Hello, I bought your theme long time ago and never used it. now I want to use it but I found many small issues. for example:
I am trying to create a page like you mobile app demo but on each screen I want to have 2 images (1/2 screen each) on full height with 30px margin on all sides. I don’t know why but it’s not letting me to do it. what ever I am not trying to do, I can’t get margin on the bottom for some reason.
I don’t want to pay for the support for this small thing that should be easy to do.
I am hoping you can help.
thanks.
Hey rockdesignnet,
If you’re also using the “Fullscreen Rows” option as shown in the mobile app demo, the layout you’re describing can be accomplished using the option “Full height” for the fullscreen row position, with an inner row set to 2 columns. The images would then be set as background images on each of the columns, and top/bottom padding could be used for the desired spacing to match the column margin. I created a pastebin with the setup: https://pastebin.com/Pezu4qqh
Here’s the result of that pastebin: https://ibb.co/RjGWfVr
Make sure you’re using a recent release of Salient (v12+)
Hi, I’m trying to use SVGs on my site. I’ve implemented the Safe SVG plug-in and can successfully upload and use the SVGs – until I change the max desktop width, and then they disappear… any thoughts?
Also, when I use the theme’s icons (Font Awesome), the bottom is clipped off if I fill with a gradient. They are fine with a solid color.
Please help! Thank you.
Hey quismarketing,
1. Could you share a page URL where the SVG issue can be observed?
2. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .nectar_icon_wrap .nectar_icon i {
vertical-align: baseline;
}
Cheers
Hi there – this is the link: https://web.ledgerpay.com/payment-tokenization/
I’ve put the example as the 6th icon. The code is pasted but I’m unable to see it effecting anything…
Thanks!
Thanks quismarketing,
You can correct this before the next release by add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.img-with-aniamtion-wrap[data-max-width="50%"].center .inner img {
width: 100%;
}
Cheers
Hey there. I have a question regarding the pagination on the portfolio element. In the older versions, there was an option to display page numbers (1,2,3, etc). Is that possible in this latest version? I only see the LOAD MORE option. As always, thank you.
Hey arteest,
the portfolio element still offers that as a pagination option, it’s only the “post grid” element which does not. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea
Cheers
I literally JUST discovered this, by accident, as soon as I received your reply, ha!
No worries, arteest 
Hi, I just download the latest version of salient and I activated all plugins, but Demo Importer doesn’t exists, doesn’t appear in Salient menu option . It’s really strange, because I’ve used it before with other old versions but now it dessapeared completely that tab. Any idea what could be wrong?
Hey segurihost,
As long as you have the Salient demo importer plugin active, it should show up in the theme options. Have you already tried to disable third party plugins to rule out a conflict? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin account so that I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks
I cannot customize with your theme. another themes works.
Hey onocomp, I just tested that plugin locally and was able to use it to alter the gravity form appearance. Could you share your URL in regards?
Thanks in advance
Are there any plans to improve pagination?
I’m pretty sure Salient used to have a much more useful pagination system? It used to show page numbers, provide links to page number 2, 3, etc. Do you have plans to bring this back? The current system, with left and right arrows, is very basic.
Page numbering would be especially useful on the search results page. Click a few pages into search results now and you’ve now idea how far you’ve gone…
Also – right now, search results show a fancy bullet with search result item 1, 2, etc. alongside each result. Click to page 2 of search results – the bullet numbers start from 1 again…
Hey stu12k,
1. Salient still uses the pagination you’re referring to for the blog/shop https://ibb.co/zHH8QvS – The search results has a simplified pagination, but I’ve noted your idea on the wishlist. If you’re not seeing the numerical pagination in other areas, please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look at the setup.
2. You can change the search results layout style in the Salient options panel > general WP pages tab. The other two styles do not use a numerical indicator.
Cheers
Thanks – yes, I appreciate that page numbering is available in the Blog/Shop, however clients expect to see page numbers when search results are returned. The simplified pagination on the results page seems far too basic. Would appreciate this as an addition in an upcoming release 
In the meantime, can you recommend an alternative to using the native Salient pagination to achieve what I’m looking for please?
Thanks
Hey stu12k,
You can copy the search.php file into your child theme, delete the default WP pagination
<?php if ( get_next_posts_link() || get_previous_posts_link() ) { ?>
<div id="pagination" data-layout="<?php echo esc_attr( $search_results_layout ); ?>">
<div class="prev"><?php previous_posts_link( '« Previous Entries' ); ?></div>
<div class="next"><?php next_posts_link( 'Next Entries »', '' ); ?></div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
And paste in the following:
<?php nectar_pagination(); ?>
Cheers
Brilliant! That’s exactly what I was after – thank you for your help!
