Hello! Is it possible to move the single blog post date + estimate time above the title instead of below?
Been looking everywhere for that. Thanks!
Hey imjesuschiko!
Can you let me know which Blog Header Type you have selected in the Salient options > Blog > Single Post Header tab?
Kind regards
I have “Featured Media Under Heading” selected as the Blog Header Type
Thanks imjesuschiko,
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:
.featured-media-under-header__content {
gap: 20px;
}
.featured-media-under-header__content div {
order: 2;
}
.featured-media-under-header__content .featured-media-under-header__meta-wrap {
order: 1;
}
.featured-media-under-header .entry-title {
margin: 0;
}
Cheers
Hello
I’m stuck. I’m using a one-page layout, and the menu uses anchors to jump to the right place. But now I want to create a blog page. I have the same menu there for now. Of course, it doesn’t work on the blog page because there are no anchors. Can I use a second menu for the blog page? I can’t find a description of how to do this. Thanks in advance for your effort.
Hey monxx!
You can add the full URL of the page where the anchors exist to each of your anchor links so they work across the entire website. For example, usehttps://domain.com/page/#anchorinstead of
#anchor
Kind regards
Thx. Now it works fine.
Glad that I could help, monxx 
hi, I have a white background on the sub-menu, any way to get this white background with 100% opacity? https://dimagepruebas.com/veli/ thanks
Hey dimage,
You can add in the following CSS to achieve that: https://pastebin.com/cf94sHGBKind regards
thanks!
You’re welcome, dimage 
Hi! I spent a lot of time working on salient optimization and I achieved pretty amazing results. I know you are working on the V18, so I have one suggestion (if I may).
One of the elements that is last standing and generates highest LCP after all optimizations I did is “class=”starting-logo skip-lazy default-logo”” and all connected like “stnd skip-lazy default-logo”, “starting-logo dark-version skip-lazy default-logo” etc. basically I made the website lightning fast but this is the last LCP element that generates unnecessary LCP even when I use low size webp images.
Also I don’t know if you are interested, but OLS and Litespeed cache plugin are the most popular servers/plugins for making websites super fast. If you could at least look how you can make the optimizations/integration better salient could load super fast. I made a heavy site using salient and I achieved A grade in GTmetrix with 300-700ms of LCP, 0ms next content paint, 0 layout shift. As I said the last thing that disallows me to make it lower is that logo element.
Please think about it. Thank you for everything you do. I hope you are healthy and ok! Have a good day/night!
Hey po1nt!
Thanks for your notes. V18 will include additional performance optimizations as well. Regarding the logo, you can add the nectar_logo_output function to your child theme and echo an inline SVG logo if desired – This will allow you to bypass any LCP render delay.
Kind regards
Thank you! <3
Hey there,
Love the theme!
Just wanted to asked about future components -
Are there any plans for a sticky sidebar table of contents? (If not, is there a plugin the team suggests for portfolio case studies).
Is there any plans for a stacked card component (i.e showing five versions of the same design). Actually this would be exactly like the layered portfolio but with just images?
Thanks!
For the sticky sidebar what Im really looking for is something that as you scroll the page it highlights the section you are currently reading.
Hey lessthanrichy! I’m glad that you’re enjoying Salient 
1. In the “Tabs” element, you can select “Vertical Sticky Scrolling” setting in order to get that functionality.
2. 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
Thank you! That helps. Is it possible to have the tabs on the left side and on the right side the sticky cards? When I try to add content to the right side – I can’t add Salient templates such as Sticky Content Sections. Thanks!—
got it – I just dragged it onto the row and it worked. Thanks again!
I’m glad that I could help, lessthanrichy 
looking to purchase this theme asap. is it posiible to import https://themenectar.com/salient/ as is or is there documentation to rebuild this page nav menu and all?
Im ready to purchase this, but we need just need to ensure we will have the ability to recreate this site: https://themenectar.com/salient/ exactly. Particularly the elements menu on the site, do you have documentation on that menu, I was looking at your documentation and “importable” demos but none of them have this menu style. We spent money on a theme based on a demo that sort-of “bait and switch” us before, so i just want to make sure we are able to do what we want before we buy. But we are EXTREMELY interested.
Hey jStormThaKid,
We don’t offer our own website as an importable demo. The available importable demos are listed in the Prebuilt Websites section. https://themenectar.com/salient/prebuilt-websites/
Our main website for ThemeNectar/Salient was indeed built using Salient. However, to maintain our unique branding and product identity, we intentionally do not provide a one-click import option for it.
