Pre-sale question:
1. Is there a way to check out the back-end? To see if it really is userfirnely to use? 2. Are there also demo’s that are not just one page? (not interested in shop part btw)
Hey illgraffdesign,
1. There’s no backend demo. If you’ve used WPBakery before, it’s similar but offers a tailored UI with enhanced ease of use.
2. Yes, there are. Here are some examples:

Ok thx for the update.
You’re welcome illgraffdesign
Hello, menu on my website on 13 macbook pro looks little bit broken, please check screen: https://ibb.co/XD5S5RY ,how to fix it ? https://adamkocian.com/ , thank you 
Hey martin967,
You would need to alter the font sizing with CSS as it appears you’re already currently doing with the snippet
@media only screen and (max-width: 1400px) {
#header-outer[data-lhe] #top nav > ul > li > a {
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0 12px;
}
}
or you could adjust the mobile break point for the header in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab.
Cheers
In my Top Navigation menu I have styled one of the menu items as a button. However, the button isn’t present on mobile. It just looks like the rest of the menu items (links) in the mobile menu. Any css snip to retain the button style on mobile?
Hey taylormayd,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#slide-out-widget-area .off-canvas-menu-container li[class*=button] a {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
padding: 10px 20px!important;
}
Beautiful! Thanks!
You’re welcome taylormayd
Where is the Pixel Perfection One Page demo? It isn’t in your demo list on the system settings in the manager. That is why I purchased this theme. You advertise it as a demo. Can you PLEASE send me file or whatever I need to get that! Thank you.
This one…. http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-one-page/
This is why I purchased this theme. Please tell me how to get the information for this theme. Thank you.
Hey kmg777,
That demo is still included in the demo importer: https://ibb.co/nmzSjBP If you’re not seeing that on your end, Please open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so that we can take a closer look into this: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
Hi! I’m really impressed of your theme! I’m definitely interested to buy it. I have a couple questions if you don’t mind before the purchase:
1. Do I need to buy the page builder (WPBakery – as I see it’s paid plugin) to customize your theme? 2. Am I able to combine features from different demos? 3. Am I able to pick one version of the navigation menu from the demos and apply it for each one page (footer as well)? 4. After clicking the “Account” icon in the nav menu I do not see the Registration button. Is there an option to register an account? 5. Is there an Instagram Feed section? 6. Am I able to customize the sidebars (take one style of Categories to another sidebar)? 7. Is there possibilities to pick contact form and place it on the page?
I love your work! For any response, thank you!
Hey DannysVibe, thanks for your kinds words!
1. No, a Salient specific version is included for free.
2. Yes, the included Salient Studio plugin makes mixing sections from various demos easy:
3. The header navigation styling is a global setting. You can match it to any of the demos shown, however you can not switch it to a new style per page without custom modding.
4. The account icon link can be set to any URL via the theme options. For the ecommerce demo, we’ve just set it to go the default WooCommerce account page. And yes, in WooCommerce you can configure that page to also have a registration tab.
5. No Instagram integration is included by default. You would need to use a plugin for that.
6. The sidebar area in Salient is a standard widget area.
7. Salient provides form styling, but doesn’t have a form system built directly in. For the demos, we’ve used contact form 7. It can be placed anywhere via the page builder: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/contact-form-columns/Cheers
I will update the comment soon.
Wow! Thank you for a quick response. I wanted to answer yesterday but I spent a little more time checking your product. I’m a designer but without coding experience (just a CSS a little to customize the elements if I need to) and that’s why I have so many questions (I had kind of bad experience with purchasing a theme before). Your theme looks like perfect fit for what I want to do.
1. If I can go back to the question about the Sidebar – What did you mean by saying “Standard Widget Area”? On demo, I saw a couple styles of sidebars like one with search bar and recent post (with no thumbnail) and the other one have no search bar but the recent post section have an amazing stunning thumbnails. Is it possible to combine them?
2. Search Bar – The result worked great. The question is, if I would pick one style of the posts on the Blog Page, is it possible to set the Search Result in the same style? (it would be so cool to just pick an option in the Salient builder).
3. Hero Section – video background (Salient Wellness) – I have the experience with implementing a video as a background using Youtube and Vimeo. The problem is that Youtube doesn’t support it anymore as I know. With Vimeo I had a problem that to have no logo (Vimeo) I have to pay to upgrade my account. I would love to set a video background where is just clean, elegant video without any youtube/vimeo branding, no play buttons etc. without paying extra money anywhere. How does it work with your theme?
