Hi! Is there any major Salient update coming soon? Hoping new features!
Hey dreiblau! Yes, we’re always in the process of working on the next big thing 
If you’d like to get early access to the beta once it’s available, I would recommend periodically checking back to the changelog as we place a banner there to access it during that time.
Kind regards
Hi. How can I change the order of the socials in the navigation menu? The problem is when facebook and linked in site together it says ‘Fin”.
I have had a look in the PHP documents, but wasn’t able to located the socials. Please can you help me change the order so it goes. Facebook, Instagram, Linked.
Here is the issue on the website.

Hey alexbirks,
You can copy the function “nectar_get_social_media_list” (located in salient/nectar/helpers/header.php) to your child theme functions.php file in order to alter the order of those.
Kind regards
Hi. Thank you for that. That has worked perfectly in the main navigation menu but it has not changed the order in the mobile menu. Where might I find that list? Thanks
You’re welcome, alexbirks
You should be able to correct that order by disabling the option labeled “Off Canvas Menu Add Social” in the Salient options > header navigation > off canvas menu tab. I know it seems strange—but turning that off will default to inheriting the same list as you have enabled in your top nav and keep the order.
Hey guys, can someone drop me the CSS to remove the spacing at the top/bottom of the single blog post pages? (looks like it’s roughly 50px at the top).
Also, earlier, I asked about creating multiple header/footer colors (theme builder kinda’ stuff). I was given a link to the child-theme and multisite process: https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-multisite/
Before I head down a rabbit hole and attempt to create a couple new headers, is it something you guys have done before? If it works, I’ll try it. If not, I’ll just make a sandwich instead, lol.
As always, thanks guys.

1. Add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
https://pastebin.com/jVgCv3ZqIf that doesn’t do the trick, kindly share your URL so that I can take a look at your current blog settings.
2. A multisite install will create separate instances of the theme, so you’ll be able to use completely unique sets of theme options for each instance.
Cheers
Thank you. I tried the code but no joy. It’s minor and NO RUSH at all so take your time. When you have time, you can find the page here:
https://bit.ly/40qlYj1Hey arteest, sorry about that!
For your setup you can instead use the following CSS snippet:
.single-post #ajax-content-wrap .container-wrap,
body .related-post-wrap[data-using-post-pagination=false] {
padding-top: 0;
margin-top: 0;
}
body.material .post .content-inner,
.single-post .main-content>.row {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
Enjoy your weekend
Hello, when I’m using WPML plugin to use multi language of salient. When transparency header is active, flags section not going transparent background. Is there anyone know why? https://imgur.com/hn6DB04 Screenshot of issue.
Hey ivanbelarus,
Try adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#top .wpml-ls-slot-63.wpml-ls-current-language,
#top .wpml-ls-slot-63.wpml-ls-current-language a {
background-color: transparent;
}
Kind regards
Hi there,
Is there a way to make the portfolio Post Grid crop inside the featured image? As in a snippet, I can adjust the crop until it works. I have a lower bottom watermark on my features, and I’d like to zoom in on the crop so that it avoids it in the grid. I’m using the portfolio Post Grid with Content Overlaid on the Featured Image style. Thanks!
Hey Romanesco,
Add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item-bg img {
transform: scale(1.3);
}
Kind regards
That’s perfect. Thank you!
You’re wecome, Romanesco
Hi, is it possible to show more than 3 – 4 items in a row on the shopping page? Would like to see 6 or even more.
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind. Found it!
Hey studioluttmer!
I’m glad that you found what you needed
For anyone else who may read this, you can alter this in the Salient options panel > WooCommerce tab, You can specify a custom column number (currently a max of 6) using the following options: https://ibb.co/S5Hb7Kc

