Hello, if i have a banner image (full width) and I want a column block with for ex. blue bg color and some white text and a button.I want the column to be at the bottom overlapping the image. I also want the column to have crooked lines same as this website: https://www.share-now.com/nl/nl/. Is this possible within wpbakery or need custom css?

Thank you :) will open a ticket if I need more assistance

I tried what u said but which size do i have to use for an svg image. When I use an svg image its too big or too small. When I fix it on a desktop its not responsive at 1000 to 1500 px. advanced padding is not working for that part. It also not stay in the middle. I am using a inner row with 3 columns and only use the middle one.

Hey Mikel2020, I really would need to see your setup in order to give suggestions of that aspect. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can continue over there.

I want to use a newer version of the Font Awesome, I’ve downloaded their plugin and switched to pro version. But it seems like the old legacy font awesome css is loading and overwriting styles. How can I remove the old fonts? I’ve tried the enqueque style code provided on your website, but I want to do it on a main (not child) theme. How can I achieve that?

Hey juvengle,

It’s never recommended to edit the parent theme directly. Using a snippet from your child theme can still handle altering any script/stylesheet in the parent. FA could be removed from the parent by using this in the child: https://pastebin.com/KhLPRQss

Hi guys! Honestly I LOVE your theme, especially for the care in the design and I have used it for several years. However I currently have serious problems with loading times on my site, even though I use webP images and two types of caches (varnish, W3TC) I have tried 10 plugins to minify the CSS and JS without success. I can’t use W3 minification because it breaks the page (no matter the configuration). At this moment I have 5 seconds of waiting just for lack of minification. The theme is up to date and the page has just been refreshed from scratch. I don’t know what else I can do. Can you advise me how I can lower these times please? How do you achieve the loading times you have? The pages are similar in content. THANK YOU!

My server side: PHP 8.0 – HTTP/2 – SSD – Nginx (full hardware specs)

Hey mxbrnl, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying Salient over the years :)

Having a multi-second delay would not be caused by lack of minification—that sounds like something in your setup is putting a lot of strain on the server setup. I would recommend that you take a look through our performance optimization guide in the docs here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ and try to disable your third-party plugins to see if you can find any causing a performance issue.

If you’d like further assistance tailored to your setup, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your URL

Hey all, I wanted to customize the CTA button that appears under a Vertical Sticky Tabs section. What class do I need to target to say, add a border to the button? Thanks!

Hey thisoldhauser!

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:

.scrolling-tab-nav .nectar-cta .link_wrap {
  border: 1px solid red;
}

Kind regards

Thanks, you’re awesome!

You’re welcome, thisoldhauser :)

Would be great if under “Typography” > Navigation & Page Header > Default Theme Font Functionality – you could pull in the font into wordpress and host directly from the theme (server) without pulling it from google. For GDPR reasons. and no need to install another plugin or CSS anything for local font hosting.

Hey timtimtim, thanks for the feature request. We have opted to not include that functionality baked into the theme itself since a widely adopted solution already exists in the form of a plugin. However, I’ve noted the idea :)

Kind regards

That is one reason for the suggestion. One less plugin to install :-) Thanks and much appreciated.

Hello, please add native browser share button, plugin social salient is very basic. Question: Global section: In the footer I have a title with h1 or h2, it would be bad to repeat it for all the pages, can you have a different one per page? Like similar Elementor.

Hey MarceloTech,

Thanks for the request.

It’s generally recommended to logically order your heading tags, so an h1 in the footer area wouldn’t follow that guideline.

If you wanted to use a different global section on each page then you would have to do so by placing the Global section page builder element on each page.

Please use the support forum in the future when posting multiple questions so that we can correctly archive and assign them amongst the team.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I have to renew the support

What is the recommended PHP version for Salient v16?

Hey tonevski, Salient follows the same recommended guidelines as WordPress: Minimum 7.4, Minimum Recommended PHP 8.0. Currently, Salient also offers full PHP 8.1 compatibility as well.

Kind regards

Hi,

When using Text with Inline Media with Large Uncropped option, how can I make the image even bigger then what is default? I dont see custom size options.

Thanks

Hey toolbox101, the images will expand to size inline with whatever size text you’ve specified. If you want to push past that boundary, you’ll need to add in some CSS such as:

#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-text-inline-images__marker {
   line-height: 1.5;
}

Kind regards

Hi Phil,

I’m not 100% sure but I think I found a bug that wasn’t there before. It seems like the custom line width settings on the divider (small line) are broken and doesn’t work. Doesnt matter what value I type in, the width stays the same.

Here is an example of the line (gradient line in the upper section of the page) but it behaves like this even on a blank page with only just the line… https://www.gurskydesign.com/about-me/

Could you please take a look at it if it’s a bug?

There’s also some other weird thing happening lately and I’m not sure where it comes from. When I’m for example on the work or blog page the menu item is selected how it should be (underlined). Whenever I select a portfolio item or a blog item and open it, the menu item is not selected anymore (no underline). I’m pretty certain that it worked before… just can’t point it which version it was. Example: https://www.gurskydesign.com/work/1und1-app-icons/

Is it also some things on my end? or possibly also a bug?

Thanks a lot in advance <3

Hey TheChuckOne!

1. Make sure that you’ve included a unit on your width i.e. 90px pr 90vw etc.

2. The only way that your “Blog” menu item would get highlighted when on a single post is if you had that page specified as the “Posts” page in the WP admin > Settings > reading. However, you could also make it show as active with a custom CSS rule:

.single-post #header-outer #top #menu-item-3924 a .menu-title-text:after {
  transform: scale(1);
}

Kind regards

Hi,

Is it possible to hide/remove the bullet/pagination on the recent posts (slider multiple visible) element?

Cheers

Hey Micatuca,

You can use the following css snippet for that change:

.nectar-recent-posts-slider_multiple_visible .flickity-page-dots {
  display: none;
}

Kind regards

Hey! I would like to swith to the new blog layout. I’m using the legacy one on the VIKINGR Chronicles ( https://vikingrchronicles.ca/ ), I will probably do some tests on a development site before proceeding, but quickly, do you think there are things to look more carefully, which would allow me to avoid wandering a little :D

Hey barreoblique,

The new Mag demo utilizes the post loop builder ( formerly known as the post grid ) to create all of the layouts instead of the legacy “Blog” element. That’s really the thing to note.

You can find all of the sections of the Mag demo in the Salient Studio template library to easily play around with :)

Kind regards

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 :)

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?

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
