?grid-filter=category If I add the above link after the domain (https://domain.com), can I go to the filter tab?
We are using sortable from post loop builder. I want to create a link with the corresponding filters activated, such as all, hospital, doctort, etc. As an example, can I write it like below? https://domain.com?grid-filter=hospitalHey minhwan,
Yes, that’s the correct format. Assuming that you’re not able to get that to work on your page, can you please share the actual URL of where you’re using the post loop builder so that I can take a look?
Kind regards
I’m seeking an effective method to customize the menu on individual pages of my WordPress website. I’ve explored several tutorials on YouTube, and you can find them through this link:
Is there a straightforward method within salient template settings?
Hey bbbirkan,
We recommend using the Conditional Menus plugin to handle display menu items conditionally per page.
Kind regards
How can I add an image to the body to be in the background of the entire site. I’ve tried adding this CSS override, but it doesn’t seem to override the background colour correctly.
https://rachael-king.com/staging/body { background-color: transparent!important; background-image: url(https://rachael-king.com/staging/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/background-repeat-1020_trans.jpg)!important; background-position: left top!important; background-repeat: repeat!important; background-attachment: scroll!important; }
the boxed content setting will set a background image, but I don’t want the boxed layout. How can I correctly get the background image set?
Hey monstrous, you’ll also need to remove the BG color set on the container of the theme with the following CSS
.container-wrap, .ocm-effect-wrap {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Kind regards
Hi
For whatever reason the transparent header isn’t working on any of the pages other than the home page. I’ve compared the setup of each page and they’re all the same.
It used to work before.
Do you know of a common fix for this?
Website is below. https://acantecs.com/about/Thanks
Hey alexbirks,
You’ll need to use a filter in your child theme to remove default functionality that prevents the transparent header effect when Yoast breadcrumbs are enabled: https://pastebin.com/bGSxyuNE or alternatively, you can disable the breadcrumb option from within the Yoast settings.
Kind regards
Hi there, please help, i can’t see The special location to set blog archive Loop https://prnt.sc/9HyGmHoKZWdM how to solve this issue
Hey shaky512, Do you have a global section item in your trash which has the special location set? If so you’ll need to delete that from your trash or restore it. Also, ensure that you’re using a recent release of the theme (16.1.2)
If you’re still unable to select it, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards
i have no global section item in trash https://prnt.sc/0BwjQmX8DMkT. And i’m using recent release of the theme (16.1.2) https://prnt.sc/JWCtWwI9Ow7G
is it ok if i re-imported the demo https://prnt.sc/JWCtWwI9Ow7G ?
If you’re going to re-import the same demo, it would be recommended to first reset your WP instance to avoid ending up with duplicate content: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-reset/
However, I would need to see your actual setup to assist further in why that global section location is not available to you. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
hey
hope you’re good.
Is it possible to target a specific item on a carousel on page load?
So if I have 12 items in a carousel in sequence and on one page I want item 8 to load and on another page I want item 10 to load first, can I use something similar to an anchor point to target the item so the sequence stays the same but the page loads with a different item?
I’ve currently got a flickity carousel set up with 12 tabs
thanks in advance 
Hey stsw, Unfortunately there’s no built-in logic to assist in linking directly to a specific carousel item or altering the order of a carousel via a URL parameter.
Kind regards
How can I tuck the main banner/slider under the header navigation and under the breadcrumbs? https://url.dev/94KM4wH/ Trying to make it look cleaner for pages so they don’t have large white bars on top where the navigation and breadcrumbs are. Thanks!
Hey ehong33234,

Hi, I’m using Salient MAG why in my category layout different with this https://themenectar.com/salient/mag/category/design/ ? It show like this https://prnt.sc/gF01G79yJGSs what should i do?
Hey shaky512, by default, the Mag demo adds a global section in the Blog Archive Loop location to handle the display. It looks like you may have deleted that or changed the settings since doing the import. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can follow up.
