Hi, how can i add a phone number beside the hamburger menu like in the new architect demo?
Hey Cartman66,
You can add a phone number to your menu by using a custom link: https://ibb.co/BV3KVz3
However, if you’re specifically interested in getting that button style for the phone number, you can use the Salient menu options when editing that menu link: https://ibb.co/xJfPJsQ Please see the following resource on the Salient menu options: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/
Kind regards
Hi, thank you for the answer i appreciate it. But how do i manage it to have the button next to the hamburger menu not in the off canvas menu. Like in the demo: https://ibb.co/1QFPrSJ
Hey Cartman66,
You would just need to create and assign a menu containing that button link to one of the main menu locations: https://ibb.co/mt7WjvS e.g. “Top Navigation Menu” instead of “Off canvas navigation menu”
Hey guys. Simple question that won’t require much of you brainpower today, lol.
Question is… is there a way to have 2 different header/footer layouts? For example, a dark option and a lite option?
If not… major wishlist request
Hey arteest 
Since you would be utilizing a separate set of theme options, that would require the use of a modification from your child theme or a WP Multisite installation.
Kind regards
Bit of an odd one: Is there any way to display a different Global Heading Section based on user role?
For example, I currently have a global header “X” displaying on all Post Pages for my “Subscribers”. I’d like to keep that, however I have a new role called “VIP” and for those users I’d like to show header “Y” on all the Post Pages.
Not sure if this can be accomplished or if there is another workaround.
Hey Andrew_McNelis,
You could handle that through a snippet in your child theme. You would need to unassigned the global section in your theme options panel and add something like this to your child theme functions.php:

Will give it a shot and report back. Thank you for the amazing support (as always).
This worked but threw off the styling. Was able to use a plugin to hide/show WPBakery rows based on role and seems to be working. Only issue is that now there is a break line between the header and global section. Any way to remove this via CSS or other? https://i.postimg.cc/fLbvQmQ9/Screenshot-2023-01-23-at-9-51-59-AM.png
Hey Andrew_McNelis, Can you kindly try updating to the latest theme release and then update your Salient core to the current?
That did the trick. Thanks again!
You’re welcome, Andrew_McNelis 
Hi, how do I disable the footer from global section in the blog posts?
Hey djb19,
You can accomplish that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.single-post .nectar-global-section.before-footer {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
Thanks! I used the blog layout but I don’t want the excerpt to show. How do I remove that? I don’t see it in settings. https://tinyurl.com/3f26u4sa
You’re welcome, djb19 
Here’s another snippet for that:
.masonry.classic_enhanced .post-header {
Margin-bottom: 0;
}
.masonry.classic_enhanced .post .excerpt {
display: none;
}
.masonry.classic_enhanced .masonry-blog-item .article-content-wrap {
padding: 10%;
}
Kind regards
In single blog posts I want to ad section where is related articles, but I want to choose those articles by myself. It’s a blog about music and this is why i need to choose manually which other posts are related. Is it possbile? I’ve tried WP bakery builder but didnt find a solution with “recent Posts” and “blog”, only could include particular category.
found this function on post grid, all ok now
Hey Justinasmi, I’m glad that you were able to find what you were looking for 
Hello! I am using the site review plugin on the salient template. They reported that the theme uses select2 for review rating. Can you tell me how can I remove the drop down list from the rating?
here screen https://disk.yandex.ru/i/o0NscEnwsRZ3hw
Hey Dilik, You can disable that in the Salient options > Form styling tab via the option “Enable Fancy Select Styling”.
Kind regards
Hi! I’ve read your guides but I didn’t find the answer: how can I prevent Google fonts from being fetched directly from the Google server, by activating “fonts.googleapis.com” and “fonts.gstatic.com”? I wish there were no longer those links: I tried with the options on the item ” Salient> Typography” Fonts loaded by the theme and do not load fonts but those sources keep appearing in the code! How can I do (it’s very important for european users)? Thank you
Hey thebugbear,
You can host Google fonts locally on your own server by using the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/
Kind regards
Hey there Team Salient. I was wondering if someone could provide some code on two different instances of the Post Grid element? I’ve created a demo page with the 2 elements in question
1. Reduce the padding at the bottom portion of a Post Grid. 2. Remove the title/space from the bottom of Post Grid. I want the spacing between columns and rows to be even.
As always, Thanks guys.
Page here: https://bit.ly/3kmya3OHey arteest,
You can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#ajax-content-wrap .postgrid-shortbase .nectar-post-grid-item .content {
padding: 15px;
}
.postgrid-notitle .nectar-post-grid-item .content {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
Thank you 
You’re welcome, arteest 
Hi there,
Is there a way to disable the gallery lightbox just on mobile while having it on desktop?
Hey Romanesco,
You can get that functionality by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.wpb_gallery {
pointer-events: none;
}
}
Kind regards
Wonderful! Thank you so much.
You’re welcome, Romanesco 
So, this issue happened not only on my website (finally) – here – https://themenectar.com/salient/image-with-hotspots/ – when you close modal or clicking on close button it drops you to the top of the site. Happened multiple times on different iPhones. 12 pro. 11. 13 pro max. Random modal on closing could drop user to the top of the website. Especially bottom one. On desktop and tablet – works fine. Those hotspots that placed on top image works good so far. But those on bottom drops you to top on closing. Randomly.
