Hey toolbox101,
You can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
https://pastebin.com/HNzutxScYou might need to change the top and height values depending on your mobile logo size.

Hey there, pretty good theme so far, one problem I am facing is, I want to showcase my website works with woocommerce product gallery. But your lightbox is not optimal for showcasing large web page, thats why I need a light box similiar to this where a use can scroll and see the page properly. How can I achieve this?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QblgTvrcMPipNgJYnU3isnjxp0kanBW4/view?usp=sharingHey mohammadshifat686634,
Salient does not include a Lightbox that is optimized to handle displaying arbitrary HTML content. You would need to disable the built-in Lightbox functionality in the Salient options > general settings > functionality tab and implement your own.
Kind regards,
can you recommend me a plugin please? I searched the internet for almost 2 days for the same but didnt find any plugin like this
Hey, Unfortunately, I don’t have a specific plugin to recommend for that functionality.
Hi there,
I’m not sure if it’s a WordPress or Salient matter, but I noticed that all filters show inline, even if my post categories have sub-categories. Is there a way to show sub-categories under parent with the sortable post filter (sidebar left option)?
Hey Romanesco,
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in functionality to handle the output selected categories in a nested fashion. You would need to copy the nectar_post_grid.php template file into your child theme to make that modification: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/overriding-salient-wpbakery-element-template-files-through-a-child-theme/Kind regards
Hi there, is it an easy update from version 10.5.3 to the recent one? Or are there any “stepping stones” that we should be aware of? My client hasnt updated since that old version and I am going to update his site tomorrow. Just want to be sure. Thx
Hey zweigelb,
Going from 10.5.x to the current release should be smooth. The only thing to watch out for would be template / function overrides that you may have in a child theme. If you have any, they might need to be updated to reflect the parent versions. If that doesn’t apply to you, then there won’t be any additional considerations.
Kind regards,
In the “Post Grid” block/component, selecting “Post type=Custom”, and selecting any category or tag in “Narrow data source”, the sticky posts are not moved in the first ordered crd positions, as expected. The same functionality is working when selecting “Post type=Post”.
Any way to make sticky posts being visualised in front of the others, as intended by their sticky property?
Thank you
Hey ow-mktg,
Unfortunately sticky posts are ignored when specifying a taxonomy within a query. They will work normally when using the “Blog” post type because that offers the option to use “All” for the categories, which allows that functionality. In order to make it work for a custom query, you would also need to specify “All” for the taxonomy, which would require a filter from a child theme and most likely defeat your use-case of the custom query option.
There’s a workaround for it listed in this thread, however, it would also require some modifying via a child theme.
Kind regards,
I see thank you for the suggestion.
Hello I need to display the posts related to the currently shown one by some tag values. I see I can enable the Salient native “Related Posts” option in the theme settings, but this feature shows all the posts of the same category, while I need to show posts related by specific tag values. So I used instead the “Post Grid” block/component, selecting the “Post-type=Custom”, adding the tags values I need. It works, but I would like to exclude the currently shown post from the returned “related post” list. Any idea how to achieve this goal, to exclude the current post from the returned post list? Thank you
Hey ow-mktg,
You would need to hook into the “nectar_post_grid_query” filter and modify the query to include something like the following:'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ),
Kind regards
You should make your next demo about podcasting. Adding audio blog post format & audio integrations would be a nice feature. <3
Hey basilroland, we’ve considered a podcasting demo! I’ve noted your +1 for the idea 
Cheers
Are there any updates coming to the nectar slider? Different background images or content for desktop and mobile would be a nice feature. More controls on buttons, sizing, spacing etc.
Hey MarcGarner,
The “Simple Slider” option within the carousel page builder element is essentially the successor to the Nectar Slider. It allows you to place any content you need within each slide, since it’s built using the page builder: https://themenectar.com/salient/carousel/#simple-slider There’s no option to define separate background images per viewport, but there’s much greater flexibility in general.
You can import the template Show Stopped Slider Carousel from the Salient studio template library to check out an example.
Kind regards,
Will you be adding the slow background zoom from nectar slider to the simple slider? This is a great feature.
Hey MarcGarner, I’ve noted that idea on the wishlist
Thanks,
Hello,
I’ve updated my theme to the latest version and every time I try and update the PHP to 8.0, the website gives me the following error:
“There has been a critical error on this website.”
Is this theme compatible with PHP 8? Or, is it only compatible with PHP 8.1?
Thank you
Hey Suckerpunch,
We use PHP 8.0 on the demo sites, and there shouldn’t be anything within Salient that is not compatible with that version. Have you tried to disable all of your third party plugins prior to doing the update? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
For “Menu Icon Position”, any possibility of adding an option to place the icon to the right of the text?
