Hello, Is it possible to use 6 columns in the post loop builder? Currently, I can only set a maximum of 4 columns. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Hey nacaodesign,
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:

Thank you so much, it worked exactly as desired. As always, your support was excellent.
I’m glad that I could help, nacaodesign

For anyone else having issues with the new color picker module. The new color picker module in the WPBakery settings is pretty much unusable because it’s not positioned right the editor when you use it and it’s half out of the viewport on the row editor. You can only see half of it. Add this to your functions functions to fix.
add_action('admin_head', 'fix_salient_color_picker');
function fix_salient_color_picker() {
echo '<style>
.pcr-app wpb-pickr visible {
left: 370px !important;
}
.pcr-app[data-theme=classic] {
left: 370px !important;
}
</style>';
}
Hey wallyd,
We’ve only been able to replicate this issue in Safari – Chrome and Firefox should not be affected. However, you can reveal the color picker by dragging the element settings modal to the left. Just click and drag the top blue bar to move it, which should uncover the color picker without needing to use CSS.
We’ll be addressing this in the next release as well.
Kind regards
This is still broke. And yes, Safari.. Can I disable this thing and go back to the old color picker?
Hey wallyd,
WPBakery does not offer an option to switch between color pickers—they have integrated the new one without providing an alternative. However, you can request this feature or share feedback about preferring the older color picker in the comments section here. The CSS which we will be implementing to correct this issue in the upcoming minor release is as follows – you can modify your existing admin_head action to use it instead:
body .vc_ui-panel-content {
z-index: auto;
}
Kind regards
Hello, the theme looks great. Pre-purchase question; does importing one demo limit you to only use the pages available in that demo. I see for example corporate 3 has not about us page yet agency and some others have about us pages.
If I needed other pages available in other demos would I be able to use them with corporate 3?
Hey elkiyingi!
You can import multiple demos to get all the pages from each one, and then delete any pages you don’t need.
Kind regards
Hello there! Thanks for the fantastic theme.
Question: is there the possibility for the page submenu to not switch to mobile version (with tap + vertical menu) and remain horizontal with horizontal sliding of links instead?
Many many thanks!
Hey Fabilous, thanks for the kind words
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:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1px) and (max-width: 999px) {
body .page-submenu .mobile-menu-link {
display: none;
}
body .page-submenu ul {
position: relative;
top: 0;
width: auto;
display: block;
}
body #ajax-content-wrap .page-submenu ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
}
Cheers
Thanks for your support! I added the code and the menu appears ok for mobile. But when I click on one link, it disappears. Even if I add via CSS the display:block !important on the
- that is having the display:none inline (via JS I think) there’s a weird effect that makes the submenu appearing and reappearing.
Is there maybe any other thing that can be done for just maintaining the submenu displayed correctly for mobile?
Many many thanks!
Found out that adding height: auto !impotant to the submenu
- make it works ok.
Another question (many many thanks for the support): is it possible to have a “normal” parralax within a row that has image or video background, so not having to select the “Mouse Based Parallax Scene” where the parallax is based with other images?
Thanks!
Hey Fabilous, I’m glad you were able to sort out the page submenu modification
You can enable a parallax scrolling effect in the Animation tab in the Row element by enabling the option titled “Parallax Background Media On Scroll”
Good evening ThemeNectar,
Amazing theme as always, loving the updates!!
Quick question, do you know of a plugin or app that would allow me to convert a Figma website into a Wordpress website that is compatible with WPBakery Page Builder? Any suggestions or in-sight you could offer would be great appreciated. Many thanks.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
Unfortunately, I don’t have a plugin to recommend for that, but I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist
Kind regards
Hey! All of a sudden, I can no longer upload SVG logos to my portfolio site. This never used to be an issue but now when the SVG file is uploaded to the media folder, the preview is blank. When the file is added into the client logo row it’s a broken image.
Any idea why this is now happening?
Hey A_K,
We haven’t made any changes on our end regarding SVG support. Since WordPress doesn’t support SVG uploads by default, I’m assuming you’re still using the same plugin or snippet to enable SVGs as before. I recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to check if they’ve made any recent changes related to this.