Hey raffess,
After testing for a couple minutes I have not been able to see that occur yet—Tested on an iPhone 13/14 as well as BrowserStack for other models. Can you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards and provide a screen recording so that I can try to emulate your actions?
It’s happening because of href=”#” that placed into . It sends user to the top of the site. Is it possible to change this link, for example, to self target or raw?
href=”#” that placed into class=”tipclose”
and following question – how can i make link none clickable in button? for example – I have a call to action button and i want it to do nothing. But i still need anchor links )
And after putting # in the link section CTA just redirects me to the top of page. I need simple hoover effect from CTA
double ## did the trick, but how correct is it?
In other words – here guys have some kind of tags under projects. In Our Works Featured Projects. And those tags are changing colors but not doing anything https://geex-arts.com/ im trying to do the same with cta
Hey raffess,
1. You should be able to prevent that on your end by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.nectar_image_with_hotspots .nectar_hotspot_wrap .nttip .tipclose {
pointer-events: none;
}
2. The URL you’ve linked is not a site that’s using Salient—however, I would recommend also setting the pointer events to none on any link you wish to lead nowhere. You could give a class name to the call to action element such as “no-pointer-events” and then add the CSS
.no-pointer-events .link_wrap .link_text {
pointer-events: none;
}
Please use the support forum in future when posting multiple questions, as this is not the correct location: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Kind regards
Grand thanx. I guess, that my support subscription is expired. Will renew it.
By the way – none of your solutions helped. In 1st one – modal window on the phone become unclickable. In the 2nd one , and even with !important, CTA still jumps to the top while having # in link section, or reload when blank. I did clear cache every time I put something in css. Of course : ) So far – i leaved double ## in CTA link. And return previous settings to modal windows in hot spot images.
Hi there,
Can we designate some blog/ portfolio posts to open as a gallery lightbox only and others to enter the blog/ portfolio posts? Currently, I see an option to have one or the other, but no way to mix the two. Thanks!
Hey Romanesco!
That can be achieved when using the “Post grid” element with the portfolio post type. You can designate specific projects as a “Lightbox Only Grid Item” within the “Project configuration” metabox when editing a project.
Kind regards
I tried that, but I always get a “The image could not be loaded.” message on click. Clicking it downloads the video locally. On the other hand, the external (YouTube) link works, though. Can the gallery lightbox honor the local video/ self-hosted file on open?
Also, any way to mix images and video in one gallery element? Thanks!
Hey Romanesco,
Since I can not replicate that error locally, can you please share the URL where you’re seeing that message occur so that I can take a look? Are you uploading the self hosted video file in the video settings metabox within your project?
Hello! Is there a way to disable or override the setting “Tablet Column Width Inherits From” that’s at the bottom of the responsive options tab? I don’t want tablet portrait to inherit from either mobile or small desktop, I want to set it directly using the default WPBakery behavior of tablet portrait getting its default value from the width attribute.
I’m trying to create a layout that is 3-column on desktop & sm desktop/tablet landscape, 2-column on tablet portrait, and 1-column on mobile.
I have a screenshot of the inner column responsive settings I’m trying to use here, followed by the row that I’m working on: https://gradycreative.com/development/3d-two/index.php/working-page/
Thank you!
Hey sabgrady!
Unfortunately, that’s not a built-in option. You would need to create a CSS rule to set that independently of both other neighboring viewports. You can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab to achieve the column number you’re after:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 691px) {
#ajax-content-wrap .vc_col-md-4 {
width: 33.3%;
}
}
Kind regards
A CSS solution is great, thanks so much! It’s actually “width:50%” that I’m going for to get 2-columns on tablet portrait. I just added to my test page and it worked like a charm. Thanks again, and especially for responding so quickly, I truly appreciate it.
You’re welcome, sabgrady!
Hide you enjoy the weekend 
How to make header transparent on blog posts? Isnt working at the moment this solution. I’ve tried everything an searched all the previous comments about this.
Oh just added body #header-outer {background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);}. and it fixed this problem.
Hey again Justinasmi,
CSS is not needed to have a transparent header. The transparent header effect will automatically apply to single blog posts as long as you
1. Have the effect enabled in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab:
2. Have supplied a featured image for your post: https://ibb.co/QYj9NqZ
If you already have that enabled, please share your site URL so that I can take a look.
Kind regards
Hei, yup, ive testedt it but idnt worked, probably because of my PHP 7.4 
Hey Justinasmi, Salient is fully compatible with PHP 7.4—If you would like to open a ticket in regards on the support forum, I would be glad to help out further with this item: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks
Is it possible to import this demo tamples silent options ? I know i can add different parts of it as you mentione earlier, but what is the options and fonts and other options are? http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.103574471.610378283.1673872015-358230920.1673872015&_gac=1.122921593.1674040407.CjwKCAiAzp6eBhByEiwA_gGq5AOfxXOE0xlwTHVSSQjJzVAEbyHBahTaKpYOQJpPRKF2eZXuhAUz-BoC8hUQAvD_BwE
Hey Justinasmi,
Since that is not an actual demo, there’s no included demo file to get the theme options. If you would like an export of them, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Thanks in advance
hi how do i delete the subtext in the menu? like “the tale of the company”. Been looking like crazy 
Hey yannickpeeters,
Are you referring to this field? https://youtu.be/6m7XloEHqWQ?t=158 If not, please share your actual URL on the support forum so that we can assist further.