Kind regards
That’s ashame, non of your demos have a menu like the main site that shows of your product. That’s the only version my client wants to build from, so unfortunately we will have to pass on purchasing this product. Thank you for your time.
i hope we will see soon header builder
cant wait. oh and also more salient templates
Hey C_Drosos,
Header builder requests noted We’re rolling out new templates and many exciting features in v18, which is coming later this month!
Is it AI? Is it AI?
Hey C_Drosos,
We’re not including an AI system in v18 – if you would like to get the latest beta / changelog, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Hey ThemeNectar,
I’m working on a custom project and the best way to do this would be to create a grid using the Post Loop Builder. There’s only one issue I’m having, we have a huge amount of images using the Nectar Slider where each image is loaded into its own slide. We’d love to bring each one of those slides into the Post Loop Builder by category for each Portfolio page we have. When I go to choose Post Type and apply Custom, there isn’t an option for Slides under Select Post Type. When I attempt to choose Narrow data source, it doesn’t bring up “slides” under that request. Is there any way to pull the nectar slides into the Post Loop Builder? This would be awesome if able.
Thanks!
Hey lookwhoo,
You’ll need to copy the nectar_slider_register function from wp-content/plugins/salient-nectar-slider/includes/admin/register-post-type.php into your child theme. Then, change the public parameter to true (it’s set to false by default) so that it appears within the Post Loop Builder.
Kind regards
Great, thanks so much! We’ll give this a try 
You’re welcome, lookwhoo 
Hi, my image gallery on the portfolio item is loosing too much quality when viewed on mobile. Here is the link: https://curumari.com/portfolio/caramel/ How can I force a higher image resolution? Tnx
Hey kayota,
It looks like the height set for the images on phones is taller than it is on tablets. If you reduce the height (currently 550 px), it should improve the render quality. I’d suggest trying a value of around 350 px for the phone viewport.
Kind regards
on this page https://themenectar.com when you stroll up and the column enlarged to cover the hero image. Is that in the Salient theme? How is that done. Or is it in the Nectarblocks?
Hey royshell, themenectar.com is using Salient. That effect is created using the Row Animation -> Clip Path Inset. If you would like assistance recreating that section, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Funny enough me and the last commenter might be dealing with the same issue. For me the read more link on the post builder was not working when it was inside a megamenu. I had to increase the z-index on the link wrapper to get it to work.
.megamenu-outer-row .nectar-post-grid-link{z-index:99;}
I’m on Salient Version: 17.0.7
Hey veggie_89,
Thanks for letting us know. I’ve noted to get this fix in for the next release.
Kind regards
Hello Team,
Please take a look at this video showing a strange bug I’ve encountered with the Mega Menu (designed using a Global Section). Adding links within a column seems to cause a display issue.
You can see the issue more clearly in the video: https://youtu.be/9iIpkXYD5UM
I’d really appreciate your feedback on this.
Thanks a lot, and have a great day!
Best regards, Alex
Hey Alex!
That video appears to be set to private. Could you kindly adjust the privacy settings so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Best regards. Alex
Hey – unfortunately, it’s still showing as private on my end.
Now it should be good.
Thanks, Alex. I haven’t been able to replicate that issue locally yet. Can you confirm whether the same behavior occurs after updating to the latest version of Salient (17.4.x)
Kind regards
Hi team, Thanks a lot for your reply. You have the good solution. With updating the theme the behavior was fixed.
Thanks a lot for your support. Have a great day. Best regards.
I’m glad to hear, Alex 
eta when the version 18 might come out? and will it include a new blog version? thanks again!
Hey brianfreeman!
Before the end of this month. There’s no new blog demo, but there are 3 other new demos coming and a ton of new features and improvements! If you’d like to get the beta, feel free to reach out via the contact form on my author page.

Hey there,
is it possible so make a row five columns to be shown?
ThX, Oliver.
Hey Oliver,
When editing the column number, you can select the 1/5×5 arrangement on the end of the list.
Kind regards
Oh, wow. Thx a lot. Never seen this option befor.
You’re welcome, born-design 
Hi
The theme is great. I have two questions.
1) I want to use vertical menu. I am also using text in the menu function. Right now the text is in the middle.
How do i put the text right above social media icons? If there is an option to adjust the distance between them i would appreciate the instruction how to.
2) In the said text section i plan to use some text. Then next line should be an email address. I am using < br > for line separation. If i create a hyperlink out of the email address (mailto:) it looks weird. There is more space between the line above and the hyperlink line (it is also underlined). The underlining part looks great. The distance part – not really. Is there a way to keep the distance between normal text line and a hyperlink line similar to between two text lines.
I appreciate the answers.
Cheers.
Hey arthurix 
1. 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: 1000px) {
li.nectar-header-text-content-wrap {
position: absolute !important;
width: 220px;
bottom: 0px;
left: 30px;
}
}
2. Try using the following CSS snippet:
#header-outer #top .nectar-header-text-content a {
padding: 0;
}
Kind regards
Hello, I have a question about Main Navigation.
