Dear ThemeNectar, I have noticed that Salient generates dozens of images for each one that is uploaded. Is it really necessary to have that?
Hey Eluvial, you have control over which image sizes Salient will cut from the Salient options panel > General settings > Image sizes tab.
If your website doesn’t require all, you can turn any off you don’t want.
Kind regards
I am having an issue where my Highlighted Text element isn’t working. On this page there’s some text, ”$150 per video” that is supposed to highlight red, but doesn’t do anything. I have tried the other styles as well, and it’s not working. I have tried disabling caching on this page, as well as disabling all plugins. Any ideas?
Here is the page: https://www.mattrittman.com/animation-licensing-v2/Hey mrittman,
That element highlights any text that has been italicized within the block. It seems that none of your text is set to italics, so the effect won’t be rendered. For further support, please use the support forum in the future.
Kind regards
Ahhh that explains it. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked lol. Thank you!
You’re welcome, mrittman 
Hello there, Parts! Tell me plz, when to expect the next big update?
Hey raffess,
The beta for v17 will be sent out this weekend. Once we’ve gathered enough user testing and feedback, we expect the final release to be ready in a couple of weeks 
Greetings! Will it be possible to change the burger menu icon in the future?
Hey esqu1red!
Do you have any suggestions for variants that you would like to see in the future?
Kind regards
Maybe two lines, or just one line. Maybe some new animations of opening. Its just a suggestion. Will be great if it will be in future update. <3
Thanks for the requests, esqu1red 
I have a license of this amazing theme. But WP Backery has a critical vulnerability in version 7.6, fixed in 7.8. Is it possible to have the fixed version?
Hey IZ4AKS,
You can access the latest release of the Salient WPBakery plugin (7.8) by updating to the most recent Salient (16.4)
Kind regards
Hi,
The animated gradient backgrounds are absolutely stunning but they just don’t have the same effect on mobile, is there a way we can disable them on mobile only?
Cheers!
Hey Micatuca,
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:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.nectar-animated-gradient {
display: none;
}
}
Kind regards
Perfect, Cheers
You’re welcome, Micatuca 
Hi there, I need to display a short description on the Shop or the Shop Category pages. So its visible before the client clicks on individual products. How can I achieve that?
Hey vivko,
We don’t have a built-in option to display the product excerpt on the WooCommerce archives. However, you could manually add that in via a filter in your child theme functions.php file. Here’s an example snippet: https://pastebin.com/XHTBhhFu
Kind regards
Thank you. That worked. Do you know if there is a hook to display the price as well in an excerpt?
Hey vivko, Here’s an updated snippet for that: https://pastebin.com/qtBDr441
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar!
How I get your “nectar-sticky-media-section__navigation-button” visible with the overlapping scrolling animation on Salient? See: https://imgur.com/a/0v9lLsb
The regular wpbakery element “sticky-media-section” doesn´t provide this option.
Can you give me a suggestion, what I can try?
Thanks guys!
Best regards
Hey mediastyle12!
That’s a feature that we’re going to be including in v17. If you’d like to access the beta, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Hello, i wouldlike the default search function to also searchinproduct variations, is this possible this somehow to enable it? thanks
Hey orders337,
We don’t extend what data WordPress uses for the search results page, so I would recommend taking a look into a plugin such as Relevanssi to extend the native functionality with more data.
Kind regards
Hello ! Is it a way to display a different menu on specific page. I would like to display an anchor menu for a landing page. Thank you
Great it works like a charme ! Do you know if it’s possible to disable the link into the logo on the header on this specific page too to avoid the visitor to get out ?
You’re welcome, Jrm57 
You could add a snippet of CSS to the page you want to disable the link on using the page builder CSS box (top right gear icon).
#logo {
pointer-events: none;
}
Cheers
Great thank you. And if I want to point to another page than the homepage. Like a mini-site. Is it possible ?
Hey Jrm57,
That would require a PHP modification from your child theme. If you would like assistance with that, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Cheers
I’ve requested this before, but just bringing it up once again. Just requesting consistency with the way hovering over icons work in the footer. If you’ve enabled social icons in the footer, there’s a nice color fade animation. This same hover color animation is not available in the Icon element and I’ve never quite understood why.
