Hey guys,
I was wondering – are you using any special plugins for the sidebar filter area, within the demo examples? My filter area looks different and I’m not seem to be able to find a way to make it similair to the example
Thanks! B
Hey dephixeb1!
That functionality is built into the theme. Here are the settings we use in the Salient option > WooCommerce tab: https://ibb.co/Q9gWFkx
Kind regards
Hey!
Cheers for that – I got that far and that’s all working good! 
I can prob style it with CSS to remove the borders etc, but thought that maybe there was a quicker way to do it?
Thanks a lot Bart
Hey Bart,
The legacy filters vs block-based filters do have different styling. We use the legacy filters in that eCommerce Robust demo. You can add those through the “Legacy Widget” or by enabling the classic widgets plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/
Ahh I get it, nice one thanks a lot for your reply.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers Bart
I’m glad that I could help, Bart!

Hi there TN team,
Just wondering how flexible Salient would be when it comes to using it as a platform for a Directory?
Have you come across any users doing this, and if so, any recommendations for plugins? Hopefully buying another license if it’s not too complicated.
Hey ND81!
While we don’t include native directory functionality, you can achieve this using a plugin. We don’t have specific recommendations, but we’re always open to investigating compatibility issues with popular third-party plugins if any arise.
Kind regards
I can update on my staging site but not the production site. I get the error “some files cannot be copied due to authorization functions.php_18oct” Please indicate alternative ways. thank you
OK. I have resolved via FTP, but the problem should be investigated
Hey Eluvial,
Since there’s no known issue like that, and Salient does not include a functions.php file with ‘_18oct’ at the end, I suggest reaching out to your hosting provider first to ensure that the file permissions and ownership are correct in your setup.
Is there a way to make the Post Loop Builder category filter a dropdown? Thanks!
Also, is there a way to change the name “Filter” on that Post Loop Builder? Would love to change it to “Category Select” instead. Thanks!
Hey loansites!
1. Unfortunately there’s no built-in style for a dropdown on the Post Loop Builder filters. However, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
2. That string is contained in the “salient-core” text domain and can be translated to display as something else: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/
Kind regards
Thank you!
You’re welcome, loansites
Hi, is it possible to change the words “project-type” in the permalink (url) of a portfolio category page ? I want to write “proyecto” instead. Thanks
Hey coraliejujus,
You can modify that with a filter from your child theme: https://pastebin.com/DnAcvHEc After adding that, just ensure to regenerate your permalinks in Settings > Permalinks by clicking save changes.
Kind regards
Nice ! Thank you so much !
You’re welcome, coraliejujus
Hi for some reason, my homepage video is not playing at full screen anymore. Any idea why? https://whydontyouknowthis.com/
Hey JayCarver,
Can you please temporarily disable your SiteGround optimization so that we can review the page CSS and provide assistance?
Kind regards
ok it’s disabled
I’m seeing the video properly scaled to the section now with it disabled. This suggests that the issue was caused by older styles cached in your SiteGround optimization. I recommend clearing the cache from that plugin when enabling it again.
I’d like to use the remove unused CSS feature in Lightspeed cache, but if I enable it, dropdown menus stop working. I’ve tried adding various class selectors from the menu elements to the exclude list with no success. Is there any way to get this working? Thanks
Hey beachmat,
We would to take a closer look at your website to help with that. Here is their documentation on whitelisting CSS classes in case you haven’t seen it. Feel free to open a ticket on the support forum so we can follow up.
Kind regards
hello, The “Force Transparency On Navigation” option on pages/Portfolio are so useful, but this option is not on the post or category page https://dev.wpmisuzu.com/category/tech/ . How can I add this option to the post or category page?Or is there a global option?
Hey yurikoalterego!
The transparent header effect automatically applies to post archives and single posts when using options that support it. However, the styles you’re using do not support the feature by default. You can still enable it by adding a snippet to your child theme. Here’s an example you can paste into your child theme’s functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/h4gSHVEv
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar,
Thanks for your help! Could you please provide the code option for “Add Shadow Behind Transparent Header”?
Thanks!
