Hey Nectar,
I have an off-canvas menu (full screen inline with dynamic BG) and I would like the “x” to close the off-canvas menu to change colors when the menu drops down (from dark to light) – like on your “resort” demo. Right now the menu close button stays dark, making it difficult to see it.
I am able to make my logo change from dark to light, but only if I set my starting logo to a light version. The issue with this is that when a page loads, the logo flashes from a light version to a dark version. Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks!
Sorry, I figured out how to achieve the color change. There is one issue though. For me to achieve this I have to set “Header Starting Text Color” to white and “Header Starting Logo Upload” to a light logo. I understand how to force the logo and text to be dark using to row color option, but the text and logo starts light before changing to the dark version on my pages. This only happens for a few milliseconds, but it’s noticeable. Is there any way to prevent this?
Here’s an example of what I’m trying to describe: https://imgur.com/a/8mkW05E
Hey TheRooster,
Do you already have the “Transparent header navigation color” set to “dark” in the header navigation metabox on your pages? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page with your page URL in regards so that I can take a look: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Thanks so much for the help! That was the issue. Cheers!
Glad to hear, TheRooster

Hi there, I’m having an issue on mobile. See this screenshot:
https://ibb.co/F4KMrtZI would like the white box to be over the left side as well, now you see a stripe on the left which is not so nice.
This is the page i’m referring to: https://academy.kleidi.nl/de-kernwaarden/You can log in with these credentials:
Salient nel1jHU!0)j3#daTv9&S)^l8
page to log in: https://academy.kleidi.nl/log-in/
Thanks in advance.
Best regards Tes
Hey Tes,
Inspecting the code of that page, I’m seeing that for the mobile viewport you have set a transform on the X-axis for 1px on the row. Try to remove that: https://ibb.co/DMNbhSH
Cheers
Hi, thanks! So I changed it as you said on this page: https://academy.kleidi.nl/waarom-en-wanneer-actieonderzoek/ but now you see a stripe on the right instead of the left.. (on mobile). Can we fix that?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.
Hey Tes, that issue is likely occurring from “half pixel” rendering on higher DPI devices. You should be able to fix it by selecting any of the px based values for the “Column Spacing” field In the Salient options panel > general settings > styling tab. i.e. any value other than “default”.
Did this theme support PHP5.6.30? thank you!
Hey ykproject, it’s recommended to use PHP7+, as PHP5.6 is not supported by WordPress as a whole anymore: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
Kind regards,

Guys who thinks to buy this theme.
THIS THEME HAS THE BEST SUPPORT EVER !
Thank you the king !
Do you have a suggestion on how to add the Google Merchant Center survey code to the order confirmation page? I realize this might be more of a Woocommerce dev question but perhaps there is a way you recommend… maybe I can add this code to the confirmation page using wpbakery? TIA
Hey ehong33234,
You can use the “woocommerce_thankyou” hook via your child theme functions.php to add any content:
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'salient_child_woo_confirmation_mod');
function salient_child_woo_confirmation_mod() {
echo 'Your custom content here';
}
Kind regards,
Thank you for the reply. How would I add this Google code to the functions.php? Sorry I’m not a coder. https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7106244#addcode
Hey ehong33234,
Here’s the snippet you’d use within your child theme functions.php https://pastebin.com/RHvnmdNH
Cheers
Thank you so much. I added this to my functions.php and it didn’t show the survey on the order confirmation. I also tried to use the Code Snippets plugin but that didn’t work either. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hey ehong33234,
Have you tried to add simple text to the action hook to see if that’s visible on your end? https://www.hardworkingnerd.com/a-guide-to-the-woocommerce_thankyou-action/What video hosting do you recommend for the theme you show here: https://themenectar.com/salient/architect/
Hey datavizion,
We self-host all the videos we use for backgrounds. Are you looking for a CDN recommendation or a website recommendation to locate stock videos?
Kind regards,
I am looking to see the best way to host and a video/video files like you used in the theme demo. If you are using a CDN a recommendation would be nice. I assumed you may have hosted your video at a place like vimeo apparently that is wrong.
Hey datavizion,
There is no option to use Vimeo for video backgrounds, and the YouTube option doesn’t support mobile playback – because of that limitation, we always recommend self-hosting videos. We are not affiliated with any specific CDN to recommend, but you can’t go wrong with Cloudflare.
Hi, We’re using Weglot for language switching. Is it possible to add the language switcher to the icon section of the menu (with the search and login icon) preferably to the right of these – https://www.stringer-flavour.com/
Weglot provide the shortcode [weglot_switcher]
Hey MarcGarner,
You can add the following snippet to your child theme functions.php to handle that:
https://pastebin.com/xvypgghcHello ThemeNectar,
Could you help me with how to create a lightbox popup to view a video from a fancy box please? I’m using a horizontal fancy box with several images showcasing work and I’d like to make each of the boxes clickable to a video pop up to show my video work. Thank you for your help!
