Hi, for some reason the font I selected is sans but it shows up as serif on Chrome browser. URL: https://tinyurl.com/y2ndudpu
Hey djb19,
I’m not seeing the font being enqueued on your site from Google as it should be. Are you able to change the font to something else to get it to display correctly? If you’ve verified that this issue is not related to a third party plugin, please reach out in regards via the support forum or email.
Thanks,
Hey djb19,
The 404 page that URL is showing is leaving WordPress and being handled by your server directly – the WordPress 404 looks like the following: https://tinyurl.com/y3a8agxp I would contact your hosting company in regards if you’re unaware of anything that would be causing that in your setup.
Cheers
HI. Is there an ETA for the next release? Excited for menu update 
Hey timtimtim!
There’s no hard date yet (it’s a very big update so time is being taken carefully) If you’d like to explore it early, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Is there any way to display the portfolio item’s title on hover instead of having it all the time over the thumbnail?
Never mind! Just found it here. Thanks anyway.
Hey Mindthemix, I’m glad to hear you found what you were looking for 
Hi ThemeNectar,
Amazing theme as always. Salient by far is the best out there.
https://www.dev-evermaven.com/ccnetglobal/news-events/Question, if you can visit the link above where I have my recent posts displayed, is there a lay to have a ‘Load more’ button or load more on scroll. I have over 100 posts and ideally don’t want to have to list them all at once.
Thanks for your help.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan!
Yes, you can use the new “Post grid” element for that. It has the option for a “load more” button http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/dynamic-post-grid/

Please provide a label for all the checkbox options in your forked version of WPBakery PageBuilder. There are many, many third-party extensions that you broke overnight by globally changing all checkbox options to ON :: OFF toggle switches without labels. The checkboxes were not toggles when we originally purchased the theme.
The official WPBakery documentation allows an array of checkboxes under a single param, so those need to be labeled in the editor. It’s great that the builder looks nice, but that’s worthless if there are no labels for each and every nested checkbox/toggle. This “feature” dramatically limits the dynamic potential of Salient by cutting off a huge portion of WPBakery’s large third-party plugin contributors.
Hey phvntom,
Thanks for noting this – the next release will include a compatibility fix for that aspect of third party extensions which make use of checkbox arrays. If you’d like to get the fix early, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Hi.
ANother feature request would be more styles for the menu, especially drop down. (Megamenu), etc.

Thank you for considering.
Hey timtimtim, the next release will be including new menu options

Hey pcaron01,
Have you tried to disable third party plugins yet to see if any are causing the issue? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hello dear ThemeNectar,
When the cart is empty, there is a “return to shop” button. How can we change the link of that button?
Thank you

Hey Omer,
The function which outputs that is called “nectar_page_header” and is located in salient/nectar/helpers/page-header.php
Hi, I’m a developer and a new client has come to me with problems with his website which is built with Salient. It is an old version 8.5.3 and doesn’t work properly since a recent WordPress update. The previous developer has gone out of business, and we can’t trace the license details. So quite happy to buy a new copy of the theme, just want to know if it will be straightforward to update and what would be the best method? Thanks Adrian
Hey onfilm,
The update process is straightforward as long as you’re not using a child theme with template customizations. In that case, those will need to be updated to reflect the current versions. When you update, take a look through this guide as it applies to the versions you’re changing between: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/Cheers
Hi, thanks for the reply – theme bought and website updated – http://claykilncraft.com/ Just a quick question, the site did have quite a customised header.php in the child theme, and the menu didn’t work properly after the update. I’ve taken that out for now, and we may just use an option from the new theme. My preferred Off Canvas Menu option is ‘slide out from right hover triggered’ but how do you make it close again if you decide not to click on a menu item?
Hey onfilm,
By default the “slide out from right hover triggered” off canvas style should close when moving the mouse away from it, and on mobile, there should be a “close (x)” button in the top corner. If you’re not seeing that behavior, please share the URL in regards so that I can take a look. Thanks,
Hey onfilm,
1. I just tested the URL on mobile and am able to close the menu by clicking on the menu icon in the top corner: https://ibb.co/t2jh3t0 can you confirm that’s not working for you, and if so what device are you testing with?2. I haven’t heard of that issue before. Have you tried to disable your third party plugins to see if one of them is indeed causing the problem?
Hi, 1. Yes it’s ok on a mobile, but on a tablet or desktop there is no icon to click to close the menu, and clicking off the menu does nothing. Tested on laptop, tablet, desktop, Firefox, Chrome and Edge. 2. It was a long shot! Yes disabling plugins was the first thing I tried. I may have to just edit the wp-config file, but it’s not ideal. Thanks
Hey onfilm, I see the issue now – I didn’t see that you had a custom mobile breakpoint set. This is a confirmed issue with that OCM style when within the bounds of the custom mobile breakpoint. Roughly between 1400px – 1000px in your setup.
If you’d like an early fix before the next release, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks for the reply, I’ll message via the contact form. (The other issue with updating wordpress is fixed, I found some old code that was interfering.)
Glad to hear, onfilm 
Hi, did you get my message via the contact form about the fix you mentioned, and also a query about the header styling? Thanks.
Hey onfilm,
The change that was in the beta version I sent you is not a part of the current live release (12.1.6). Can you kindly update to the version I’ve provided via email so that I can take a look at the issue again?
Thanks in advance 
Hi, thanks for the reply. Is the beta version ok to use with wordpress 5.6 as I have upgraded now. Thanks
Hey onfilm,
Yes, the beta is compatible with WP 5.6.
Hello, I want to make the post pages the same width as the normal pages. How can I adjust that? In the options I can set the width to a maximum of 1000px, but it should go to 1425px.
I would be very grateful for your support!
Greetings from Germany Nenad
Hey Nenad,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:

