Good Day
is there a way to reduce the space on the Vertical Sticking Scrolling Tabs
https://ibb.co/ngF6nT1Hey F5Creative,
You can use the “Navigation Item Spacing” field when editing the “Tabs” to edit that element https://ibb.co/LYJFCkp

Hi there,
I’m having a slight issue with the search functionality on this website – http://roryflynn-prototypes.co.uk/alpha
If I search for the product ‘Custom Sampling Systems’ it brings up 17 results including pages such as the ‘About’ page and ‘Accessories’ that have no reference to that product.
Conversely, if I search for ‘Fixed Sampling Systems’ it only brings up 10 results that all contain reference to the text – Fixed Sampling Systems
Any ideas what the could be causing the issue please?
Hey Rory1984,
Salient doesn’t override the default WordPress search query functionality – we only provide styling/layouts for the results. I would guess that the words “custom”, “sampling” or “systems” appear somewhere on your pages that show up in the results. If you’re looking to alter the search results to only show content which contains the full phrase instead of partial matches, you would need to use a third party plugin or a custom snippet within your child theme.
Kind regards
Hi Phil,
hope you’re doing great! Got one small question regarding the newish post grid element. Is it possible to display it in fullwidth but have a margin/space on the left that matches the extended header padding (header is not fullwidth) and would work on all screen sizes? So the post grid runs to the right side off the screen but has a space on the left with the filters also being aligned to it? Basically having the post grid only fullwidth to the right side and on the left matching it to a boxed div. I had it but it only worked on a big screen and got messed up on all the other sizes…
Thanks a lot in advance
Hey TheChuckOne! Hope you’ve been good as well 
It would be possible to achieve that by setting left/right padding on the parent row to match what you need with the header. The row padding is able to be set uniquely per device (desktop/tablet/mobile) so it should be easy to match up: https://ibb.co/sgcyjwm
Kind regards,
Hi Phil,
thanks for the quick response. I actually tried it but the padding doesn’t persist on different screen sizes. On one of my big monitors it looks perfect but on the smaller ones it moves to the left. I guess it is because it calculates the paddings based on the resolution/size of the screen and the header and body elements have a static width (in container)?

Hey TheChuckOne,
I’m not seeing that spacing difference when inspecting your actual page URL and switching between large/small sizing. Are you still experiencing this?
Kind regards,
Hi Phil, sorry, I had it switched off. It is back on on the actual page now. Looks right on a 16inch mbp screen but the padding is broken on other bigger screens eg 27inch monitor. This is the page: https://www.gurskydesign.com/work/
Thanks again for the always quick responses and help 
No worries TheChuckOne,
Sorry I misread your initial request – if you need the layout to match the alignment of the site container on the left, but expand to the screen on the right, you would need to use some custom CSS. Alter the layout back to the “in container” and remove your custom left padding. You could then give the post grid a class name such as “overflow-right-grid” and then add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab: https://pastebin.com/McpYgSPu
Thanks a lot, Phil! This worked perfectly and exactly what I meant! You’re the best <3
Glad I could help, TheChuckOne

Hi, I use Salient for a number of websites. I’ve been asked about construction equipment rental website and would like to know if you have a demo or features that would supporting renting equipment? Thanks
Hey turneradam93,
Unfortunately we don’t have a demo scheduled relating to construction at this time.
Kind regards,
Hey, I installed this salient theme, and tried to import the ‘architect’ demo, but I can not find it in my installed theme, although it is in online demo. how can I import it ?
Hey mainellomontage,
Please ensure that you’re using the latest Salient Demo Importer plugin (v1.4). Earlier versions won’t have access to the “Resort” or “Architect” demos.
If you’re on an earlier version of that plugin and don’t see an update available, you likely need to update Salient: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Kind regards,
Video background works (with Youtube Video URL) on PC but not on mobile. Could you help?
i use salient 14.0.5 and wordpress 6.0.1
Hey riolec,
Mobile devices do not allow YouTube video embeds to autoplay. If you wish to use a video background that autoplays on mobile, you’ll need to use the self-hosted (mp4/webm) option: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#video-background
Kind regards,
Thank you.
I have one question. I use transparant header and i want to change menu navigation color to white and hover color blue. Could you help how?
Hey riolec,
Add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#header-outer.transparent #top nav>.sf-menu>li>a:hover {
color: #3555ff!important;
}
#header-outer[data-lhe=animated_underline].transparent #top nav>.sf-menu>li>a .menu-title-text:after {
border-color: #3555ff!important;
}
If that doesn’t fully work for your setup, please share the actual URL so that I can take a look at your settings to provide an updated snippet.
Cheers
Looks like the “Classic Mode” in the Backend Editor is gone …
Where or how can i activate it?
Best regards Alex
Hey Alex,
I would recommend first checking for a plugin conflict by temporarily deactivating any third-party plugins active to see if one is causing the issue. If not, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance,
Is there a way to add video to a woocomerce single product gallery? Thanks in advance!
