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
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

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
Hey Shaladurim,
There is no known syntax error like that in Salient, if you’re sure it’s coming from the theme and not a plugin or customization you have made, can you please share the full error which includes the file and line number of the error?
Thanks in advance
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!
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.

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,

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