I’m using the ‘Centered Logo Menu Alt’. With a logo height of 134px, and 60px for mobile.
I’d like the header to resize when scrolling the page with the ‘Header Hide Until Needed’ option. To do this, I use the ‘Header Resize On Scroll’ option, but the logo and header don’t change size! Is this possible?
When I simply check the ‘Header Resize On Scroll’ option, the header is well resized to 60px.
And is it possible to use a different logo when resize on scroll as well?
In General Setting, Theme Skin i use Material. And Off Canvas Menu is ON
Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun working with your great theme.
Hey astango!
The Hide Header Until Needed option override the resize effect. You could accomplish it manually 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:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
#header-outer:not(.at-top) #logo,
#header-outer:not(.at-top) .logo-spacing {
margin-top: 18px;
margin-bottom: 18px;
}
#header-outer:not(.at-top) #logo img {
height: 20px;
}
}
The only way you’ll be able to switch your logo on scroll is when using the Transparent Header Effect in the Header Navigation tab. It allows for an alternative logo when in the transparent state.
Kind regards
Thank you very much for your support. It’s working well
Merci !
You’re welcome, astango 
I’ve noticed something interesting and I’m not sure whether it’s a bug or an intended behavior. If I have a page built with WPBakery Builder that contains individual CSS styles specific to that page, and I restore that page using the WordPress “Revisions” feature, the CSS styles inserted in the “Page Settings” section of WPBakery are not restored — that section remains empty after the revision is applied, meaning the custom CSS styles are deleted.
Hey romankac,
That’s a known issue with the current WPBakery which will be fixed in the upcoming release.
Kind regards
Hi, may I ask if this issue has already been fixed in version 18.0?
Specifically, I’m referring to the problem where restoring a page via WordPress “Revisions” does not restore the custom CSS added in the WPBakery “Page Settings” section — leaving that field empty after applying a revision.
Thanks!
Hey romankac,
Yes, the fix for that is included in the latest release of the Salient WPBakery Page Builder.
Cheers
Remind me: how do I get the “Off Canvas Menu” to slide from the right over the page rather than pushing the whole page left?
Hey quomo,
You can get that animation by switching the theme skin to “Original” or “Ascend” in the Salient options panel > General Settings tab
Kind regards
Hi, I’m trying to remember how to fix line height for page header title in portfolio on mobiles.
I can set the font size in Responsive Settings but not the line height. The result is that the titles overlap horizontally when viewed in one column – please see here https://www.galadigital.uk/portfolio/photography-video-for-arts-design/
Thank you 
Hey b1b!
That looks like a newer issue related to the auto project header option. You can correct it prior to the next release 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 (max-width: 1000px) {
body.single-portfolio .row .col.section-title.span_12 h1 {
line-height: 1.2;
}
}
Kind regards
Hi! Bug report. Lottie player is bugged, creates some loop artifacts. Example of a lottie that does this: https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/7b1f4859-2396-4b3b-b907-b535872550e9 Whenever I add it to my site lottie player have problems with creating a constant loop and restarts it + adds some weird artifact. Other example: https://app.lottiefiles.com/share/8388e2aa-4f19-4b3d-9b44-ab85370f6be3 Whenever I use those 2 inside lottie player (latest salient) I can’t create an effect of it seamlessly looping regardless having all settings for looping from beginning to end. It just restarts (jump starts from the frst frame without seamlessness). I don’t understand the reason. Please investigate. Thank you.
Hey po1nt,
I can’t replicate any issues with the loop option when testing Lottie files locally or on the live demo. Can you replicate the same issue when testing with the Lottie Helpful Hero Salient Studio template? If so, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards so we can take a closer look at your site.
Thanks in advance
Sorry I can’t afford $42 support now because I have just enough to survive and I am building a business totally by myself using AI to lift myself up using salient. After I make first clients I for sure can buy support.
So if this is not a problem I created for you an example page: https://heavenly69.com/lottieloopbroken/
mouth.json creates some weird artifact that animation jumps and creates new frames?! that are not present in the official lottie project?? sonar.json just restarts the animation at it’s end without seamless loop effect.
I also attach two screenshots of the wp bakery builder settings here: https://imgur.com/a/vd1pm9nPS. The funniest thing is that inside the lottie element settings in this little lottie player preview at the top left it plays (loops) well, but when live on site as published page it breaks (?).
Please help (if you are willing of course). Thank you! <3
Hey po1nt, thanks for the detailed explanation and links.
I’ve noted to investigate that closer for the upcoming v18 release.
Kind regards
