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 msherstenka,
The blog archives already provide an image secret with sizing data to allow the browser to choose the best size available depending on the screen width. If you take a look at the warning in Lighthouse, you’ll notice that the full size is not being downloaded; instead, the “large” size is being used. If you alter the code to serve a smaller size, such as 400px wide, those images will appear blurry on higher resolution screens, like MacBook Pro, iPhone, etc.
I recommend activating the option to lazy load your blog images in the Salient options > Blog > Functionality tab. However, if you want to reduce the actual image size, you can make that change by editing your “Large” image size in the WP admin > Settings > Media tab. Be sure to regenerate your images after making this adjustment. You can use the following plugin for that purpose: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Kind regards
Thanks for you response, I’ve had lazy load setup already in the Performance tab and in the blog functionality tab.
I wouldn’t want to change the large size I’d just want the actual blog categories page to show the 400×270 image rather than the large size image. There is no way of doing this?
Is there a recommended upload size of image? like 1200 by 628 or 1024 by 536? What is the best upload size that will work with your theme but also a size that doesn’t need to be too big where it’s causing this sizing issue with Google Lighthouse.
Hey msherstenka,
The blog archives’ material masonry style is set to use the “Large” size from WP. So, you would either need to change the dimensions in your settings or copy the file to your child theme to specify a different image size.
The file I’m referring to is located at:
salient/includes/partials/blog/styles/masonry-material/post-image.php
Kind regards,
Hi there, so after doing research I found the route to the problem. The large image size at 1024×536 is a big file size using jpeg, jpg, png is not recommend by Google anymore hence the errors in pagespeed. So I converted all the images to webp which is a huge smaller size difference. This will fix the issue with PageSpeed Insights.
However, I still have both versions of the converted images .png/.webp .jpeg/.webp and .jpg/.webp in my uploads folder.. I need the theme to post .webp format for all posts/category pages/etc. instead of the original png/jpeg/jpg to fix this issue – where do I change this in the PHP code and what do I change?
Thank you in advance! I think this will help many of users with your theme including your own site as you have this same error in Google PageSpeed insights.
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!
Hey dimage,
You would need to use WooCommerce filters to handle that. Here’s an example snippet to remove the price in areas outside of the cart/checkout when you’ve set it be free: https://pastebin.com/CiGCazwn
Altering the display within the cart/checkout would require further development.
Kind regards
thanks, anyway to change the icon of the woocommerce cart?
Hey dimage, You could use a CSS snippet such as https://pastebin.com/zqyVuBux
Kind regards
thanks & to show correctly on mobile?
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
Dear Salient, For some reason, I can’t get the nectar slider to be full height. The row is full height and even goes under the navigation. I tested it with a background image for the row, but the nectar slider doesn’t go full height. What am I doing wrong?
http://www.joshua-butler.com/semplice-test/header-testI have Flexible Slider Height turned on
Hey joshuabbutler,
You’ll need to change your row to “full width background” or “in container” and then configure the slider itself to be fullscreen with the following settings: https://ibb.co/xHPTFbt
Kind regards
Ok, I see, you have the content width constrained in the row, but then when that happens, in the nectar slider the menu options change and there is an option to push past the bounds to be full width. Thanks
Hello,
are you planning to add more prebuilt websites ?
Hey matvej,
Yes, we’ve been consistently adding demos throughout the years and will continue to do so. If you have any specific category you’re hoping to see, feel free to let us know!
Hello, I have a problem with h3, when I put a title in h3 it comes out well on computer but on mobile the h3 is not taken into account, visually the h3 is the same size as the text (only on mobile)
Hey NADHIRCHAOUI, You can adjust your general responsive font sizing in the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab.
Kind regards
I updated my theme and all of my settings were lost. Logo gone, colors gone, literally everything. What gives? How can I fix this without redoing everything?
Also, all my apostrophes everywhere on the site are now showing up as code. There are just a ton of errors. I’m happy to pay for support if you guys can revert this back but I’m unclear as to why this would have happened when we didn’t make any changes on our end.
Hey vaughanmatt,
None of the theme settings are stored locally within Salient, so upgrading the theme alone can’t affect the storage of data as they reside in your WP database.
From what you’ve described with the apostrophe rendering, it sounds like somehow your database collation or database character encoding got changed, which would break things. I would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to see if they can check on those two items for you.
Hi – I have been in contact with my hosting provider and they were able to fix the apostrophe rendering but can’t figure out why the database change would have affected fonts/styling, etc. We have escalated this issue internally for a thorough investigation.
They’ve been reviewing server logs,database collations, and character sets to identify the root cause of these issues.
They asked if you can share any findings they might have when it comes to this issue? Your insights could be extremely valuable as they continue to investigate the root cause.
Hey vaughanmatt,
Salient updates don’t alter anything related to the database—are you sure that when this error occurred the only thing you updated was the theme itself and nothing else? e.g. WordPress, Plugins, Server settings etc.
We did not update anything on our end.
