Hello Team,
Within our client’s website setup, there exists a global section identified by the ID 146056, strategically placed in the “After Page Content” section, situated above the footer. This global section is employed across all pages using the Salient theme’s options.
However, a challenge has emerged: there isn’t a specific option available within Salient to exclude this section from certain critical pages like the cart (ID:1), checkout (ID:2), or my-account (ID:3), wishlist (ID:4) etc.
Initially, I utilized CSS to hide the section, but this approach resulted in conflicts.
Rather than simply hiding it, my objective is to prevent the global section from appearing on select pages.
Is there a viable method to accomplish this, perhaps by integrating a script into the functions.php file?
Although I explored the new feature of setting the display condition to false, unfortunately, it lacks a field to specify URLs or page IDs for ensuring the section’s invisibility on designated pages.
Hey princebhalani143, You would need to programmatically exclude the global section via an action in your child theme functions.php. Here’s an example of such a snippet: https://pastebin.com/SvRiDuAs
If you need further assistance, please open a ticket on the support forum in regards.
Kind regards
Thank you 
Hi, I’m using Salient MAG, I’m trying to only display the date on a single post, it doesn’t work, if I turn Remove Post Author On, but if I turn it off it’s Remove Post Author.
Date appears.
I only want to display the date without displaying the author. https://prnt.sc/feCs50UEUIG0
Then the next thing is that I use the post loop builder, I activate the post date meta data, it can display but not the date that I created in publish date. if i publish 5 Dec, appear there still the current date is 8 Dec https://prnt.sc/4-lTPk8GLls1
Hey shaky512,
1. You’ll need to switch your “Blog Header Author Style” to “Small Image Inline” to bypass that in the Salient options > Blog > Single post header tab.
2. You can change which date is displayed (edited vs. published) in the Salient options > Blog > functionality tab
Please use the support forum in the future when posting multiple questions. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Thanks in advance
OK, everything worked, thank you very much, Salient is the best
You’re welcome, shaky512 
hello
hope you’re well. I have a couple of hopefully simple questions 
This is the link https://inseason.app
1. I’m trying to create 3 columns on mobile and desktop. I’ve changed lots of options based on https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-columns/#width but I’m not getting the result I need.
This is what I need https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rkn6b9b51oz550ajcixrh/Screenshot-2023-12-06-at-18.46.14.png?rlkey=1bbslc9qo7mrofv23my7bs99z&dl=0
JUL Left, AUG centred, SEP right aligned all on the same base line, I got it working on desktop but then it threw mobile off
I have this set up on the backend editor https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bchw33trjjyf5zq9znyfm/Screenshot-2023-12-07-at-15.12.27.png?rlkey=j8p3fwn6jrqvw0ga81le2lwbu&dl=0
2. Can I change the font and font size of the tabs. Ive set up Fruit and Veg as I need as text and then the smaller tabs that are active underneath – is it possible to target the tabs fonts to be the same font and size (H4) and if possible styled as I have on the above screenshot?
Thanks for your help in advanced.
All the best
J
On 2. I found the font and size in General HTML elements > Form and Category Labels
Sorry missed that.
The font is set to H4 settings but the font now cuts off the bottom https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7zmoihpwp14ibffdzjs3w/IMG_6013DCBB3924-1.jpeg?rlkey=wo7vnt18ysqcmh3dhjf9y3tkg&dl=0
Anything that needs changing?
Hey stsw,
1. Salient uses a 12 column grid system, so you should be setting those columns to 4 columns each instead of 3 to get a full 3 column layout right any excess space on the right.
2. You can use the following CSS to alter the tabs as in your screenshot: https://pastebin.com/wA4NvHG4Cheers
Thank you’re a ★
Glad I could help, stsw 
Hi, Wordfence has found that the plugin “Salient Core” has a security vulnerability: https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/salient-core/salient-core-202-authenticated-contributor-stored-cross-site-scripting Can you please fix it? Thank you
Hey lironnave,
That was patched back in August: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#16-0-5
You can read about updating from here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Kind regards
Hey apinzon!
The blog settings for single posts allow you to specify a narrow content width in the Salient options > Blog > Single post tab. However, if you want to have a narrow width that’s smaller than the minimum offered in the theme options for all of your pages globally, you’ll need to add a custom CSS rule.
body .container {
max-width: 1000px;
}
Kind regards
Thanks. Works great.
Glad I could help, apinzon 
Hi, Following up on this item, I’d like to mention that I added your rule with 850px width. It looks great on desktop, but on mobile, the padding to the left and right of the screen disappears, making the content look bad and at the edge of the screen both in the nav bar and in the content body. Any idea on what I can do to add that max width and still make it look good on mobile?
Hey apinzon,
You can wrap the rule in a media query like so:
@media only screen and (min-width: 950px) {
body .container {
max-width: 850px;
}
}
Kind regards
Hello, can I create a different menu for inner pages? I want different menus to appear for 3 of my pages. In the Header section.
Or can I solve it with a plugin?
Hey guestylE, you can use a plugin such as Conditional Menus to have unique menus per page.
Kind regards
Hi, How do I accomplish this navigation? https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/#locations Thanks!
Hey apinzon,
I’m not sure what “navigation” you’re referring to from those docs. However, if you’re looking to gain access to the newer global section options, you’ll just need to ensure you’re using a recent release of Salient (v16+) and Salient Core (v2.0+).
Kind regards
Hi, I just meant that this example page has a sidebar menu to the left that allows the user to click through it. I would like to use a similar element on my page. How can I do it? Thanks!
Hey apinzon, thanks for the clarifcation. That page is using the “Tabs” page builder element set to “Vertical Sticky Scrolling” for the “Style”.
Kind regards
Hello – thanks again for a great theme. I have a question recording a WooCommerce store section. I have a site which has a store page/section. When I select it from my menu it has a hierarchical menu at the top. When I select a sub category, it shows something like this. “Home>Apparel”, the home button takes me to the home page of my website not the home page or general store page. Is it possible to change that? Secondly, under your material style demo when you select a category from the sidebar on the left the blue dot stays blue/illuminated, whereas on my store it only illuminates/stays coloured when I hover over it. Could you help me so that it stays solid like in your demo? Thanks!
Hey halcyonrecords, I followed up to your email regarding the same questions earlier today 
Kind regards
Thank you! Much appreciated.
You’re welcome, halcyonrecords 
Hi, I have had a notification from my security software that the Salient Core plug-in has an issue (Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting). Is this something that will be fixed soon?
Hey lightwavin,
That was patched back in August: https://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html#16-0-5
You can read about updating from here: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