Hernan B
Hey Hernan 
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in functionality for that as of now. It would currently require the use of a third-party plugin.
Kind regards,
It seems WooCommerce loads the ‘photoswipe’ be default. This is several JS files and .css styles. I believe there are 4 files being loaded for photoswipe.
It seems that salient uses its own photo gallery. Would it be possible to disable the default photoshop or does Salient still depend on these files?
Update: I have tested in dev environment and it seems photoswipe can be disabled without losing too much functionality.
However, this leaves the images clickable and referring to a singe image page.
I would like to disable the AHREF link that is added to the images on a single product page, is that possible?
Hey dzineee,
You can remove that click functionality by add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.woocommerce-product-gallery a {
pointer-events: none;
}
Please use the support forum when posting multiple questions in the future, as this area is only meant for quick questions/pre-sale inquires.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
i am trying to figure out why the fonts load on different timings. According to GTmetrix please see screenshot: https://snipboard.io/1du7X8.jpgThe first 2 are google fonts that are loading simultaneous with star.woff Fontawesome is quite delayed and comes after. I noticed a option in Salient to delay fontawesome, but that would still not explain why it does not load at the same time as star.woff.
Do you have an idea what is going on here?
Hey dzineee,
The option labeled “Remove Global Font Awesome” will push it to the end of document, which would cause it to load later. The order of asset loading will also be affected by any performance plugins. i.e. if you’re delaying asset loading via WP Rocket for example. Using such options to delay stylesheets can also cause large cumulative layout shifts, as you mentioned in your previous comment.
Hello,
it seems that on the WooCommerce Single Product page the image dimensions are missing for the images in the gallery. Checking on mobile. This seems to cause a CLS issue.
Is there a reason that the image dimensions are missing here and is there a way to improve this?
Hey dzineee,
The single product gallery images should have width/height values by default. Please share a URL where that’s not occurring so that I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hello, thank you for the quick support.
This seems to be happening when I choose Theme Ascent – Product Style Classic – Default WooCommerce Gallery – ‘Product Tab Position’ fullwidth under images.
In that case the small thumbnails below the image do not have a width and height. It gets class=flex-active, but no dimensions.
This seems to be nested in ”.woocommerce-product-gallery woocommerce-product-gallery-with-images woocommerce-product-gallery-columns-4 default-woo-gallery images”
Hey dzineee,
We don’t have direct control over the markup in that style. Those thumbnails are generated with JavaScript from the core flex gallery library in WooCommerce – the same gallery markup should be observed when switching themes.
Kind regards,
Thank you. I have checked with WooCommerce and tested on the default Storefront theme. It does seem that the problem is related to the salient theme. The gallery images seem to be loaded and set by the js_composer_salient. See screenshot: https://snipboard.io/N4mJlE.jpg
Hey dzineee,
You can remove the WPBakery version of flex slider to opt for the WooCommerce version by adding the following snippet to your child theme functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/sEjHHhSR
Kind regards,
Thank you. This actually seems to resolve the issue as the width and height are now included in the html code. I am not sure what is the difference between the two .js files but perhaps something to update and include in future Salient updates to include these dimensions as well?
I appreciate all your help (Y)
Hey dzineee,
I’ve noted it on the wishlist 
Cheers
Would you be able to confirm whether this issue has been resolved? As of now we are still overwriting the flexslider, but I am not sure that is necesary:
// Salient’s native slider on product page if (function_exists(‘WC’)) { wp_deregister_script(‘flexslider’); wp_enqueue_script(‘flexslider’, plugins_url() . ’/woocommerce/assets/js/flexslider/jquery.flexslider.min.js’, array(), ‘1.0’, true); }
Hey dzineee,
I do not believe that snippet is necessary anymore when using the latest version of the Salient WPBakery plugin.
Great, thank you. I will remove the code.
I wanted to add a custom field to my WooCommerce archive pages inside the H1. Where is the location of this H1 in the template files?
I am looking in /helpers/page-header.php or /helpers/woocommerce.php but none of the H1’s in there are the right ones.
Hey SeanAUS120,
You’re looking for the “salient_woo_shop_title” function, which is located in the salient/nectar/helpers/woocommerce.php file. It can be copied to your child theme functions.php for overriding.
Kind regards,
Is it possible to add a colour variable in css for accent colour, so for example, if there is a custom class called for example, .custom-class can one use css such as below so that the accent color is applied to the class.
.custom-class { background-color: var(—accent-color); }
Hey michellejohnson51974,
Salient already offers a few class names to apply the accent color which you can use as needed:
.nectar-color-accent-color - for color .nectar-bg-accent-color - for background color .nectar-bg-hover-accent-color - for background color applied on hover
If you wish to make your own custom variable, that could be achieved in a child theme.
Cheers
Thank you so much for your quick response, it is greatly appreciated. So I have the below css in the customiser. #f27733 is the theme accent colour. How can I apply nectar-color-accent-color to the border instead of the hex code?