Hi I think there is a bug – on mobile the post header has more space at the bottom then at the top so the title appears off center see screengrab here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lsxd43b02xj43z1os9rr5/627d7aeb-78a5-425c-8ff4-8f9216ae666b.jpg?rlkey=oh79adipncasa68ol1jslb1kr&dl=0
Is there a fix for this or have I missed something?
or is there anyway to globally disable the post headers?
Thanks Elliot
Hey Elliot,
It looks like that alignment issue is being cause by the CSS you have to remove the category. You can add in the following snippet to correct it:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1px) and (max-width: 999px) {
.single-post #ajax-content-wrap #page-header-bg {
min-height: 200px;
}
}
Alternatively, if you want to remove the entire post header globally you could use:
.single-post #page-header-wrap {
display: none;
}
Cheers
Hey,
I have a strange problem with my new template while using Salient. Header transparent doesn’t work properly (header forced to be transparent in the Salient panel + on the specific page). Furthermore, I have a dev mode enable which I do not activated. Is this related or two separate issues ?
Thanks in advance !
Hey williamchardon!
1. Are you using Yoast breadcrumbs? If so, that will override the transparent header effect option. Here are the Yoast docs on that feature.
2. The dev mode badge will display when you have WP_DEBUG set to true in your wp-config.php file—It won’t cause any rendering issues.
Kind regards
Hi there. How can I remove the category labels from appearing above the title on blog posts? I have followed the instructions in these two posts https://themenectar.ticksy.com//ticket/3496493/, https://themenectar.ticksy.com//ticket/3379419/ , but cannot make the solution work for my site. This is the link to the post that I am trying to make this solution work for https://impactinvestinghub.ca/esg-impact-standards/
Because it is in so many categories it appears badly, especially on mobile
Hey VI3Hub,
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:
.single-post #page-header-bg .inner-wrap > a {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
Hi guys,
When is the next big release planned?
Please plan for the next update: 1. 360° images integration 2. 360° videos integration 3. 3D content integration
Thanks in advance!
Hey vik_,
There is no release date yet for the next major release yet. Currently, we’re working on the upcoming minor release which will include some smaller features, bug fixes, and the latest version of WPBakery.
Kind regards
Hi there!
I am hoping you can help me.
We have created a one-page website which uses your theme Salient and uses the Salient ‘Fullscreen Rows’ feature to allow a nice transition between sections on Desktop. On mobile, we have toggled the option to switch this off.
Overall, this works well across desktop and on mobile. However, when testing on iPad portrait on Safari, we notice the fullscreen rows are still enabled. However, when testing on a different iPad browser such as Google Chrome, this is disabled. This also does not happen when viewing on a smaller screen size.
This indicates there is a bug on Safari, when viewing on a portrait tablet.
Upon further investigation, we can see on mobile the class ‘using-mobile-browser’ is automatically added to the when viewing on a mobile device. When viewing on Safari, where the issue is happening, this class is not being added. I suspect this is the reason it is not disabling on Safari but is disabling correctly in Google Chrome.
Please can you look into this and advise.
Many thanks!
Hey andy33333054!
The using-mobile-browser check can get skipped by certain iPads, as since iOS13 iPad will send a user agent string to emulate a desktop browser. You can read more about that here.
I’ve noted to investigate potential workarounds for that, however altering that now would require editing the logic in salient/js/elements/nectar-full-page-rows.js
Kind regards
Hi there,
Thank you for the information and prompt response.
As a temporary solution, if we could please come up with a fix editing ‘salient/js/elements/nectar-full-page-rows.js’, this would be perfect.
Please keep us posted.
Thanks!
Hey andy33333054, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks! I’ve just sent you a message via the form 
Thanks andy33333054, I’ll be reaching out to you soon in regards.
Hi there, I have a client site which they are struggling to edit/create new portfolio items because the Project Configuration and Project Header Settings are not displaying the buttons/options. For example, we can see ‘Full Width Portfolio Item Layout’ but then not see the options to the right which means they cannot set the correct options for the page. I can’t figure out why these aren’t working all of a sudden. My support has expired but this was all fine within the support period – why would it change? Any ideas? Thank you!
Hey Mercer_Design,
Are you using the latest version of the theme (v16.0.x) and Salient Portfolio plugin (1.7.5)? If so, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so I can take a look at the setup.
Thanks in advance
Good day, is it possible to disable full height on a row on mobile? Keep it on desktop but disable on mobile?
Hey aglet,
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 .wpb_row.vc_row-o-full-height,
body .wpb_row.vc_row-o-full-height > .col.span_12 {
height: auto!important;
min-height: 0!important;
}
Kind regards
Thank you
You’re welcome, aglet 
HI there! I would like to change the background for the portfolio header and the header text color. How do I do that? Here is an image to show you what I am talking about. https://ibb.co/nz9D1dS
here is a better image showing what I am talking about: https://ibb.co/jHLwDQp
Hey visualpaint, when editing any project, you can use the “Project Header Settings” metabox towards the bottom to specify coloring for the BG and text. If you would like further assistance with this, kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
