Hi everyone! I purchased the theme some time ago. Do I need to renew support to see the latest updates? I downloaded the latest version of the theme, but I don’t see any updates.
Thanks for you help
Hey LaKugi!
No, with a single license you’ll have access to the latest release for life. The current version is v17.1.0 – here is the documentation on updating: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Kind regards
Hi, thanks for the very quick reply 
I figured out why, despite the latest updated version being uploaded, the theme didn’t show the updates: Salient WPBakery Page Builder had some sort of overwriting problems.
In practice, you need to force the bakery builder to update. To solve it, I deactivated Salient v17.1.0, activated another temporary theme, deleted the Salient WPBakery Page Builder plugin, manually reloaded it from the latest theme folder and then, lastly, reactivated Salient v17.1.0.
I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, if so, I’ll report it. Maybe this could help.
Kind regards
Hey LaKugi,
I’m glad to hear that you’ve sorted it. If you run into a similar issue again in the future, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so we can follow up.
Cheers
Hi. There’s something wrong with the Bluesky logo in the top right corner and footer of the website (https://ccu-csc.ca). It doesn’t seem to animate, and it seems slightly higher on the page compared to the others. Is there a fix for this?
Hey portpass1974,
Since there is no known issue like that, have you disabled your SiteGround optimization plugin to verify that you are not loading old cached styles?
Kind regards
Hi. Thanks for that. Yes, the SiteGround Optimizer was the issue. Although I want to keep on using the plugin. Would you know what the particular issue is with the plugin? I tried refreshing the cache, but that didn’t fix the issue. I also looked through the plugin and tried different things, but it didn’t work. Thanks so much.
Hey portpass1974,
There’s no known issue with siteground which would cause that issue. It looked like the newer CSS was missing from the cached files served from the optimized SiteGround CSS. I would recommend contacting SiteGround to see if there’s another layer of caching would could be causing outdated CSS to linger.
Kind regards
Hi,
I’d like to add a unique (custom) ID to buttons or text links in the top menu of my WordPress site. Currently, WordPress automatically generates IDs based on the menu structure, but for Google Analytics tracking purposes, I’d prefer to use my own custom ID names.
Is there a way to manually set custom IDs for menu items in WordPress? If so, what’s the best approach to implement this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey romankac!
WP does not offer a built-in method from the user interface to add custom IDs to menu items. However, you can enable “CSS Classes” in the “Screen Options” toggle in order to set custom class names on each to use for GA.
Kind regards
Hi, I have a 1400×1400 image I’m using for particle effect on home page. It looks fine on desktop, but mobile scales it down so tiny it’s unrecognizable. It’s almost as if the canvas has 40% padding on left and right, but I can’t seem to find any CSS for the canvas background.
Is there a way to get the particle image to fill the screen more?

Hey porpie,
You can increase the rendering resolution by enabling the “Fullscreen Height” option instead of specifying a px value, such as “1000”.
Kind regards
Hi,
I purchased your Salient theme in December 2024. The support website always shows me a notification “Whoop, something went wrong” when I submit a new ticket.
Could you please assist me with this issue?
Regards, Mark
Hey Mark,
Can you confirm that you’re still unable to open a ticket now? I checked on your account on the support forum to verify that it has an active support license.
Kind regards
My ticket can be submitted again on the support page. Thanks!
Hi ThemeNectar! Am having an issue where the titles of the Portfolio pages flash at the top, then repaint in place at the bottom where they should be. Happens on initial loading and refresh. Any ideas?
Hey asbundschuh!
You could set a default min height on that section before JS loads by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.wpb_row.vc_row-o-full-height .span_12 {
min-height: 99vh;
}
Cheers
Hey, do you sell the theme the demo page ? https://themenectar.com/salient/
Hey aureops92,
The main promotional page for Salient is not an importable demo included with the theme. However, the page is built with Salient and you can replicate a similar design using the builder.
Kind regards
Hello,
My support code no longer seems to work
I can’t see the Salient Template bar in Editor However, everything is installed and activated in the extensions.
Thanks
Hey arnolyon,
Are you using a recent release of Salient (v17+), and have you verified that no third party plugins are causing a conflict by temporarily deactivating them?
Kind regards
Hey ThemeNectar – pretty sure these are both bugs this time.
Add the ‘Tabs’ element to a row and set it to the ‘Vertical Material’ style. This style adds an 80px padding to the left side of the tab content to space it away from the tabs themselves. However, when you shrink the width of your browser and those tabs responsively move to the top of the row, that padding remains on the left side. The result is that none of the tab content is aligned correctly – it is all 80px too far to the right.
The Page Submenu element ignores the row settings in relation to it being set to ‘In Container’. As you shrink the width of your browser window the menu slides all the way to the absolute left edge and only moves that menu tab when it touches the side. Setting margins does nothing.
Hey Tbone17,
1. Thanks for reporting this. I’ve noted it down to include the necessary fix in the next minor release.
2. The Page Submenu element should always display the contained links and have a full-width background. If you’re seeing the menu items also displaying at full width without any spacing on the sides, please share an example URL where I can review the display issue.
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar,
Re: bug number 2, I made you an example to take a look at here: https://poseidondesign.co.uk/test-page/Thanks Tbone17,
It is related specifically to using the “center” alignment. I’ll also be including the fix for that in the next release
You can remedy it yourself for now if needed 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:

How do you center a split line heading? Row/inner row/column/inner col/split line heading all centered but the thing still on the left….
solved!
Hey Mikel2020, I’m glad that you were able to solve it
Cheers
Dear Salient Team,
I hope you’re doing well today.