Hey yurikoalterego,
Here’s a CSS snippet to manually trigger that: https://pastebin.com/ZRhL84VQ
Kind regards
hey ThemeNectar,
Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome, yurikoalterego
Hi Themenectar, another quick question: I’mm suddenly seeing a different rendition of the Text Outline version of a highlighted text. The outline is doing this weird overlapping thing that it wasn’t doing before https://www.bcnuej.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-11.41.16.jpg
Any idea why this is happening? Thank you!
also, where do you I control how the breadcrumbs show when navigating through the pages? (Home > About) maybe it is something from the nonprofit theme but I’ve never had them show up before.
Regarding the above, I am trying to remove this header space above the breadcrumbs, in order to have an image that occupies the full header area behind the logo…and it must be a very obvious general setting somewhere but i just can’t find it! https://www.bcnuej.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-17-at-18.13.40.jpg
Thx again
Hey anagcan,
1. Unfortunately that’s a limitation of using text strokes with variable-weight fonts. You can learn more about it here. You can correct it by using a non-variable weight font. You can see which Google fonts are variable weight in their list here: https://fonts.google.com/
2. Salient doesn’t have its own breadcrumb system. If you’re seeing them in your setup, they are likely coming from a plugin such as Yoast.
You’ll need to remove those breadcrumbs in order to make use of the Transparent Header functionality.
Cheers
Thank you so much…it’s working now, I was going crazy! About the text outline, I understand, but how come it didnt show this way when I first published the page? It only started looking like that later… Thank you so much again.
Hey anagcan,
It’s possible that the font was converted to a variable weight font since you initially picked it. If you would like to share your URL I would be happy to double check on that for you.
Kind regards
Hello dear ThemeNectar team,
Congratulations for your great work.
One question: how can I remove the hover underlining effect on the words ‘Catalogue, Get in touch, About’ in this page? https://unseenwaves.com/ ? I wrote this words with responsive text of bakery builder. I tried to remove this feature from salient settings panel, but it did not work.
Many thanks!
Hey ilias_lois, thanks a lot!
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 .nectar-responsive-text.nectar-link-underline-effect a {
background-image: none;
}
Kind regards
wow, this reply was fast. Thanks a lot. Happy new year!
Glad I could help, ilias_lois
Kind regards
BUG REPORT:
If a slider does not have a gallery image associated with it, the vc_gallery.php block uses placeholder images from http://placekitten.com – that site is down and in your code you reference a non https location. This can be found at
File: salient-core/includes/vc_templates/vc_gallery.php Line: 461
I’ve modified it to not use cat pictures from an insecure source that currently is offline and causing 404 errors.
In place of http://placekitten.com/g/1024/768 I’m using https://placehold.co/1024x768
Hey sendmeaquote, thanks for letting us know. That location was originally a legacy placeholder from the core of WPBakery. We’ve included the necessary change for this in today’s update (17.0.7)
Kind regards
Hello,
After installing the new version of the salient theme, all the title of pages has disappeared in the list page and the menu. After desactivating all the plugins, nothing changed. Is It a bug on your end ?
Hey belbachir,
There’s no known issue similar to that. Have you verified that the issue is not related to a child theme you may be using in your setup? If not, feel free to reach out via the contact form on our author page in regards so we can follow up.
Cheers
Hello we’ve updated the theme by the new version but all the pages lost there names, they have the ‘No title’ name, even if we try to change it, it doesn’t work, and we use the parent theme, any suggestion?
Curious if theres a quick way to add a fixed position option to a row’s background image similar to the project header setting? Thanks
Hey waynesworld604,
You can enable that in the Row settings > Animation tab, with the option “Parallax Background Media On Scroll”. After enabling that, you can selected “Fixed in Place” for the speed.
Kind regards
That’s where it got moved to. Thank you!
You’re welcome, waynesworld604

compatible with Elementor or not?
Hey Lesliedigital, Salient is built on top of a tailored version of WPBakery. You can opt to use Elementor, but you will not be able to take advantage of the Salient element set, or templates library.
Kind regards
ok, and Salient have mega menu feature?
Ok. one small question, the header account icon does not work correctly, but works on mobile version, how it that? and my website is benoohia.com.
Hey Lesliedigital,
Can you verify that you’ve entered your account URL in the Salient options > header navigation > layout & content related tab with an https:// in the beginning of the URL. i.e.
https://benoohia.com/my-account
Kind regards
Solved, thanks! And what wishlist and compare plugins compatible with salient theme perfectly?
And i created a menu set to top navigation, not reveal, but to the off canvas menu i did not set, what’s happened?
