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!

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,

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!

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 :)

Kind regards

compatible with Elementor or not?

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

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

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

Hi Salient Team,

I hope you’re doing well. Let me start by wishing you a happy new year 2025!

I’m reaching out regarding two questions:

Mobile Layout Issue I’d like to display two elements on mobile devices, but every time I configure the row and column settings, it doesn’t work as expected. For example, I want a “Previous” button on the left side and a “Next” button on the right side, both aligned on the same line. However, with my current settings, the buttons overlap. Could you please share some tips or the correct configuration to achieve this?

Text Size on Mobile I’ve noticed an issue with the text size of my blog articles on mobile devices. The body text appears smaller compared to other pages, even though the settings seem to be identical. I’m not sure where to manage or fix this discrepancy.

Thanks so much for your help!

Best regards, Alex

Hey Alexis, no worries!

You just need to unassign (empty) the values currently set for the “Blog Single Post Content” field in the Salient options > Typography > Salient Elements/Areas. Once that is empty, you post will inherit from the global Body font: https://ibb.co/Dft44rK7

Kind regards

Thanks a lot for your very strong support. Have a good day. Best regards.

Alex

You’re welcome, Alex :)

Hey Phil, hope u doing good. On the site https://www.eisbachfit.com/coaches/ i see a little line on the checkmarks in the fancy list just on the first coach. You know whats happening there?

Second on a flickity image gallery i can have a hover option and it sais “DRAG”. Can i change that word any way?

Best Andi

Hey Andi,

1. It looks like there’s an extra class name getting applied to your list items which should not be there by default. Did you possibly copy the list items from another location which could have excess HTML attributes? You can correct the problem immediately from your end by 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:

.nectar-fancy-ul ul li .icon-salient-thin-line:before {
  content: none;
}

Kind regards

2. There’s no option for adding a custom string to that indicator option as of now, but I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.

Kind regards
