For the project video (supply .mp4 for portfolio items used in the loop post builder element), is it possible to use a Vimeo video for this instead of self hosted? It will help with site load times if possible. Thanks.
Hey AkeatsKes,
As of now, there’s no option to link an external video source for the preview video inside of the Post Loop. However, I’ve noted the idea 
Kind regards
Thank you! I want to load a few of these on the same page and it will be a lot faster to have them load from Vimeo vs. self-hosting.
when i use the custom heading feature, i set the text to h1 and a 16px font.
but when i go on mobile, it shows the font as the responsive size of the h1, not the 16pt
How do i use custom heading to override the h1 font size on mobile
thanks
Hey thomasmkl, You could either use a Responsive Text element instead to set the desired size for each viewport in the UI or create a custom CSS rule to alter the core WPBakery Custom Heading element on mobile. If you would prefer CSS, here’s an example: https://pastebin.com/7nxVQB7P

Hello, How to remove the item type (page, post, etc.) from the header search section when displaying results? Tanks
Hey ASG31,
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-ajax-search-results .meta-type {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
Hello,
Thank you for your quick response to my last question. I have another issue displaying the LinkedIn logo – the image only appears on hover. Do you have a solution for this? The Facebook and Twitter logos, however, work fine.
Hey ASG31, if you’ve already verified that no third-party plugins in your setup are causing the issue, please share the website URL so we can take a look.
Thanks in advance
Thank you very much for your response. But could you please guide me on how to remove the item type (page, post, etc.) on the results page? This information is still showing. Thank you for your reply. Sincerely.
Hey ASG31,
You can modify the previous snippet to be as follows to also target the results page
.nectar-ajax-search-results .meta-type,
#search-results .result .title span {
display: none;
}
Kind regards
Quick question, on the mobile menu is there a way to make when you click the word the drop down menu appears? Currently you have to click the little arrow.
Hey lawdawg845,
Yes, you can enable that functionality in the Salient options panel under Header Navigation > Off-Canvas Menu Tab, using the “Off-Canvas Menu Dropdown Behavior” option.
Kind regards
Thank you!!
You’re welcome, lawdawg845
talking about blog excerpts, either there are bugs or it’s functioning wrong. If I have “Automatic Post Excerpts” disabled or enabled, the blog-query element always shows the posts with an escerpt. Besides, it seems that the excerpt consists only of h1-h2 headrings but not texts. The only way to have a proper excerpt for each post is to create a manual one in the backend field. Moreover, if the posts are translated in a multilanguage website, excerpts aren’t shown in the translated language.
Hey Eluvial,
Most blog styles already utilize an automatic excerpt – only the “Classic” styles will not and will be affected by toggling that option. If you’re seeing missing content in you excerpt, it could be because of the elements you’re using in the post content. Have you tried placing your text in regular text blocks or responsive text blocks? Not all page builder elements will be utilized inside of the excerpt.
We’ve tested the excerpt with WPML, and can not replicate any display issues. If you would like like us to take a look into your specific multi-lingual setup, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards

is it possible to make the separator with text a hyperlink? thanks!
Hey brianfreeman
You can add your desired link to the parent column via the “Column Link” field.
Kind regards
Hello,
I am reaching out to you because, recently, some mobile users have reported a strange issue. It seems to be limited, but some are unable to add a product to the cart. To be more precise, the addition does occur, but they need to refresh the page. In cases where the issue arises, the spinner and the “added” message do not appear, and the mini cart does not display.
https://bijouterie-goldandstone.com/Do you know what could be causing this?
Hey MAJMonaco,
Have you verified that it’s not related to your performance optimizations by temporarily deactivating any? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up.
Thanks in advance
Hello!. With loco translate I can’t translate “Related Posts” text in blog single post page. any idea? give me options please. thank you
Hey segurihost,
That string is contained in the “salient” text domain and is available to translate. Have you set the .pot file within LocoTranslate properly?
Kind regards
Change alignment of Nectar Slider on mobile>>
Hello, is there any way to change the alignment of the slider on mobile only? I now have a nectar slider where the main content of the image is on the left, and the text on the right.
However, on mobile the main part of the image falls away and the text is compressed on the right (layout is not nice). Is there any way to fix/improve this?
I would like to align the text full width (or center) and also move the image more center, perhaps with a custom margin-left push.
Hey dzineee,
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:
https://pastebin.com/9NGWV4KUKind regards
Hello, this seems to center align the text, but the image is stil not offset. It would be good to have some more options for mobile layouts where you can shift the background layout and text alignment.
Hey dzineee, you can also control the image alignment with the following CSS:

