I like your theme. But I have one question is that what if I wanted to put a search input field in the header, how can i do that?
Hey yydad117, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Salient 
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in option to place an input field inline next the menu items. The Salient search requires a click of the search icon to be relieved—that option is located in the Salient options > Header navigation > header search tab. If you wanted to create a custom input form directly in the header, you would need to handle that via a child theme.
Kind regards
When I update the Salient WPBakery Page Builder my site has this error. The other files of the new version seem fine.

Hey kitkana84, “wp_get_current_user” is a core WordPress function so it would seem that your installation may have errors. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can assist further.
Thanks in advance
Any way to add product meta while using Custom Loop Builder – mostly I need the price 
Hey expromosc!
You can use one of the available hooks to add custom data in via your child theme. For example “nectar_post_grid_item_content_markup_before”.
https://pastebin.com/zA3BPynGKind regards
That’s amazing – thank you – will manage that with no problem. Is there any documentation for the hooks? On-line or in code?
Hey expromosc,
We have a list of theme action/filter hooks listed in the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/developer-docs/#hooks However, we don’t have a general tutorial on how hooks work. If you’re looking for a general tutorial on hook. I would recommend this article.
Kind regards
Thanks for posting that for anyone else who may come across it, expromosc

Hey guys
We’ve realised our site logo doesn’t display on mobile? we have a mobile menu assigned in the theme settings… any ideas? link is https://packagingsupplyshop.co.uk/
Hey BlueDolphinBusinessDevelopmentLtd,
That’s occurring because of your custom CSS code that’s altering the menu. You’ll need to remove this:
.col.span_3 {
display: none;
}
And also the background color would need to be removed in this custom rule:
.mobile #top .col.span_9.col_last {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-evenly !important;
height: 70px !important;
width: 100% !important;
align-items: center;
background-color: #fff;
}
Kind regards
The new Demo is beautiful and feels fresh, well done. By the way, you should update your thumb with a big 16 to get more exposure. 
Thanks so much for your kind words, isoarts! 
Cheers
Hi, for some reason our related products say ‘read more’ when hovered, is there an easy way to change this text so it can read something else?
Cheers
Hey Micatuca,
That’s the default WooCommerce text when a product is unavailable to purchase. You can alter it by translating it via a translation plugin or by using a snippet in your child theme.
Kind regards
Cheers ThemeNectar, as a follow up to that, I forgot the main point. Is it possible for this button to display by default without having to mouseover it?
No worries, cheers
Glad you got it sorted, Micatuca 
Hi ThemeNectar, I forgot the main point. Is it possible for this button to display by default without having to mouseover it?
Hey, could you kindly share your page URL so that I can see which product settings you’re using to assist with that?

Kind regards
Thank you.

