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,
Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can take a look into your setup.
Thanks in advance
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
If you need further assistance with this, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
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 
Hi there,
Congrats on the latest release!
Any way to reverse the “Scroll Opacity Reveal” of the “Split Line Heading” element? I’d like for it to start at full opacity and fade once scrolled down. Thanks!
Thanks, Romanesco!
Unfortunately there’s no built-in functionality to reverse that effects as of now. The calculations are only designed to reveal in the manner displayed in the demo. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist 
Thanks!
You’re welcome, Romanesco 
Is it possible to make a video parallax background on header like https://www.livesurface.com/ please? It’s working only for image background…
Hey romankac, there’s no built-in option to parallax the video BG layer inside of a row/column background in the current release. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Kind regards
Hi Phil,
as always the new update rocks so hard and looks extremely fresh. Huge congrats on this. You simply shake it up every time. After 10 years (and using it for every customer that I have) still the best theme hands down if the user has the eye for details and love for design <3
I have a small question regarding an item in the main menu that is not clickable (Partially available). I was wondering if there is a way to move only this item completely to the right side of the menu (to the edge of the website but still inside the div that holds the content. Not full width) but leave it on the same height as the rest of the navigation (About me, Work, Blog, Contact). I tried it with custom CSS but didn’t manage to do it and wasn’t sure if Im missing something?
Again thank you so much for your work and numerous times that you helped me out with some customizations.
https://www.gurskydesign.comHey TheChuckOne, thank you so much for your kind words and feedback!
You can make that change by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
#top nav > ul {
width: 100%;
}
#top nav > ul li:last-child {
margin-left: auto;
}
#top nav > ul li:last-child a {
margin-right: 0!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you so much again for the quick help… Unfortunately a small issue popped up and the main menu items (on the left) are not clickable anymore… I tried to tweak the css but it didn’t work
Is there maybe an “a” missing somewhere?
Again thanks a lot in advance
You’re welcome, TheChuckOne 
You can modify the snippet as follows to fix that:
#top nav > ul:not(.buttons) {
width: 100%;
}
#top nav > ul li:last-child {
margin-left: auto;
}
#top nav > ul li:last-child a {
margin-right: 0!important;
}
Thanks again so much! Everything works as it should now! You’re the best <3
Hi,
after updating to v 16 the homepage does not work and this error is displayed – what to do?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /usr/www/users/architnny/new/wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/global-sections/display-options.php on line 587

Hey vik_, an error like that should only occur if you were using a very outdated version of PHP. Can you confirm that you’re on v7.3 or higher? The minimum recommended version of PHP for the WordPress is 7.4.
Kind regards
Thanks for the quick help – I changed the PHP version – now everything works.
You’re welcome, vik_ 
Congrats on the new version! Look forward to having a play
Thanks so much, ND81!
After the latest update, the infinite scroll function seems to be not working anymore, previously my blog posts were loading in archives without any issue, now it is not. I tried without any plugins and still issue exists. Is this a bug in the recent update?
Hey noo-studio, that issue should be corrected via the minor release, v16.0.1.
Kind regards
Perfect. I love your theme and it’s the best one ever! Before I had to purchase different themes, now as a designer who can customize based on the clients, yours is the one that I always use! Thank you so much for your fast reply and continue doing the magnificent work. Love it, the possibilities of creativity and overall functionality. Love it!
It’s so great to hear your feedback, noo-studio! I’m glad I could help 
Cheers
It is normal that there are some small things that pop up. There is one more detail that seems to be affected by your recent update:
swiper-bundle.min.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘grabCursor’) at i.enable (swiper-bundle.min.js:2:67246) at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1:9507) at Object.emitEvent (jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1:3171) at b (jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1:14132) at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1:5190) i.enable @ swiper-bundle.min.js:2 (anonymous) @ jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1 emitEvent @ jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1 b @ jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1 (anonymous) @ jetpack-carousel.min.js?ver=12.3:1
— since the update, the functionality of the Jetpack Carousel Gallery is broken also, was working yesterday, so there is something in the swiper-bundle.js which is a part of the jetpack, but seems to have issue.
Is that related to your update? https://kidspattern.com/color-palette/fall/autumnal-opposites/ Thanks! PiotrOk, I found it, its connected to delay javascript execution part in your theme settings, previously it did the same with infinitescroll, now it affects the jetpack gallery. Its a tricky one to implement. I switch it off for now. One version of that script that makes my website fast is the Flying Script Plugin — it moves them without error, I was falling back on that to prevent render blocking. I guess there is always room to make some improvements. :)Thank you again for amazing work and looking forward to purchasing your theme again. Best of luck!
Hey Piotr, thanks for letting me know—i’ve noted to test compatibility between that plugin and the theme option.
Cheers
BRAVO on version 16! Always appreciate the work that goes into each new release. And love the new features!
Thanks a lot, mikedubs! Glad you dig it 
it’s update time. noyce.
I love the new landing. If i can make a small remark; the new layout is nice but i think it could be nice to add another post layout variation to add visual rhythm. that’s my 1am input.
Hey, basilroland!
I’m glad you like it 
I appreciate the feedback—It’s also worth noting that there are numerous layout variations that have been made possible in v16, which are not showcased in the Mag demo.
Cheers
How would you recommend getting a list of Call to Action element buttons to display in two columns on mobile? Without using columns. They display five wide on desktop and four wide on tablet but only one across on any mobile.
Also a request to add font family options to the call to action element
Hey MarcGarner,
1. That would require custom CSS. If you’d like to open a ticket on the support forum with your page URL, we would be glad to assist.
2. The call to action will inherit the font settings which are associated from the selected “Display Tag” in the settings i.e. h1-h6 + body. However, I’ve also noted the idea you’ve suggested.
Kind regards
if I’m on the /shop page and I use the quick view to add a product to the cart, the site updates to the product page, it’s possible after adding that I stay on the same /shop page without redirecting the page ? (just adding the product to the cart )
Hey Tresmeiazero,
You can get that functionality by enabling the theme option “AJAX Product Template Add to Cart” in the Salient options > WooCommerce tab.
Kind regards
Is there any plan to move or create a version of Salient for Shopify? They continue to develop their platform at an astounding rate and Woocommerce seem unable to keep up with the features or pace of development.
Hey MarcGarner, we do not currently have any plans to move to Shopify.
Kind regards
Can you confirm if salient is currently comparable with the new woocommerce block based cart and checkout blocks? The cart page looks quote ugly when we try it on a dev page. The products are displayed in a grey table which looks dated, formatting and spacing isn’t that great – https://ibb.co/GkHqV7m
Hey MarcGarner, Salient does not provide additional styling explicit to the WooCommerce cart block, so what you’ll see in the current release will be just the core native styling + Salient table styling.
Kind regards
Is there any plan to add additional styling to the new cart and checkout blocks?
Hey MarcGarner, we already added in some additional styling fixes for the Cart block since you initially posted that comment. It’s still an item on the wishlist to have a more in-depth pass through the blocks though.
Kind regards
