Also a very weird thing happened to the mobile off canvas menu. It’s not showing on the home page and when the page scrolled down, it suddenly comes out from the left and blocking the logo on the top left corner. everything worked fine before I update salient and VC to the latest version.
Hey sunnydream, please see my response to your previous comment.

This is very frustrating. I have been using Salient for years and recently updated with the newest version as well as the newest visual composer, now all my images are missing on mobile. How to fix this? Thanks!
Hey sunnydream,
That sounds like it could either be 1. A caching issue which could be caused if you have a minification plugin active and have not cleared it since updating. 2. A child theme conflict, if you’re using one.
If you can share your actual URL in regards I’d be glad to take a look and assist.
Thanks in advance
Thanks very much!
Hey sunnydream,
Which method did you previously use to update? Some files loading in your setup are not from version 12 – there’s a mix of old and new files, which will cause various issues. The responsive.css file located at https://www.bettadesignlab.com/wp-content/themes/salient/css/responsive.css is not current – it’s possible that it’s either hard cached in your setup, or when you updated that file never got overridden with the latest version.
It looks like you’re cloudflare, I would first try to disable that to rule out the caching possibility and if that doesn’t correct it, try to simply reupload the version 12 of the theme to ensure it’s all current.
Hey sunnydream, there’s a few methods described in the documentation on that page – I’m assuming you tried the first method (Envato market plugin)?
What was the error that you received?
I first used the Envato market plugin and it gives me all those mobile errors. Then I tried to use Easy Theme Upgrades Plugin but it doesn’t exist any more. At the end, I tried method 3 and installed theme, but all the mobile errors are still there. Thanks!

Thanks in advance
just sent~ thanks very much!
Thanks so much! After clearing out all cache, it’s finally working now.
You’re very welcome, sunnydream 
yo. So I just tried out the latest theme version to try out the multiscreen editing features. I do have to say I was a little disappointed. I was hoping for the ability to have content be unique per view, but that wasn’t the case. Really all I got was the ability to just change the viewport to see my edits via desktop/mobile etc. I’m sure there’s subtle changes per device but besides changelog where can I find more information on these? Really crossing my fingers that i missed something obvious and I can actually change my content Per device without having to duplicate the content.
Hey SiteTonight,
The ability to provide separate sets of content per device was never a planned feature, as that would not be the ideal solution in regard to SEO.
The devices groups in v12.0 allow you to edit the key styling attributes for each viewport (padding/margin etc.), which has opened up tons of new design possibilities and allows for much greater control over the layout. The option to control the column ordering has also been added: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#column-direction
Utilizing these new features should eliminate the need for separate rows to be shown/hidden on mobile and desktop in most cases. If you’re not seeing those options, make sure you’ve also updated your version of the Salient core plugin to the current release (1.5)
Cheers
Hi, great theme and i am really enjoying it. I am not a programmer etc.. but i try my best! is there a way to make the “Portfolio display in Alphabetical” order? Do i need to insert a code somewhere?
Hey yousif1, I’m glad to hear you’ve enjoying Salient
If you use the newer “Post Grid” element, and set it to display from the portfolio, there’s an option built in that will allow you to query projects alphabetically: https://ibb.co/Pwq77RR
Cheers
Hello and thank you for your reply. No i do not have this option. are you able to login to my wordpress and check it out? I am not a programmer and need your help please.
Hey yousif1,
If you’re not seeing the post grid element in your page builder, you likely just need to update your theme and the included Salient plugins. Please do so by following any of the methods described in the docs that is easiest for you: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Hello Salient team,
Quick question, is there a way to add a block of text on the Off Canvas Menu/Mobile Menu?
Thanks in advance
Hey EspaceTech,
The off canvas navigation section has a widget area. You can assign a text widget to it in the Appearance > Widgets
Cheers
Thank you, is there a way to assign this text only to a sub-menu and not display it on the main menu?
Hey EspaceTech,
Unfortunately there is no way to do that without some custom modding
Ok thanks
Can we set a specific aspect ratio with the “Self Hosted Video” feature?
Hey Mindthemix,
the self hosted video element provides a dropdown to select the aspect ratio – if you’re trying to set it to something different than one of the available ratios, you can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .container-wrap .wpb_video_widget .wpb_video_wrapper {
padding-top: 25%;
}
(Adjust the padding % as needed)
Thanks so much for the prompt reply!
You’re welcome, Mindthemix
Hello, I’ve added a snippet to the functions.php to remove the description and additional info titles in the product pages, but they’ve suddenly reappeared. How would I go about permanently hiding these and closing the white space gap between the content below?
https://www.doggylottery.co.uk/product/play-weekly/Thank you, Adam
Also the text in the copyright section of the footer isn’t showing as bold despite it being set to bold in the widget edit area. Please assist.
Hey Adam,
1. What snippet are you using to remove them? If you go the CSS route, you can hide them with the following:
.woocommerce div.product .woocommerce-tabs > .full-width-content {
display: none;
}
body .woocommerce-tabs[data-tab-style=fullwidth] {
margin-top: 0;
}
2. If you update to v12, you’ll be able to specify your bold typography separately – in previous versions it is automatically set to 600 for the weight. To correct it without updating, you can also use this snippet:
#footer-outer strong {
font-weight: 700;
font-family: 'Open Sans';
}
Cheers
Hello – hope you are well. We are currently running WP 5.4.1 with Salient theme v12.0; WooCommerce 4.1.0. Since upgrading to WooCommerce 4.1.0, we have received the error: outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. Specifically this template: salient/woocommerce/myaccount/form-login.php version 3.6.0 is out of date. The core version is 4.1.0. Please advise if there will be a future Salient update to address this error. Thank you for your time.
Hey bluedirtgirl!
We’ll be releasing an update to correct that this weekend
Cheers
Hi team!
How do you get the same menu properties from Agency to Corporate 3?
(1) When I enable “Header Permanent Transparent” in the Salient options > Header navigation > transparent header effect tab, the header is still not transparent after scroll. https://www.nyskaparna.se
(2) Regarding logo size (I want it to be same size in Agency as in Corporate 3), I have changed the “Logo Height” in the Salient options > header navigation > logo & general styling tab, but the size is not changing. Please do assist. https://www.nyskaparna.se
(3) When googling the exact phrase ”nyskaparna.se”, really odd sitelinks show that I am not using (for instance from archive), hello world and example page). When I previously used Agency, I believe only subpages that were shown in the main menu appeared as sitelinks when googling. How to edit these or delete sitelinks?
Thank you guys for the best theme for Wordpress!
Cheers, Mr. Cross
Hey Mr. Cross!
1 & 2. I can see that the markup is showing that the option is not enabled – this is likely being caused by the same server caching issue that you were previously having
3. Are you using an SEO plugin such as Yoast? It will allow you to easily control your sitemap: https://yoast.com/help/xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/
You can also use the Google search console to assist in updating your search results: https://yoast.com/help/fetch-as-googlebot/