At romankacerek.cz/novy I have a CSS class set:
@media (max-width: 689px) .nectar-post-grid-item-bg-wrap { width: 110%; margin-left: -5%; }
however after updating from 15+ to 16.0.1 the mobile image doesn’t stretch to full width? At the same time, CSS works in the tag/label – romankacerek.cz/novy/stitek/technologie/
Hey romankac,
I’m not seeing a post grid on the URL you’ve shared—is it perhaps in a subpage?
Kind regards
Its working before update. However, I make a CSS change for mobile padding (there was no options for it – I mean left/right padding area) so,
1. can you have a tell me please a CSS code for: “if mobile with max width, then make a width 100% for images (just portfolio grid and blog posts grid).
2. Why did the css specification for perex text in the blog post listing change at the same time? The font was smaller after the update…
@media (max-width: 689px) .nectar-post-grid-item-bg-wrap { width: 110%; margin-left: -5%; }
Not working…
Hey romankac, Can you kindly share the actual page URL where you’re using a post grid that you’re trying to expand to be full width via CSS. I would need to see your element and site settings in order to provide an accurate css rule. As I mentioned, the URL you previously shared does not seem to contain a post grid on the page for me to check on the custom CSS.
OK, I removed all the custom CSS from https://www.romankacerek.cz/novy/portfolio1 and set it only for https://www.romankacerek.cz/novy/portfolio2
@media (max-width: 689px) .nectar-post-grid-item-bg-wrap { width: 110%; margin-left: -5%; } as you see in “Portoflio2” not working…
For mobile I need set up width of images (in portfolio list and blog post list) to 100% without padding and radius.
Thanks romankac,
Your CSS is fine, you’ll just also need to add the following rule:
.nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item .inner {
overflow: visible;
}
Perfect, it’s working now! Thank you!
You’re welcome, romankac 
The question is removed sorted out. It was necessary to update the Custom Slug
Hi! I can’t understand why there is a 404 error when switching to a project from the portfolio. http://test.landy-land.ru When creating a new page, also 404
Hey DonVlado, I’m glad you were able to sort it out 
Kind regards
Looks good! I tried Salient Mag, but the caption +alt text function does not work. No template for posts that can be easily configured.
Best regards, MG
Hey MG, i’m glad you like the design 
I’m not sure what you’re referring to with either of those points specifically. The post loop builder, which is used to create most of the Mag sections, does support the use of an alt tag. If you’d like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards with further information about what you’re looking for assistance on we would be glad to help out.
Cheers
Example when you open a post on : https://themenectar.com/salient/mag/2023/07/05/revolutionizing-the-way-we-use-applications/ Post featured image has no alt and no visible description of image.
Hey VitaFlowers, we don’t set alt tags for our demo websites as they are just examples and not fully SEO optimized. However, I just added one on that post you’ve linked to demonstrate it’s possible.
There is no built-in option to display a caption under the featured image on a post though. You would need to add that manually via the page builder.
“You would need to add that manually via the page builder.” sound charmy, where is this dreamy place? The question is about “posts” not “page”! There an option to set template/s for Posts not pages? Thanks!
Hey VitaFlowers, The page builder is still available within posts. You could enable the option to “Hide Featured Media on Single Post” in the theme options, and then manually add your image using either the Salient WPBakery page builder or the WordPress block editor.
Kindly open a ticket on the support forum if you would like further assistance with this.
Thanks in advance
As we know, Wordpress has built in fields for Image/Media (Alt, Title, Caption, Description). All these fields make work with media more easy for us and comfortable for visitors. Option to turf off Alt, Title, Caption, Description can be, and can be called extra option. Sorry, creating every post with WPBakery is not comfortable. I know every customer has a vision and thinks it’s important, but at this point it’s not a kind of “request of feature” , there is a downgrade of options that Wordpress have built in. Have an idea to use a template.
Thanks
Thanks for the additional feedback, VitaFlowers.
Like I understand, there is no solution or fix?
If you wish to query for the caption associated with your featured image and output that underneath the featured image on the single post template, you would need to do so through your child theme as it’s not a standard option in the current release.
There’s an action hook which you can use to easily attach custom data to that area: “nectar_after_single_post_featured_media”
Hi Guys! I just installed version 16.0.2 awesome update as always! How can I use the new Prebuilt Website MAG (blog) It’s not available through the Demo Importer or the Template Importer… How can I replicate it? Thanks
Hey mxbrnl, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the update!
You’ll see the demo show up once you’ve updated your Salient Demo Importer plugin to the latest version (1.6).
Cheers
You are absolutely right! I don’t know why I didn’t notice them. Thank you very much! Cheers!
Hello! Is it possible to install a theme first on a test site, for example, test.mydomain.com, and then transfer it to the main one, mydomain.com? If yes, how to do it?
Hey mmkolosova! You are allowed to install Salient on local setups or staging areas prior to using it on your official site. Just keep in mind that you’ll need one license for every live deployment on a domain using Salient.
Kind regards
Hello,
I’m contacting you because I’m having a problem displaying polylang in the “Secondary Navigation Menu” on Mobile. I’ve checked that the item persists on mobile but for some reason it doesn’t appear (whereas it does on PC).
I may have found this: https://polylang.pro/doc/my-flags-are-not-displayed-on-mobile-devices/ but I don’t know if this is what’s causing the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help
Hey MAJMonaco,

