How do I know what the latest version of Salient is? Didn’t you use to publish the version number and version histroy?
Hey CustomerVoice, We still keep an active change log: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html Which is linked the documentation: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient
Cheers
Do you have a suggestion to designing email templates in salient? The default woocommerce email template and customization option is very bad and third party ones are equally lame. If you could provide steps or features to allow customized email templates, that would be a really huge feature in my opinion.
Hey ehong33234,
Unfortunately there’s no functionality built into the theme for that as of now. I’ve noted your idea on the wishlist though 
Cheers
Please can someone show me how to make a basic easy image slider with thumbnail navigation
Hey JackySeery,
Salient does not include an option for a slider with thumbnail navigation. You would need use a plugin to accomplish that: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-carousel/Thanks, but I cannot see how to purchase the plug in you suggest on the link provided. This just takes me back to the full Salient licence page. Thanks
Hey JackySeery,
The link I provided was just to show you the carousel options that Salient includes – there are many third party plugins for image galleries, but we don’t have a specific one to recommend
Hello. I am interested in purchasing your theme, but I have question first. Will I be able to import demo site/content, and update it using WPbakery page builder? I assumed this is standard feature for all themes using WPbakery, but I am finding out some themes do not allow this because their demo sites weren’t created using WPbakery. Please let me know. Thank you.
Hey 8plus9,
Yes, the demos shown online are all made using the Salient WPbakery page builder and are available to import via the demo importer plugin.
Cheers
How can I add a “Custom Post Type” in the “Post Grid” tool
Hey ziccia, That would require modifying the post grid template file via a child theme as of now: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/
In the future we will be creating a filter to make this easier.
Cheers
Regarding the Portfolio element, is there an option to style the thumbnail element. More specifically, can the grey “card” color be changed to white? If not, no worries.
See link below for an example of what I’m referring to: https://www.dropbox.com/s/our9boook34slc8/Photo%20May%2023%2C%203%2015%2007%20PM.jpg?dl=0
Hey arteest,
Can you please share your actual URL in regards so that I can assist?
Cheers
Sure. You can find it here: https://bit.ly/3gomhEj
Overlook the mess. The site is still a work in progress and about a week from completion.
Thanks arteest
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .portfolio-items .col {
background-color: transparent;
}
And is their a way to add a soft under-construction page until the site is built?
Hey gorangagrawal5, Salient doesn’t have that built in as there are many free popular plugins that offer that such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/coming-soon/
Cheers

Hey gorangagrawal5,
Are you updating by using the Envato Market plugin or another method? Does the update go through after that message is displayed, or do you have to manually amend it afterwards?
I went to Appearance > Themes > Salient > Update
Hey also I have WordFence installed with Firewall in learning mode but still I am not able to edit pages in Front End Editor mode! Previously on learning mode I was able to do it…
Hey gorangagrawal5,
1. For the next update can you try one of the alternative methods and see if the error still occurs for you? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#methods 2. Does the editor load when you disable WordFence? I would need to see the error occur in order to help troubleshoot it. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards with temporary admin access: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectarThanks
1. Method 1 I tried updating from Envato, and it just says updating, after a while, I get an error.
There has been a critical error
Method 2 & 3 Works! As I have to do it manually.
2. Yes, I tried disabling Wordfence, tried editing a page, and it works!
I will contact you
Sounds good gorangagrawal5
Hey! Can I center the logo on the mobile in any way? I want the search icon on the left, the logo centered and the menu on the right.
Hey AlexanderMJ,
You can use the following CSS in regards:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer[data-has-menu=true] #top .span_3 {
width: auto;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
z-index: 9000;
}
#header-outer .mobile-search {
float: left;
}
#header-outer .row .col.span_9 {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
Cheers
Hi and thanks! I tested, it first seemed to work. But on the mobile, the logo jumps to the left as soon as you press it. And the logo is not linked to the homepage anymore?
Hey AlexanderMJ, can you please share your URL in regards?
Thanks
Thanks,
I’m not seeing the snippet active in your setup – could you please add it back in and regenerate your minified/cached css?
Also, the correct the logo link issue, the z-index would need to be changed to be higher. Here’s an updated version:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer[data-has-menu=true] #top .span_3 {
width: auto;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
z-index: 90000;
}
#header-outer .mobile-search {
float: left;
}
#header-outer .row .col.span_9 {
width: 100%!important;
}
}
It is now live. Please check this out pretty quickly as I do not want a page that looks broken Thanks again for all the help, it is really extremely appreciated.
Hey, try to explicitly set the width instead of making it “auto” in this segment:
#header-outer[data-has-menu=true] #top .span_3 {
width: 120px;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
z-index: 90000;
}
Hello again! Now we are close! The logo is good now. But now you have to press the menu twice for something to happen. I’m so sorry to have to bother you.
I just saw that I get side scrolling also on posts.
Hey AlexanderMJ, Before you removed the snippet again I was unable to replicate the issue. What device and browser version are you experiencing the double click in?
Hi team Salient.
How do I translate manually the text in portfolio navigation “previous project” and “next project”??? I searched po/mo files in
wp-content > themes > salient > lang
But I did not find anything. Will you tell me please the correct path cause I didn´t like to install a translation plugin for 2 simple terms.
Thx and regards.
Hey born-design,
Those strings are located in the ‘salient-portfolio’ text domain – the .pot file for that is located at wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/languages
Cheers
Whaoo, thx a lot for prompt answering. Salient rules!
Sorry 4 bothering you again, sth. is wrong:
I created po-Files in de_DE and en_EN and inserted here:
/wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/languages
but it did not work. What i am doing wrong?