Hey Lesliedigital,
1. We don’t have a specific wishlist plugin to recommend, but will help out on the support forum if you run into any compatibility issues.
2. Please open a ticket on the support forum in regards for further questions so that we can follow up and take a look at your website to assist.
Thanks in advance
Can’t post a ticket, please review my website benoohia.com, and tell please.
Hey Lesliedigital,
It seems that your “Header Mobile Breakpoint” is set too high at 2000px. You can lower this setting in the Salient Options > Header Navigation > Mobile Header tab to ensure your menu items appear properly in the navigation bar on smaller screens.
Please note that an active support license is required to access the support forum for future inquiries.
Kind regards
Is it possible to have my logo image full width in the top navigation with centered menu alt? Or is logo height the only way to play with the size?
Hey nikobruggemans, the logo height is the main control for your logo size within the header navigation. If you want to utilize a different sizing approach, a custom CSS rule would be needed.
Kind regards
Hello ThemeNectar,
Could you please assist us in implementing this feature?
We’d like the site header to be hidden on the homepage initially. Once the user scrolls down past the hero section, the header should appear. However, we only want this behavior on the homepage. On all other pages, the header should remain visible as usual.
Essentially, we want the hero section on the homepage to be fully visible without anything, including the header, overlapping it.
Best regards,
Hey Jabbarpour,
We kindly ask that you open a ticket on the support forum in regards for customization requests such as this.
Thanks in advance
Hello ThemeNectar,
Sure! I’ve opened a ticket to implement this with your help.
Thank you
Hey.
When you use Quantum Portfolio demo and try stacked layout for portfolio items on menu are no longer visible.
I use this code so i don’t see the X navigation on the bottom of the website.
body:not(:has(.slide-out-from-right-hover.open)) #ajax-content-wrap:has(.layout-stacked) {
contain: paint;
}General salient issue.
Up-scaling website on mobile ( iphone 12pro max + 15 pro max + 15 pro ( 2 fingers – regular upscale – like for images )) when using stacked portfolio layout also crashed the entire website layout. Without using the code
body:not(:has(.slide-out-from-right-hover.open)) #ajax-content-wrap:has(.layout-stacked) {
contain: paint;
}General issues from latest major release.
Hey raffess,
We’ve already followed up with you about this post on the support forum. To keep things streamlined, please try to avoid double-posting as it helps us stay synced up with the team better.
Kind regards
Hi,
We do have the issue that when the Salient theme is in use the dropdown fields in Gravity Forms are not showing up, any suggestion?
Hey kroonwebdesign, have you ensured that the option “Enable Fancy Select Styling” is off in the Salient options > Form styling tab? If so, kindly share your page URL in regards so that we can take a look to assist.
Cheers
For some reason the Next Section Arrow isn’t working. It just links to # so nothing happens when it’s clicked (it’s in the hero section). What am I doing wrong?
Hey vinvalentino,
The next section arrow does not require any additional configuration and should automatically link to the next Row element which exists in the page builder. Can you please share your URL in regards so that we can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Thanks! URL is: https://staging2.hyacinthwealth.com/xhome/
Hey vinvalentino,
In the Salient options > General settings > Functionality tab, can you ensure that the option “One Page Scroll Support (Animated Anchor Links)” is enabled?
Kind regards
hi,
Adding a phone number to the main menu is not working, I am able to add it but when you hover over it on desktop and mobile, it is not clickable. Click to call does not work.
Here is the code I use
<a href="tel:+1234567890">Call Us</a>
Can you please provide a fix?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
Are you adding that via custom HTML, or through a standard WordPress menu item? Since there are no known issues with phone links, we would need to see the website URL in order to assist.
Thanks in advance
Menu item, using custom URL. here is the link https://42j.78a.myftpupload.com/
it does not work both on desktop and mobile
Since you’re using a regular WP menu item, can you confirm that you’re adding only tel:+1234567890 to the custom URL in your menu item? If you try to add the full HTML anchor tag, as shown in your initial comment, it wouldn’t work.
Hi, sorry I did not fully understand your reply. So what is the solution here if that code won’t work?
What should i put there?
Hey toolbox101,
You do not need to enter any HTML code in your URL field. You can simply use the phone number along with the tel: prefix
tel:+1234567890
Kind regards
