Version 18 is amazing! Love the Harbor and Signal demos. Absolutely killed it.
One thing, what font is used at the top of the Signal demo (in black against the orange background). Is that actually Helvetica you’re rocking, or is it a Google font?
Thanks so much. Salient is the best.
Thanks again.
You’re welcome, portpass1974! 
Looking forward to working with v18 – it looks great. Will it solve the following accessibility issue that I’m finding on v17.4.1?
My client wants all buttons on the site to say Read More, which is fine, but not very accessible for screen readers. However, the Salient button control has a field for “Link Text” and a separate field for “Aria Label Text”. The latter says it’s “Optional text to describe the link that will be used for screen reader accessibility.”
Great – so I can set button text to say Read More, and Aria Label Text to give a longer description with context for screen readers.
Except that’s not what happens. The Aria Label Text isn’t rendered in the HTML. At all. Why is that?
...as an aside, I’m also using Text Reveal Wave buttons, and the control for that button type also has an Aria Label Text field. Again, set that to something more descriptive and it’s completely ignored. The HTML that’s rendered does render aria-label text this time – but it’s not the text that you type into the “Aria Label Text” field in the button control. It’s just aria-label=”Read more”
Hey stu12k,
We’ve added the fix for that into v18.0.1, which is available now 
Cheers
Wonderful – that works perfectly. Thanks for the speedy response!
You’re welcome, stu12k 
Version 18 looks awesome! Very excited to implement some new sections. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot, Cgaffin – we’re happy to share it with the community!
Hey kamil_grk,
The space around the header navigation when using the Contained layout should match the background color you have set in the Salient options > general Settings > Styling tab for the “Primary Background Color” field. If that’s not set as a white as shown shown in your attachment, please share the actual page URL so I can take a look.
Kind regards
Hi team, just a quick one:
How can i set the colour of my blog text in the Post Loop Builder? I can only set to light and dark, but the “dark” option isn’t setting the colour to my global text colour. Could you please advise how to change it? It’s not only the title, I want to change the colour of the categories and meta as well.
(Perhaps a suggestion for these options for your next update)
Thank you!
Hey FCVOB!
As of now that would require a snippet of custom CSS, however I’ve noted to include the option in the next release 
Kind regards
Thanks for the response. Are you able to provide a snippet please?
Hey FCVOB,
I actually managed to squeeze that option into today’s release 
Cheers
Amazing! Thank you. Will I find it in the post loop builder?
That’s correct, FCVOB. In the Post Loop Builder element settings > Item Style tab.
Cheers
also, on the new vision demo how do you get the text scrolling in the red at top? thanks again!
Hey brianfreeman!
That’s added through a Global Section in the new location called “In Navigation Top Before Scrolling”.
Cheers
hi on new update my black background doesn’t always load right away and also the top text. only when I slightly scroll does the color change and the top wording. https://sfguide.co I’ve cleared caches on cloud flare and disabled cache plugin
Hey brianfreeman,
It looks like the CSS is being delayed by Hummingbird. Are you sure you’ve disabled it on your end?
Kind regards
Hi! Just wanna help. V18 bug report + simple feature proposition 1) Icon element forces accent color (custom color for icon and hover color are overwritten with !important of the accent color even when it’s set to custom color in Icon element settings) 2) In Salient options in Accent Colors there should be a way to create new accent colors (many) that appear then on that list in many elements to pick from. Thanks!
Hey po1nt!
Thanks for reporting that – it’ll be corrected tomorrow! I appreciate the request as well. Currently, you can add additional colors through a filter in your child theme, but a UI would be easier 
Kind regards
Hi,
Quick question about the new updates, specifically these features:
1. Dynamic Background Colors 2. Content Trail Cursor Effects 3. Chat conversation feature 4. Sticky Scrolling Effects
How are these impacting the performance? Are they using heavy CSS and JS?
Thanks
Hey toolbox101,
All of the interactive features we create are conditionally loaded — meaning their CSS and JS only run when needed. They’re also custom-built to stay lightweight and avoid heavy third-party libraries, so the overall performance impact is minimal.
Kind regards
Hi! Where can I find this demo? https://monosnap.ai/file/NFmW4sWKialWofuazTSjMDI9OhjHGX
Hey woolun!