Hey MarshallT 
Since there’s no option to connect a fancy box to a video lightbox by default, you’ll need to use a custom anchor tag + CSS to position it correctly.
You can to paste this anchor tag into the text tab of the box content: https://pastebin.com/kFThcCQ3
And then add the following snippet of CSS to your theme options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.fancybox-video-link {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0;
}
Kind regards,
Hi,
Our client’s site is using the latest version of Salient v14.0.2. I’m trying to remove the Open Sans from loading to the page.
<link rel="stylesheet" id="nectar_default_font_open_sans-css" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans%3A300%2C400%2C600%2C700&subset=latin%2Clatin-ext&display=swap" type="text/css" media="all">
I made sure it’s not being used as font-family in the Salient settings.
I added the following to the Child (activated) theme’s functions.php:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'function remove_salient_font' );
function remove_salient_font() {
wp_dequeue_style('nectar_default_font_open_sans');
}
I also tried the following because of the link ID:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'function remove_salient_font' );
function remove_salient_font() {
wp_dequeue_style('nectar_default_font_open_sans-css');
}
I also cleared the caches. But still, it’s being loaded in the page. :cry:
Hey djmalibiran,
There’s a theme option to remove the default font if desired: https://ibb.co/5xM9w4X
Kind regards,
Thank you but I’m using Google fonts https://ibb.co/cbX2kWz
Hey,
The option which we’ve both screenshotted is only related to the default “Open Sans” font. You can set that to none to remove it and stil make use of whatever Google fonts you need that you have assigned via each typography field.
Hi ThemeNectar, is it possible to change the Column Spacing to 10px or even 5px as the minimum we can use at the moment is 20px, which is a bit too wide in some cases.
Also, if we bring a lower row higher up the page up using a minus value in the Transform Y field…is it possible for the layer above to appear on top of the layer below, if that makes sense? https://snipboard.io/puOzgT.jpgHey Micatuca,
1. I’ve noted to add 5px/10px as options for the column margin setting in the next minor release, which is due out shortly 
2. Yes, you can set a value for the z-index field on the row to control that. Try using a value such as “100”
Kind regards,
Cheers ThemeNectar, any workaround we can use for the 5px for the time being?
Also, can I have some code to put into the z-index field please.
Hey Micatuca,
1. If you’d like early access to the change, please reach out via the contact form on my author page om regards
2. There’s no code needed, the z-index property is just a number that represents the stacking order. To ensure your row is on top, just enter a high number such as 100
Is there any way to make a menu item trigger the Search box opening?
Like, any particular CSS class I could add to that particular menu item to get it to trigger? Or do I have to add a custom class to init.js ?
Hey SeanAUS120, you can add the class name “mobile-search” to your menu item in order to trigger that.
Cheers
Amazing! You’ve thought of everything in this theme.
Glad I could help, SeanAUS120 
Hi,
I’m getting the following error when I try to update my widgets are the most recent update:
‘the response is not a valid JSON response’
I just wondered whether anyone else was having this issue, and if there is a fix?
Thanks
Hey AletalkProductions,
Salient hasn’t updated anything related to the widgets area in the past few updates. Have you tried to switch to the default WP theme to verify that the error still occurs? The issue sounds like a core issue with the block editor and your site settings.
Here’s a quick guide you could check out to try some troubleshooting
Kind regards,
Hi, I have override portfolio shorcode file adding.
function nectar_shortcode_processing(){ require_once ( get_stylesheet_directory() . ’/frontend/shortcode.php’ ); } nectar_shortcode_processing();
But There is something that doesn’t work fine because i’ve this error many times
“DataTables warning: table id=user-list – Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see https://datatables.net/tn/7" en la url https://mesquidamora.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5818&action=edit&lang=ca
Could you help me with this?
Thanks in advanced
Hey dimecris,
Have you tried to instead copy the actual function “nectar_portfolio_processing” to your child theme functions.php file?
Hi where can i translate “cart” in the off canvas area with woocommerce dind`t find anything in the strings! thank you
Hey haoe,

we may assist 
works fine with the plugin say what you recommend! thank you
You’re welcome, haoe 
hi, can you give me a quick tip how i can change the font-family from select and option. in standard open sans is active when i override it with another font-family the text in the option field is an standard font like times or serif. so how can i style these option part with css? thank you for your help and your always brilliant service!
