Hi, I can’t find the text in the WPBackery RECENT POST widget button. The string is READ ARTICLE. I use WPML. I found a READ ARTICLE string, but translating it has no effect in Fontend; it stays in English. I also tried searching for it with Loco Translate, but to no avail. I’ve searched all the Salient plugins and theme files, but nothing.
I mean, the text to translate, of course
My site has performance issues according to PageSpeed Insights so I have been working with ChatGPT to resolve it and have been able to make some strides, however, we can’t get the LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) improved after trying many things so here is the end result provided by ChatGPT. My question to you is, is this accurate and the only method to resolve this or is there another way and if so, how?
The unavoidable conclusion As long as your hero is a Salient “Row Background Image”, your mobile LCP will remain bad. This is not: a WP Rocket problem a Cloudflare problem a preload problem a JS delay problem It is how Salient renders backgrounds.
✅ The ONLY fix that actually works (industry standard) Convert the hero to a real This is the same fix Google, Lighthouse, and performance engineers recommend for every background-image LCP case.
What changes Stop using Row Background Image Use a Single Image element instead Layer text above it (absolute/relative positioning) Why this works Browser discovers the image immediately Preload + fetchpriority are honored LCP fires when the image paints No JS class dependency No “loaded” wait
Hi there, demos after the import are completely messed up, layouts, everything…any hints how to fix it? thx
Hey kapralmedia, It sounds like the demo import may not have finished, which could explain the layout or styling issues you’re seeing. Please share the actual URL where the issue can be observed by opening a ticket on the support forum, and we’ll be happy to help. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hello friends,
the Salient Templates Button (usually above the page builder, next to Classic, Gutenberg, etc.) is not visible to me. I can’t access it.
It happened with the most recent update. I hope we can fix it. Please let me know where to look.
What I’ve already done:
- ensured the theme is up to date
- ensure all plugins or up to date (Salient Core Version 3.1.2)
Please let me know how to proceed, as I need to make changes to the Website asap.
Thank you!
Hey BernardZitzer, If you have enabled the Salient Custom Branding plugin, please check the Salient Options > Theme Features tab and make sure the “Hide Salient Studio Template Library” option was not previously enabled. Here’s the documentation on that plugin: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/custom-branding/
Kind regards
ahhh! wow! That helped. Thank you so much!!!
Hi mate, Can you please add the custom svg icon upload option for buttons? Elementor has this option that many users are using, why has Salient not that option? Just when we use Legacy button or Call to action button, we need custom icon option to upload our svg icons. Please let me know if this is possible in Salient.
Many thanks!
Hey serverchief123 
Thanks for the request – I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Kind regards
Many many thanks mate! I’m 100% sure many Salient users will like that option and it’s really important for developers/designer that need to rebuild Figma design to Salient website but with custom button icons etc
Also just like for carousels/ review-carousels etc with that arrow navigation but then with custom icons that would be really EPIC!
Many thanks!
Hi ThemeNectar,
I appreciate any help you could offer to resolve the issue I face.
If you visit the urls below you will notice I have a section called, “What’s Included:”. Under that are either 4 or 2 buttons which I need centre aligned. If the buttons are contained in a row and columns how can I make them centred aligned (side by side) while keeping the buttons the same width?
https://promeasurements.designreborne.com/2d-cad-package/ https://promeasurements.designreborne.com/floorplan-package/Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
You can switch from keeping each button in its own column to using a single column (1/1), place all buttons inside it, and then use Flexbox → Horizontal Display → Center Alignment in the column settings. If you want to force all buttons to be the same width, you can create a CSS rule that applies a fixed width to each button.
Kind regards
Hello, The theme is good, But I purchased this theme by mistake, expecting Elementor as the editor.
I have already submitted a refund request through Envato 4 days ago.
Could you please let me know how long it usually takes to receive a full refund?
Thank you.
Hey sabiksageer1,
I’m sorry that you purchased the theme by mistake – the typically time for an approved refund is 3-5 business days.
Kind regards
Hi! I hope you are doing great! Can you please update anime.js that salient uses to latest 4.3.5 version? because it’s conflicting with my animations and I am forced to use the salient version. thank you.
Hey po1nt,
anime.js v4 uses a different syntax and has a larger footprint, which would require changes to how the theme is loaded and increase the shipped file size. Since the theme doesn’t rely on any v4-specific features, we’ve chosen to remain on v3 for now to preserve compatibility and performance.
If I have updated to 18 but can’t import Harbor and the other new demos. What’s wrong then?
Hey johanborjesson, have you updated the Salient plugins as well? The latest version of the Salient Demo Importer plugin is required in order to access the new demos.
Kind regards,
Got it! Thanks!
You’re welcome, johanborjesson
Hi, when I enable the shape divider, there appears to be a white space under it in my header. Anyway to avoid this?
https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/visuals/And also it seems the quantum portfolio component is not working as expected. The thumbnail images for the portfolio category are visible on preview but not on the live url (same url as above)
https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-24-at-5.38.10-PM-scaled.pngHey JayCarver,
1. The shape divider I can see on that page is displaying as white: https://ibb.co/7J9mjCmw Do you have the Shape Divider Color field set to a different color? Or are you referring to something else? If so, could you kindly provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
2. Please try disabling your SiteGround optimization plugin, along with any other CSS-altering performance plugins you may have active, to rule out a caching or optimization issue.