Kind regards
I have a client that had a previous developer use Salient. That person built their website and then left it incomplete. The client is asking if the current purchase by someone else is accessible for him or if a new license is required. I am looking to see if we can upgrade from his current version to the latest version or if there are incremental changes required. His website is in a critical state as the version has critical vulnerabilities with the theme. I do not want to publicly post the name for obvious reasons! If you could please let me know how to move forward it will be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Paul
Hey Paul, you’ll need access to the account which holds the license for Salient in order to update, unless the previous developer configured the Envato Market plugin as per the documentation: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
If not, you’ll either need a new license, or you can try to recover the original account by reaching out to Envato directly here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Kind regards
Hello Team,
Within our client’s website setup, there exists a global section identified by the ID 146056, strategically placed in the “After Page Content” section, situated above the footer. This global section is employed across all pages using the Salient theme’s options.
However, a challenge has emerged: there isn’t a specific option available within Salient to exclude this section from certain critical pages like the cart (ID:1), checkout (ID:2), or my-account (ID:3), wishlist (ID:4) etc.
Initially, I utilized CSS to hide the section, but this approach resulted in conflicts.
Rather than simply hiding it, my objective is to prevent the global section from appearing on select pages.
Is there a viable method to accomplish this, perhaps by integrating a script into the functions.php file?
Although I explored the new feature of setting the display condition to false, unfortunately, it lacks a field to specify URLs or page IDs for ensuring the section’s invisibility on designated pages.
Hey princebhalani143, You would need to programmatically exclude the global section via an action in your child theme functions.php. Here’s an example of such a snippet: https://pastebin.com/SvRiDuAs
If you need further assistance, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Kind regards
Thank you
Hi, I’m using Salient MAG, I’m trying to only display the date on a single post, it doesn’t work, if I turn Remove Post Author On, but if I turn it off it’s Remove Post Author.
Date appears.
I only want to display the date without displaying the author. https://prnt.sc/feCs50UEUIG0
Then the next thing is that I use the post loop builder, I activate the post date meta data, it can display but not the date that I created in publish date. if i publish 5 Dec, appear there still the current date is 8 Dec https://prnt.sc/4-lTPk8GLls1
Hey shaky512,
1. You’ll need to switch your “Blog Header Author Style” to “Small Image Inline” to bypass that in the Salient options > Blog > Single post header tab.
2. You can change which date is displayed (edited vs. published) in the Salient options > Blog > functionality tab
Please use the support forum in the future when posting multiple questions. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks in advance
OK, everything worked, thank you very much, Salient is the best
You’re welcome, shaky512
hello
hope you’re well. I have a couple of hopefully simple questions
This is the link https://inseason.app
1. I’m trying to create 3 columns on mobile and desktop. I’ve changed lots of options based on https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-columns/#width but I’m not getting the result I need.
This is what I need https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rkn6b9b51oz550ajcixrh/Screenshot-2023-12-06-at-18.46.14.png?rlkey=1bbslc9qo7mrofv23my7bs99z&dl=0
JUL Left, AUG centred, SEP right aligned all on the same base line, I got it working on desktop but then it threw mobile off
I have this set up on the backend editor https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bchw33trjjyf5zq9znyfm/Screenshot-2023-12-07-at-15.12.27.png?rlkey=j8p3fwn6jrqvw0ga81le2lwbu&dl=0
2. Can I change the font and font size of the tabs. Ive set up Fruit and Veg as I need as text and then the smaller tabs that are active underneath – is it possible to target the tabs fonts to be the same font and size (H4) and if possible styled as I have on the above screenshot?
Thanks for your help in advanced.
All the best
J
On 2. I found the font and size in General HTML elements > Form and Category Labels
Sorry missed that.
The font is set to H4 settings but the font now cuts off the bottom https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7zmoihpwp14ibffdzjs3w/IMG_6013DCBB3924-1.jpeg?rlkey=wo7vnt18ysqcmh3dhjf9y3tkg&dl=0
Anything that needs changing?
Hey stsw,
1. Salient uses a 12 column grid system, so you should be setting those columns to 4 columns each instead of 3 to get a full 3 column layout right any excess space on the right.
2. You can use the following CSS to alter the tabs as in your screenshot: https://pastebin.com/wA4NvHG4Cheers
Thank you’re a ★
Glad I could help, stsw
Hi, Wordfence has found that the plugin “Salient Core” has a security vulnerability: https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/salient-core/salient-core-202-authenticated-contributor-stored-cross-site-scripting Can you please fix it? Thank you
Hey lironnave,
That was patched back in August: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#16-0-5

Hey apinzon!
