Hello, I have a submenu with a dropdown, the issue is we have 2 level of drop downs so like this: - MAIN – Sub 1 – Sub 2
and the Sub 2 one is going off screen on around 1200 width. How can I make either: a) The white background container of the drop down smaller in width? (I’ve tried to change the width of .sf-menu>li ul from 20em to something different (as the container doesn’t have to be so wide), but the whole thing seems to break and then drop downs are one above other. Even if I change the fonts to smaller, the background container seems to stay the same size. It needs to not be made in mega menu, but within the salient theme.
b) Make the Sub 2 element position itself differently (not off screen).
Hey juvengle,
There should already be logic in place to align any dropdown which can’t fit on screen to the opposite right. Could you please share your actual page URL where that’s not occurring so that I can take a closer look into your setup?
Thanks in advance

Hi there. It seems that there’s an issue on Firefox whereby the off canvas menu doesn’t close when using ‘One Page Scroll Support (Animated Anchor Links)’.
The browser scrolls to the correct anchor link row on the page, but the menu remains open.
Is there a fix for this issue? (it seems to work correctly when using Chrome)
You can view an example here: http://s114866439.websitehome.co.uk/beautifuldigital/
If you click either ‘About’, ‘Clients’, or ‘Services’ in the menu, you will see what I’m referring to.
Thanks.
Hey speedofsound,
So far I have not been able to replicate that yet when testing in FireFox on your site. Could you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with a short video recording of what you’re expiring + the browser version you’re on?
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately my support period has expired, so I’m unable to open a ticket, but if you are still able to still assist, the Firefox version is 102.11.0esr (64-bit) and here is a link to a video showing the issue: http://s114866439.websitehome.co.uk/beautifuldigital/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/bd-menu-issue-vid
Many thanks.
Hey speedofsound,
Here’s what I’ve seen on my end from Firefox on Mac and Windows (latest versions). Have you been able to replicate that on more than one machine yet?
Ok thanks. Looks like it must be my browser version then. Thanks so much for taking the time to check at your end. I will attempt to test it on another machine as suggested.
You’re welcome, speedofsound 
I am struggling to find the simple dropdown thats user in this demo, https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-ultimate/
Its currently giving this popping animation that I don’t want. Can you advise how to get rid of that please? https://www.dmaestheticsltd.co.uk/skin-treatments/Hey SayWhenDesign,
Are you referring to the megamenu entrance animation on your “Treatments” menu item vs the demo “Shop” megamenu item? If so, that animation is controlled via the “Header Dropdown Animation” field in the Salient options > Header navigation > Dropdown/megamenu tab.
Kind regards
Hi, any way to put the clients display carrousel option more quicker the transition? thanks
Hey dimage,
I would suggest switching to the “Carousel” page builder element instead of the “Clients Carousel” to get access to the “Autorotation Speed” option. If you stick with the Clients element, you would need to modify the related theme script to alter that.
Kind regards
hi thanks, but wich is this Carousel?
Hey dimage,
Here is the “Carousel” page builder element I’m referring to: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/carousel/

Hello! I installed my theme without opting for Woocommerce but now I want to add it. I tried re-installing the theme but I still don’t see the plugin. Any recommendations on how to add WooCommerce at this point? Thank you!
Hey Ferlewels!
You can still install the WooCommerce straight from your plugins section in the WP admin anytime. Are you more so just trying to find the best way to import one of the Salient shop demos?
Kind regards
Hello! Thank you for your response! It got resolved by adding the woocommerce files directly into the plugin folder.
Glad to hear, Ferlewels 
Hey Jrm57! The anchor calculation is likely getting the distance from the top on occasion before some of your dynamic content such as the review widgets are finished loading in. The change in your page height from those items loading in could be causing that. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to ensure that does not happen unless a new event is created to recalculate the anchor location after the completion of all of those items.
The latest upgrade of Wordpress broke my install—I cannot add background images or delete them. Different sections of the Page Builder are non-responsive.
Hey blazoneer,
Salient has been tested with the latest version of WordPress and it’s way we use for the live Salient demos. Have you verified that no third party plugins you may have active are causing the conflict? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Thanks in advance