Glad I could help stu12k 
Can you please help me with adding mailchimp at footer? I am not getting how to do it
Hey utsavchopra30,
Are you using a plugin to add the form or trying to paste in a mailchimp embed code? Salient doesn’t have a form system built in, so you’ll need to use a plugin to add the form via a widget that you assign to the footer and then connect it to mailchimp with the following: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
Hi i just noticed a bug. When i am in the frontend wpbakery row settings. If i ADD a row ID# it breaks the rows and the playback of hosted videos. Please check this on your end….Also the #menu items no longer work. Latest version of Salient…
Hey Wobblefin, I haven’t been able to replicate this yet – could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access, so I can take a closer look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to display the product category over the product name? Just like here: https://prnt.sc/sjl4se
And maybe like here: https://prnt.sc/sjnyii
Hey 1×20, Here’s a snippet you can add into your child theme functions.php file to query for that data:
add_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title', 'salient_child_woo_category_mod', 10 );
function salient_child_woo_category_mod() {
echo wc_get_product_category_list( get_the_id() );
}
Some additional styling would be needed.
Cheers
looks PERFECT!
Thanks for your kind words, KirEdesign 
Hi guys – Hope all is well! Quick question, is there a way to use multiple authors for a single blog post? Or is there a plugin for multiple authors that works with salient?
Hey brianlichty,
Unfortunately there’s nothing built into Salient to assist with multiple authors. I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for that, but let me know if you encounter any issues.
Cheers
Thank you, currently I am trying to adapt the Co-Authors Plus plugin but I cant find which salient file controls the author output? Currently I am running Standard Blog with Side bar, Featured Image Left with the Original Skin. And I am just looking to add the names – nothing else just names and have them link to their author pages.
This is the documentation that I am reading….
https://wpvip.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/As Always, Thanks for the help!!!
Hey brianlichty, You can find the relevant template file in Salient at salient/includes/partials/blog/styles/standard-featured-img-left/entry.php
Cheers
Hi, Is there a tutorial on how to use the Nectar Slider? The one on the site is from 2013 and needs to be updated.
Hey JamesSanghoon,
The Nectar Slider post type stores each slide as a separate post. You can assign the slides you create a specific location, which allow you to group various slides together when calling the Nectar Slide Page builder element: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/nectar-slider-plugin/Kindly let me know what specifically you’re having issues with so that I can point you in the right direction.
Cheers
Hi there,
Quick question, on this website and page: https://finestri.nl/ I’ve a recent post section. Am I able to add the post date to it? It’s not in the options. It’s a ‘List with Featured first row’. When I check settings the option to remove post date is already set on off. Thanks in advance.
Hey Abbenhues,
Certain styles in the recent posts element display different sets of meta data. If you’re using a recent release of Salient, you can get the same look as that by using the “post grid” element instead and selecting “content under featured image” for the style.
Cheers
Hi, thanks! I’ve tried it on a test page: https://finestri.nl/test/ but my excerpt isn’t showing and I’ve put it on ‘on’ in the settings. What am i missing here?
Thanks.
Hey Abbenhues,
Currently, the post grid is only looking for custom excerpts set: https://www.wpentire.com/excerpt-field-in-wordpress-post-page/ I’ve noted to alter that to pull automatically as well in the next release 
Great, thanks!
Glad I could help, Abbenhues 
Hi, I mange a website with the Salient theme installed, but as a parent, not a child theme. It is also quite a few revisions out of date and I am wondering if there is some quick method of reverse engineering a child theme on to it? I understand how to do this with the functions.php file, but if you know of anything better, please could you assist? I did not build the site or purchase the licence, but I can confirm there is a valid licence for the site and I could get those details if we can take this further.
I just wanted to send a preliminary message first
Thank you
Hey raveydj,
Was the parent theme modified? If so, I could provide you with the core version you’re using so you could do a diff check through a version control like git. This would let you know exactly what the modifications were.