Kind regards
Thanks the solution to disable the siteground plugin was the cause. However, there is still a white space between the black footer and the black section above it, and I’m not clear what’s causing it. The background for each section is set to black now. No other page with the footer has this issue. Any idea if this is a user error or something else?
https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/visuals/Hey JayCarver, It appears that there is a 10px bottom margin set on the row that holds the Post Loop Builder, based on an examination of the page source.
Hi – on the portfolio pages, how do I specify at the bottom a specific project category that I want the user to explore inside the explore more work component?
https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/portfolio/spectral/It’s not inside the actual page to edit that row.
For instance, I only want this page to explore a project category I have created called “visual,” but right now it defaults to another category I created.
Hey JayCarver,
The Related Projects section in that demo is added through a Global Section. You can edit the Post Loop Builder element there: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/Kind regards
Thanks, that’s helpful. I am struggling to get two global sections to appear on specific portfolio category pages.
I have a global section for “case studies” and another for “visual” work.
This is the global section for case studies https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/?salient_g_sections=portfolio-layered-related-projects This is the global section for visuals https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/?salient_g_sections=visual-motion-related-projectsI am trying to have the visual global section appear on portfolio pages, such as this https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/portfolio/spectral/
Currently, I am able to get the case study global section to appear on portfolio pages categorized as case studies https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/portfolio/napkin-of-rights/Hey JayCarver, Global Sections can only be previewed at those URLs by logged-in site admins—they’re only visible to the public when attached to a location to render, so I’m unable to see the sections you’re linking to. However, Global Sections utilize Display Conditions to determine the logic for when they display.
If you’d like further assistance with your setup, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum.
Hi, I have Transparent Header Effect with blur setup across the site but it does not take effect on wocommerce product pages. Can you please show me how to do it?
Here is the link of the product: https://novo.sulislife.com/wp/product/sulis-regenerator-za-kozu/
Thank you!
Sorry I posted the same question from a different account.
Hey ferrousandphoenix,
You can make that effect appear on all of your pages by changing the Header BG Opacity to 0 in Salient Options → Header Navigation → Logo & General Styling.
Kind regards

Hey jasminbarbir,
I’ve responded on your other comment

Hi, I have recently imported the new Harbor demo and I am trying to place two buttons side by side. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thank you for your help!
Hey gange5588!
You can set the button display to “inline”: https://ibb.co/hRm4mNs2
Or you can set the parent column to use a horizontal flexbox display: https://ibb.co/nS58wSd
Kind regards
Hey, on the Salient Architect Projects page, is it possible to add a second filter? For example filtering by attributes as well?
Hey nathan690, as of now, there’s no option to add secondary filters to the Post Loop Builder element. However, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Kind regards
I am updating an existing portfolio, and some pages have already been created. I imported layered theme and would like to know if there’s a way I can turn my existing portfolio pages into dark mode from the page level? Or do I have to individually update every section on the page?
For example, I would like to update pages like this https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/portfolio/napkin-of-rights/ to have the dark background and light text such as the template page that was imported https://staging10.jaysportfolio.com/portfolio/nexora/
Hey JayCarver,
In the Salient Options panel, you can set the Primary Background Color to a dark color and the Primary Text Color to a light color to globally change the content styling. However, if a background color has been explicitly set on existing rows, it will need to be removed to allow the primary background color to show.
Kind regards
Is it possible to drag rows up and down on the page using the element navigator?
I’m trying to use the visual frontend editor and while I can click the row on the left it doesn’t allow me to drag it up or down?
In some cases trying to select the row on the actual page is not possible either like this scenario https://staging11.jaysportfolio.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/example-scaled.png
Hey JayCarver,
1. No, the list view does not currently allow reordering within it. However, this feature is coming in the next release.
2. The row controls (and the drag handle) for that particular row are located further down, as shown in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/yBdHvczQ
Kind regards
Hi Salient
Is it possible to give ‘Sticky Content Sections’ an infinite scroll/content option, similar to the ‘wrap around’ infinite loop feature found in the Post Loop Builder carousel?
I am looking for a way to make the sections loop back to the first item once the user reaches the end of the sticky stack, creating a seamless scrolling experience.
Best Regards Juan
Hey Juan,
That wouldn’t be possible with how that element is structured without some custom development, as it relies on the native CSS position: sticky and native browser scrolling rather than a custom scroll event.
Kind regards
Thanks for the clarification.
You’re welcome, juanignaciocba
Hello ThemeNectar, I’d like to use both the Arrow Circle Animation button and the Basic button type on the same page. However, they scale differently because of the icon, which results in inconsistent button sizes. Is there a way to keep the button dimensions consistent for a cleaner result? Thanks.
Hey webspacedesignuk,
I’ve noted to include a control for that button’s arrow size in the next release so you can fine-tune it to match other button sizes. For now, you can adjust the top and bottom padding of the neighboring button.
Kind regards
I searched the documentation using search terms “Announcement Bar,” “top bar,” “notification bar,” and “harbor bar” but couldn’t find anything. I’m trying to access the red notification top bar that’s displayed on the Harbor theme. I checked the secondary navigation section and couldn’t find it there either. I’m trying to add a notification top bar and change the color from red to yellow. Can you tell me how I can find this?
Hey creationstudios,
That is created using a Global Section- here’s the documentation for that feature: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/The location used for the Global Section in that demo is “In Navigation Top Before Scrolling.”
Kind regards