Does Salient have a way to add a notification bar at the very top of the website above the header for site announcements like “Free Shipping over $50” etc?
Hey ehong33234,
You can accomplish that by enabling the “Secondary Header Bar” in the Salient options > Secondary header bar tab, and then adding your text to the “Secondary Header Text” field.
Kind regards
Thank you! How can I stylize the background color of the secondary header bar and the text color? Wish there was styling options in the Salient options.
Hey ehong33234,
You can already specify the coloring for the secondary header bar in the Salient options > Header navigation > Color scheme tab.
Kind regards
hi, I have a quick question about the blog settings. We used to be using the “Material” setting for the blog landing page, but after the last Salient update this got messed up (images were not showing properly, overlapping etc.), and we decided to switch to the “Classic Enhanced” option which seems to be the one working the best.
However, in this case the images are cut off in a way that doesn’t quite work for us (it’s images of people and as a default the top of the heads are cut off). Is there a way we can control how the images are displayed, so in this example push the images to be cut off in a different way, or be resized in a different way? There’s no setting to control this within the Salient settings. Thanks! Here’s what the page looks like now: https://wealthbridge.com/our-team/
Hey pani0202, there are no known issues with the material blog style in the latest release, so I would need to see your page URL which shows the issue to assist with that.
However, you could modify the featured image size for the classic enhanced style by using a snippet such as this in your child theme functions.php: https://pastebin.com/Ahs6eU72
After doing so, you’ll need to regenerate your thumbnails
Kind regards
Thanks so much, this fix worked like a charm. Always appreciate your quick responses and fixes. Excellent customer service! Not quite sure what happened with the material blog style and got messed up, but not really important at this point.
Glad I could help, pani0202