Also, adding a single line with 8+ social icons gets pretty clunky doing it with rows. Just wish there was a much easier solution. Especially when it comes to making it responsive. I know Salient is based off WPBakery page builder, so I’m sure there’s a lot of limitation with the Responsive Options. It’s just always been quite cumbersome. I wish this area would get completely overhauled.
Hey mrittman,
1. The option to specify a custom hover color for the icon page builder element will be available in v17.
2. If you’re trying to display your icons inline next to each other, you shouldn’t need to use columns, as they will default to an inline display. Could you kindly share a screenshot illustrating the layout you’re struggling with?
Kind regards
Okay that’s great to know the ability to specify a hover color is coming in v17 
Here’s a screenshot: https://www.mattrittman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/icons.jpg
Not sure how to go about that though, because you’d almost need a “nested” global section, which isn’t possible, correct?
Also, is it at all possible to change the Icon Element to show the actual icon on the backend editor, as opposed to the default “lightning bolt” for v17?
One other minor “bug” I noticed with the Icons, is that the icons in the “Additional Brands” library seem to have a slight bit more padding compared to those in the Font Awesome library.
See here, and inspect each one: https://www.mattrittman.com/?salient_g_sections=social-iconsFor example, the anchor element measures 45×51.33 for the Twitter/X icon, compared to 45×46.75 for the Facebook icon.
Hey mrittman,
1. You could call a global section inside of another global section. However, you would need to do so by adding the shortcode to your global section e.g.
[nectar_global_section id="YOUR_GLOBAL_SECTION_ID"]
2. Ive noted to investigate that further for the next release 
Kind regards
Okay awesome thank you so much! And sorry to bug you so much regarding the icons, but I really do think it would be a huge QoL update if the Icon element would display the icon selected on the back end editor. You can see how this get’s to be a bit confusing:
https://www.mattrittman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/icons-1.jpgHey mrittman, thanks for the request. It’s been noted 
Is it possible to copy mega menu settings from a website to another website? I want the same mega menu settings from website A to website B. So that I don’t recreate it from scratch
Hey shaky512,
WordPress doesn’t support importing the metadata associated with menu item by default, so you would need to manually export/import those posts into the DB.
Kind regards
Great Work!
Thanks, Acnoo 
Hi, how can I change the “Related Posts Title Text” to another language? E.g. “You may also like” in German “Das könnte Sie auch interessieren”.
Hey reob, that string is contained within the “salient” text domain and can be translated using your desired translation plugin. Kindly refer to the docs here in regards: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/
Cheers
I discovered there is an issue in the nectar slider https://www.perdanajelawat.com/. If you leave this slider to move automatically, you will notice on slide #2 the Logo + Menu will disappear.
But if we move manually to the next slide or the previous slide, everything looks good.
And when the zoom in animation is finished, the menu and logo colors sometimes change
SETTINGS: Salient > Header Navigation > Transparent Header Effect:
Header Starting Text Color: #FFFFFF
Header Dark Text Color: #000000
Header Starting Text Opacity: FULL OPACITY
Permanent Transparent Header: OFF
Header Inherit Row Color: OFF
Add Shadow Behind Transparent Header: OFF
SETTING ON SLIDER
Slide #1 Slide Font Color: DARK
Slide #2 Slide Font Color: LIGHT
Slide #3 Slide Font Color: LIGHT
SETTING ON PAGE
Force Transparency On Navigation: ON
Transparent Header Navigation Color: DARK
What should I set to solve this issue? And it seems that this issue appears when the slider has dark and light background colors
Hey shaky512, that appears to be occurring due to you have two sliders in the same top level row, one for desktop and mobile. You should be able to fix that by moving your mobile-only slider into its own row or disabling the auto rotate on that instance.
Kind regards
I have followed the method you gave by creating 2 main rows:
Main Row #1. For Desktop Slider
Main Row #2. For Mobile Slider
https://ibb.co.com/k3v3nJFThis method works on desktop, but doesn’t work on mobile.