Hey haoe,
Are you enqueuing your custom font family in order to be able to use it? Could you kindly share the page URL where the select is in use so that i can take a closer look at your CSS/font-family?
Thanks in advance
Hey haoe,
1. I’m not seeing any CSS active for the WooCommerce ordering dropdown on that page, however I’ve confirmed that adding the following CSS correctly displays the font family:
.woocommerce-ordering select {
font-family: 'staemmig-BG-light';
}
2. With your selection of tall/wide masonry images, when the column number changes there are not enough squares (default sizes) available to fill all of the spaces within the grid. You would need to alter the items to use more default sizes images to allow every gap to fill.
thanks the problem was the option fields in firefoxso i had to put ,monospace after the first individual link as fallback! thanks for your help
Glad I could help, haoe 
Hey there, I’ve been looking for a new theme to go with for weeks now and I think I finally found it – but I have a few questions before purchasing it:
1. Does your theme offer an option to apply a fixed border to the whole site (passepartout)? 2. For single product pages, is it possible to make the product image sticky and the product info part scrollable instead (like the sticky product info feature, but vice versa.). 3. As far as I can see from the demos, there’s no option to close modals, menus etc. on ESC key. This feature would improve the theme’s overall UX so much and I can hardly believe it’s not supported. Is this something you could add in the near future? Or could you at least provide a custom solution for this?
Hey wutzelmutz 
1. Yes, there’s a passepartout option available via the theme options panel > general settings tab
2. There’s no built-in option for that, it would currently require some custom modding.
3. Unfortunately there’s no quick solution I can provide for that, but I’ve the +1 for the idea on the wishlist
Kind regards,
Thanks for your answer – the missing ESC option currently is the only thing that keeps me from purchasing. I’d be very happy if you could add this in the near future, I’m sure it would improve the theme’s UX a lot! One more thing: Is it correct that there’s no built-in option to create a simple text modal or popup with WPBakery? Will I need a separate plugin for that?
Hey wutzelmutz,
There is no general modal element available in WPBakery, you would need to use a plugin for that as well.
Kind regards,
Hey there, any news or probably an ETA for the close on ESC thing? I’ve also opened a ticket some months ago but unfortunately never got a reply. This feature would improve your theme so much and would perfectly match it’s style!
Hey wutzelmutz,
I can provide you early access to that functionality if you reach out via the contact form on my author page.
Kind regards
That sounds great. I was playing around with the theme over the last months and would like to go for it with my new site, but this feature is a must for me. I’ll contact you directly then.
Hi there – been running into an issue lately with embedding private Vimeo videos with embed allowed and receiving a message “Sorry this video does not exist” Using fancyBox3 and a portfolio lightbox Vimeo video. I believe this may have something to do with a change in Vimeo embed code as they added a structure such as vimeo.com/xxxx/xxxx for private videos and when mousing over the thumbnail I am seeing only vimeo.com/xxxx?iframe=true (missing second set part of URL). Any easy fix for this – on latest up-to-date version of the theme? Here’s a Vimeo article talking addressing the embed change https://vimeo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409305565069-Embedded-player-displays-This-video-does-not-exist-message
Thanks!
Hey colepeterson! Yes that is an issue with fancyBox and the newer Vimeo URL structure for private videos. Unfortunately there’s no quick fix that can be applied without editing the core JavaScript for the fancyBox plugin. I’ve noted to investigate this for the upcoming minor release.
Kind regards,
Hi Mr. Nectar,
How do I change the pull right menu item id?
I’m trying to trigger a pop-up on click
Thanks!
Hey JustLaw 
Are you trying to alter the ID of a specific menu item within your pull right location or add an ID to the containing div? If you need to modify the parent div attributes, you’ll need to copy the file salient\includes\partials\header\header-menu.php to your child theme to make the modification.
Thanks for swift reply!
I’m trying to alter the ID of a specific menu item within the pull right location.
Is this possible?
Thanks for clarifying JustLaw, WordPress doesn’t provide the ability to add ID’s to menu items, but you can add a custom class name which I imagine you could use to trigger the popup as well:
Kind regards,
Hello!
Is it possible to put a video in the background (instead of the featured image from the project) of a “Recent Projects” element with the style Fullscreen Zoom Slider? i use the Demo “creative portfolio”
i hope it’s clear 
Thanks!
Hey mc-pint,
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in functionality to achieve that as of now. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist 
ok thanks 
is there a possibility to link to a particular project? Example a link to the second slide of fullscreen Zoom Slider?
Thanks!
another question about ths Fullscreen Zoom Slider. is it possible to make this event happen on scroll? Thanks! 
Hey mc-pint, Unfortunately, there’s no option for that functionality by default either i’m afraid.
