How do you add the sticky social media icons on the left side of blog posts instead of the button at the bottom?
Hey rallred2,
Ensure that you’re using the “Featured Media Under Heading” header type in the Blog > Single Post Header tab. With that selected, in the WordPress Customizer > Salient Social settings, keep the “Determined by theme settings” option active.
Kind regards
Hi TN team,
Are you planning on continuing to release major releases for this, or is development turning to Nectarblocks?
Thanks!
Hey ND81!
We’ve been developing both Salient and Nectarblocks side by side for the past few years. Salient version 18 is currently in the works! We believe it’s important to give our users the choice between the two builders and remain dedicated to both products.
Kind regards
Excellent! Super excited to see the ongoing development of both – have a keen eye on Nectarblocks as well
We’re glad to hear it, ND81! Thanks so much for your support so far 
Cheers
From this comment: https://themeforest.net/comments/30611662. I wonder why we need to use the HTML (with the flickity-viewport in HTML)
<div id="ee-cart-cross-sell-products" data-flickity=""> <div class="flickity-viewport"> <div class="flickity-slider"> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> </div> </div> </div>
while with the official document from flickity here https://flickity.metafizzy.co/. We won’t need any flickity HTML, all these HTML will be generated by flickity.
This customized code from Salient make every plugins used library flickity won’t work as expected. The plugins used flickity library can be found here https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/flickity/
So I have some questions below
1 – What’s the purpose of these flickity HTML?
2 – Could Salient update the code to check if the flickity HTML exists and doing the customized code itself, otherwise, please use the default flickity function?
Hey cutiela83,
That structural change was implemented to ensure compatibility with how the WPBakery frontend editor works. If you’re using a plugin to create a Flickity instance outside of Salient, it should still function correctly, as the plugin’s script will be loaded instead of Salient’s version. However, a conflict will occur if you attempt to use both a Salient Flickity and a plugin Flickity on the same page. I’ve added this to the dev list to implement a workaround for such cases.
If you’re instead trying to create a manual instance outside of a plugin, you can add the class name “generate-markup” onto the slider element to have Flickity generate the markup in the default way.
Kind regards
Hello. We customized the portfolio permalink but somehow permalinks need to be flushed once or twice a day unless you don’t want to get 404 for portfolio links. Do you have any idea? We’re checking the cron jobs but we wanted to ask you first. Thanks
Hey ugurterzi,
It sounds like something is invalidating WordPress’s permalink cache—possibly a caching plugin or a cron job, as you mentioned, that’s resetting the permalinks periodically or in response to certain actions. To address this, I recommend setting your permalink via a filter, which can help ensure it’s available when the cache is being regenerated. https://pastebin.com/X7cT80es
Kind regards
Thank you. I added the filter. I’ll keep on eye on this. Best Regards
You’re welcome, ugurterzi
Is it possible to have the progress bar increase or decrease depending on scroll depth?
Hey dacamov,
Currently, there’s no built-in option to link a Progress Bar element to the scroll position. The animation triggers when the element enters the viewport and plays only once.
Kind regards
Hi @ThemeNectar, Could you please add Strava to the Social Media Links? Best regards
Hey Lanaworks,
I’ve noted the idea for it on the wishlist
Kind regards
Currently, I have set automatic display of individual sections (such as CTA text and button, 404 error, and other projects) with parameters defined, for example: Display Locations ‘After single project’, Display Conditions ‘True Everywhere’. Can I define these parameters globally for a new language (English), or do I need to manually insert the shortcode into each post or page (for the specific CZ/EN version of the section)? I would appreciate something like ‘Display Conditions: if language is set to English, then show…I use the Polylang plugin.
Hey romankac,
If you need to conditionally limit global sections per language, that would require customization from a child theme as of now. However, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist.
Kind regards
I have the layered portfolio but on tablet and mobile i want to display 3 portfolio items instead of 2. In the global sections i changed all to 3. columns=”3” columns_tablet=”3” columns_phone=”3” But is still displays 2 how can fix this
Hey igregnl,
Are you referring to changing the number of related projects displayed in the Single Project template for that demo? If so, could you kindly share the URL of the page you’re trying to modify so we can take a look at your settings?
Kind regards
The latest version of Salient WPBakery v7.8.2 plugin.
