Hi ThemeNectar,
1 Theme to this day!!!!
Question, if you visit: https://neileverosborne.com the Social icons in the navigation menu, right-hand side do a weird jump when you hover over them. Do you know how to remove that so the stay static but only change colour on hoverstate? Many thanks for your help.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
That movement is occurring due to custom CSS you’ve added into your child theme stylesheet. To completely remove the hover effect, you’ll also need to add in the following CSS:
body #header-outer #social-in-menu a:hover i {
transform: none;
}
Kind regards
Amazing thank you.
Out of curiosity, any chance you can share where in the custom CSS you saw the code that was controlling the movement?
Thanks again for all your help. Best, Alan
Hey Alan, the social icons move by default when hovered—see an example here, but the way they were moving weirdly was because of some of your custom rules such as the middle rule here: https://ibb.co/WHk6D89

Hello, im ready to rebuy this theme again. my client ask if all those features are able with your theme, or if a compatible plugin can do them please tell us which one: My client asks if this theme can do all of those features: - Infinity loading
- Mega menu
- back to top icon on botton right corner
- To be visible How many products exists on each product category
- shortcode to sow products on a specific category
- Banner with famous products
- on a single product page, to be able to have extra tab except “details” and “descriptions” with more details
- image or button that on mouse over shows some extra text in some way (like replacing the image with a text box)
Hey C_Drosos, All of those items are possible with Salient except for the “extra tab” added on WooCommerce single products. You would need to add that via your child theme or through a plugin.
Kind regards
Hi team! Salient is the best theme I have ever worked with.
The background homepage video doesn’t work on mobile, but it does work on desktop: www.vivaiomedia.com.
It’s a self hosted video and inserted the link in the MP4 field and WebM.
How can we fix this?
Hey lfranken, I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying working with Salient!
It looks as though you’ve supplied an .mp4 file to the .webm field. Doing that could cause loading issues on mobile devices, since the file type is mismatched. You actually don’t need a dedicated .webm file anymore to playback on mobile devices, so you can simply just remove that, leaving the .mp4 only.
Kind regards
Thanks, just did that and the issue still remains, what else could it be?
Hey lfranken,
I am able to see it load on mobile now from my end, however, some loads are taking longer than others to start playing. The video supplied is pretty large for a background video (19mb). I would suggest also compressing that to be under 4mb or ideally even smaller. Other than that, can you confirm that your mobile device does not have any power saving mode active? Power saving modes typically prevent videos from autoplaying.
Kind regards
Does Global Sections not work with full screen rows? It doesn’t seem to do so. Is there a specific way to turn them on globally? I have had a Child theme made and seems global sections dont work on single pages without full screen rows, but they do on the original one.
Hey juvengle,
Global sections assigned to theme locations will not render on a page set to use the “Page Full Screen Rows”. This is because pages in that mode turn into a vertical slider based solely on rows within the page builder. However, you can still call global sections as needed on a page using that option through the “Global Section” page builder element. e.g. https://ibb.co/CmLDjrm

Hi there, I’m using the 4 block widgets for my footer. I’d like just a little more padding on the left hand side of the first column. Is there CSS for this? Thanks so much.
Hey streetjen,
You can modify that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#footer-outer .row > .col:first-child {
padding-left: 30px;
}
XO As always thank you so much.
So… I’m having a hard time figuring out how to add my main menu to the 2nd panel in my footer. In the Widgets, I don’t see anything with this option. Thanks Jen
Also, I tried the same code to add space in the second column by changing first-child to second-child, but it didn’t work. Ideas? Thanks
Hey streetjen!
1. You should be able to use the “Navigation Menu” widget to call your main menu in that location. If you’d like further assistance setting up an example of that, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
2. The correct selector for the 2nd column would be:
#footer-outer .row > .col:nth-child(2) {
padding-left: 30px;
}
Kind regards
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome, streetjen 
hi, just sent you a privet email about the logo not displaying in the Menu.
Can you please see what the issue is?
Maybe a bug or setup issue.
Thanks
Hey toolbox101, I followed up in regards. Please use the support forum in the future for private requests.

Hi, I would like to create similar animations to those used on (Template Library, Visual Page Builder and Preimum Elements) http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=2.208098898.1718242795.1677579518-1089610841.1634295984&_gac=1.221222250.1677579518.Cj0KCQiA6fafBhC1ARIsAIJjL8mtzKfL1fuDT_Hi09hGWU-jVl-m5bAr2x8B92_8vzHHBS_Jqpa7tYgaAsthEALw_wcB and wondering what you used for those?