The blog settings for single posts allow you to specify a narrow content width in the Salient options > Blog > Single post tab. However, if you want to have a narrow width that’s smaller than the minimum offered in the theme options for all of your pages globally, you’ll need to add a custom CSS rule.
body .container {
max-width: 1000px;
}
Kind regards
Thanks. Works great.
Glad I could help, apinzon
Hi, Following up on this item, I’d like to mention that I added your rule with 850px width. It looks great on desktop, but on mobile, the padding to the left and right of the screen disappears, making the content look bad and at the edge of the screen both in the nav bar and in the content body. Any idea on what I can do to add that max width and still make it look good on mobile?
Hey apinzon,
You can wrap the rule in a media query like so:
@media only screen and (min-width: 950px) {
body .container {
max-width: 850px;
}
}
Kind regards
Hello, can I create a different menu for inner pages? I want different menus to appear for 3 of my pages. In the Header section.
Or can I solve it with a plugin?
Hey guestylE, you can use a plugin such as Conditional Menus to have unique menus per page.
Kind regards
Hi, How do I accomplish this navigation? https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/#locations Thanks!
Hey apinzon,
I’m not sure what “navigation” you’re referring to from those docs. However, if you’re looking to gain access to the newer global section options, you’ll just need to ensure you’re using a recent release of Salient (v16+) and Salient Core (v2.0+).
Kind regards
Hi, I just meant that this example page has a sidebar menu to the left that allows the user to click through it. I would like to use a similar element on my page. How can I do it? Thanks!
Hey apinzon, thanks for the clarifcation. That page is using the “Tabs” page builder element set to “Vertical Sticky Scrolling” for the “Style”.
Kind regards
Hello – thanks again for a great theme. I have a question recording a WooCommerce store section. I have a site which has a store page/section. When I select it from my menu it has a hierarchical menu at the top. When I select a sub category, it shows something like this. “Home>Apparel”, the home button takes me to the home page of my website not the home page or general store page. Is it possible to change that? Secondly, under your material style demo when you select a category from the sidebar on the left the blue dot stays blue/illuminated, whereas on my store it only illuminates/stays coloured when I hover over it. Could you help me so that it stays solid like in your demo? Thanks!
Hey halcyonrecords, I followed up to your email regarding the same questions earlier today
Kind regards
Thank you! Much appreciated.
You’re welcome, halcyonrecords
Hi, I have had a notification from my security software that the Salient Core plug-in has an issue (Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting). Is this something that will be fixed soon?
Hey lightwavin,
That was patched back in August: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#16-0-5
You can read about updating from here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Does Salient have a way to add a notification bar at the very top of the website above the header for site announcements like “Free Shipping over $50” etc?
Hey ehong33234,
You can accomplish that by enabling the “Secondary Header Bar” in the Salient options > Secondary header bar tab, and then adding your text to the “Secondary Header Text” field.
Kind regards
Thank you! How can I stylize the background color of the secondary header bar and the text color? Wish there was styling options in the Salient options.
Hey ehong33234,
You can already specify the coloring for the secondary header bar in the Salient options > Header navigation > Color scheme tab.
Kind regards
hi, I have a quick question about the blog settings. We used to be using the “Material” setting for the blog landing page, but after the last Salient update this got messed up (images were not showing properly, overlapping etc.), and we decided to switch to the “Classic Enhanced” option which seems to be the one working the best.
However, in this case the images are cut off in a way that doesn’t quite work for us (it’s images of people and as a default the top of the heads are cut off). Is there a way we can control how the images are displayed, so in this example push the images to be cut off in a different way, or be resized in a different way? There’s no setting to control this within the Salient settings. Thanks! Here’s what the page looks like now: https://wealthbridge.com/our-team/
Hey pani0202, there are no known issues with the material blog style in the latest release, so I would need to see your page URL which shows the issue to assist with that.
However, you could modify the featured image size for the classic enhanced style by using a snippet such as this in your child theme functions.php: https://pastebin.com/Ahs6eU72
After doing so, you’ll need to regenerate your thumbnails
Kind regards
Thanks so much, this fix worked like a charm. Always appreciate your quick responses and fixes. Excellent customer service! Not quite sure what happened with the material blog style and got messed up, but not really important at this point.
Glad I could help, pani0202
Cheers
