Hello,
I am trying to optimize the icon usage so to load as minimum as possible. It seems you have a default set of icons integrated within your theme, can I find these somewhere?
Also, as icomoon is already loaded, I tried to integrate other icons using a shortcode, but it does not seem to work. I am currently using the font-awesome option “fas fa-check-circle” but would like to change that to a similar icon in icomoon so it only has to download one icon set.
Hey dzineee,
You would need to inspect the icomoon.svg file within Salient. The icomoon app allows you upload .svg files to display the file glyph set easily.
Kind regards
Wow that is really cool, thank you! Uploading the SVG file from Salient I found that the icon I am using is indeed integrated under the code “salient-ok-sign”
I am trying to integrate this with a shortcode but am feeling to do so. Would this be with in i class or span class? I tried for example:
span class=”icon-salient-ok-sign”>
i class=”fas salient-ok-sign”>
i class=”fas salient-ok-sign”>
span class=”nectar-icon salient-ok-sign” aria-hidden=”true”>
But none of that works..
Hey dzineee,
You would use "icon-salient-check". You can find the full list of the names at the bottom of the style.css in salient/css/src/style.cssKind regards
Amazing, that did the trick. Thank you
You’re welcome, dzineee 
Adding custom Display Conditions to Global Sections
If I would like to narrow Display Conditions to let’s say – only a custom category – or only to posts belonging to a custom category.
Is there any way I can hook into this functionality and add custom conditions there via functions.php?
I can see that Custom Post Types are supported – that amazing. Would like to be able to narrow down to custom categories / posts in category.
Happy to hardcode this if there is any chance to get some instructions.
Hey expromosc! You could manually call a global section in one of the available theme areas via your child theme. Using that approach, any conditional logic could be applied. Here’s an example: https://pastebin.com/1T0GKtSu
Kind regards
Hello, is it compatible with PHP 8.2?
Hey MiraMaya,
Yes, as long as you’re using a recent release of Salient and the Salient plugins. https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Kind regards
Hi again!
I created a custom user role and I want to add the following capabilities to “Global Sections” but they are not visible? Could you tell me why?
function add_content_manager_role() { if (!get_role(‘content_manager’)) { add_role(‘content_manager’, ‘Content Manager’, array( ‘read’ => true, ‘edit_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘read_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘delete_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘publish_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘edit_others_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘delete_others_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘edit_published_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘delete_published_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘edit_private_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘read_private_salient_g_sections’ => true, ‘delete_private_salient_g_sections’ => true )); } } add_action(‘init’, ‘add_content_manager_role’);
Best, Alex
Hey Alex,
The salient_g_sections CPT has its capabilities tied to the regular “post” post type in WP. In order to change that to be specific to itself, you would also need to override the post type capabilities with the following snippet from your child theme: https://pastebin.com/VcZjEUBh
Kind regards
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much! And this caps are responsible to make WPBakery accessable for the custom role.
‘vc_access_rules_post_types’, ‘vc_access_rules_post_types/salient_g_sections’
Best
Glad we could help, mediastyle12
Merging Icomoon and Fontawesome.
Hello, I am trying to see if we can merge the use of several icon sets into one, as the are quite large in payload. I believe Icomoon is used for example for the Cart and Search icon, is that correct?
For example, the class is :
However, this is not the official icomoon documentation. Are these icons from Salient itself, or Icomoon?
—
Fontawesome seems ONLY to be loaded for the fa-angle-up icon, which seems excessive to load a full icon set for that. Would it not be possible to merge these icons into one icon set to save payload and # connections?
Hey dzineee,
The Salient icons set, named “icomoon”, are used for all of the core theme icons. That includes the cart, search and many other Salient-specific icons.
If you’re not using FontAwesome icons anywhere in your setup from page builder elements, or via social icons, you can enable the option “Remove Global Font Awesome” in the Salient options > general settings > performance tab.
Kind regards
Hello, you seem to be using a different shortcode for the icomoon icons. So it doesn’t seem to allow other icons to be added.
