Hi team, Hope you are well.
Is it possible to have the Masonry Blog No sidebar Material Style feature/design with a Custom post type ? Thanks in advance and have a good one.
Hey timothemw,
I hope you’ve been doing good as well 
The blog styles are specific to the “Posts” post type, however the Post Grid element can now query for custom post types as of version 13. It would be easiest to use that as a base and then tweak it with CSS to get a close match to the material blog style.
Hi Team,
Well with the post grid element, the different elements of my grid are still aligned even with the masonry style (same height).
But with the Blog element (no sidebar material style like here : http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.18687545.1044610441.1624615890-1095139822.1619433003) every post has a different height and so the masonry style is different.
Is it possible to have that look with the post grid element ?
Thanks in advance
Hey timothemw,
Unfortunately, the post grid can’t achieve the traditional masonry staggered layout as CSS grid doesn’t offer that functionality yet. We built the post grid to not rely on JavaScript for computing the layout as that is the main bottleneck for performance.
I keep getting fatal errors, see below. Do you know what is causing thins?

Hey dzineee, the error is stating that an essential file is missing from your salient-core plugin – try to delete the plugin and then reinstall it. If you’re still seeing the error, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin access so that I can take a closer look.

Hey guys, when i add the Spotify social icon in the footer its about 10 px below the other icons
Hey rockzi,
Add this into the custom CSS box in the Salient options panel > General settings > CSS/Script related tab: to correct it before the upcoming minor release
#footer-outer .icon-salient-spotify {
vertical-align: top;
line-height: 20px;
}
please deactivate / remove my Salient Theme from https://fflogisticsllc.com if possible please. Thanks!
Hey ANewPretty,
Currently we don’t store a license specific to a domain which Salient is used on – you just need to legally own a license for each instance you deploy live. However, when switching domains you don’t need to deactivate/reactivate the license.
Kind regards,
Hey,
https://compagnie-m.com/blog/the-oversized-sweater/ http://upupweddings.com/katherine-tylers-wedding-film-atlanta-ga/How to achieve this kind of blog layout in salient?
Hey cherrygroup,
You can get that layout by adjusting your blog settings as follows in your Salient options panel > blog tag https://ibb.co/685hnn5
If there’s a specific aspect of those which you’re looking to achieve, kindly let me know so that I can point you in the right direction.
Kind regards,
Hey, Thank you for your reply.
Still its not exactly like this https://compagnie-m.com/blog/the-oversized-sweater/ http://upupweddings.com/katherine-tylers-wedding-film-atlanta-ga/I want to achieve the same layout as this websites have. The settings you showed still the featured image is in header if you see these blogs their featured image isn’t in header its separated Title then author name date then featured image
Hey cherrygroup,
In the Salient options > Blog tab, disable the option labeled “Single Post Header Inherits Featured Image” at the bottom.
Kind regards,
Hey, This options is disabling the complete featured image.
Still didn’t got a look like this https://compagnie-m.com/blog/the-oversized-sweater/ http://upupweddings.com/katherine-tylers-wedding-film-atlanta-ga/Hey cherrygroup,
Ensure that you’ve also disabled the option labeled “Hide Featured Media on Single Post” in the same tab
Hey
How do I hide the Category button that is visible on the blog header when Blog Header Type has been set to “Fullscreen with meta under”?
Thanks!
Hey alberteck,
You can add the following CSS snippet into the theme options > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.material #page-header-bg.fullscreen-header .inner-wrap >a,
.fullscreen-blog-header #single-below-header {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Hello, my friend. Please take a look at https://inthesameboat.org/. Is there a way to completely hide the top navigation until a user scrolls down? Kind of like is the case with the logo on the page? Thanks for your help.
Hey marcfest! You can achieve that by adding the following CSS into the custom css box in the Salient options > general settings > css/script related tab:
#header-outer.transparent {
opacity: 0;
}
Works like a charm. Thank you !
You’re welcome marcfest
Hey
Is it possible to configure the the blog’s “previous/next post” at the bottom of the single blog post page, such that only the next and the previous posts of the same category are shown?
For example: https://wordpress-475027-1967683.cloudwaysapps.com/archives/project-autonomous-food-delivery-robot/I have configured two categories, “Archives” and “Blog”, would it be possible to ensure that on “Blog” category posts, only previous and next from “Blog” category are shown and on “Archives” category posts, only previous and next from “Archives” category are shown
Thanks!
Hey albertect,
There’s currently no built-in option to achieve that, however I’ve noted to add a theme option for it in the next minor release If you’d like early access, please reach out via email via the contact form on my author page in regards

