Hello Phil, I hope you are doing well!?
Thank you for the new version, once again, beyond expectations and a very nice new demo. Congratulation!
On a different note, I discovered what I believe to be a small issue with a WooCommerce element / the Salient WoCommerce Products template (see https://paste.pics/OUBQ1). So, when you click on the number two, the page is refreshed and you go at the top of the page, and not directly where the products are presented. Which is not a good user experience. I had never tested this function before. So I opened a help ticket but was told that this is how this model works. I sincerely believe that this little problem should be corrected. You can test yourself directly from this address if you wish: https://dev1.barreoblique.ca/#phil
Thanks in advance and thanks again for version 16!
Hey barreoblique, thanks a lot! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 
That page builder element is just a alias for the core WooCommerce products shortcode
Unfortunately, the core products shortcode offered by WooCommerce does not have logic in place to do a hash link to the element when changing pages. This can be tested by switching to the default theme and using it e.g.[products limit="3" paginate="true"]However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Kind regards
Hi Phil. Thank you for your answer. I will try to find an alternative. Btw, I sent you an email regarding the French version of Salient. Left unanswered. I know you’re busy and it’s not urgent at all, but when you have time, don’t hesitate to answer me. Have a nice day!
You’re welcome, barreoblique. I apologize about missing that email—during the last week leading to v16 we were beyond slammed!
Kind regards
Yes, I understood that! It must be a very big effervescence! 
Indeed, barreoblique!
Hi, do you have any plans to add the design options to the responsive text block like you have on the normal text blocks? Or is there another way to easily adjust the margins etc?
Hey tricks28, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist. For now, I would recommend using the parent column settings to handling the spacing.
Is it possible to change the order of the social icons in the secondary menu and the footer?
Hey tmudd89,
You can by copying the function “nectar_get_social_media_list” to your child theme from /salient/nectar/helpers/header.php and modifying the order as needed.
Kind regards
I am able to make the change by editing it directly on the helper header.php but I am not able to get it to work using a child theme. Is there something special I need to put in the functions.php file in my child theme that I might be missing?
Hey tmudd89, are you copying the “nectar_get_social_media_list” function from the file and placing it into your child theme? If so, ensure that you’re also not including the wrapping check for
if ( !function_exists('nectar_get_social_media_list') )
Kind regards
Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to add links to circle images when there are multiple in 1 row (i.e. for social media links)
https://chrisgrenier.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screenshot-2023-07-20-at-2.22.21-PM.pngthanks!
Hey svtmuscle@
Unfortunately there’s no built-in option for that functionality within the circle images element—in the current version, they are intended to function as a design element.
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.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/classes/core/access/class-vc-current-user-access-controller.php:204 Stack trace: #0 /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/classes/core/class-vc-manager.php(507): Vc_Current_User_Access_Controller->getAllCaps() #1 /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/helpers/helpers_api.php(184): Vc_Manager->editorPostTypes() #2 /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ts-visual-composer-extend/assets/ts_vcsc_registrations_variables.php(10): vc_editor_post_types() #3 /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ts-visual-composer-extend/ts-visual-composer-extend.php(456): require_once(’/home/customer/...’) #4 /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plug in /home/customer/www/embeephotography.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/classes/core/access/class-vc-current-user-access-controller.php on line 204
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
Cheers
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?
Where I can change category design to look like here? https://themenectar.com/salient/mag/2023/07/11/the-role-of-social-media-in-shaping-society/
Hey Fixedman, in Salient v16+ you can change you can settings in Salient > Blog > Archive header via the field “Blog Archive Header Type”
Kind regards
Thank you.
Hello, where I can find settings for Salient Social plugin?
Hey Fixedman, the settings for that plugin are located in the WordPress customizer: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-social-plugin/
Kind regards
Can’t see the setting for category label in blog posts https://coffeewithdamian.com/blog/holy-hill-wisconsin/
Hey Fixedman,
Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can continue assisting with these items
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

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