What version does that align with on the WPBakery changelog? Is it 8.4.1?
Hey jbennett360,
We’ve decided to wait on including the latest version of WPBakery, as it has a number of known issues and regressions that have been frustrating users. We’re holding off until those issues are resolved. In the meantime, we’ve included a recent patch release to ensure compatibility with WP 6.8.
Kind regards
Big time fan of Salient, I just documented the design of a homepage using the theme to show how easy it can be: https://youtu.be/bFVy8NSlu7Y
Hey cudedesign, thanks for sharing that!
Cheers
Hi there is it possible to remove the “explore more work” section entirely from the bottom of the portfolio single pages? I have only 2 posts to show so it doesnt look good.
Hey Wisdomlikesilence,
If you’re using of the new portfolio demos, that is added via a Global Section and can be edited to your liking or removed entirely: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/
Kind regards
Hey, I want to buy this theme. Going through the comments, I see that existing clients are requesting a modal popup feature, but you’re telling them to use a third-party plugin, such as Popup Maker. Does this feature still only work through third-party plugins? Thanks.
Hey road66,
We do not offer a built-in modal feature in Salient. You would still need to utilize a plugin to get that functionality at this time.
Kind regards
Is there any way to have text be a different colour when you hover over it apart from links?
Hey Wisdomlikesilence,
That would require adding a CSS class name to either the text or parent column element in order to trigger the color change for hover. If you would like to share a page URL and let me know which area you’re trying to alter, I would be happy to provide a snippet.
Kind regards
No that’s fine I can CSS it. Thanks. Might be a handy thing to have a text item that allows hover effects in future updates.
Hi there. Its it possible to create the same “Modern Stacked” effect for regular rows/columns. Or is it limied to portfolio display. https://themenectar.com/salient/portfolio-layered/
Hey wints77,
You can use the “Sticky Content Sections” element set to the “Sticky Scroll Pinned Sections” type in order to achieve a similar result.
Kind regards
Great thanks. That is just what I need.
Glad to hear, wints77
Hi, I’m using the Woocommerce Checkout field editor plugin to disable postcode field and also customizing the checkout form but it’s not showing the changes that I’m making. Also tried with another plugin having the same problem. You guys know what might be happening and how can I fix it?. Best Regards
Hey murguiareynaldo,
Can you confirm that you’re using the newer block-based checkout offered by WooCommerce? https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/using-legacy-woocommerce-cart-checkout/
The legacy shortcode based checkout might not be supported by the plugins you’re using.
Kind regards
Hello, I’m an experienced developer, and there’s no option (theme/WpBakery or CSS) to force the height of an image in a column (excluding the background), which would, for example, allow two aligned images (2/3 and 1/3) to have the same height. I spent a day testing this. Is this a bug that needs to be fixed, or is there a hidden option? I can’t pay for support for this extremely basic question, which concerns 100% of developers.
Hey gemmenco,
Currently, there’s a built-in option to select a WordPress image size to enforce a similar aspect ratio or to specify a custom width, with the height remaining set to auto. Alternatively, you can use a simple CSS rule to enforce a fixed height with auto width. If you’d like help creating a rule like that, feel free to share the URL where the images are added in the format you’re trying to constrain.
Kind regards
Thanks for your feedback, but: - In image, the “custom” size doesn’t work with or without “px”) - I’ve tested all the CSS (even pro help, chatGpt…), yet a simple “min-height: 100vh;” (or “min-height: 100%;”) should work. A simple “height 100%” option on the image (or column) would simply solve the problem. This feature is essential, why are there no tutorials, no videos, no comments on this option? Can you just give me a single link? The theme is pretty good, but this feature is a no-go if it doesn’t work.
The “Custom” image size only accepts a registered WordPress image size name such as “medium”, “large”, etc. It will not accept CSS values or apply them to the img tag. If you want to style your image using CSS, you can do so by adding a class name via the “CSS class name” field and then adding your rules into the CSS box either in the page builder or in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab.
However, I’m not entirely sure I understand your goal. Are you trying to set a fixed height for your images so they align, while allowing the widths to vary? Or are you aiming to mimic a background-size: cover effect, where the image is cropped at the sides—essentially behaving like a background image and expanding to fill the columns fully on all sides? Could you please share a URL or a mockup showing what you’d like the two images to look like?