Hi!
1) how can i change the Quote ”% was successfully added to your cart” when adding a product to the cart? I look into WPML but can’t find the string.
2) how can i add the Login icon near the shop icon? like here https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product/instant-wrinkle-remover/Thanks!
Hey agenturhochdrei!
1. The string iswas successfully added to your cart.And it exists within the “salient” text domain.
2. In the Salient options panel > Header navigation > layout & content related tab, you can enable the “Add User Account Button” option.
Kind regards
Hi. How can I have the active navigation text colour the same as the active underline colour. It seems I can only have one of the other in the settings. Many thanks.
Hey alexbirks,
You could achieve that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab: https://pastebin.com/t0nkzqCp

Hi, could you please advise how I can go about making 7 or 9 columns?
Hey tricks28,
You can start with the 1/6 column layout and then hit the ”+” button to add additional columns in the same row. They will appear under the other columns in the UI like so: https://ibb.co/KNbrXtD
You can then add a class to your row to style the widths e.g. “columns-7”. Lastly, you would then add the relevant CSS such as:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
html body .vc_row-fluid.columns-7 > .span_12 {
flex-wrap: nowrap;
}
html body .vc_row-fluid.columns-7 > .span_12 > .wpb_column{
width: calc(100% / 7);
}
}
Kind regards
That is EXACTLY what I was after – thank you! I opened a ticket and wasn’t offered this solution. Is there a reason for that?
Hey tricks28, that’s likely because there is no built-in way to achieve it, and the solution I provided was a workaround.
Kind regards
Its very much appreciated. I’ve wanted to achieve this on quite a few projects now. This and 9 columns crops up quite a lot. Thank you for the excellent support. This is one of the reasons Salient continues to stand out above the other themes and why I’m still buying it years down the line. Keep up the excellent work. Not sure if possible but it would be nice to see 7 and 9 columns added in a future release.
You’re very welcome, tricks28
I’ve noted the idea.
Cheers
Hey Im thinking to buy this theme but is there a astrology theme?? where client can book an appointment for consultation and make a payment??
Hey humashenoy10, Salient does not include any built-in functionality to handle booking appointments. You would need to use a third-party plugin to handle that aspect.
Kind regards
Hi, how can I download or apply the architecture demo? That particular template not available on the demo import options. Or maybe can you please let me know how to duplicate the hero for architecture? Thanks,
Please disregard I need to update my theme.
Hey storchia, yes—and after you update your copy of Salient, you will also need to update the Salient Demo Importer plugin to gain access to the latest set.
Cheers
Hi there. Is there a way to make the nectar slider style gallery swipeable on mobile? It seems to only have the option to tap on the image and open the gallery in a lightbox.
Hey wints77,
You would need to alter the click functionality to not open the Lightbox gallery within the image gallery settings: https://ibb.co/6mMzFH2