4. Buttons/CTA’s – if there is a section with parallax and simple header, text, button, will I be able to pick the style of the button? I really like the one with just a simple text and there appears an arrow as a hover instead the regular attached button to that section.
5. Newsletter – I didn’t find any examples in your demos. It’s fine, just wanted to ask to make sure. I will figure it out.
6. Blog – if you can tell me to make sure – so basically if I would want to style Blog page, I would pick the style of the header, style of the posts, and eventually sidebar/no sidebar yes? For the Posts page as well?
Thank you for your work! Hopefully, I will make a beautiful product with your theme!
Hey DannysVibe
1. Yes, any widgets you’ve seen in the sidebar demos can be mixed and matched through the Appearance > Widgets section.
2. The search result styling is unique to the search itself and doesn’t match any of the blog or portfolio styles. The two search styling options are a simple masonry grid like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-magazine/?s=lorem or a list: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/?s=shirt3. A Youtube option is built in (provided by default in the WPbakery page builder). However, in Salient there is an option to use a self hosted video (mp4/webm) as well. The self hosted option is recommended since it’s the higher performing option and also allows mobile playback.
4. Yes, you can change the button style in the page builder element to any shown on the demos
5. Similar to my last response for #7 – There’s no newsletter built in, but Salient will provide styling for third party forms
6. Yes, in the Salient options panel there is an option for the blog header styling, the option for using a sidebar on blog pages and the overall styling of the blog archive pages.
Cheers
Thank you for quick response!
Before, I asked about the WPBakery Page builder and you answered “No, a Salient specific version is included for free.” What did you mean by saying “specific”? In your documentation I could find :
” The required plugins are the Salient WPBakery Page Builder and the Salient Core.”
“Salient comes with a highly tailored version of the most popular page builder on the market, WPBakery Page Builder (formerly known as Visual Composer). It includes many new and exciting elements and a stylish overhauled user interface. Missing installing this plugin will result in seeing mass chunks of shortcodes after importing a demo.”
After reading this it sounds like I will not get the same result as I can see on the demos until I will not pay for the WPBakery Page Builder. What I expected from your product is what I can see on your demos without paying for additional plugins. Please let me know, if I understood wrong.
Hey DannysVibe,
The WPBakery page builder included with Salient is a customized version, only available for Salient. It’s modified with a new element set and UI. Using the raw WPBakery page builder (the one sold separately) is not recommended.
Hello,
Can I change blog’s featured Image size which show on mobile? I want to show 1:1 size image. And I use standard blog/classic.
Hey tinaaa071,
Since the featured image in that style is not set as a background image, modifying it would require a css hack. Here’s an example you can add into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.post-area .has-post-thumbnail .classic .post-featured-img {
padding-bottom: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
.post-area .has-post-thumbnail .classic .post-featured-img img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: -50%;
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
}
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I’ve tried the code. But it didn’t work:(
Hey, could you kindly share your URL in regards so that I can take a look?
Thanks tinaaa071,
For that blog style, you’ll need to use the following CSS instead:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
.post-area.featured_img_left .article-content-wrap .post-featured-img-wrap {
height: 300px;
}
}
Cheers
Thank you!
It work! You’re amazing:)
You’re welcome tinaaa071
hi, I would like to know how I can make a template for the project-type file page? thanks
Hey thaisvilanova,
You can copy the taxonomy-project=type.php file from the plugin (salient-portfolio/includes/frontend) into your child theme.
Cheers
hi! thanks a lot. It worked.
Glad I could help thaisvilanova
Hey, great theme, quick question on the hotspot tooltip. I have it implemented in this example – http://www.studiohype.co.uk/stm/products/rnp-pam/ – if you click on no.1 or no.9 you then can’t open the tooltip on no.7? Any ideas why this is happening? Plan to purchase this again but need to understand how to fix this. Thanks
Hey HypeStudios,
You can alter that by adding this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.nectar_image_with_hotspots .nectar_hotspot_wrap {
pointer-events: none;
}
.nectar_image_with_hotspots .nectar_hotspot_wrap .nectar_hotspot {
pointer-events: all;
}
Cheers
Hi Nectar is there a way to change Morphing Outline to hexagon?
