Portfolio custom slug isn’t working.
Hey djmalibiran,
Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look at your setup to assist.
Hello, I have a Youtube background video that is no longer playing on mobile even though the Disable Video Backgrounds On Mobile Devices is not on. What am I missing? Has something changed in the new update? You can see it fine on desktop and the Youtube video is unlisted. I am not able to leave the site name on a forum if you need it, could I send it via your contact box? Thanks!
Hey katt101, YouTube videos were never able to automatically play on mobile, as mobile devices block that functionality. If you wish to have a video BG on mobile, you need to use the self hosted option (mp4/webm). Kindly see the docs here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#video-background
Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome, katt101 
Hi. I am trying to reduce the size of the font used in the Yoast breadcrumbs. It seems to be using the body text class at the moment. I have search extensively and have tried lots of different CSS snippets but nothing seems to work. I am adding the breadcrumbs using the shortcode [wpseo_breadcrumb]
This is an example of CSS that I have tried (plus a few more)
/* breadcrumbs */ .yoast-breadcrumbs span { font-size: 8px; }
breadcrumbs {
font-size: 14px; }
Any help / advice appreciated.
Hey wints77, Oddly, Yoast doesn’t appear to place any identifying class names on the breadcrumbs when calling them through the shortcode. You would need to wrap the shortcode in a div which you could target it with like so:
<div class="yoast-bread-crumbs">[wpseo_breadcrumb]</div>
And the related CSS would be:
.yoast-bread-crumbs {
font-size: 8px;
}
Thanks so much. This worked great. One other thing (sorry) am I able to set a different font size on mobile devices?
Its OK I worked it out
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { .yoast-bread-crumbs { font-size: 8px; } }
Glad I could help, wints77
The parallax background of a row with Image Gallery (Basic Slider Style) in it has a display problem – visible when viewing the site on a tablet/mobile. You can see also see it on desktop monitors when scrolling up and down.
Hey djmalibiran,
Thanks for mentioning. I’ve noted to investigate that further and include a fix in the upcoming release.
Kind regards,
Hello,
I can’t remember which update caused this but I have a problem on this site with the “wireframe” display of the typeface: https://mc-watersports.com/fr/
How can I correct this? I didn’t have “thread” inside before
Thanks in advance
Hey MAJMonaco,
This wasn’t caused by a change released in Salient, but rather Google starting to convert some fonts to “variable” weights. Currently, variable fonts create those kinds of overlaps when creating the outline effect. See: https://github.com/googlefonts/josefinsans/issues/16 Unfortunately there are no good workarounds at this time for that.
You can see which fonts are “variable” in their list in the top right https://fonts.google.com/
Thank you for the precision and the quick answer
You’re welcome, MAJMonaco
Cheers
Hi,
Can i add a custom query to the post grid?
Hey muntzallactive, yes there’s an option to select “custom” for the query in the post grid element: https://ibb.co/KzgnmWN
Are you trying to customize the query further than what’s available in the options?
Blog Categories
https://pasteboard.co/8RnkTuv47oMV.jpg
Blog Categories: All
Posts Per Page: 3
It will still show 10 posts. There is a bug with categories, if “All” is selected it won’t show the number you want – always 10.
As a workaround, I selected all categories manually. Then it shows 3 posts. If I deselect all categories and select “All” – it will show 10.. somehow it doesn’t see posts per page when “All” is selected
Hey Lateralus578,
I can’t replicate that issue locally. Can you please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so that I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
Hello! I have a question, is it possible to have a lightbox gallery portfolio? i know there is an option to check the “lightbox only” option, but that only shows one image, i would like to show a whole project gallery, on lightbox. Is it possible? Thanks!
Hey paulinavargasin!
Unfortunately it’s not possible to have each project item trigger a separate gallery at this time. I’ve noted your +1 for that idea on the wishlist though.
Kind regards,
Hi there,
Pre-sales question – does Salient use WPBakery? I prefer it (right now) over Elementor, but just wanted to know what Page Builder Salient uses. I don’t see any page builder listed on your ThemeForest page.
Thank you.
Hey Woter_background_, Yes Salient uses a tailored version of WPBakery.
Kind regards,
Hi,
How can i completely hide these Salient and Global Sections -> https://imgur.com/a/On8Lw55
so other users don’t mess with the settings there. Is there a CSS to hide these from dashboard?
Thanks
I dont want to use a plugin for several reasons. Can you please give a css that hides it? I can not find the right selector to target those sections so i can hide, or else id do it myself.
Hey toolbox101,
Add the following to the child theme functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/DbaxRGk4You’ll need to modify the selector “toplevel_page_SalientChildTheme” if you’ve altered the child theme name.
Hi,
I’m using a recent posts element. Works great but one accessibility (WCAG) issue. The links generated are like: < a class=”entire-meta-link” href=”URL”>< /a>. Without a text in the anchor. Is there a way to get post title and use it within the anchor? Otherwise it’s not complient with the WCAG
Kind regards
Hey MM-Admin,
The recent version of the Salient Core plugin should include an aria-label on that link. Can you verify that you’re using v1.9.4?
Kind regards,
Compatible with wordpress 6.0?
Hey dzineee, Yes Salient is compatible with WP 6.0.

Hello, although I like the theme, I need to uninstall it for a site. How can I uninstall the theme as clean as possible? Do I simply activated a different theme and then remove all Salient plugins? Or should I also remove other things? Thank you John
Hey johnjohn,
Yes – there are no additional steps needed to in order to switch to another theme.
Kind regards,
Hi there! I did the steps you pointed out in your salient docs about translation with Loco Translate. The translation works but when there is a new salient update, what happens with my changes? Currently I use salient-child. The translation steps I did on SALIENT (...lang/nectar_salient_strings.pot).
Hope for your reply.
Alex
Hey Alex!
When adding a new language to LocoTranslate, you can specify a location that is outside of the theme to allow translations to persist through future updates. See the documentation here in regards: https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/msginit

How in the world do you disable the zoom on hover effect on woocommerce products? I can’t find a setting for this and it only happens when salient is activated. I just want a single image with no zoom effect or click to make larger effect.
Hey RCPMarketing,
Are you referring to products within the archives (in the grid) or the single product page template? The single product template zoom is a default option of WooCommerce and not something specific to Salient. It can be disabled by adding the following snippet to your child theme functions.php file:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_single_product_zoom_enabled', '__return_false' );
If you’re instead referring to the archive pages, you can alter the hover effects/options for your products in the Salient options panel > WooCommerce > General tab.
Kind regards,
I’ve noticed that if you have a button in the secondary header and then have that set to go within the mobile menu (Standard Simple Dropdown) the text on the button doesn’t display, it’s the same colour as the button background.
Is this a bug? Is there any CSS available to change the text colour on the button when in the mobile menu? I’ve tried several things but nothing seems to work!
Hey jbennett360!
Could you kindly share the page URL so that I can take a closer look to provide you with the CSS rule?
Kind regards,
Will reach out via the contact form
Thanks jbennett360
Hi there, I note that you are implementing some performance increases in the next version. Would a lot of these do the heavy-lifting that WP Rocket would do, or would WP Rocket be worth having additionally?
Hey ND81
WPRocket could still be useful for the its caching functionality. However, it wouldn’t be needed to boost your mobile page speed score if that’s what you’re interested in.
Kind regards,

Hello,
I want to remove the image logo but also I don’t want the site title to be displayed as a logo, what should I do?
Thanks for your help.
Hey ajc3,
You could add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#top #logo {
visibility: hidden;
}
Kind regards,