.hero-section::before { content: ””; position: absolute; border: solid 150px #f27733; background-color: transparent; -moz-border-radius:50%; -webkit-border-radius: 50%; width: 600px; height: 600px; top: -20%; left: 50%; }
Hey michellejohnson51974,
There’s currently no class name for the border-color property. However, the upcoming release will be adding in CSS variables for all the theme options coloring. If you’d like early access, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Hey team nectar, i found two issues which i cannot solve on my project: https://bit.ly/3bdIDdP
1. Is the close button of the search bar. It seems by the header layout „logo center“ that the close icon is not clickable. Only by scrolling a few px down. 2. the vertical tabs with sidebar, there is too much space between the separator border. I cannot fix this by using css.
thanks for helping me.
Hey Layoutmachen,
1. That appears to be z-index issue specific to that header style configuration. I’ll add a fix for it in the upcoming release, and for now you can correct it by add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#header-outer.material-search-open #top>.container>.row>.right-aligned-menu-items nav {
pointer-events: none;
}
2. That’s occurring because you only hav e two post items and the height of the sidebar is taller than them together. Once a third item is added, the height would collapse to normal. If you only intend on keeping two, you can also add in the following CSS snippet:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1001px) {
.nectar-post-grid-wrap--fl-sidebar_left {
align-items: center;
}
}
Cheers
Hey always thanks to your support 
You’re welcome, Layoutmachen 
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Is it possible to have a layout like this: https://snipboard.io/TQFHyv.jpgWhere we have 5 columns on a desktop and 2 columns on a mobile device?
The 5 column on desktop should be easy enough, but by default, mobile seems to only be able to put content into one column per row?
Hey Micatuca,
You can alter the column width for mobile by using the “Responsive Options” tab when editing your columns. See the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-columns/#width
Kind regards,
hello, thank you for your work simple question: how to hide the line of the builder with Salient Template / My Template
Hey arnolyon!
You can disable the Salient template library by adding the snippet to your child theme described in the docs: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/remove-salient-studio/
If you also need to remove the “templates” button, you can add the following snippet into your child theme as well:
https://pastebin.com/CSx1euvaKind regards,
Whether the template is compatible with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, there is no such information on the plugin page; (
Hey jarektom, Salient is generally compatible with all major performance plugins. The only time you could potentially run into an issue is when you activate aggressive settings within the plugin which alter the loading of JavaScript.
Kind regard,
hey! i know its a while since I bought this theme but im doing some changes on the site, im just wondering how can i remove the Free Shipping + Free Exchanges On All Items! banner above the navigation in this demo https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-ultimate/ ?
thanks so much!
Hey alvartabe!
You can disable that section in the Salient options panel > header navigation > secondary header bar tab by selecting “Standard” for the “Secondary Header Bar”.
Kind regards,
I would like to add an auto play video to my WooCommerce product, do you know of any plugin that works with your custom salient gallery? Also, do you have any plans on adding features like this to your theme?
Hey BlackWat3r,
I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for that functionality. However, any plugin adding that kind of functionality should be able to work without issues when using either the “2 Column Images + Sticky Product Info” or “Default WooCommerce Gallery” style offered in the Salient options.
Kind regards,
Hi,
We’re running into a problem after updating to Wordpress 6.0.1 For some Salient WP Bakery elements we assigned a custom CSS class using the ‘Extra class name’ field. But the CSS doesn’t seem to load anymore.
Is this a known problem? I notice the newest version of WP Bakery is not included with the latest version of your theme. Maybe simply updating to the latest version of WP Bakery might resolve the issue.
Hey stevenboot,
There’s no known issue with the latest WP / Salient WPBakery like that. Can you share the actual page URL and specify an example class name you’ve added and let me know where you have entered the CSS in e.g. the theme options panel, child theme etc.
Kind regards,
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Sure, hereby the link to the website in question: https://kleen4care.bootschap.nl/
And some examples of custom CSS classes not working anymore: In general why assigned a custom class to all the yellow buttons called ‘k4c-button’. In the footer you will find 2 logo’s, we assigned a custom css class to these images called ‘k4c-keurmerk-logo’. And also in the footer, the copyright text at the very bottom, we assigned custom CSS classes called ‘k4c-footer-text’ and ‘k4c-footer-link’. The CSS for these custom classes is placed in Salient > General settings > CSS/Script Related > Custom CSS Code.
Before updating to the newest Wordpress and newest theme version, everything worked fine. But after updating, the classes don’t seem to work anymore. All plugins are up to date as well.
We hope you can take a look. Thanks.
Hey,
The issue is that you have an unclosed media query that is limiting all CSS below it to screen sizes less than 690px: https://ibb.co/9W8X5qD – If you shrink your screen to a mobile size, you’ll see all your custom CSS apply in the current state.
To fix it, you should close that media query after the ”.k4c-slider-heading .content” rule, or remove the media query altogether.
Kind regards,
Hi, I can’t believe we missed this error in the custom CSS, thank you for pointing it out! The issue is fixed now.
Glad that I could help, stevenboot