My requirement is very simple and basic; it’s a feature present in 100% of themes: In a row, all the photos must have the same height even if the column widths are different.
To put it simply, see the photo on the left and its alignment at the bottom: - The good result: https://snipboard.io/gl67XS.jpg - The bad result: https://snipboard.io/vdmNCS.jpg
That’s a “cover” style expansion, where the left image clips the sides to fill the available space. It’s a bit more complex than simply setting the height to 100%, which would stretch the aspect ratio instead of preserving it while cropping the edges—like in your “good result” screenshot.
While that effect can be achieved with CSS, there’s currently no built-in way to do it using a standard image element in WPBakery or Salient.
That said, you can still achieve the same result without custom CSS by setting the image as a background for the left column. Is there a reason you’re avoiding that approach? It’s the easiest way to make the secondary image scale automatically with the neighboring image. Here’s an example using a background image for the element that needs to match its sibling’s height: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/columns/#equal-height
Thank you again for your feedback and your time.
Salient allows for very professional layouts, but this essential setting is really a major bottleneck, and I don’t understand why your developer didn’t integrate it.
Background image > is not referenced > if there is no content, the image can disappear on a smartphone screen (I don’t know how your example avoids this problem).
Single image module: > The CSS “img{object-fit: cover;}” should work without a problem, but while the CSS works with rows and columns, it doesn’t work at all with the single image module (as if the CSS were blocked). > It doesn’t allow you to define a custom size; whether you define it with or without “px,” it doesn’t work. This essential module really needs to be reviewed.
You can place a “Divider” element into the empty column that contains the background image to set your desired height for each viewport. The Divider allows you to specify the height independently for each viewport, which is how the example page I shared achieves the desired column size on mobile. I’ve also noted the idea to include a “Fit to Container” toggle directly on the Image element for the next minor release.
Kind regards
Thank you, your tip works, even if it’s less effective for SEO. Yes, “Fit to Container” would be great! Bravo! And I hope the “Custom size” bug and the CSS blocking on the image module will also be fixed. Thank you for agreeing to provide a solution without paying for support, which is very reassuring for those who choose the Salient theme.
You’re very welcome, gemmenco
I have filled the refund form. Please check it once.
Not having elementor is also a main concern for me
Hey arkhmnights,
We already approved it earlier today.
Kind regards
Hi.
I am considering buying your theme.
Please tell me if it is possible to add a product filter (by attribute) to the sticky menu.
Thanks.
Hey arthurix,
You could insert links to the attribute archive URLs in your main navigation. For example, a link like: https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product-category/accessories/?filter_size=2-5oz-74mlHowever, we don’t provide any AJAX-style filtering for attributes that would be added to the navigation.
Kind regards
I am in search of a demo for pc repair niche, I like the dark menu of this theme and some elements but I wonder what will come in its major release of new features and if it is a long way off ? I am currently looking between salient or thegem.
Hey chevyweb,
We don’t currently have any demos planned for the PC repair niche. The next major version will include new design elements and a demo, but we don’t have release date set in stone at this time.
Kind regards
Hey Salient Team, Any way to get the pulsating circle icon option available in a CTA button? I’m trying to achieve a button that says ‘button an intro’ with a minimal rounded border and has the green pulsating circle icon to the left of the button. Tried the following but it was clunky and didn’t work like your native pulsating icon.
.link_wrap > i { position: relative; display: inline-block; animation: smooth-pulse 1.4s ease-in-out infinite; color: #81d742; /* Green like the original / font-size: 8px; line-height: 8px; width: 8px; height: 8px; }
/ Subtle scale pulse */ @keyframes smooth-pulse { 0% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 1; } 50% { transform: scale(1.4); opacity: 0.5; } 100% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 1; } }
Hey AkeatsKes,
It would indeed require custom CSS. Could you kindly share your URL with that implemented so that I can assist in making it smoother?
Kind regards
I found something I like better but if you could consider including that as an option in the future I would appreciate it!
Also, would you consider adding some customization for the Post Loop Builder? I’ve got Grid Item Height set to 60% on desktop and it looks great there, but it’s really big on mobile so ideally I would have a separate setting for mobile — ideally 40 or 50%.
Thanks!
Hey AkeatsKes,
I’ve noted that idea on the wishlist as well
For now, you could modify the height in mobile viewports by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
