Hi Salient team, I am unable to upload my logo into my header. I watched your youtube video and the navigation that I have in my “logo and general styling” tab is different from yours. The buttons are also different. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks in advance!

Hey sonofsocrates!

Are you receiving an error when attempting to upload the image or are you just not seeing it reflect on your website? If you’re using the transparent header effect, ensure that you’ve also uploaded those versions of your logo to the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab.

If you would like further assistance with this, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Cheers

No, I do not even have the option to upload. That field is empty.

I can see you’ve opened a ticket and have been responded to on the support forum, so we’ll continue with this over there.

Kind regards

Hi Salient Team, I noticed a small bug, or I’m doing something wrong without realizing (more likely the case). When using Split Line Heading and using 2em for both the size of the desktop and mobile versions, the text overlaps, doubling up on itself rather than continuing to the next line…

Hey AkeatsKes,

Have you specified a line height for the text as well? e.g. entering in a responsive unit-less size such as “1.4” should prevent that from occurring. If that doesn’t correct it, kindly share the page URL so that I can take a look to assist.

Kind regards

Hi. How can we have specific smaller version of side buttons in menu on mobile width. And how to use image as side buttons. This is the problem : https://imgtr.ee/image/IMG-4822.PPkoo I want to have smaller version of kickstarter logo image just for mobile : https://www.kickstarter.com/help/brand_assets?ref=global-footer

Hey rivija,

You can add the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab to alter the size of that button:

.nectar-mobile-only.mobile-header .menu-item a {
  font-size: 10px;
  transform: scale(0.7);
  transform-origin: right;
}

I would need to see your actual site URL in order to provide a snippet related to your kickstarter logo. For that, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.

Cheers

Hello, thank you so much for the new Salient 16 update. It works perfectly. :)

I want to ask you only about one thing. Namely Google Speed noticed me about following info – “Doesn’t use passive detectors to improve scrolling performance – We suggest marking touch and mouse wheel event detectors as passive to improve page scrolling performance. (wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.4)” – how can I fix it? I will be really grateful for quick solution. :) It will increase Google ratings so it’s so important for me.

I just sent you an email with more details. :)

Hey CreativePlace, I’m glad that you’re enjoying the latest release!

It’s not possible to easily remove that warning, as it’s related to jQuery, which is a core script of WordPress. However, even if you did the development to fix the warning, it would not yield any noticeable performance differences.

I would recommend instead focusing on improving your page scoring based on the documentation here.

Kind regards

Hi there,
Could you please add an Instagram Threads social media icon? Thanks!

Hey Romanesco, i’ve noted to add that in :)

Cheers

Hi, i have this error : Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in I’ve just installed the theme and I’m getting this error after a few days

from what I’ve found, it’s an error between the theme Salient and the PHP version. Which version is the theme compatible with?

if i update php to 8.0 i have this error : Warning: include_once(/home/clients/92fd4493d95b5344e95467ce61e34918/sites/testwebsite.ch/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/clients/92fd4493d95b5344e9sdgds5467ce61e34918/sites/testwebsite.ch/wp-content/advanced-cache.php on line 22

Hey Shaladurim, Salient has been compatible with PHP 8 for a couple of years now. We personally use PHP 8.1 for the live demos as well. As you using a relatively recent version of Salient (v14+)?

A lot of those warnings you’ve pasted are coming from other plugins as well as the core of WordPress. You should also ensure that you’re using a recent release of WP (v6.2+) and that you’ve updated all the plugins in your setup.

Kind regards

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!

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.png

thanks!

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,

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

If anybody else would be looking for code, this worked like a charm: https://pastebin.com/141KDBcM

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

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?

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/

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