Hey!
I’ve been facing an issue with the Salient Portfolio Plugin.. I’m trying to get the portfolio to look like this demo: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-minimal-portfolio/
However, it isn’t cropping the images to the square grid sizes… URL: https://wordpress-475027-1967683.cloudwaysapps.com/projects/
In the plugin option, regardless of whether I enable or disable Bypass Image Cropping, the result remains same
Please let me know how I can fix this issue
Thanks!
Hey alberteck,
You’ll need to use the “featured image” upload instead of the custom thumbnail for your projects. The custom thumbnail option does not apply cropping and is there as an option for when you’re trying to bypass cropping on a per project basis.
Cheers
Hi, I want to enable both the sidebar menu as well as the header nav bar to create a dashboard-type application. I know this probably requires some custom implementation from my end, but can Can you let me know where I could make this change? Anything that can get me started as quickly as possible. Thanks!
Hey apinzon!
The left header navigation and top navigation use the same HTML markup with different CSS styling applied. Because of this, there’s no easy way to have them both be active at the same time. Unfortunately it’ll require custom development.
An easier approach would be to use the left header style and make use of the page submenu page builder element set to be sticky. You could then extend upon the page submenu element with CSS or modify the markup through a child theme by overriding the template for it: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/
Cheers
Hi, Thanks! Two questions:
1. Can you assist in that custom development?
2. Can you define/give me more information regarding what “left header style” and “page submenu page builder element” are?
Thanks!
Hey apinzon,
1. Unfortunately we’re not personally available for freelance work at this time – You can search for freelance developers on Envato Studio.
2. The “Left header” if a header navigation layout option in the Salient options panel: https://ibb.co/3k8jhC8 and the page submenu element is an element available inside of the page builder: https://ibb.co/2PmCd9B

Is there a way to add a drop shadow using css to a compare image element in Salient? Thank you.
Hey streetjen,
You can add a shadow to that element by adding the following custom CSS to the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.twentytwenty-wrapper {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px rgb(0, 0, 0, .5);
padding: 0;
}
Thank you!
Sorry to bug you, but I have put some html code into a raw html block but my rollover image isn’t working. I had a chat bot plugin turned off on this page (thinking it was the source of th problem) and it’s not.
Is my code correct? I copied the URLs from the media tab. Not sure what else to do.
I’m not able to paste the code 
ugh
Hey streetjen, I’m not sure which code you’re referring to – can you share the page URL where the custom code can be seen?
No worries streetjen
You need to change the code a little to be as follows: https://pastebin.com/Yynm6awD
I see my error! Thank you SO much!
Hey thanks again for helping me. You’re the best.
Glad that I could help, streetjen
Toggle doesn’t seem to close after opening? any help?
Hey JeremyPadilla,
Do you have the option for “Accordion Toggles” enabled? If so, you’ll need to disable it if you’re trying to have each toggle be able to open and close. The accordion option will always keep at least one of the toggles open at a time.
if you don’t have that option enabled, please share your URL in regards.
Cheers
Hi Is it possible to close all toggles when using the accordion functionality? So when the user clicks on the open section this section collapses. This would be great!
Hey sSimoneenomiSs
Unfortunately not when the “Accordion Toggles” option is active. That functionality would require disabling that option.
Kind regards,
Hi, I’d like to add a fontawesome for every item in the navigation bar. How can I accomplish this? Thanks!

Is there a way to review what people have used Search in the navigation bar to search for?
Hey canook, Salient does not store any data relating to user searches. You would need some sort of analytics plugin for that functionality.

Hey there. Is it possible to display multiple shipping options for ecomm? I have services for UPS & USPS shipping options but only UPS will display.
Am I missing a setting?
Hey arteest,
WooCommerce supports multiple shipping methods which should be displayed on the front-end when configured. Have you verified that switching to the default WP theme corrects the issue?
Kind regards,
Hi there, one more question. On mobile I would like my images to be visible (fixed) and not scaled like it is now. See this page on mobile: yinner.kleidi.nl > I would like it like this: https://ibb.co/X8VT60L -> is that possible? Thanks in advance!
Hey Abbenhues,
Ensure that each of the row background positions are set to “center” and disable the full height row option. You can set padding on the row instead to make the size scale proportionally to the device. For a starting value, try setting the row to padding 50% for the top.