I’m reaching out regarding a small issue on my website. I recently tried implementing WooCommerce and imported the Ecommerce Robust demo. However, I noticed that the filters on the products page are not working. Additionally, I’m unsure where to manage the hero image, similar to what is shown on the product page demo.
Could you please guide me on how to resolve these two points?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards, Alexis
PS: url of the website https://www.lcp.paris/boutique/
Hey Alexis,
1. Have you added your desired filter widgets to the Appearance > Widgets section of the WordPress admin?
2. You can specify the header image for your product archives in Salient Options > WooCommerce > Archive Header. You can also set category-specific archive images when editing each of your WooCommerce categories in Products > Categories within the WordPress admin.
Kind regards
Hi Salient Team,
Thanks a lot for your help. Have a great day. Best regards.
I’m glad I could help, alexis182
Hi, using latest theme. Global sections footer (same as resort demo) the last row with terms etc. is not showing on other pages, only home. Display is set to 100 – footer. True – everywhere. Are my settings correct?
Hey Mikel2020,
I would need to take a look at your website to better understand why that is occurring. Based on the settings you’ve listed, it should be displaying on every page.
Kind regards
Hi Nectar Team,
I’m having issues linking a menu item (Story > My Story) to a specific part of the page. I’ve tried anchor links and it does not work. Currently I’m using the Freelance Portfolio with the Menu Item sliding from the right. I would like to establish the default effect of Home & Contact links for my Story menu item.
Hey marcod845,
Could you kindly share your URL so we can take a look at why the hash link isn’t working in your setup?
Kind regards
Hey Nectar Team,
Please see here: https://test.marcodardignac.com/
Thanks marcod845,
I don’t see a matching ID of ‘story’ on that page to make the anchor link in your menu work. Can you verify that you’ve set one of your rows to have the ID ‘story’? https://ibb.co/k61Z2M7S
Kind regards
Hi Nectar Team,
That did achieve the anchor point effect, but ultimately that’s not what I want to achieve. I would like to have the same default effect of the “Home” and “Work” menu item link. I inspected the links and the difference looks to be Home & Work are post-type-menu-item vs. custom-menu-item (Story – anchor point effect).
This is inspect code for the “Work” link class=”menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1282”
This is what I have for my Story link menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1307
Hi Nectar Team,
I believe I figured it out. Seems as though I would need to rebuild each section as individual Pages in order to achieve the default effect. I’ve went ahead and converted each menu item to anchor points as I wanted to have the user jump to specific sections of the homepage. Thank you, no other assistance is need for now.
Hey marcod845,
I’m glad that you were able to sort it out
Kind regards
Hey guys, theme is awesome! Just noticed the thumbnails for products on the page are a little blurry but when I click through to product page they are OK.
Is this a setting I need to change?
Cheers
Hey HirroCreative!
In the WordPress Customizer, you can use the “Thumbnail Width” in WooCommerce > Product Images to control the resolution.
Kind regards
sorry to ask such a simple question: why some strings are not being translated (or found)? For instance “previous/next projects”.
Hey Eluvial,
Strings that originate from Salient plugins will be contained within the relevant text domain of that plugin. The “Previous Project” and “Next Project” strings are included in the “salient-portfolio” text domain. Link to Documentation.
Kind regards
Hi, I’m getting the warning / error; Warning: Undefined variable $image_sizes in /themes/salient/template-portfolio.php on line 1356
Changing the line to the below fixes this; !empty( $image_sizes )
Can template-portfolio.php be updated? I’m using the latest version of the theme. Thanks Andrew
Hey Andrew,
Thanks for reporting that. I’ve noted to include the fix in the next minor release.
Kind regards
hi there where do we update/edit the footer content? Please watch video https://www.loom.com/share/3d184541b98643258c40bf774a787c1e?sid=62d94207-7773-4b8c-9273-874268e0190d
Hey sefwalter,
That footer is created using the page builder in a Global Section. Please see the documentation for that functionality here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/
Kind regards
Hi – How can I ensure images I set as background for columns will show the center? Do the images need to be resized to fit the aspect ratio of the column? For example, the image halfway down the page about Kevin Hart has part of his face cut off on my staging server https://staging3.jamescarveronline.com/hollywood-doesnt-care-about-you/
Use the live link instead for reference: https://jamescarveronline.com/hollywood-doesnt-care-about-you
And on a mobile device the images don’t show at all
Hey JayCarver,
1. It looks like that column is already setting the background image position to center, but the image itself has Kevin Hart off-center. I recommend cropping it so he’s centered using the WordPress Image Editor tool. You can access this tool by clicking “Edit Image” when setting your background image in the media library.
2. When columns collapse into a vertical display, their size is determined by their content. Since your columns are empty, they have no intrinsic height. You can set a height for mobile devices by placing a divider element inside the column and adjusting it to your desired height.
Kind regards
For the blog header, is there any way for the Excerpt to be displayed for the blog header type “Variable Height Minimal”? Right now the excerpt only shows for 1 of the 4 blog header types.
Hey rawFrenzy,
Adding an excerpt to the other blog header styles would currently require a modification from your child theme. If you would like assistance with that, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum.
Kind regards
I have many tags on my posts, but noone display on tags page
like here
https://akoslife.com/tag/%ce%b8%ce%b5%cf%81%ce%bc%ce%bf%ce%ba%cf%81%ce%b1%cf%83%ce%af%ce%b1/What can i do to display it all?
Thank you
Hey mtsitas,
It looks like there’s a JS error coming from a conflicting plugin you have active which is breaking the blog display. I would suggest temporarily disabling the plugin, “Visual Portfolio” to see if that helps.
Kind regards
Thank you
You’re welcome, mtsitas