For example, the arrow scroll-up button seems to be fontawesome, loading this whole icon set for the one item. Why would you not use icomoon for ALL icons? IT seems to be redundant to use two icon sets?
Hey dzineee,
While we’ve kept the FA class names for up/down arrows, we still load those icons from our core set and not FA. If you’ve enabled the performance theme option I previously mentioned, FA should not load unless you’re using icons from it directly or have social icons enabled.
Kind regards
Hello,
I see, thank you for the explanation! I have tested it on different pages and see that fontawesome is indeed NOT loaded, even though the fa-angle-up icon is loaded. I assume from the core set .
hello, can your theme support creating a 3×3 image gallery where images and borders will be white, appearing as empty white page, but on mouse over of every image a flip happens and another image appears? if yes can i see a demo of this flip gallery?
Hey C_Drosos,
There is no style similar to that offered by default. However, you could achieve something similar with custom CSS. If you’d like assistance creating that kind of style, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards

Hi there, long time no speak, I have just dowloaded the latest theme update and testing it locally and I noticed that the child theme isnt working. I see this message in the Theme area, which is strange as when check the child theme it seems to have the correct info in it:
Name: Salient Child Theme Description: The parent theme is missing. Please install the “salient” parent theme.
Do you have any idea why this might be?
Thank you
Hey AnonMe,
There could be an installation problem with the directory name of either the child or parent theme location. Have you verified that both themes are uploaded correctly in wp-content/themes and that neither are accidentally nested inside of an extra folder?
Kind regards
Hi again, thank you for that suggestion. I have had a look and they are not inside an extra folder. I see salient, salient-child, and twentytwentyfour
Could it be anything else?
Hey,
If you’ve also opened both of those folders up to ensure the contents of them are directly inside as they should be and not double-nested inside another folder, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so that I can take a look at the backend
Hello there, you are correct the issue was the folder, it was double-nested, thank you. I thought it was strange.
I’m glad I could help, AnonMe

Does SureCart plugin work with Salient? (Compatible) Would prefer rather than woocommerce
Hey timtimtim, I haven’t personally tested with that plugin and we haven’t added any additional integration for it. However, if you run into a theme-specific conflict, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Reposted in the forum. Thanks.
Hello again. Kindly, please, fix the low resolution tab switcher on safari, or please point me how i can fix it for my website. I was typing about it in this ticket. Through every safari browser tab switcher is low res. If you’re using iphone you can reproduce this issue on ur end.
https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/3578693/Hey raffess, we’ll follow up with you on the support forum in regards.

Hi, what is the recommended way to customize the woocommerce product, cart, checkout and my account pages?
I bought a plugin from codecanyon that supposedly works with wpbakery but doesn’t seem to work because of the customized nature of your wpbakery implementation.
Can you guide us about whether there is a plugin that works in your experience or if we have to hire a developer or if it’s not possible at all?
Hey asad11184,
You would need to use a plugin in order to create custom templates for those areas as Salient doesn’t provide a way to do that at this time. However, I’m not sure which plugin you’ve tried that didn’t work, but we would be glad to take a closer look if you’d like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Thanks in advance
Hi there awesome Salient team.
Can you please tell us how well your theme integrates with ACF?
We want to redesign our website and use your theme instead of the clunky and outdated Divi theme but we can’t find any references for the support of ACF (or custom fields in general) in your documentation. On the other hand, Divi has a lot of support for custom fields and ACF.
I really believe that you should integrate and support ACF in your theme which would take it to the next level and attract more power users that want to built beautiful and highly customized websites.
All the best!
Hey alfamarblem
I’m glad to hear you’re interested in Salient!
The underlying page builder that Salient is built on top of (WPbakery) provides a dedicated ACF element. However, we don’t offer every text element in Salient to pull from ACF sources. However, it is indeed an item on wishlist
Cheers
I have a site in 3 languages, can I have these sections translated with “Salient Global Sections”, how are they assigned to each language?