On Mobile: Slides #2 and #3 You can see the logo, menu and search are white, they should be black.
As shown in the screenshot I attached. https://ibb.co.com/wKKktrF
Please provide guidance to resolve this issue
Hey shaky512,
There is no way to have two top-level sliders, both with autorotate enabled, affect the header navigation coloring. Only a slider within the top-level row will be able to control the header coloring. If you use two sliders with autorotate enabled, they will compete to change the coloring. If you want to keep that effect for both viewports, you’ll need to stick with a single slider and adjust it for the mobile version using CSS.
Kind regards
Can we get the css code for the mobile version?
And where should I put the code?
Hey shaky512, If you would like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards with more information about what you are looking to alter between the desktop/mobile versions, we would be glad to to assist.
Hi there, as a long term user. Are there any new demos coming up? I’d love a modern portfolio layout. Please let me know!
Hey justinwust!
There will actually be new portfolio demos added in the upcoming v17 release. 
Cheers
Is it possible to access the JS for the animated gradient, specifically the organic option?
Hey MarcGarner, the underlying code for that element exists at:
salient/js/src/elements/nectar-animated-gradient.js
Kind regards
Hi Themenectar! I am having an issue with nectar slider preview image not loading when using a video slide. I have uploaded a preview image but all it loads on Mac OS running Safari is the first frame of the video with a play button. Any ideas? This is the URL for my site: https://laragroup.ca Thanks as always for your time and great product!
Hey halcyonrecords!
The preview image will only be shown instead of the video if the theme option “Disable Video Backgrounds On Mobile Devices” in on in the Salient options > functionality tab.
I’ve noted the idea to optionally include that as the “poster” attribute in the video as well in the next update.
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar, Thank you, I appreciate the quick response, however, what if I want to have a poster frame or preview image (for instance when my MacBook is in power saver mode it does not autoplay the video so it just loads the first frame with a play button) and still have a video for mobile? Thanks again.
Hey halcyonrecords!
That would require an edit to the file “wp-content/plugins/salient-nectar-slider/includes/frontend/helpers.php” for now. However, it will become available through a child theme mod in the next release.
Kind regards
Thank you!
You’re welcome, halcyonrecords 
Hi, I’m having an issue with the ‘Filter by product attribute’ WC widget not working without installing the classic widget plugin. I reported it two years ago (ticket #3109114) but just tried it on another site and the issue still remains. All filter options are shown on product category pages and remain, even if not relevant to the current products. The filters work when created with the classic widget plugin and not in the new blocks. Thanks Andrew
Hey Andrew,
After reviewing that ticket, it seems like there’s some disconnect in your WooCommerce data. I haven’t been able to replicate a similar issue locally. However, if you’ve confirmed that the same issue does not occur in your site when switching to the default WordPress theme, please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
Thanks, I’ve had the same issue on two different WC sites using the Salient theme. I’ve sent a message over via the contact form.
Hi guys! I am looking for the best option to create a custom single page with “Dynamic Content” on Salient. In WPBakery docs I found a option like: https://help.visualcomposer.com/docs/features/dynamic-content/ , but how is this possible with Salient? Do you provide a option like this?
If this is not possible at the moment do you recommend other or additional page builder like https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/dynamic-data/ where this is possible?
Thanks, Alex
Hey Alex,
Visual Composer offers a different dynamic data system than WPBakery: https://help.visualcomposer.com/docs/getting-started/visual-composer-vs-wpbakery/
If you opt to use another builder, you won’t be able to access any of the Salient elements or templates as we exclusively have built them for WPBakery.
Kind regards
Hi again, aaah okay my mistake. Ok I would defenitly like to go further with Salient, so the best option to handle dynamic data is changing the template files right?
Thanks!
Hey ak1911,
You would need to create the template file manually via a child theme or make a global section assigned to only display on your post type single template. However, the global section won’t allow you to start from a blank slate – it will inject your custom elements into a specific location on the page.
Kind regards