Hey shipux,
Those are short videos which were created in After Effects. We created some of the layers first in Photoshop and then exported to After effects for the animation.
The theme page builder element being used to trigger those videos to play by scrolling through each section is called “Sticky Media Sections”.
Kind regards
Hello.
I have an issue with the category sorting of my portfolios. They are just displaying 1 result (even if they supposed to showcase more).
The “post-grid” is working properly but I think it’s a server request.
It looks that the “category” is not correctly applied on the client side. Here is the link : https://dev.louiseverlaine.fr/test-port/
Thank you for the help.
Hey Eskilax,
Looking at the page markup, the category is missing from most of your projects. Because this isn’t a known issue, I would need to take a closer look at the backend in order to see if there’s anything that could be interfering with the Portfolio query. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Thanks in advance
how to hide breadcrumbs , and title page, and make header without white space with content ?
Hey tohapiliang,
1. Salient doesn’t add breadcrumbs by default. If you’re seeing those, they could be coming from an option within an SEO plugin such as Yoast SEO.
2. Can you share a page URL where you’re trying to remove the title so I can see what you’re referring to? I’m currently unsure if you’re referring to the post single template or regular pages within your site.
Thanks in advance
Hi. Is there a way to add a border above the footer widgets section? Many thanks.
Hey wints77,
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:
#footer-outer {
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
Kind regards
Hello. Have one question – how can i make buttons and social links hover like on this website – https://www.puntopago.net/ – i mean in the footer of the site there are social links and buttons to app store and google. Is it possible to make the same effect with salient? And also – two level buttons at all ? With title and subtiltle. Like in the link that i provided. Great thanx.
Hey raffess,
1. You can create social links by using the “Icon” page builder element, however, there’s no option to have them move depending on your mouse position like on that website.
2. There’s also no built-in option for a multi-line button, but you could add a second line with custom CSS if desired. If you’d like assistance with that, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Cheers
Hi there, we can’t figure out how to change the look, text, icon and link on the SaaS Header Button from the “SaaS Landing” demo.
Please help – Thanks
Hey NETZPUNKTE,
You can find the options associated with that link in your Appearance > Menus section in the WordPress admin.
You can select the menu which contains that link (SaaS Pull Right) and then use the Salient Menu Options to adjust the styling: https://ibb.co/P6T6Ssv
Here is the documentation on that feature: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/
Kind regards
Hi! I’ve a problem with the header search on mobile. it doesn’t let me search and I noticed that if I click it is as if there is the logo in front of it. maybe it’s a z-index problem? I would also like to ask you for help because I don’t want to show a project category that I created “team” in the search and in the search preview. I tried a code that I found here in the comments but it didn’t solve it. Thanks a lot
This is my url ddf.netsons.org
I fixed the z-index for header search on mobile. Now it works!
waiting for your help to exclude that category from the search
Thanks
Hey! Excluding a specific term from both the AJAX search as well as the core WP search results template would require PHP snippets to modify the query for each. Some possible methods to handle this for the core WP search are discussed here.
In regards to modifying the AJAX quick search, you would need to use the filter “nectar_quick_search_query” to modify the current query and pass in a custom tax query.
Kind regards
Google Search Console is warning me that my whole site has problems with bread crumbs, I have Yoast Seo installed but it doesn´t seem to be that plug in the problem. Any guess where I could also check? Thanks for your advice
www.4mentera.com
Hey pitiusasmarket,
Since Salient doesn’t add breadcrumb data by default, I would suspect it’s something coming from the configuration of that plugin. Could you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with more data about what the error is stating?
Thanks in advance
I´m trying to link a meny item to a certain section om my home page. How does that work (I can´t find where I put the CSS link in the specific section)?
Hey christoferberg,
You can add an ID to any row in the page builder which will correlate with your menu links: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#row-id
e.g. the row id “about” could be linked to by adding a custom menu item with the URL http://domain/#about
Kind regards
I’ve been searching for hours and gave up.
How can I change the background color of my ‘Sticky Menu’?
And It’s showing a ‘Permalink menu’ underneath my bar. How can I disable that?
Thanks in advance!
Hey studioluttmer!
Are you referring to the main header navigation bar at the top of your website? If so, the color scheme for that is control in the Salient options panel > Header navigation > Color scheme tab. The menu items displayed in your navigation bar are controlled from the Appearance > Menus section in the WP admin.
If you’re referring to something else, please share your website URL and a screenshot pointing to what you’re trying to alter.
Kind regards
Fixed. Thanks!