Hi,
Are there any plans for a new theme skin? Something totally different and unique?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101, we switched away from creating “skins” a few years ago and have instead opted to add design related options in a modular manner. Skins are essentially bundles of options assigned at the same time, and led to less flexible setups since they forced a set of options when someone might just be looking for one aspect of the skin.
That being said, yes, we’re always looking to add new design options that set Salient apart from the rest
Kind regards
Hi guys! I wanted to verify what PHP versions are supported and/or recommended. According to your support / ticket page 8.0 should be supported, however I have not found any relevant info in documentation or presale page.
Wordpress 6.1 adds compatibility up to the 8.2 version.
Thanks in advance!
Hey martinlatal_,
Salient is currently only tested up to PHP 8.1, but we will be adding support for 8.2 in the near future! WP 6.1 has only added beta support for PHP 8.2 rather than full support so you still may run into warnings from the core when switching to 8.2
Kind regards
What Im doing it wrong, im using “single image” and then section Image size “Custom”, then Im writing for example 90px, but it doesnt work to shrink the image to the size I prefer. What Im doing it wrong? https://ibb.co/Px2851K
Hey Justinasmi,
That field is intended to receive a registered WordPress image name e.g. “small”, “medium” etc. If you wish to provide a custom px size, you can use the “Custom max width” option lower down in the image settings: https://ibb.co/82FcbcC
Please use the support forum in the future when posting multiple questions: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks in advance
Works like a charm! Felling dumb right now that didnt thinked about max-width parameter, doh Thanks
You’re welcome, Justinasmi
Hello, is it possible to change SEARCH icon to for example lottie element or other icon I’ve made myself or at least to Font Awesome 6.00 one of the icons?
Hey Justinasmi,
You could swap the search icon for a custom one by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#header-outer .icon-salient-search:before {
visibility: hidden;
}
#header-outer .icon-salient-search {
background-image: url(YOUR-ICON.png);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
If you wanted to instead use a Lottie element, you would need to modify the function (nectar_header_button_items) which outputs the markup for that button via your child theme. The file which contains that function is wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/helpers/header.php
Kind regards
Thanks, will work on your suggestions. However, would be nice to have css for search to show the original size of the icon i chosed, because right now the new icon looks a bit blury. However, will see maybe will hande myself
Hey Justinasmi,
You could alter the snippet to be:
#header-outer .icon-salient-search:before {
visibility: hidden;
}
#header-outer .icon-salient-search {
background-image: url(YOUR-ICON.png);
background-size: 20px 20px;
background-position: center;
}
Hi support! Quick one: I found this thread that has a script for opening blog links in a new tab.: https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/1214615/
I’m using the classic layout style of the masonry blog (no sidebar) (div class is: post-content classic)
I tried to make your code work by adjusting to:
<script type=’text/javascript’> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { jQuery(’#post-area.masonry article.post.link a’).attr(‘target’,”_blank”); }); </script>
or
<script type=’text/javascript’> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { jQuery(’#post-area.masonry.classic article.post.link a’).attr(‘target’,”_blank”); }); </script>
But the links still open in the same window? Any ideas?
Thanks!
found a working script:
<script type=’text/javascript’> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { jQuery(’.post-header a’).attr(‘target’,”_blank”); }); </script>
Hey anton123, I’m glad you were able to find what you were looking for
Kind regards
Thanks guys, awesome theme!
In fact, ran into a slight problem: I went with the Postgrid (with filters) instead of the the masonry blog.
This script works for the visible posts under the Postgrid:
<script type=’text/javascript’> jQuery( document ).ready(function() { jQuery(’.nectar-post-grid-link’).attr(‘target’,”_blank”); }); </script>
The problem is when you filter the posts or load more (via pagination), they are not opened in a new window…
So the script only adds the target=”_blank” to visible Postgrid links.
Question, how can I edit the script to include all Postgrid links (I’ve tried adding a * with no luck)
Any help much appreciated, thanks!
Hey anton123,
You could use a MutationObserver for that like so: https://pastebin.com/Js9zGMEmKind regards
Thanks so much! It works great!
You’re welcome, anton123
Hi! Is there a way to make only the woocommerce pages (Archives + Product Single) boxed? While the menu and footer remain full width and the other pages too?
Hey SjoerdDooren!
Are you trying to mimic the styling of the “Boxed” Salient theme option? I.e. the box shadow around the site container? If so, it wouldn’t be possible without child theme modifications to enable that just for certain pages. However, a CSS only approach could be used to contain the content width on any given set of pages. Could you kindly share your page URL so that I could provide an example?
Kind regards
Is there a way to show the “View product” button below the product name and price as a button? Using the classic product style. Either via CSS or PHP?
Hey SjoerdDooren,
You could a CSS snippet such as the following to make that modification:
.woocommerce .product-wrap {
position: static;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li.product {
padding-bottom: 40px;
}
.woocommerce .classic .product-wrap .add_to_cart_button,
.woocommerce .classic .product-wrap .product_type_variable,
.woocommerce .classic .product-wrap a.button {
transform: none;
}
Kind regards
Hi, I am getting this error when uploading the site into the hosting server, “The “text” block was affected by errors and may not function properly. Check the developer tools for more details.”
Hey mahmoudy2k,
Since there’s no known theme-related issue that would cause that I would need to take a look at your setup in order to assist. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards. In the meantime, you can also check if using the classic widgets corrects that for you.