Hi Guys, hope you’re doing well!

Hi there, anyone who can guide me? I’m getting mixed content errors when trying to use HTTPS, so my address lock is in grey, and I want it in green. I already try Really Simple SLL plugin, but it does not resolve the issue (I suppose it will do it if you pay for it and I don’t have money for that right now) So, can anyone guide me on how can I fix that? (I don’t want my page to get broken if I made something wrong) Please, be nice, I´m a newby in this. Thanks!! (I already google it and try the .htaccess method but… of course, did not work.
Hey NTCo, can you please share your actual URL in regards so I can assist?
Thanks in advance
I have a problem with the sidebar width jumping when using the “Left Aligned Thumbnails + Sticky Product Info” in WooCommerce.
You can see what I mean here – https://www.luxuryprinting.com/product/clear-plastic-business-cards/. The sidebar on the right gets wider as you scroll down. Any ideas?
Hey Sean,
With the mod you’ve made to incorporate the product description to also be sticky, some CSS would need to be changed to accommodate.
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) {
.single-product .row >.product[data-gallery-style=left_thumb_sticky][data-tab-pos=fullwidth] .summary.entry-summary {
padding: 0!important;
width: 40%!important;
margin-left: 5%;
}
}
Cheers

Hey NTCo!

Hello
Three questions,
1 – Is it possible to reduce the height of the main footer area? I consider an excessive height. I would like it to be slimmer Reduce padding
2 -I have a footer with 4 or 3 columns, I have added a text (link) in each column and I want to include an icon to the left of each text. If I load a very small pixel icon, it still looks huge.
3- Footer: It is possible to reduce the vertical space between items in each column
Millions of thanks
Hey ivanbermejo,
1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #footer-outer .row {
padding: 25px 0;
}
2. I’m not currently seeing any icons set in the footer area, can you add one back in so that I can assist?
3.
body #footer-outer #footer-widgets .col ul li {
padding: 2px 0;
}
Cheers
Don’t worry! now it’s working, thanks!
You’re welcome, ivanbermejo
Hello, how I can do rounded corners on top of the page? https://cyklopedia.cc/ and how I can put rounded corners on specific “rows” Thank you.
Hey Fixedman,
Are you referring to this area? https://ibb.co/w6qPshZ If so, that would not be possible without custom development.
As far as setting individual rows to have rounded edges, there’s an option for rounded edges that’s available for every row as of v12
Cheers
Hi guys, is it possible to add a gradient on a background, Ive tried a class and it doesnt work? Please help.
Hey richardwells,
You can add a gradient overlay on a row or column background. Please see the following documentation in regards:
http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#gradient-overlay http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-columns/#gradient-overlayCheers
Hi I am having issues with your gallery. It seems that – no matter what I try – the images are always super small. It’s not like the demo at all. And i really do not know what to do: http://kesharueeger.ch/?portfolio=headmosphere-bachelorarbeit
I mean who would want images that small on a website? That makes no sense to me at all.
Am I missing something here? Thanks you so much for helping!
Hey Janafigliuolo,
From the looks of that page, you have a gallery element set to display as a gird, placed inside of a 1/3 column – which will result in a tiny layout.
Please place your image gallery inside of its own row, and activate the full width portfolio layout if you’re not using the sidebar area: https://ibb.co/HnwfjQk
Hi! I need to update a file on my child theme (it is the page-header.php (path nectar/helpers/page-header.php)). I’ve tried to replicate the path on my child theme but it didn’t worked. It also assumed the file on the silent theme and not on the silent-child. What am I doing wrong? It is not supposed to replicate the path? I have silent-child/nectar/helpers/page-header.php Thanks in advance!
Hey jbejasi!
You can not override that entire template file, as it contains many functions and doing so would also likely cause conflicts in the future when updating. What you can do instead is copy individual functions from that file and paste them into your child theme funcitons.php for overriding.
Cheers
I want to change the view icon that appears on the portfolio items when you hover with a red background. It is round.
Hey modestoperezmorales,
You can disable that option by editing the post grid element in the page builder and disabling the option titled “Add Link Mouse Indicator”
If instead you’re trying to alter it with CSS, you can target it with the selector ”.nectar-view-indicator”
Cheers
How can I remove the Zoom function on Product Image Lightbox only. I still want to be able to zoom-in when hovering on the product images, but when the product image lightbox is open, I want to disable the zoom-in function.
Hey dienstdigital, You can use the following for that:
.pswp__zoom-wrap {
pointer-events: none;
}