Hi Theme Nectar,
Mobile Only How to make the secondary header Full Width, Centered and Change the font size ?
Hey maurinoloureiro,
Can you please share your URL so that I can take a look at your current settings to better assist?
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to use a shortcode in the navigation-custom-link? We’re using a currency switcher and I need to place it in the menu, like a menu item. But this plugin only works on shortcodes…
If not, will it work wright with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-in-menus/
Thanks for your help!
Hey CuracaoExclusive!
As of now it would be easiest to copy the function “nectar_header_button_items” from salient/nectar/helpers/header.php into a child theme to output the shortcode directly. Inside that you can use the WP function do_shortcode to render any shortcode. e.g.
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]');
?>
Cheers
Would be great to adjust/add more footer columns then 4. Would love to be able to choose 5, 6, 7, 8 columns for footer. Any way to do so? Thanks.
Hey timtimtim, I’ve noted the idea in regards 
Thank you.
If you’re looking for ideas for the next Salient version, a WC checkout like this would be awesome – https://www.digital-dollar.store/

Hey Sean, thanks for sharing! 
Hi again,
For the portfolio pages. I have enabled “Single Project Nav Arrows Limited To Same Category” – however the portfolio pages do not loop. Is it possible to please make them loop within the same category?
Hey aglet,
There’s no option to enable a loop in the pagination. It would require custom development to the function “nectar_project_single_controls” in salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/helpers.php
If I like Elementor very much, and I need to use it on my website, don’t you recommend using it with this theme?
Can it get overwhelmed if it’s not optimized for Elementor?
Hey ofmarconi, You can use Elementor if desired, you just won’t be able to use the Salient page builder on those pages and thus not have access to the theme specific elements or templates. Salient would effectively only be handling the header navigation/footer area.
Hi, i have a problem with videobackgrounds. I want them to be full width, but it doesn’t seem to exist an option for that. My videos are 2400 (width) x 2200 (height) px. So why they are seem to be smaller when i see them on the web??
There are also problems on mobile. The backgrounds are misplaced. I’ve attached images. Thank you!
Additional information: The videos are on the website media.
https://dinamitacreativa.com/Hey FelipeCarne,
When taking a look at your page URL, i’m only seeing videos placed inside of columns such as here: https://ibb.co/ctz2MW0 If you want a video to be full width, you would need to change the parent row type to be “full width content” and have the video element be in a 1/1 column.
Alternatively you could set the video as a background on the row itself. When using video backgrounds, you need to supply the video in a 16:9 aspect ratio to ensure proper scaling on all devices.
Good day,
[1] Is it possible to have a mute button on any video options you have? So that a user can switch sound on and off a video. Either Nectar / home slider or video background?
[2] For the Off Canvas Menu option with “Dropdown Parent Link Toggles Submenu” – is it possible to have parent menu items have a down chervron/arrow icon?
Hey aglet,
1. Video backgrounds currently do not have the option to use sound as browsers will block the autoplaying of videos which have sound enabled. We recommend using a video lightbox link inside of a row which has the autoplaying video BG to trigger to full video with sound.
2. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#slide-out-widget-area .menuwrapper li.menu-item-has-children:after {
content: "\f107";
margin-left: 10px;
font-family: FontAwesome;
}
Thank you, unfortunately the code didnt work? http://urbo.agletonline.co.za/
Hey aglet,
For that style you’ll actually need to modify the snippet slightly:
#slide-out-widget-area li.menu-item-has-children > a:before {
content: "\f107";
margin-left: 10px;
font-family: FontAwesome;
float: right;
}
I am trying to get comments to appear on this page https://nawazalamgir.com/free-stuff/expressions/
but nothing is working, i have followed every guide and tutorial. can you assist?
Hey nawaz1983,
Comments are enabled by default on blog posts. I am seeing a facebook comment section at the bottom coming from a plugin on the URL you’ve shared. Are you unable to see that from your end?
If so, are you trying to get the default comment section from WordPress to appear instead?
Thank you for your reply, it was the facebook comment plugin that was taking over the wordpress comment section and thats why i could not see it. thank you for your assistance.
Glad that I could help, nawaz1983