Cheers
Hi there, I believe there are some changes to the functions.php file, so this is a good idea of yours to use as a reference. What I can tell you for certain is that when we update Salient on our staging site, we lose all the mods that have been done by ourselves, since the last 18 months. Although the site is working fine, we have a message <<Salient contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files<< and I’m also concerned we may be missing security upgrades. The them is currently at 8.10. Let me know if you would like proof of purchase and I will get this from the client. Many thanks
Rav
Hey Rav,
I can provide that version via email, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Hello again, I have sent that email to you, but I haven’t heard back from you. Did you receive this message at all?
Rav
Hey raveydj,
I just located your email and sent the copy over.
Cheers
Hi there, Theme Nectar team,
Thank you for sending the download,which I have just taken from Dropbox. If I install this version, I’m going to lose the all the mods that have been made to the website. What I am trying to achieve here, is having all the mods put into a child theme, so that I can update Salient, without fear of losing anything.
I’m missing something I think here, can you explain please? (Also sent to you via email)
Thank you, Rav
Hey Rav,
You’ll need to now use git (or your favorite version control software) to compare your modified version of the theme to the original version which I sent. You can then get a full list of changes and begin to move them to a child theme. Unfortunately there’s no automatic way to do that, which is why core themes should not be modified when possible.
Ah, okay I understand the process now. Thank you for this, I’m confident, we’ll be able to transfer the modifications to a child theme and then safely update the core to the latest level
Cheers, Rav
You’re welcome Rav 
Hey there, I’m using the plugin “Use Any Font” for using a custom font, but it’s only showing up in Safari, no other browser is showing it.
Would you happen to know why this could be happening?
Thank you
Hey thomasmkl,
If it’s rendering differently in specific browsers, it could be an issue with the font file itself. Have you verified that the issue is only occurring when Salient is the active theme?
Hi, having a few issues with the secondary header, for some reason on mobile the text is not centered, its positioned more to the left, Is it possible to have CSS to fix this, thanks.
Hey Joshuats,
please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look to assist.
Thanks in advance
Is there a way I can reply privately? thanks

A Lot of the back-end formatting has dissapeard and elements misaligned on our website: https://thyroiddoctortampa.com/thyroid-doctors-tampa/ for example the doctors elements switch to 1 small item that you cant even see it – and on the backend its all one big block…how do we resolve this?
Hey clowd24,
Could you 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
For correcting the specific issue of the carousel of that page, you can add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .carousel-outer {
width: 100%;
}
Thanks in advance
unfortunately, this code snippet didn’t work, but i will put a ticket in…
Hey clowd24, I took a look at your ticket earlier today.
Thanks 
The mobile navigation doesn’t show the dropdown links correctly – no matter what settings we change in the theme panel
Please can you advise how to make the dropdowns expand on click
Hey DigileadsZa, if you can share your URL I’d be glad to take a look and assist.
Thanks
Thanks – Its sitting on our dev server: http://itsintegrator-dev.com.dedi1234.jnb1.host-h.net/
Thanks DigileadsZa,
The mobile menu duplicates the menu items from the header navigation with JS, since you have custom CSS which is targeting the main nav and altering the display, it’s also removing the default mobile navigation. Currently, you have a menu assigned to the off canvas as a widget, which will not provide the dropdown functionality. You need to alter your CSS to target only items in the header, and also remove your menu widget from the off canvas location to see the default Salient functionality.
The CSS i’m referring to is:
#mega-menu-wrap-top_nav,
#mega-menu-wrap-top_nav #mega-menu-top_nav ..ect. {
}
#mega-menu-wrap-top_nav #mega-menu-top_nav li.mega-hide-on-mobile .. etc {
}
It will need to be changed to:
#header-outer #mega-menu-wrap-top_nav,
#header-outer #mega-menu-wrap-top_nav #mega-menu-top_nav ..ect. {
}
#header-outer #mega-menu-wrap-top_nav #mega-menu-top_nav li.mega-hide-on-mobile .. etc {
}
I have a issue with displaying links on my website.
I added hyperlinks to some texts but they aren’t visible as hyperlinks instead they are having no effect and shown as a plain text. But they are clickable.
Hey gorangagrawal5,
Please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look to assist.
Thanks in advance
Thanks gorangagrawal5,
Anchors will inherit the accent color defined in the theme settings. Since your accent color is the same as your body text color, you can make it a different color by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body a {
color: #3555ff;
}
Worked! Thanks
Glad I could help, gorangagrawal5 
Hi, I’ve updated support for 6 months as it’s expired but tells me it’s still expired.
Hey DaveThomasCo,
Ticksy can take up to an hour for the new license to propagate. Are you still having trouble posting?