Glad to hear, studioluttmer 
One more question about the menu when I scroll down. I would like to see it in a gradient or a background image. Now I can only change it into 1 color and nothing more? Do you have a solution for that?
Hey studioluttmer,
There’s no built-in option to specify a gradient color for the header navigation bar. However, you could create that by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
html body #header-outer {
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #00a7ff, red);
}
Kind regards
Thanks.
One problem. It overruled the homepage where I’m using a transparant header.
And it shows a little bar underneath: https://pasteboard.co/lzbMgDIrjaKe.png
And as you can see in the image I’m using a green background of 1 menu item. Is there a way to change the text color of only this menu item?
Would like to see a white background of this menu item and a black text.
Hey studioluttmer,
1. You can alter the previous snippet to the following to only apply that gradient after the user scrolls down:
html body #header-outer:not(.transparent) {
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #00a7ff, red);
}
2. You can alter the button text color via the Salient menu options for your menu item: https://ibb.co/cg36w1x
Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards if you need further assistance with these items or for follow up questions
Kind regards
Thanks!
One last question about the menu. How can I make Icon show on the right side of the text?
You’re welcome studioluttmer 
You can use the following CSS snippet
#header-outer ul.sf-menu>li.menu-item-has-icon>a {
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
#header-outer header .nectar-menu-icon {
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
}
When I add a phone number into the social section for the icons inthe header/footer it links to a blank page do i need some code for it to work?
Same for the email does this need to be a mailto?
Hey Elliotj,
Yes, you’ll need to add tel: and mailto: to the beginning of your links if you wish for them to trigger the app functionality.
Kind regards
When adding a target=”” to an link in the team members’ description box the entire text disappears. (i am using the meta below style) you can test with with: this is a test text Click me. It shows when published, but the moment you add a target it does not show anything.
This is true for a couple of other text boxes in other components (too many to list here) a true drag to work with at this point and something the team should look out for. What is a fix to ensure links open in a new tab when using the team member modules or other components so I can use the target=”blank”?
I consider it a good practice to be able to allow links wherever we want, esp. using the target=”“feature ANY target=”” will disappear the entire text. its not just blank or _blank.
ps there is a typo in : Team Member Stlye
Thank you for your notes, fix and expertise.
Hey HokusaiTheDeveloper, WPBakery only allows custom HTML inside of fields that have the tinyMCE editor, and only one of those fields can be utilized per element—see textarea_html.
The team member uses that field for the “Team Member Biography”, available in the Meta Overlaid, Bio Modal style. https://ibb.co/G2NS7Q1
However, there is a workaround to allow WP to save HTML attributes correctly in regular fields. You must:
- Use single quotes instead of double quotes e.g. https://pastebin.com/gzRgUjAM
- Add the following snippet to your child theme functions.php: https://pastebin.com/QkBhd09B
- Ensure the Disable the visual editor when writing option is checked in your user account
If you need further assistance with this, please open a ticket on the support forum.
Kind regards
Hello there, I would like to use some WpBakery widgets in the footer, but when I go to Appearance – Widgets, I just see Gutenberg widgets options but no WpBakery options. Also, there is no option available in WpBakery settings to enable it win Appearance – Widgets. Please, how can I use Wpbakery widgets in Appearance—> Widgets? – Many thanks
Hey keidderf, you can disable the “Main Footer Area” in your Salient options panel > Footer tab and instead opt to create one using the page builder through Global Sections. Here is the documentation on that: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/
Kind regards
Hello there, thanks for your advice, nice workaround
– But what if I want to use WpBakery widgets in the Blog Sidebar? – Again, for this I only see gutenberg widgets available, and not sure who can I use Global Sections in Blog Sidebar? Is there any other workaround for this? Thanks
Hey keidderf,
There’s no built-in option to assign global sections to other theme-areas than what’s currently in the theme options panel. However, that will be greatly extended in the next feature-based release, and the sidebar will become an option as well 
Hi, thanks, that is great
– Any ETA for that? Regards,
Hey!
The public beta for the release will open sometime next month—likely towards the middle of the month. After we get enough testing/feedback it will officially get released. That process usually takes a few weeks.
Kind regards
Team member Element in mobile doesn’t have an image when tapped. Any way to have the image appear in mobile also?
Hey Wisdomlikesilence,
You can modify that 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: 690px) {
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .team_member_picture {
display: block;
height: 40vh;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
body .nectar_team_member_overlay .inner-wrap {
flex-wrap: nowrap;
height: auto;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
}
Kind regards