Hey F5Creative,
The circle/square hover effect is achieved by animating the css border-radius property. Therefore, it can only alternate between those two shapes easily.
Hey guys.. i know i am out of my support. I still hope you can help me out. Not a big question anway.. I just cant figure out how these guys created this animated text effect in their Salient header ( https://cubicleninjas.com/ ). I am searching for hours now. Maybe it is just an other plugin. I thought i was close and that it works in the split line heading. If you can point me a way i am more than happy. If you cant or want to because i am out of support, i understand. Thanks for advance!
Hey roykorpel!
That effect is added through some customization they’ve done in a child theme. Unfortunately there’s no built-in element that provides that.
Thank you that you are so kind to answer. And save me a lot of time to figure out how they did this in Salient
Glad I could help out, roykorpel
On the iPhone, when you tap once on the product, you don’t go to the store, an animation appears.
Is it possible to disable this animation on Mobile and go straight to the product?
Hey ofmarconi, in addition to the snippet I provided earlier, you would also need to add the following:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#ajax-content-wrap .products li.product.minimal:hover .product-add-to-cart a {
transition: none;
opacity: 0;
transform: none;
}
}
Hi, my Vimeo videos in Portfolio have lost the full screen button option which they all display in Safari and Firefox (haven’t checked IE). This is only with Video Player short-code and Video Lightbox works fine. Have you come across this issue? Thanks
Hey b1b, Try switching to the “Magnific” option for your “Theme Lightbox” in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab
Hi, I did it but no difference in Chrome, Safari as was but now all videos that were inserted via video lightbox are not playing because: The embed code for this video is not valid https://www.galadigital.uk/portfolio/staunch-book-prize-trailers/ I’ve reinserted them but the problem persist. This is truly bizarre. Rgds Beata
PS This issue on only shows on desktops and potables – mobile devices seem fine. Except that Magnific Lightbox still doesn’t work.
Hey Beata,
Checking out your URL, it looks like you’re using URLs such as https://vimeo.com/romanowski/bad-date instead of the raw ID based URL https://vimeo.com/252227312 , when I added in the raw ID URL locally, I’m seeing the following: https://ibb.co/NCD75ndCan you verify the videos are set to be publicly embedded?
Hi, just changed the URLs (had them like that before) and it doesn’t make any difference. The videos are set to play on specific sites only – so they can’t be publicly embedded. I just reverted to Fancybox3 and as you can see the video popups work fine.
PS but still no full screen available in chrome on desktop. 
PS PS When I add video and preview page I can see all video controls. Once I log out from admin panel the full screen function disappears.
Hey Beata,
One more thing to try – I can see that the video is being lazy loaded from one of your third party plugins. Can you try to deactivate that feature?
Hey there,
I am running a review site with salient as the theme. I’m using a review plugin that has a star rating system. This plugin uses shortcodes to display the stars where I want.
I would like to display them on thumbnail image for certain post categories. How can I do this? Where should I add the short code?
Thank you and looking forward to your response.
Hey will_brett,
The output functions for each of the available product styles exist in salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php. They’re named according to the style:
nectar_product_thumbnail_minimal, nectar_product_thumbnail_material etc. and can be copied into a child theme for modifications.
Cheers
Thank you but my question is related to blog posts not shop items.
I’ve managed to solve the issue for some of the blog posts by editing the blog partial scripts however I can’t seem to find how to do the same for things like the nectar recent post slider or feature blog posts that are on the homepage:
https://onetrackmind.bike/You can see it working for other types on this page (The review stars)
https://onetrackmind.bike/category/reviews/product-review/How do I do the same for the home page? Where are the scripts located I just can’t seem to find them.
Thanks
W
Hey will_brett,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The output for the various recent post styles exists within the salient-core plugin at content/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates/recent-posts.php If you wish to keep the modification in a child theme, check out the docs here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/
Cheers
Does anyone know if this is Woocommerce 4.2 compatible please?
Hey tech-tonic,
Yes, Salient is compatible with WooCommerce 4.2. Just ensure that you’re using a current release of the theme.
Cheers
Thanks!
You’re welcome tech-tonic
Hello Team Nectar!
The Scrolling Speed of the new Scrolling Text is even on “slow” a little bit to fast. How can i make it a slower?