Hey mrittman,
You could give you menu item a class name to handle this. For example, “icon-right” – once that’s added to the menu item, you could add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.menu-item-has-icon.icon-right > a {
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
#header-outer .menu-item-has-icon.icon-right .nectar-menu-icon {
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
}
Kind regards,
Oh wow okay that works! Thanks so much
You’re welcome, mrittman
Hi there. I hope you’re good. How do I embed any Youtube video (i.e., it’s not in my own Youtube account) and set a custom preview image / thumbnail?
Hey Marc
To accomplish that you would need to use a video lightbox element. Here’s an example of the settings that would apply to you: https://ibb.co/8dWMNrs
Cheers
It looks great but clicking the play button opens the Youtube page rather than playing the video on the webpage where it’s embedded. Please see https://www.evergladesoutpost.org/ (underneath the headline “Featured on South Dade Shoutout”. Thank you.
Hey Marc,
Can you verify that your “Theme Lightbox” is set to “fancyBox3” in the Salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab?
Kind regards,
It was set to “none.” I changed it and everything is working now. Thanks, buddy.
Glad to help, Marc
Since updating the theme we are not getting the second product image on hover on the shop page – https://www.foodieflavours.com/shop/
This appears to only be a problem on Safari, second images displays as expected on Microsoft Edge.
Hey MarcGarner, I included the fix for this in 15.0.4 which is now available for download.
Kind regards
Hi there,
How can I disable the lightbox on photos in the gallery element of a post/ page?
Hey Romanesco!
You can accomplish that by add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.portfolio-items .col .work-item {
pointer-events: none;
}
Kind regards,
Works like a charm. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Romanesco
Since v15.0, there has been an error with the Post Grid query. I have narrowed the data source to display posts from only one category. When I am logged into the admin WP dashboard, I can see the correct posts; however, for any public-facing visitor to the site, the page displays all recent posts from all categories. Please fix!
Hey agathonfric, I can not replicate that locally. Usually errors that show up depending on whether you’re logged in have to do with caching plugins. If you’ve already tried to disable any you may have active for troubleshooting, please please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
After the latest update the form-login.php template has a version error.
Hey dijkska, that was corrected in v 15.0.4 of Salient: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Kind regards
Somehow I updated an older version it seems. It’s fixed now. Thanks for the info!
You’re welcome, dijkska
Your (Salient) theme contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need to be updated to be compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. Suggestions to fix it: Update your theme to the latest version. If an update is not available, please contact the author of the theme and inquire about compatibility with the current version of WooCommerce. If you copied the template file to change something, you have to copy the new version of the template and apply the changes again.
WooCommerce – Wersja 6.9.0
salient / woocommerce / myaccount / form-login.php version 4.1.0 is deprecated. The base version is 6.0.0,
Hey jarektom, that was corrected in v 15.0.4 of Salient: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Kind regards
You forgot to put the scribble animation on your elements in the demos. <3
Hey basilroland, Thanks for pointing that out! It’s been added
Cheers
Guys the new update disabled column animation on mobile, even when the disable option is not selected. Can u take a look plz. Its was working before..
Hey kayota,
Since 15.0.3 didn’t alter column animations and I can’t replicate that locally or on the demos using that latest release, kindly share your URL so that I can take a closer look at your setup to assist.
Thanks in advance
Hi, amazing theme, still, after all these years.
Just noticed that if you pick any page template other than the default, than the “After Page Content” (and I assume “After Header Navigation” as well) Global Sections are not working.
Cause those page templates don’t have the hook. <?php nectar_hook_before_container_wrap_close(); ?>
Thought I’d let you know. Thanks, keep up the great work
Thanks for the kind words, WMTD!
I’ve noted that for the next minor release
Cheers
I have been passed a clients website which is using the 8.5.5 version of Sailent, but the theme is broken, is there a way to grab the original 8.5.5 version of salient so then I can get the site running again and then run the migration to the latest version of sailent?
Hey stereobootsy, Yes – we can provide whatever version of the theme you need. Just reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Cheers
Hi there i used the contact form to see if this was possible over a week ago and heard nothing back… please can you help me,
Hey stereobootsy, sorry about that – I reached out earlier today in regards.
Cheers!
Hi, is it possible to stop videos on the last frame on backgrounds? If not is there a way to implement this?
Hey kayota,
You can’t stop video backgrounds on columns/rows at the end. However, the “Self hosted video player” page builder element does allow for this functionality when selecting the following options: https://ibb.co/4WWWN2P
You could place that element inside of a row set to “Full width content” to get the same layout.
Kind regards,