Kind regards
Hmm, ok. Thank you, I will check with them. Appreciate the help.
You’re welcome, A_K
i want to use ”Modern Stacked” portfolio how do i achieve this
i would like to use this for portfolio images not post how can i do that
Hey krazy4sales,
That’s created using the Post Loop Builder page builder element. There’s a template in the Template Library you can import to your page to get started quickly. https://ibb.co/bjK2BVgp
Kind regards
Your theme is ok for the WCAG 2.0 ? Now in europe it is mandatory. so is keyboard navigation possible without adding plugins and other accessibility requirements? Thank you
Hey Italc,
Version 17.3.0 introduced additional accessibility improvements, so you should be able to meet accessibility requirements. However, certain aspects such as adding appropriate ARIA attributes and ensuring correct color contrast etc. are still your responsibility when building.
Kind regards
ok
In the Scrolling Text element, I can see that you can add an image. However, the image inside the div class “nectar-scrolling-text-inner__text-chunk” is resized heavily. How could I override this? I need a PNG logo to scroll.
Hey quomo,
You’ll need to use custom CSS to specify a custom size when placing an image into that element. Here’s an example:
body .row .col .nectar-scrolling-text-inner img {
width: 20vw;
max-width: none;
}
If you’d like further assistance, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum and include your page URL so we can take a look and assist you.
Kind regards
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome, quomo
Hey guys,
Thank you for the recent update! I may have missed it, but has there been any “fix” for the WP Bakery default behavior of scrolling the editor to where it thinks you should be when adding content?
I know it’s not your fault – it’s just such odd UX
Thank you as ever for the amazing product you’ve created!
Hey ND81!
You can now disable that in the WPBakery Page Builder Settings > Module Manager via the option labeled “Scroll to element”.
Kind regards
Thanks! Will take a look
You’re welcome, ND81
Worked a treat! Thanks again
One further question; my website has the header stay with the user as the page scrolls, but on one particular page I want to it stay at the top; strange I realize, but visually it works better on this particular page.
Is there some CSS I can target for this particular page to achieve this, or another approach you can think of?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry – one further question to better understand how I best build a particular page.
I have a Nectar Slider on a page, and thinking about page loading speed, rather than load in the full size desktop images for mobile devices, should I have a separate Nectar Slider gallery for mobile and for desktop (in two separate Rows) with device specific images, checking the respective hide boxes in the ‘Responsive’ tab for the two rows?
My only uncertainty here is simply does hiding those rows still load in the resources (i.e. desktop images in the Nectar Slider on a mobile device) but simply not show them?
Hey ND81,
1. You could remove the stickiness of your navigation on a single page by adding the following CSS to the page builder via the top right gear icon
#header-outer {
position: absolute !important;
}
2. Using two instances would not be recommended. However, v18 will be changing those images to load responsively by default. If you would like early access, feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page.
Cheers
Thank you!
Just as it’s a client site, I might hold on the early access, but how far percentage wise are we talking for it? If it’s a while off yet, I may go for it nevertheless
Hey ND81, I would estimate the release to be about a month away.
Kind regards
Excellent! I’ll likely hold off – very much appreciate the heads up. Good luck for the next version, and as always, thank you so much for this incredible project
Of course, ND81
Cheers
do i need to activate theme after installation i mean do i need to put in some authentication code of any sort or its not the case?
Hey xahidofficial,
You don’t need to enter the license code in the theme options panel, but you will need to authorize the purchase through the Envato Market plugin to receive updates. It appears that your current account hasn’t purchased the theme. Do you have another Envato account that holds a license?
Hi, I am working on the website (priv8.website) when I resize my browser making it smaller, my text overlaps and my donate button text stacks up. How do I fix this? Ideally, I’d like it to collapse into the hamburger menu – which it does, but not before a weird stacking and overlap. Thanks for your help
Hey aarontjoseph94,
You can set a custom Header Mobile Breakpoint in the Salient option > Header Navigation > Mobile Header tab. If you increase the breakpoint by a 100px, it should prevent that.