Hi team,
I’m experiencing a major issue with my website. After activating a widget in the off-canvas section (which had “(beta)” in its name), the entire site stopped working.
I’ve already updated the theme and all plugins, but the issue persists. I can’t access the widget area to make any changes, the off-canvas section isn’t functioning at all, and other features, like “image comparison”, are also broken.
Could you please help me resolve this?
Thanks in advance!
Hey nelala,
We don’t provide a widgets in Salient with a “beta” tag. Can you specify what the widget was and if it was added through a plugin? If it’s part of a plugin, yon can likely bypass the issue immediately by disabling the plugin which is adding it. Feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up.
Thanks in advance
Hi… any major update news? The last one was in september of 2024
Hey toolbox101, we generally don’t provide estimates for major releases as there are many variables. Instead, we announce beta openings to our email opt-in list when they become available before larger releases.
Kind regards
Hey Ba-k! There’s nothing built into Salient to set that color. However, you could try using a custom meta tag. For assistance with this or other customization queries, please use the support forum in the future.
Cheers
For those interested, the Browser Address Bar Color plugin works perfectly with Salient and does so beautifully
Thanks!
It’s been asked before but I cannot replicate this clip path effect. There’s absolutelly no documentation about it, neither anything on the web. I have played around with it, it’s impossible to get a grip of it. The top row must be set to “sticky”, but what about the second row? Can you publish some tutorial?
Hey Eluvial,
That is something we came up with for our own branding for ThemeNectar and is not something we would create a tutorial on, as it is not a demo or template for Salient. However, if you would like assistance in replicating something similar, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Thanks in advance
Hi, When adding sitemaps with yoast it creates “salient_g_sections-sitemap.xml”
is there a way to exclude the g sections from the sitemaps? thanks
Hey tricks28,
You can specify that post type to be omitted from the Yoast Sitemap by following these steps: https://yoast.com/help/sitemap-shows-excluded-posts-pages/

Hi – I am making updates to my website on the staging server. At the bottom, the arrow that normally shows up and indicates to the user to scroll down does not show when the page initially loads until I begin to scroll down.
https://staging3.jamescarveronline.com/I’m not sure what setting has been turned on or off to disrupt this, but on my live site, I do not have that issue for some reason: https://www.jamescarveronline.com
This issue seems to have just occurred today as I was changing the typography settings on staging. It now uses a different font than what’s on the live site.
Hey JayCarver,
So far, I have not been able to see what you’ve described on the staging: video recording. Could you kindly open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up further?
Thanks in advance
Hi I do not have a paid subscription for support. This is what I see on a desktop monitor from Chrome, Safari, and Firefox when I initially get on the page and when I refresh…when I scroll down slightly, it will appear, but not on the initial load
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jEitBU_bzIHey Jay,
That’s due to your screen size vs the offset for the element animations. You can set a further “Column Animation Offset” to ensure they trigger in the column > animation settings. A value such as “100%” should fix it.
Kind regards
Hi, I updated my theme from 17.0.3 to 17.0.7 today and now the main menu loads slightly to the right and then shifts to the left (desired position). Can you please help? https://tinyurl.com/tas29bzz Thanks!
Hey apinzon,
You have lazy loading on the logo from a third-party performance plugin. That file will need to be excluded from lazy loading in order to have it available immediately for calculations.
Kind regards
Great theme, still no header builder, please include it
Hey C_Drosos, I’m glad to hear that you’re still enjoying Salient Just a quick note to let you know that we already noted your +1 for that idea when you requested it a couple of months ago.
Kind regards
Haha you rememberrr. Ok then. Ill be back in 4 months to check!!!
Hey C_Drosos, we appreciate community suggestions — we get them nearly every day! A header builder isn’t on our short-term roadmap for the next few months, but it’s definitely on our wishlist.
Kind regards
Hey there. Tnx for the amazing support. I have a Top Navigation Menu Pull Right select but it only shows on desktop. Already tried “Persist In Mobile Navigation Header”but it does not show on mobile. Any ideas? site is Curumari.com
Hey kayota,
We would need to take a closer look at your backend settings since there’s currently no known issue with the “Persist In Mobile Navigation Header” menu option not taking effect. Feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Thanks in advance
this header is clear when scrolling and looks odd. I want it to be clear up top but not when scrolling. also want the text to be white but it starts out black then goes to white. any idea? thanks! http://medhat.fun/
Hey brianfreeman,
In the Salient options panel > Header Navigation > Transparent Header Effect tab, you can disable the “Header Permanent Transparent” option to have the effect be limited to the top prior to scrolling.
Kindly open separate issues as individual tickets on the support forum in the future so that we can better assign and archive them within our team
Kind regards
how do I change the font size of the minimal tab? also remove the line below it? thanks as usual!
Hey brianfreeman!
The tabs will inherit from your typography settings for “Form and Category Lables” in the Salient options panel > Typography > General HTML elements tab.
If you’re referring to the border below the tabs, you can use:
.tabbed[data-style=minimal] .wpb_tabs_nav {
border-bottom: 0;
}
Kind regards