Hey WEBMANAGERLTDA,
“Global sections” are saved in a custom post type, so you would just need to ensure that you’ve set that post type to be translatable. In WPML->Settings->Custom Post Types, search for “Global Sections(salient g_sections)” and set it to “Translatable”
Kind regards
Hello, I am using the new SaaS Theme and I am unable to locate any header configuration options… specifically for the “sign up now” call to action button in the upper right corner
Hey ANewPretty,
That button styling is set via the Salient menu styling options. You can check out the documentation for that here:
https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-menu-options/The button link will be located in the “Pull Right” menu location.
Kind regards
Wow Thanks! I definitely learned something new as far as the “Salient Menu Item Options” as well as the Menu Locations! Wow You’re Awesome!
You’re welcome, ANewPretty
Hi there! Short question, how is it possible to set child row to “In Container”, when parent row is set to “Full Width Content”?
All text items in child row should be “In Container”. Parent row can´t be set to “In Container” or “Full Width Background” unfortunately. Styling reasons.
Hope for your reply, Alex
Hi again, I solved it with CSS. You can ignore my comment above. Thanks!
.basic-grid-container {
position: relative;
max-width: 1425px;
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
padding: 0 90px;
width: 100%;
}@media only screen and (min-width: 1px) and (max-width: 999px) {
.basic-grid-container {
max-width: var(--mobile-container-width);
padding: 0;
}
}Hey mediastyle12, I’m glad that you were able to find the answer you were looking for

How to disable Sticky header?
Also i use WPML and i need to set different logo for each language
Hey PixelBitAgency,
1. In the Salient options panel > Header Navigation > Logo & General Styling tab, you can toggle the option “Header Remove Desktop Stickiness”.
2. Here’s a thread from WPML on the same topic.
Kind regards
Thank you for your response. is theme has an infinity loading on product archive page? if not which plugin you suggest ?
Hey PixelBitAgency,
Since that is not a known issue, we would need to examine your specific setup closer. Kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards
Good morning! I have had issues with some of the salient elements within WP Bakery not properly being supported for translation through WPML. You can see the example here where in the nectar slider, the buttons link to pages with both french and english versions available but the links are not formatted in a way that flags them for translation. In the first section below the slider, there are nectar icons and regular,old-fashioned text links pointing to the same page (What we do, who we are, partners, and contact are the 4 links) but WPML only identifies the text links and not the icon links (which are identical paths). Any ideas or things i can try. I will also add that we first made the site and tested it where it was working, then suddenly did not but only for the nectar element links. I can find the general date if that is helpful (I try to keep up to date version sunning at all times).
Thanks in advance, Overall, love the theme and have purchased it under other accounts.
I forgot to post the actual example page….. https://www.canadamasonrydesigncentre.com/fr/ Thanks again,
Hey canadamasonrycentre!
The Nectar Slider and the Icon element > URL attribute are specified as translatable fields in the Salient wpml config. Because of that, we would need to check out your setup closer to understand what’s preventing the translation. Can you please open a ticket with WPML if you haven’t already and let us know the ticket ID with our support forum so we can coordinate with them?
Kind regards
Thank you for the reply! It is Private Ticket #3594947 which I will continue there. Thanks again!
Thanks, canadamasonrycentre
Hi! so we are currently using the theme and we are having an issue and would be open to any suggestions. We are using the Image Gallery element to showcase some images in masonry grid. So the issue is that once the image has been added to the gallery, is there a way to set a separate image for the grid to the image that is shown on the lightbox?
Hey aglet! Currently, there is no way to link each image to a separate image to be shown in the Lightbox. The gallery is intended to display the full size of the image clicked on.
Kind regards
Hi! I have installed this theme and am getting a PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/class.redux_filesystem.php on line 29
Is this a problem that you can help me with? Thanks!
Hey BlueTapp! That issue should not occur when using a recent release of Salient and PHP. Can you please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can take a look to help out?
Cheers