Kind regards
Hi Guys! What plugin you recomend for GDPR in JUN 2025, the website is for Spain the have explicit politic and the user need to make and action to aprove the access and send personal data, You recomend this plugin 6 years ago https://wordpress.org/plugins/gdpr-cookie-compliance/ now still ok? I need to preserve the speed of the site and i dont want any crash in the site. Now is fluid, and very quick to navigate, Thanks a lot.
Hey antalvespo,
That plugin is still compatible – You can also utilize Local Google Fonts to prevent needing a GDPR plugin, unless you also have other third-party scripts which collect user data.
Kind regards
what is the activation procedure of the theme after purchasing?
Hey xahidofficial,
It’s recommended to setup the Envato Market plugin in order to receive updates and to register your account on the Support Forum to get access to premium support:

Has Google font “Cal Sans” been added? You said it would be added in the next minor release.
Hey Romeyaz,
Our apologies for not including that in 17.3. If you would like immediate access to that, feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page and we can provide access to it prior to the next release.
Kind regards
Quick question -
When using the Portfolio and setting the project style to display as Meta below thumb w/ shadow hover is there any way to change the heading level of the portfolio item title from a h4 to a h3?
Thanks so much – Really great theme btw!
Hey lessthanrichy, thanks for the kind words!
You can alter the heading level when using the Post Loop builder element, but not the legacy Portfolio element by default. If you need to change it in the Portfolio element, you’ll need to override the template file in your child theme.
Kind regards
Thanks so much.
I’m using the portfolio – is there any chance that option could be added in the future via an update?
If I was to edit via a child theme what template file would I need to modify?
Thanks again !
Hey lessthanrichy!
I’ve noted the idea to include the option to modify it in the Portfolio element via an element option. The file which controls that output is: wp-content/plugins/salient-portfolio/includes/frontend/shortcode.php You would need to copy the entire nectar_portfolio_processing function from it to your child theme.
Kind regards
Hi there, i am having trouble with the raw html block. I am putting in a JSON script into the page to help with SEO. However after trying many times to figure out what was going wrong and it not showing up i turned to chatgpt for answers.
It turns out that your WPBAKERY builder encodes the JSON file into a base64-encoded data snippet.
It turns out that google will not read anything that is base64-encoded. This is a big issue and perhaps something you guys might want to look at.
Are there any alternatives to fix this for the time being?
Below is the chat with chatgpt.
>>>>
What you’re seeing at the bottom of your source is base64-encoded data, not human-readable JSON-LD schema. That’s not the correct way for structured data to appear—Google will not read schema when it’s encoded this way. Why did this happen?
Some page builders (including some settings in WPBakery/Salient) automatically “encode” anything in a <script> tag inside a Raw HTML block, especially if it’s not allowed for security reasons, or if shortcodes are processed before HTML.
Instead of outputting your JSON-LD code as-is, they’re converting it to a string of letters and numbers (“base64” or sometimes JavaScript-escaped).
Googlebot cannot read or index structured data that is encoded or hidden this way.
If your schema appears as “letters” or encoded blobs at the bottom of the source, Google cannot see it and it’s not working.
>>>>>
Hey Wobblefin,
While WPBakery saves the raw HTML/JS elements with their data encoded for security, the actual output should still render the correct <script> tag unencoded and functional, not base64-encoded. If you’d like additional help troubleshooting your snippet, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum.
Kind regards
Hi,
Quick question, where is this setting found? “Added landmark roles for improved accessibility”
Also, was the WPBakery scrolling down fixed in this update?
thanks
Hey toolbox101,
1. It’s not a theme option. The main content areas within Salient now automatically add the correct landmark roles.
2. In the latest version, you can toggle that functionality in the WPBakery Page Builder settings > Module manager.
Kind regards
I’ve purchased this theme three times for different projects, and I can confidently say it’s the most comprehensive, fully customizable, and well-designed WordPress theme available If I could I’d give it 15 stars!
I couldn’t find where to leave a rating otherwise, I would have done it already
Hey jawadelmeladi,
That means a lot! I’m glad to hear it’s been working great for your projects
Cheers
When is the next update/release expected? Woo 9.9.x support?
Hey dzineee,
17.3 was released earlier today, and provides compatibility with the latest WooCommerce. https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
