Hi there!

Are there any Figma files or design files we can get when we buy the product? So designers can design the page before developing it?

Hey Andersjpg :)

Unfortunately, we don’t provide any Figma files for Salient.

Thanks for your interest

Good Day

Almost all our sites are showing short code

Example www.f5creative.co.za

Hey F5Creative,

It looks like the WPBakery page builder is not activated in your site. If that’s not the case, please please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Thanks in advance

Pre-purchase Question

Can I make sticky title and category header in blog post like this:

https://www.thecut.com/2023/11/worst-first-date-spots-list.html

Hey morganthx, There’s no built-in functionality to achieve that in Salient, so it would require modifications from your child theme.

Kind regards

Guys you should work in a theme for real estate.

Hey orlandojpg, thanks for the request :)

Cheers

Hi, I have 3 pages using the Post Loop Builder. I can add the ‘all items” ​back-to-link to return to the page on one of them but I need links for another 2 portfolios. At present, I have is to use the ‘all items” link to go back to my home page. Is it possible to have the “all items” link to return to each page using a Post Loop Builder?

Hey SpiralPixelDesign,

Unfortunately there’s no built in functionality to assign that link to different pages that use the Post Loop Builder at this time. You could look into copying the “get_portfolio_page_link” function from wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/helpers.php into your child theme to add that custom functionality. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards

Hi everyone, I’m using salient (which I’ve already used for various clients) as a magazine and congratulations on the fantastic design. Question: Is there any way to preview posts with videos like in this example? Thanks in advance Alberto https://newsblocktheme.com/relevant/

Hey albertoguccione :) I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying Salient! As of now, there’s no option to autoplay a video in the background of a post item. However, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards

Thanks for your answer. Now Salient has the foundations for a super magazine format to improve!

Hi, I’m trying to get a 1px section separator to work full-width, but it seems it’s always limited to the container size. Can you please help? https://tinyurl.com/yd22uk9h Thanks!

Hey apinzon,

Make sure that you’ve set the parent row holding the Divider block to be “Full width content”.

Kind regards

Hi there,
Any updates on the 17.0 release? When we might see it?

Hey Romanesco, v17 has not been announced yet. However, once it is, there will be a beta notice at the top of the changelog. We’re currently working on wrapping up 16.1, which is estimated for late next week.

Kind regards

Thanks!

You’re welcome, Romanesco :)

Hello, is there a way to target a taxonomy archive with the display conditions in Global Sections?​

Hey inje,

There’s no way to limit a global section to a specific taxonomy as of now. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards

Can we override this function from a child theme and add this option?

Hey inje, here’s how you could manually call a global section form custom logic in your child theme: https://pastebin.com/AZ2BLe9a

Kind regards

Hi,

We’re trying to remove the video and link to your demo theme from our 404 page and none of the settings in the theme options are changing this, we used the mag demo content is there somewhere else we need to access that 404 page?

Cheers

Hey Micatuca,

The 404 template in that demo is a global section, which you can edit freely: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/

Kind regards

Cheers!

The theme is used well. I’m using OnePage, but the back-to-top button at the bottom right doesn’t appear? And the counseling plugin Channel Talk doesn’t work?

Hey innofish,

1. If you’re using the page full screen rows option, the back to top buttons will be hidden, since the page never actually scrolls. If you’re not utilizing that option, kindly share your page URL so that I can take a look to assist.

2. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards with further details on what issue you’ve encounter with the “Channel Talk” plugin.

Thanks in advance

Feature request: Salient is missing the possibility to add a header to Woocommerce product category page and single product page. I hope you will implement it soon, it should be “easy” with the hooks. Cheers

Hey Eluvial, Salient already provides the option to specify a header unique to every category e.g. https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product-category/accessories/

The header image / description can be edited from within each WooCommere Category.

However, there’s no option to add a header to the single product template at this time. I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards

Hey there, I am noticing an issue with using your theme and along with your example site pages in relation to “category” pages. For example: https://themenectar.com/salient/blog-magazine/category/philosophy/

I got Google Core Web Vitals Issues due to this “Properly size images”. You have the same issue when I run your site category pages through PageSpeedInsights as well. Even though I have all my images selected on upload in the Image Sizes tab it’s still using ” Full Size images” rather than the required image sizes (I think its 400px x 270px) for these pages.

Do you know why both our sites are doing this? As this has to be an issue with the theme itself cause I’m sure there isn’t a plugin we are both using that would block this to not work properly. Or can you guide me on the best category blog pages setup to use for this not to happen? Cause this is a big issue as it’s causing Google to not want to rank my web pages as I have over 50 category pages with this issue which shows its a theme category page issue that isn’t grabbing the proper image size.

