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

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
Hi, I’m looking for a way to make my header have an absolute position so that it overlaps the elements of my pages.
Hey epico_db,
You can get an absolute position on your header by using the “Header Remove Desktop Stickiness ” option in the Salient options > Header navigation tab. However, CSS would be needed to allow for the overlap on your page content. If you would like assistance with that, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards with your website URL and we’ll follow up.
Cheers
Hi. I need to be able to choose different font colours for the secondary navigation depening on whether the header is transparent or normal. I have tried all settings to achieve this but can’t work it out. I want it to behave in the same way as the main nav which is currently white on a trasparent background and black on a normal header. Hopefully there is a way to acheive this?
Hey wints77,
By default the secondary navigation doesn’t utilize the transparent header effect like that. However, if you would like to open a ticket on the support forum in regards we would be happy to assist with that change.
Cheers
Thank you. I have posted in the support forum and I have been told it isn’t possible
Hey wints77, I’ve followed up earlier today on your ticket
Hello, question, why is my shop not showing filters? https://coffeewithdamian.com/shop/
Hey Fixedman,
Do you have widgets assigned to the “WooCommerce Sidebar” widget area in the Appearance > Widgets? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so that we can follow up.
Kind regards
That works! But there is no filter by category?
Hey Fixedman,
We don’t provide custom WooCommerce widgets for Salient, but WooCommerce does include a ‘Product Categories’ widget that renders a list of categories linking to their respective archive pages
Kind regards
I see thank you, also is there a way of editing “cart” page? After someone add an item to it?
If you utilize the Block-based cart, you could more easily customize the structure: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/using-legacy-woocommerce-cart-checkout/
thank you!
You’re welcome, Fixedman
Hey! I’ve used Salient for years now and love it. It’s my go-to recommendation for people and clients.
One issue I’ve had for a long time is load times. My site is shockingly slow to load. I keep things updated but it doesn’t seem to help. Do you have any recommendations for this?
https://andrewklotz.ca/Hey A_K,
I’m seeing that URL quickly: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-andrewklotz-ca/8wi0ptqf9x?form_factor=desktop
However, it appears that occasionally the initial requests are taking longer which would point to something with your server configuration. I would recommend using a caching plugin and verifying that your server is not struggling with resources: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/Kind regards
Thanks for this. The speed index is nearly 6 seconds at that link and highlighted in red. Desktop looks like it’s a bit faster though.
Is there a cache plugin you recommend? I had one but saw zero difference.
Hey A_K, we cover all the key steps that impact page speed in the documentation I linked earlier. Taking a quick look at your site, it seems like a few of those steps are missing—like enabling the ‘Delay JavaScript Execution’ option. For caching, it depends on whether your hosting provider offers a built-in caching service. If not, we’d recommend WP Rocket or a similar third-party solution.
Thank you for your help!
Hey guys, pre Resale question.
Is there a way in the theme to have one different header on each page? We need a different header logo on each page,
Thanks!!
Jhon
Hey Jhon!
Currently, assigning different headers to each page would require a custom modification via your child theme or a multisite installation of WordPress.
Kind regards
Got it!
Do you think the support will help me with the file I need to modify within a child theme? I can use ACF and display the ACF on the header
Thanks
Hey jhonb,
You could copy the function “nectar_logo_output” from salient/nectar/helpers/header.php into your child theme in order to make that modification.
Kind regards
thanks!!
Duplicate the function within the functions.php file or duplicate the file within the same path of the child theme?
Thanks
Hey jhonb,
You would need to just copy the function itself into your child theme functions.php file
Kind regards
bug (or bad implementation): if in one row you have “recent projects” element with “fullscreen zoom slider” set, and the following row has got a higher z-index to overlap the first row on scrolling, on mobile devices the first row disappears. Please check it out.
Hey Eluvial,
I haven’t been able to replicate that issue when testing on mobile using the same setup you’ve described. For example: https://themenectar.com/salient/slider-portfolio/home-alternative/
If you’d like, you can share your page URL with us by submitting a ticket, and we’d be happy to take a closer look.
Kind regards
Hi! I have a question about the Post Loop Builder. I’m using it to build a sortable gallery, which works perfectly. But I’m having trouble to get the layout to act as a traditional masonry layout.
See example page: https://bloemistdegroot.nl/test/
The top gallery with filters is made with the post loop builder, but the predefined masonry layouts don’t have the option for a traditional masonry layout. The bottom gallery is made with the image gallery block, but it doesn’t support filters (sortable content).
So I’m trying to somehow achieve the traditional masonry layout with the post loop builder. Is there some tweak using code to achieve this? I have tried everything, but I can’t seem to make it work.
Thanks in advance!
Hey neliuss,
The Post Loop Builder does not use JavaScript for rendering, resulting in a significantly more performant display. However, this also means it does not support a traditional Masonry layout. The ability to achieve this with CSS alone will eventually be possible, at which point we will add it as an option. For now, you will need to use the Portfolio element instead for a Masonry display.
Kind regards
Hi, Thank you for your reply! Ah I see, that makes sense.
I tried to use the Portfolio element instead, and this actually works perfectly for what I want. The only problem is that I need 4 different galleries with each their own filters. So basically have no choice to create Custom post types. Is there a way to assign the Portfolio element to custom post types?
Thanks again! Kind regards.
Hey neliuss,
Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be possible without custom development via a child theme to alter the query based on a new custom parameter you would need to pass.
Kind regards
Hi, thanks again for your reply. I understand. I might consider asking a developer to help me with this.
Just for me to know, what are the chances of possible bugs after future theme updates when I do this through custom development? Or should this be safe as long as it’s done within the child theme?
Kind regards.
Hey neliuss,
As long as the modifications are kept targeted to with as few files touched as possible, generally you should be safe through updates.
Kind regards
Is there any plan to make this Elementor page builder?
Hey prenvatoin,
We have no plans to change Salient to use Elementor instead of the custom version of WPBakery on which it is currently built.
Kind regards
Any sandbox available to try this theme?
Hey prenvatoin, there is currently no sandbox area to try Salient before purchasing.
Kind regards