Self hosted video
Lightbox Trigger > YouTube Link
Video Preview Image > Added Featured Image
It’s not showing on the frontend, any suggestions? It was working 2 updated back, I thought you fixed it with the latest update – nope, still issue.
Hey Lateralus578,
If you’re trying to have a video Lightbox link without supplying any video to play in the preview area, you should use the video Lightbox element instead. That element uses a standard image for the preview and a video for the Lightbox link: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/video-lightbox/
Kind regards
hi guys, help me please
I noticed that when updating to (one of) the latest version, when the menu contracts on scrolling (Off Canvas Menu with the Header Layout “Menu Bottom Bar” alignment center), the menu icon and the ability to click it disappear. It worked before the update. Is there some new option to configure to be able to return to work as before? thanks!
Hey DieMan_!
I can’t seem to replicate that locally. Could you kindly share your site URL where that’s occurring so that I can take a look?
Cheers
Good morning guys. I would like to insert the possibility to activate and deactivate the audio on the background video. can you help me?
Hey plasmedia 
There’s no way to make that change to the background layer on rows/columns without modifying the underlying template file. I would instead recommend using the ”Self Hosted Video Player” element configured to autoplay with controls enabled. It could be absolutely positioned behind your content to simulate a BG layer.
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar. We are trying with self hosted video player. But first of all, we only need audio button. We don’t need to visualize the other controls. Secondary we think site is little bit slow with video self hosted instead of vimeo. I think you could update theme with this function in the next future
Hey plasmedia,
I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist 
Kind regards
Hi, I was responding to my ticket and on the best of times the license expired? How do we end the conversation?
Hey andreyellow,
I’m assuming you meant “continue” instead of “end” the conversation. If you would like to keep going on that ticket, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Hi! Only 1 question: in video URL of the “video lightbox” What YouTube URL string should I put to upload the video at the highest resolution possible, like 180p? Because it loads a bit grainy and I wanted it to start at the maximum possible resolution. It can be done?
Hey thebugbear,
Unfortunately the Lightbox script doesn’t allow custom parameters to be passed into the URL, as it only gathers the video ID from the link provided to create the ultimate display. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist 
Kind regards
Hi there,
Is there a way to make the WooCommerce bottom thumbnails slider gallery sticky?
Thanks.
Hey notcholas,
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 (min-width: 1000px) {
html body.single-product {
overflow: visible;
}
.single-product .nectar-prod-wrap {
display: flex;
align-items: flex-start;
}
.span_5.single-product-main-image {
position: sticky;
top: 80px;
}
}
Cheers
That’s perfect! thanks.
You’re welcome, notcholas 
Hello, I have a question for you… Do you by chance have any plans to use Elementor with this theme? I can see from the comments that there is a big update approaching and I am curious if you will ever move over to Elementor? Thanks.
Hey ummhumm,
There are no plans to integrate Elementor as of now, but I’ve noted your interest for that item on the wishlist.
Kind regards
Hello!
Loving the theme, however I’m pulling my hair on this one: why does the transparent header stay active even when I switched ‘Disable Transparency From Navigation’ on?
It’s only affecting some portfolio items, seems like a glitch as ‘force transparency’ is off as well. It’s causing some issues as the transparent header is overlaping the text
Hey dephixeb1, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Salient!
Can you please share one of your project URLs where it’s staying active so that I can take a look at your settings to assist?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’m interested in your theme for a car review/news site. I have a two questions before I buy though if that’s ok….
1. I will have several SINGLE images (not portfolio or slider) within each article (posts). Many of which will require a credit/attribution. Can each image automatically display its caption or description (from the media library fields) underneath the image or would this require a plugin or coding? (I’ve looked at all demos and can’t seem to find any examples of this).
2. In posts/articles is there a style/option to have the featured image size narrower so as to have the sidebar is alongside it? like this: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volkswagen/id3/first-drives/volkswagen-id-3-2023-first-drive
Thanks in advance
Hey OnlineMillionaire,
1. The single image element does not have that functionality built in, but the image gallery element does.
2. There’s no single post header which places the featured image inside of the content area like that. However, it could be accomplished via a modification from the child theme.
Kind regards
On my site: https://justemerveilleux.com/new-shop/ why is my woocommerce product category not showing on my homepage in Mobile view? Only blank spaces where product should show? I also had to code a lot of css to get the quick view buttons not scale over the product image, and there was no way to style this in the back-end?
Hey gustav939,
1. It looks like you have two different lazy loading options enabled—one from within Salient and another from your performance (wp rocket) plugin. One of those will be need to be disabled to prevent compatibility issues with image loading.
2. If your products are running out of space in the carousel display with your chosen column number on smaller screen sizes to display properly, I would recommend switching your column number to “Dynamic” in the element settings.
Kind regards
It’s still not working?? Switched off WP rocket and made it dynamic?
Hey gustav939,
Please ensure that you have the option “Lazy Load Page Builder Element Images” turned on in the Salient options > General Settings > Performance tab. That option is meant to be used in conjunction with the other WooCommerce specific “Lazy Load Shop Images” in The Salient options > WooCommerce > General tab. i.e. they should both be enabled or both disabled.
Kind regards
I was using sticky sub-menu in a row, but I want it to dissapear when he reaches footer or a particular place in one long one-site page. Is it possible? Becaue right now it is sticky until the ned of my website.
Hey Justinasmi,
Could you kindly share your page URL so that I can take a look at the setup to assist?
Thanks in advance
Is there a way to link to a portfolio grid that is pre filtered? For example on this page: https://www.dmaestheticsltd.co.uk/treatments/
Many thanks in advance
Hey SayWhenDesign,
There’s no built-in way to trigger a filter via a URL when using the legacy “Portfolio” element. However, you can get that functionality if you switch to using the Post Grid for the display. The URL format you could use with a post grid would be: https://www.dmaestheticsltd.co.uk/treatments/?grid=cosmetic-injectables
Kind regards

Thank You.
I have another question, how do i display youtube shorts videos in a video lightbox?
Hey fundingfashion,
There’s currently no support for YoutTube shorts in the Lightbox script yet. However, it will be added in the upcoming release. If you’d like to get access to that now and join the beta program, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