Hey, we recommend using Performance Lab, a free plugin by the core WordPress team that will automatically convert all uploaded photos into webp—this is covered in the documentation here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/

Kind regards

Thanks for the response, I have already converted all the uploaded images to webp.

The issue is that the theme is still only posting the .png/.jpeg/.jpg images instead of the converted .webp images. Do I have to change something in the “post-image.php” so that the theme only posts .webp images?

Hey msherstenka, WordPress associates each of your images with an ID in the database. Therefore, you can’t manually add images to the uploads folder as they won’t be recognized by the media library. Instead, you would need to manually upload the photos for each post as the featured image or run a database script to switch all the IDs to the new WebP format. I would strongly suggest using the recommended Performance Lab plugin instead, which will automatically serve WebP versions of your images without requiring any additional work.

Do you have any tips for spacing on the mega menu?

We’re trying to change the spacing on our menu. Current – https://ibb.co/2hZxSbL Mockup of the desired look – https://ibb.co/wsjZvb2

Hey MarcGarner,

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:

#header-outer #top #menu-item-9034 {
    padding: 20px 20px 20px 7%;
}

Kind regards

Thank you

You’re welcome, MarcGarner :)

hi! any idea how to hide the text showing 0,00€ if a product is 0,00€ price? in all the website? in product page, cart, etc… Thanks!

I would need to see your URL in order to see why that snippet is not working for you on mobile by default. However, one thing You could try on your end would be to change the background-size property to “contain” instead of “cover.

Kind regards

thanks now works

You’re welcome, dimage :)

hi, There is no contact form plugin?

Hey najmuddin, Salient does not have a built-in form system, however we provide styling options that can be applied to all major form plugins. In the demos, we utilize a mixture of Contact Form 7 and WPForms.

Kind regards

Hi ThemeNectar. Quick question. Is there a way to globally define the default pixel amount of the “Column Element Spacing”? I am working with a 10px for all my content and it is a bit frustrating to go and change it in every page builder column element. If this is beyond the free support you provide through the comments section of ThemeForest I will understand. And once again, your theme rocks!

Hey alfamarble! It would be easiest to define a global CSS rule that sets that spacing. 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:

#ajax-content-wrap .wpb_column > .vc_column-inner > .wpb_wrapper > div:not(:last-child) {
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

Cheers

What can I say? You guys rock! Thank you very much (once again). Is there a plan to integrate this setting to the Salient theme options panel in a future release? I believe it would be useful for other users too.

You’re welcome, alfamarble :)

I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist!

How to make wpforms like in the silent mag demo?

Hey lubirastudios, that form will import when you import the demo, however if you do not wish the import the demo, the main thing you’ll need to do when creating your WPForm is add the class name “nectar-inline-subscribe-form” to the form settings.

Kind regards

I don’t see where that setting is, does it have to be the wpform pro version?

Hey lubirastudios,

No, that setting is available in the free version: https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-add-custom-css-to-your-wpforms/#form-container-and-submit-button If you’d like further assistance with setting up that form, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Hi ThemeNectar, I’m having some issues with scaling on UHD screens. The screen is 3840×2160, so the ratio (16:9) is the same as in regular HD 1920×1080. My problem is, that the content is not scaling. The rows and backgrounds are scaling correctly (I’m using full height rows), bit all the text, images etc. stays the same size as in HD, so all the content is sitting pretty small in the middle of the screen. Is there any setting to tell salient to just scale all the content to UHD on bigger screens?

Hey DenK3000,

If you want your content to scale up further, you can adjust the “Max Website Container Width” in the Salient options > general settings > functionality tab.

If you want your text to scale proportionally up at larger screen sizes, I would recommend looking into using the Responsive Text element

Kind regards

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Is it correct, that the max container width is 2400? So there’s no way to go wider on bigger screens?

Hey DenK3000, If you want to go past that container width, you’ll need to either add in a CSS rule or utilize the “Full width content” row type, which will always expand to the full viewport width.

If you’d prefer to use CSS, 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:

body .container {
  max-width: 3000px;
}

Kind regards

Hello! How to add elements such as https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/scroll-revealed-text/ when I am using some of your demo theme? Where do I need to go to insert select them?

Hey visualpaint,

The scroll revealed text is an option within the “Split Line Heading” element. You can find an example of that in use in the Salient Studio template library. The template is called “Scroll Opacity Reveal Text”: https://ibb.co/7yM805P

Kind regards