Hey there, I am using the theme with Yoast SEO Plugin and I am just using the simple Yoast insert “Excerpt” to pick up content for the meta description.
Although in the preview I am seeing that its picking up code instead of content like this “[vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”” as the meta description.
Is this going to be like that in search results? Have you or other users encountered this? Is there a fix for this? Does your theme not work with Yoast Plugin?
Thanks in advance!
Hey msherstenka,
The “excerpt” helper variable from Yoast will default to picking up to first words found in the content, which when using WPBakery will be shortcodes, when you don’t supply an actual excerpt. Yoast doesn’t process shortcodes, so you’ll need to use a snippet in your child theme to force that if desired: https://pastebin.com/z8usis8x
See the following issue where this is discussed with Yoast https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6288
Kind regards
Sorry that confused me a bit. I don’t want it to pick up shortcodes that was the whole point of reaching out. That pastebin screenshot is to show the shortcode code in meta descriptions? Or its to stop from yoast producing the shortcode codes in the meta description?
I’ve used other themes and have never had this issue. All I want is to pick up the first paragraph of content or a snippet of the content for the excerpt, how do I set it up for this? No shortcodes as its doing.
Hey msherstenka, the snippet I provided in the pastebin is from the GitHub thread linked at the bottom of my comment which will allow the shortcodes to be parsed for the final description output. Within that GitHub issue, you’ll see that that the developers of Yoast officially stated that they don’t parse shortcodes from page builders: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6288#issuecomment-585140186
Hello! I hope you’re well. Please check out https://evergladesparadise.com/. I want to make the logo and menu invisible when the page loads and only visible when the user scrolls. My aim is for the initial image in the nectarslider to be unobstructed by the logo and menu.
FYI, I got rid of the logo by using a transparent pixel for the starting logo in the transparent header menu. But I still need to make the menu invisible on load.
Hey marcfest!
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:
#header-outer.transparent {
opacity: 0;
}
Kind regards
Works perfectly. Thank you.
You’re welcome, marcfest

Hi, I have downloaded a fresh download from here and when I try to upload the zip file to WordPress I get the message – “The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
Anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks
Hey linthorpeevolution,
That issue will occur when attempting to upload the main .zip you downloaded from ThemeForest instead of the extracted theme (salient.zip). Please check out the following article on the topic:

Hi,
Very helpful and that’s all worked for us now!
Many Thanks

Hi Phil, i have two questions: When u visit tts.studio-south.design,
1. The first element is a SPLIT LINE HEADING with the option on to fit the text to the container. But sometimes, when i load the page, its not fitted, its just the standard font size…
2. When you scroll down to the price tables, theres a red border across toggle button, even though i dont see the option to do a border. How can i get rid of that?
Best Andi
Hey Andi 
1. My guess is that the fit is occurring before your font loads. I’ve noted to investigate the potential for that further for the upcoming minor release.
2. You’ll need to switch to one of the non-gradient colors to remove that border, as it’s added by default with either gradient.
Kind regards
Hai, can you help me, i already set back to top button on https://prnt.sc/6NBnRtCzYBEJ, but still not display in front end dekstop https://prnt.sc/maD2fMpx5s0p and mobile . https://mindatrafik.com
Hey,
I’m currently able to see the back to top button render from my end on Desktop/Mobile: https://ibb.co/X3MdXKq

Hi there, I see there is a slider option for “recent posts” element, but I don’t see any option like “auto rotate” to automatically show other posts. Is this feasible?
Thank you!
Hey nikosff,
In the Recent Posts element, only the “Multiple Large Featured” offers an auto rotation option currently. However, I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist 
Kind regards
Hi, nice theme. Already purchased! Btw, do you provide a demo site like your main website? would love to learn from that.
I mean this link : https://themenectar.com/salient/
Hey alif24, I’m glad you’re enjoying Salient 
You can import most of the sections from the promo landing page from the Salient Studio Template Library. https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/
Kind regards
Got it!
Hi there guys, been using this theme since I first created my website and loving each new feature you added over time. Couple of my clients decided to go with it as well. Just recently decided to update my website and while working on it I stumbled on problem that I dont seem to be able to find answer too. So I m using global sections to create footer. Apparently when I add contact form 7 to it, simple newsletter form with email and subscribe button, styling of the form is completly off making everything except the button white. I m using minimal form styling and both text and bottom line are white instead of being red like main contact form. Any help would be highly appreciated.
https://postimg.cc/hzBnhLz4Hey shewa, kindly share the actual URL where I can take a look at the form styling to assist with that.
Thanks in advance
I just started working on it but here is the link so you could see where’s the issue: https://sevarika.com/ Thank you.
Also wondering how to position off canvas custom text aligned to the bottom rather than just being straight bellow the menu items.
Hey,
1. It looks like the parent row has its text color set to “Light” which is causing the display issue:
Try changing that to dark in your Global Section.
2. 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:
#slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right .inner-wrap {
position: static!important;
}
#slide-out-widget-area.slide-out-from-right .bottom-meta-wrap {
position: absolute;
bottom: 30px;
}
Kind regards
Thanks a ton! That worked great!
You’re welcome, shewa
