I would like to know whether this theme supports multi-language options. Because I have to replicate my webpages in Arabic Language too. If not is there any possibility of integrating the feature using third party plugins.
Hey vibinrgb, Salient is compatible with the leading multi language plugins such as WPML and Polylang.
Kind regards
Help! For some reason images in the Image Gallery are only showing the Image Name and not the image preview itself. It is working OK for previous Portfolio Posts, but any new post it is only name-preview.
(I tried uploading new photos and using old photos already in media gallery, same issue).
Thank you for any help!

Hey svtmuscle, the title would only should like that when there was a problem loading the source of the image on your server. Have you tried to use a common image size within the Gallery settings such as “full” yet? https://ibb.co/1qMjj8n
If that doesn’t correct it, I would need to take a closer look at the page within the editor to assist. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Wow changing the settings to ‘full’ seemed to have fixed it, thank you!!
Glad I could help, svtmuscle 
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.htmlHey 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!
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,
You could add two conditionals to limit your global section to that such as https://ibb.co/b1yV5vW
Kind regards
Actually, i would like to target just a custom taxonomy (for posts) and not all category archives
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 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
