and included theme elements to see which theme will be a better fit for what you’re trying to build: http://themenectar.com/promo
2. the developers of Visual Composer renamed their plugin to WPBakery a few years ago and then forked it to create a separate standalone product which they are selling separately from Envato. It confused a lot of people, so they made an FAQ to explain it: https://visualcomposer.com/help/faq/visual-composer-website-builder-vs-wpbakery-page-builder/

Hi Guys,
I’m using top and bottom shape dividers on a row. Is it possible to set fill to two different colors?
I tried the following but it changes both top and bottom svgs
.nectar-shape-divider:first-child{ fill: aqua; }
Hey sam_lee1985,
you can target it like so:
.nectar-shape-divider-wrap[data-position='top'] .nectar-shape-divider {
fill: aqua;
}
Is that anyway to use full screen search in Material Theme Skin?
Hey Jabbarpour,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.material #search-outer {
height: 100vh;
transform: translate3d(0,-100vh,0);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,-100vh,0);
}
Hello,
I have an problem when I publish/update a page.
Every other element works fine until I create a text box and paste this text:
Idiom: Cut corners. Meaning: To do something poorly to save time. Examples: No wonder the contractor cut corners! He was getting paid $10 an hour! Don’t cut corners. Buy a nice suit for your presentation. Tom trains hard – he doesn’t cut corners in his workouts. Jim has a bad reputation in the business community. He is known for always cutting corners instead of doing honest hard work for his clients. My father often had to cut corners when we were kids in order to feed all of us. When the boss found out that the accounting department was cutting corners, he fired all of the lead accountants. I had to cut some corners to be able to pay all of my bills this month. We suspected that Bob cut some corners to finish his project. He finished an 8-hour job in just 3 hours. The whole office knows that Jenny had to cut some corners to get the promotion. She never works hard. The repair man cut corners when fixing our shower. Five minutes after he finished the job, the shower started leaking again.
As soon as I hit update I get the error This site can’t be reached englishvids.com took too long to respond.
Do you have any idea of the problem?
Thank you,
Hey anthonyseoul,
Fatal errors like that on the edit page when attempting to save changes is usually triggered by a security plugin on the server blocking the request. In the case that it’s triggered by arbitrary text, it’s likely a false positive.
Have you inspected the text in the classic editor > text tab after pasting it in to check that there’s no hidden HTML? I would also check your server error log for the most recent error at the bottom to get more details on the error.
Is Salient compatible with WPBakery Page Builder Addons?
Hey Jabbarpour,
Yes, but some elements added from them could potentially clash with existing elements if the plugin is adding a new set of page builder elements. Kindly let me know if you have any issues.
Hi, I’m trying to change the background colour default of the headings on the woocommerce categories, I see in the code its getting the colour #eaf0ff from somewhere, but can’t find where unless I’m being dumb – could you advise how i change this?
Casual Shirts
Hey calsherry3,
Are you referring to the heading of product titles, the heading of the title on the archive or something else? If you could provide a URL in regards it would help it easier to assist
Thanks in advance
Hello – referring to the blue colour used in these banners – https://we.tl/t-EfltlG4ivq
Hey calsherry3, edit the page which is defined as the “shop” page for WooCommerce – it should be set in the page header settings metabox.
Cheers
I just wanted to tell you, you’re the best and i love you <3
Thanks paulinavargasin, so nice of you to say
Hope you have a great weekend!