Thanks in advance.
Hey Cartman66!
Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-scrolling-text[data-s-speed] .nectar-scrolling-text-inner > * {
animation-duration: 25s;
}
Great! Thanks mate!
You’re welcome Cartman66
Hi, I need to translate “Divider”, “Fancy Unordered List”, “Split Line Heading”... from JS Composer Salient. Where I can find the POT? I tried with “salient-shortcodes.pot” but it didn’t work and some terms were missing. Thanks.
Hey mayelle,
Those strings should be in the salient-core plugin .pot located at wp-content/plugins/salient-core/languages. I just verified that specifically the divider element title is not currently in there as it should be though (the others you mentioned are). If you would like a pre-release version of the plugin which contains that string, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Hey there—I am having some trouble with page speed and performance using the theme. I have recently upgraded to a non shared hosting account and only seeing minimal difference. I also have installed w3 total cache plugin and using some default settings. Are you able to take a look to see why I’m only able to barely score average to poor?
Here’s a test page on a shared hosting account without w3 cache plugin https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.whydontyouknowthis.com/1tVfALWu
Here is a test of the same page on a dedicated hosting account using the w3 cache plugin with default settings https://gtmetrix.com/reports/dev.whydontyouknowthis.com/dZQAt1ct (just FYI I have not installed SSL yet on this one because I’m using it as a staging site for now testing)
Any thoughts?
Hey JayCarver,
You need to enable the minification option within W3 total cache as well, as it’s not turned on by default (general settings > minify > enable). Once enabled, visit the front of your site, and allow up 30 seconds or so for your server to generate the new files.
Also, it looks like the largest script being loaded by a good deal on your site is an external call to YouTube embed player: https://www.youtube.com/s/player/16a691a1/player_ias.vflset/en_US/base.js Since you have a YouTube video posted in the sidebar that loads on every post, you may want to change that to not be a direct embed. You could instead copy and paste a raw nectar video lightbox shortcode into a Custom HTML widget. This method will only load the video when the user clicks on it (and provide a better playing experience): https://pastebin.com/WRAhWkMF
Hello
On the store page, is it possible to use the same style on the products, just deactivating this animated shift to the front and sides?
https://i.imgur.com/n55Cj2h.pngHey ofmarconi,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body .products li.product.minimal .background-color-expand {
display: none;
}
body .products li.product.minimal.hover-bound:hover,
body .products li.product.minimal.hover-bound:hover .product-meta {
transform:none;
}

Hi ThemeNectar
in the mini-cart, the styles css have broken at the product list https://share.getcloudapp.com/wbuWrxvD
can you check it please?
https://freshfoodmsc.ru/menu-8kg/?add-to-cart=837Hey Dilik,
The product images in the mini cart are usually wrapped in a link – in your setup, it appears that link is removed which is altering the styles. Are you doing that intentionally? If so, you can add the following CSS to correct the styles:
body .nectar-slide-in-cart .widget_shopping_cart .cart_list img {
width: 75px;
height: auto;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
float: none;
}
Yes, it was intentionally. Thank you very much
You’re welcome Dilik
Hello, I had a similar issue to some of the other users regarding only one of my pages shows the old instagram logo in the header. There was no solution posted is there one? Thank you.
Hey BradleyGrif, have you already verified that no third party plugins you have active are causing that? If so, please share the page URL in regards so that I can take a look.
Thanks in advance
As far as I’m aware the plugins are not, I put a ticket in a while ago regarding this and the issue disappeared for no reason www.omiglass.co.uk Thank you for your response.
Hey BradleyGrif, I’m sorry to hear that we failed to assist you earlier with this.
I just took a look at the site and can see that it seems to be ninja forms that’s loading an alternative copy of font awesome. Can you verify this is the case by either temporarily deactivating the plugin or using their plugin option to disable “opinionated styles”?
https://cdn.statically.io/img/s8754.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.28.53-PM-800x501.png?quality=70Thanks in advance
Thank you very much, it worked! I appreciate your reply and time.
Glad I could help out BradleyGrif
Cheers
Hey BradleyGrif,
Envato has recently reached out to me in regards to an issue you’ve been facing. I initially assumed it was related to this (the ninja form font awesome conflict), but from their email it sounded like you were still seeking assistance with something else.
Could you kindly clarify what issue you’re facing?
Thanks in advance