Hello,
I want to ask if it is possible to import specific pages from a demo.
For example i have uploaded all the content from the X Demo, but i want the contact page from the Y demo.
Thank you.
I got the solution from the salient templates, nevermind 
Hey artwarebranding, I’m glad you found what you were looming for 
Cheers
Hello and have a nice day In your wonderful theme there is an element called – Images with hot spots, where I can’t find few settings.
1) how can I reduce circle size of hotspot (with plus or number) and also size of plus and number or make them oval
2) is it possible to make hot spots on mobile look the same way as on desktop ? I don’t have enough experience to make it that way. If not the same – so close to desktop. Some of hotspots opens up way too low, so u can’t even close it. Especially if image with hotspots placed at the bottom of page. Then hotspot image travel with user or stay at the bottom. it would be great if hotspot would open in the middle of screen or top – mobile.
3) didn’t find line to change font type In hot spots.
Hey raffess,
1. You can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.nectar_image_with_hotspots[data-size=medium] .nectar_hotspot {
transform: scale(0.6);
}
2. By default, hotspots will open in a modal on mobile. Have you already tried to alter that in your own setup? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a closer look at your setup to assist.
3. Hotspots can contain heading tags or regular (body) text—both will inherit from your typography settings in there Salient options > Typography > general html elements tab
Thanx I was able to modify most of the things , which I needed
Hi Salient team, I just wanted to let you know that I have been using salient for quite a while, and this is simple a small feedback, I will have to soon change to elementor due to the ability to have dynamic fields, which is something that has become quite overwhelming and overcomplex with wpbakery, I hope that one day you guys could include the ACF feature of dynamic values.
Regards
Hey thekayzer1,
I appreciate the feedback/request—I’ve noted your +1 for the item on the wishlist 
Kind regards
Weird issue after theme update; On page load the “Transparent Header Navigation Color” is correct, but after scrolling down and then up again the “Transparent Header Navigation Color” is set to dark and the dark logo and icons are shown. It’s on this page: https://foodstijl.nl/. Hope you can help, Kind regards.
Hey Foodstijl,
You can correct that by editing the first row you have in that page to be “Light” for the “Text Color”—the row which contains only a “Divider” page builder element.
Kind regards
How do I remove the date on the blog posts? I don’t want to just hide it as I don’t want Google to find it in the page source either. https://www.prepsos.com/blog/
Also, how do I turn on pagination for the blog? The main page is getting too long. Thanks!
Hey MikeMurphyINC,
1. The theme option “Remove Single Post Author” in the Salient options > Blog > Post meta tab will fully remove the date on your blog header e.g. https://ibb.co/1MVfP91—are you referring to another area?
2. The page you’ve linked ( https://www.prepsos.com/blog/ ) is using a “Recent Posts” page builder element which does not offer pagination. If you’re trying to add pagination from a page builder element, you’ll need to use the “Blog” element or the “Post Grid” element, if you would prefer a load more button.
If you’re instead trying to add pagination to your automatically generated archive blog pages, that is determined by the number you specify for “Blog pages show at most:” in the WP admin > Settings > Reading tab.
Kind regards
1. Great, thanks. 2. I remember now why I went with recent posts. It’s because it displays an excerpt, the other two page builder elements you mentioned either display the full post or no excerpt. Maybe I need ti tweak more settings? I would like for it to look like the recent posts that I have.
Hey MikeMurphyINC,
Both the Blog and Post grid elements allow the option to display the excerpt—the Post grid is the newer of the two elements with many more configuration options though. Replicating your recent post style in the Post grid could be done with the following element options:
General settings- Pagination: Load more
- Columns: 3
- Lock Aspect Ratio to Image Size: On
- Image Aspect Ratio: 3:2
- Display Categories: On
- Display Excerpt: On
- Grid style: Content Under Featured Image
- Text color: Dark
Kind regards
Hi there, I’ve tried that but it still doesn’t look very good. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see: https://www.prepsos.com/blog/
I couldn’t find a setting for “Image Aspect Ratio”
Also, it’s not displaying any excerpt even though display excerpt is on. The title is larger and category is above the title instead of below and the padding is larger under the photo. Also, there isn’t true pagination, just load more. Is there not a true pagination option?!
Hey again MikeMurphyINC,
1. What version of the Salient Core plugin are you using? It’s possible that if you’re on an older release, the option for “Image Aspect Ratio” wouldn’t be available.
Also, there are options for the font size, spacing between columns, and category position. If you would like assistance configuring those in the element, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
2. The post grid only offers a load more button for the pagination—you’ll need to use the “Blog” element instead if you would like a numbered navigation.
Kind regards