Hi,
After the update on V16 on the mobile menu between the left menu and the right hamburger menu is now a big gap, and there is no WPML language switcher like it was before
Hey topd4, Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your actual URL so that we can take a look to assist.
Thanks in advance
Hi team, we are facing an issue. The mp4 videos are not playing at all on iOS devices.
https://mmtest.mysterymonks.com/homepage-new-version/There are 4 videos that you can see after scrolling down. They are not playing at all on iOS devices.
Hey adiojack, it looks like in the mobile versions of the videos you’ve supplied .webm file types instead of .mp4 versions. I would suggest trying to switch to also use .mp4 instead of .webm for mobile to avoid having to troubleshoot possible encoding issues with your .webm files.
Kind regards
Hey, you have rows that are specific to mobile which are using the webm file type—only your desktop videos are set to use mp4 versions, which is what you were showing in that video. The mobile row has the id “mm-features-videos-mobile” https://ibb.co/Tks5kkB

Just to let you know I have found that force transparency on headers is not working now after the new 16.0.2 update if you are using your own built header section directly on the page i.e. not a global header. It shows the full header bar with the colour you have selected in the header options and padding. Not sure if this is a known issue?
Hey piperhowie, can you kindly share the relevant page URL so that I can take a look at your setup?
Thanks in advance
HI sorry for the delay i was away on business. Here is the dev site with the new 16.0.4 update https://www.choir.designedbyhowie.co.uk/ Here is the live site with version 15.1.1 https://www.nccgb.com/ Both have the same plugins the only difference being the updated salient version. If you inspect the newer version compared to the older version you can see all these functions and the class are not loaded in: data-transparent-header=”true” data-transparent-shadow-helper=”true” data-remove-border=”true” class=”transparent”. I have tried to create a new page but the same thing happens. Hope this is enough info for you to see the issue. Regards John
Found the issue if anyone else is having this problem. The problem was caused by Yoast breadcrumbs, to fix it you need to turn off “Enable breadcrumbs for you theme”. I have mine set up as a shortcode so i don’t need this enabled but other people who need this might be facing this issue of elements not loading in so its maybe something you need to take a look at in the next update. John
Hey John, thanks for the clarification. V16 of Salient did add in an intentional filter to remove the transparent header effect specifically when the Yoast breadcrumbs are active. This was added because, in most setups, the breadcrumbs were appearing under the header navigation while the transparent header effect was still active. You can opt to remove that by using the following snippet in your child theme functions.php file:
salient_yoast_breadcrumbs_transparent_header_mod($effect_active) {
return $effect_active;
}
Kind regards
Ok thanks, good to know for the future. 
Did I miss something? Most templates I tried are just one page templates and links don’t work. For a WP template? I don’t need WP for that, a simple static page will do. And if it’s really for WP, why can’t you provide some decent templates on which things work? For an award winning design, ...? Didn’t sell me.
Hi guys, thanks for the update! Looks awesome….
I have a question: https://design.ruimdenkers.nl/kostverlorenhof
Is there a possibility within Salient to make the three blocks ‘round’? And not square? Under the header I made three blocks. (PLATTEGROND – WIJ ZIJN GEOPEND – EVENEMENTEN)
Hope you have a nice solution to my problem.
Cheers!
Thank you, ruim_denkers!
You can use the “Border Radius” option inside of your column settings to set rounded corners: https://ibb.co/BLHc46q
Kind regards
Hi, thanks! Is it possible to make it perfect round?
https://design.ruimdenkers.nl/kostverlorenhofThis is the best i get. Hope you have an solution for me!
You’re welcome, ruim_denkers 
You’ll need a snippet of CSS for that, as the column will need to be forced into a 1/1 aspect. Here’s a rule you can add into your custom CSS box to do that:
.home .top-level + .wpb_row .child_column .vc_column-inner {
aspect-ratio: 1/1;
}
.home .top-level + .wpb_row .child_column .vc_column-inner .column-bg-overlay-wrap {
border-radius: 300px;
}
Super thanks. It functions. I just can’t get the icon and the text centered. Is there a solution for this? And is it possible to slightly reduce these circles on mobile? That it scales.
Many many thanks!
Hey ruim_denkers,
You’ll need to modify the previous CSS snippet to be as follows:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.home .top-level + .wpb_row .row_col_wrap_12_inner {
padding: 0 15%;
}
}
.home .top-level + .wpb_row .child_column .vc_column-inner {
aspect-ratio: 1/1;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.home .top-level + .wpb_row .child_column .vc_column-inner .column-bg-overlay-wrap {
border-radius: 300px;
}
Awesome guys! Many thanks…. You make me happy 
Glad I could help, ruim_denkers