Thx again and regards.
Hey born-design, You need to place the plugin text domain before the language code on the .po/.mo like so:
salient-portfolio-de_DE.po
Cheers
Hello Phil,
In Recent Post > Multiple Larged Featured: translation of the button “Read Article” in the PO file is missing. Can you correct that! thanks
Hey RV73
That string is located in the ‘salient-core’ text domain – the .pot file for that is located at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/languages
http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/#text-domainsCheers
Hey, Lol that’s right, i didn’t think about this file Thanks! Cheers 
You’re welcome RV73
Hello,
Highly interested in this theme.
Just wanted to if we can:
1. Add a contact form on the homepage (name, contact number, email, message) to book a call or something like that.
2. Add a call to action with a phone number, so that if a customer clicks on the button, he/she is directly taken to the phone dialer with the number copied?
Thank You
Hey karanbhagat,
1. Salient doesn’t have its own form system, but works and provides styling for popular form plugins such as Contact form 7, Gravity forms etc. You can place instances of those anywhere you desire through the page builder
2. You can use the regular HTML tel: protocol to have that functionality. So when entering your number in a link, you prepend it with tel: like so tel:123-456-7890
Cheers
Error displaying images from gallery: Look the second and third picture in this url: https://imgur.com/a/GUrCfz6 that’s what I see the gallery from firefox (windows), chrome (windows) and chrome (mac / apple), all different users.
url with issue: https://demo.segurihost.com/masai/portfolio/loto/If you can’t reproduce the error, please reload the page 1, 2 or 3 times. sometimes it breaks
Hey segurihost,
It looks like that issue might be occurring due to some third party lazy loading you have active. The image gallery would need to be excluded from that in order to calculate correctly. Can you please try and deactivate that for testing?
Hi there, grerat theme, we have used it many times.
We can’t seem to find a solution to restrict the length of an excerpt is its been put in manually. Do you have a script for this? WE want to still put in manual excerpts but have the option to restrict the words to 15.
Thanks
Hey Lucas-media,
Add this into your child theme functions.php file
add_filter( 'wp_trim_excerpt', 'salient_child_filter_wp_trim_excerpt', 10, 2 );
function salient_child_filter_wp_trim_excerpt( $text, $raw_excerpt ) {
$trimmed_text = wp_trim_words($text, 10, '...');
return $trimmed_text;
}
Hey there, perfect, works a charm. Exactly what were looking for!
Glad I could help, Lucas-media
Hello,
Sorry for my english…
I purchased Salient today. I trying to insert a video background on my home page (like Salient eCommerce Creative demo, in background with the title “The New Summer Look”), but my it doesn’t work…
Thanks
I imported the demo, but no video is displayed. Not even the Youtube links already inserted.
Hey LFB_Productions,
Please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look at the setup.
Thanks in advance
Feature Request: The Ability to Duplicate a Nectar Slide.
If you can’t tell, I’m hard at work cranking out a new design with Salient. You’ll have to check it out when it drops in a few days.
Hey arteest, Sounds good
Cheers
Hi TN,
I’ve got a string of characters in the Nectar slider that I don’t ever want to have split over different lines (which can happen on smaller screen sizes).
At the moment I’m using the following, and HTML has worked in previous versions of Salient, but it seems to be stripping it now and I’m not sure if that’s on the Wordpress side or Salient’s.
Word
Many thanks, hope there’s a easy solution!
Hi again, I just realized my comment doesn’t actually show the HTML Here you go:
<span style="white-space:nowrap;">Word</span>
It seems to be kicking out the white space rule
Hey ND81,
Could you kindly share the URL so that I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Sorry for the late response; I fixed it – simply pushed the whole sentence the Asian characters of note were on into a new line. It seems shortcodes etc. work fine, but seems to be thrown out, so likely a Wordpress core issue.
Thanks for getting back to me though!
You’re welcome ND81, I’m glad you were able to sort it
Hello guys, does anybody knows why the “My account” icon doesn’t show up on mobile? Its somethind that im missing? Maybe a hidden switch somewhere?!
Hey bogdan_stanciu!
It should display in your mobile navigation by default if you’re using a relatively recent release of Salient. Could you kindly share your URL in regards so that I can take a look to assist?
Thanks
sure, https://undress.world
Thanks bogdan_stanciu,
It looks like you’re on a fairly old release. You would need to update in order to get that change without having to do some custom modding. If you do want to update, please check out the following article before doing so: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/
Cheers
Ok, ill do that! Manny thanks XOXO
You’re welcome bogdan_stanciu
Is it possible to have navigation transparency turned off when activating fullscreen rows?
Hey Liyte
Yes, you can use the normal option “Disable Transparency From Navigation” to remove the transparent effect. If you’re using an older release of Salient,
you’ll need to update to the current version (12.1.0), as there was a bug in the past that prevented that option from taking effect.
Cheers
Hi just tried updating the theme and salient core plugin to latest version, getting this error.
Version 1.6 | By ThemeNectar | Visit plugin site This plugin failed to load properly and is paused during recovery mode.
An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 136 of the file /plugins/salient-core/plugin.php. Error message: require_once(): Failed opening required ’/plugins/salient-core/includes/post-grid/post-grid.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear’)
Hey sherissar, The post-grid.php file that the error is mentioning doesn’t exist, is a core file of the plugin. It seems like the pluign update failed to extract all of the plugin files. Please try to delete the Salient Core Plugin entirely and reinstall it. If you’re still getting that error, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