That’s not a prebuilt website demo, but rather a new template in the Salient studio template library.
Kind regards
Hello, Seems you have had a major update and it has affected our website and not in a good way. We don’t know how to fix the things that have been changed for starters our footers, our fonts, our button colors to name a few. So who do we get ahold of to get this fixed and back to the way it is supposed to be? Thank You in advance.
We paid for support and where helped over there – Thank You.
Hey 4Peabody,
Thanks for opening a ticket earlier. For anyone else who may run into a similar issue with missing theme option styles: the main issue was that the WordPress Site/Address URL didn’t match the site protocol (HTTPS). This can be resolved by ensuring the correct protocol is entered in WP Admin under Settings → General.
Kind regards
Hi Support Team,
I need assistance with an issue on my website https://aidear.com.my/ , which is currently using Salient Theme version 18.0.
When I go to WP-Admin → Appearance → Menus → Add Menu Items, no items appear under Pages, Posts, Products, or Product Categories. All sections are empty, and I am unable to add anything to the menu.
Here is a screenshot of the issue: https://ibb.co.com/9krkq52DCould you please help check what might be causing this and advise what steps I should take so that the menu items become visible again?
Hey shaky512, I haven’t been able to replicate this. If you’ve confirmed that the issue still occurs after deactivating all of your other third-party plugins, feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
ccccccccccccccccccccccrazy! What an update! Thanks! We can feel the influence of your other project… and it’s all good!
However, I retired from web development two months ago. I won’t be actively involved in the community anymore. I will, however, follow the development of this fantastic WordPress theme. Thank you for everything!
Hey Louis!, thanks so much for the kind words!
Wishing you all the best in your new chapter 
Thank you mate! Was a honnor to work with you and your team. Keep up your good work.
Likewise!
Hello Team hope this finds you well Excellent design. Ks it possible to add widgets to mobile menu?
Hey Walizen, thanks a lot!
In the Appearance > Widgets section of the WP admin, there should be an “Off Canvas Menu” location which you can use for that.
Kind regards
Wooow, nice major update! Modern look, smooth animations, new helpful functionalities – well done!
Best regards, Alex
Hey Alex, thanks for much for the kind words.
I’m glad that you’re liking the new release!
Cheers
Congrats and thank you for the new release ! New demos are very cool, I’ve questions about your other product : Nectar Blocks, do you plan to add the new Salient features to Nectar Blocks too ?
Hey technique-krealid, thanks a lot!
Yes, some of the elements will make their way into Nectarblocks as well 
Kind regards
I just updated the theme, and this is how images appear on my blog posts. I tried to clear the cache, but nothing happens. Please advise
https://ibb.co/ZRjQjmbS
Hey atlantchiropractic, you likely have an older stylesheet hard-cached by your performance plugin. Try fully disabling the SiteGround Optimizer plugin to ensure the fresh assets load. If the issue still occurs, please share the website URL so we can take a look.
Kind regards
Just confirmed, it’s Siteground Optimizer plugin. Disabled it. Installed LiteSpeed Cache instead. Working now. Guess have to wait until SIteground updates it’s plugin. but working fine on my other website. Thank you
I’m glad that was the case, atlantchiropractic 
Kind regards
Great update. These latest updates are very nice and creative but I think it would be best to add new corporate style designs. Not everyone wants huge fonts and fancy animations.
You have some but those are already old. Would you please consider for next big release?
Again, awesome update!
Hey toolbox101,
Thanks for the feedback – I’m glad that you like v18 so far 
Kind regards
Hi!
Great update, thank you! I just want to help, I am mostly reporting because I don’t know what that means.

Hey po1nt!
Thanks for mentioning those. I’ve noted to address them in the first minor release.
Cheers
Wow, what a beautiful theme, you are always ahead of the rest.
I installed the theme, but I unable to see the right column content to be able to edit those in the back. It shows blank column on WP Bakery. However it shows on the live site exactly as shows on your demo. I’ve searched the code and I don’t see the content such as 23 Insights. Please advise.
https://themenectar.com/salient/tether/#featuresPlease disregard it, I figured it, I had to import demo.
Hey frankapp, I’m glad that you’re digging the new demos!
A few sections in the Tether demo are created using Global Sections, which will only be imported when doing the demo install.
Cheers
