Hey Mr. Nectar.
A suggestion and a challenge, for a future version of Salient 19.
Include a store theme inspired by ZARA. (left minimal menu) ^_-‘
Hey nocomments,
Thanks for the request 
Kind regards
I need assistance with an issue on my website https://peroduazamahan.com/master , which is running Salient Theme version 18.0 in a WordPress Multisite Network. we have 29 subsite to fix
We are using relative links such as:
<a href="perodua-ativa/">
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10322" src="https://peroduazamahan.com/master/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/Promo-Ativa-Perodua-Rebate-1-30-Sep-2025-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" width="1080" height="1080" />
</a><a href="perodua-ativa/"></a> will automatically become:
https://peroduazamahan.com/eliz/perodua-ativa/
This already works correctly for text boxes and buttons.
However, inside the Salient Fancy Box element, the relative link does not convert to the subsite URL. For example, setting the link toperodua-axia/ inside the Fancy Box results in the browser going to:
http://perodua-axia/(which obviously cannot be reached).
Screenshot:

https://ibb.co.com/kgP10P6p
❗ Question: Is there a way to ensure that the Fancy Box Link URL automatically detects the current subsite path, so that:
perodua-axia/
automatically becomes:
https://peroduazamahan.com/eliz/perodua-axia/after cloning the site?
Or at least, is there a method (filter, hook, snippet, or JS fix) that can force the Fancy Box element to treat relative URLs the same way as normal links?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
“There were no issues before. We are currently using Salient Version 18.0.1 and WordPress 6.9.”
Hey shaky512,
You’ll need to copy the fancy-box.php file to your child theme using this method, then do a find-and-replace to change esc_url() to esc_attr(). This stops WordPress from sanitizing the value as a URL and enforcing its allowed protocols list.
Kind regards
Hi TN team!
Just wondering if there is a way to adjust the ‘Mobile Header Breakpoint’ further below 1000? Just a bit too low for where I need it to trigger.
Thanks!
Hey ND81!
There’s currently no way to make the breakpoint lower than 1000px, but you can make it higher through the Salient options > Header Navigation > Mobile Header tab via the “Header Mobile Breakpoint” field.
Kind regards
Hi! I´m building a page with full height rows. Is it possible to use anchors on it? It seems it´s not working for me in the same with the Row id. Example: domain.com/services/#service-4 being service-4 the row id of the fourth full height row.
Thanks in advance.
Hey vivraestudio! If you’re referring to the “Page Full Screen Rows” option, you can link to each section via anchors. You just need to ensure that you have the option “Add Row Anchors to URL” enabled. https://ibb.co/JLyB5sF

I’ve been trying to Upload the latest Update, but I keep getting this message: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme installation failed.
Never had this issue before?
Hey superhealth,
That sounds like you’re installing the downloaded bundle .zip instead of the extracted theme file. You can read more about that here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Theme-is-missing-the-style-css-stylesheet-error
Kind regards
Hi!
I just want to make myself the same progressive blur that is used in the header area (when enabled) but I can’t find it in inspect or files of theme using macos search. Please help me find the code of this progressive header blur so I can rotate it 180 and also add the same to the bottom.
Thank you!
Nevermind, AI helped me do it.
Hey po1nt, I’m glad that you were able to get it working
Kind regards
Hello! Amazing last update, thanks!
Not so sure it is related to it, but I added a YouTube video background on a module and on mobile it is not being visualized, while in desktop yes it is. The option for disabling video background in general setting is deactivated. Is there anything else I can do regarding this?
Thanks!
Hey Fabilous, I’m glad that you’re enjoying it!
YouTube backgrounds are not supported on mobile devices, as mobile browsers block that functionality. We recommend using a self-hosted MP4 background for any videos you want to autoplay on mobile devices. Here is the documentation which covers this: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-row/#video-background
Kind regards
Hello,
I am not sure if it is an error related to the recent update or a mishandling, but on our site, we have links to tabs + anchors in the menu.
This works everywhere except on a specific page.
The links in question:
https://3x.maj.mc/reinforcekit-structure/?tab=Complementary-products/#reinforcekit-beam https://3x.maj.mc/reinforcekit-structure/?tab=Complementary-products/#dkitThey work normally, EXCEPT when you are precisely on the page that contains the tabs: https://3x.maj.mc/reinforcekit-structure/
On this page, they become> https://3x.maj.mc/reinforcekit-structure/#reinforcekit-beam https://3x.maj.mc/reinforcekit-structure/#dkit
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hey MAJMonaco,
V18 should not have altered that behavior, so it may be a long-standing issue with tab deep linking and the anchors used in the top navigation. I’ve noted it for closer investigation in the next release.
Kind regards
Thanks
Hello Nectar, I noticed an issue with the Post Loop Builder template after the last update. When set in a Masonry layout as Big and Small, the large image gets cutoff. I haven’t been able to resolve the issue.
https://ibb.co/pvJ2r6VvHey RollingSpoke,
If you’ve already disabled any performance optimization/caching plugins you have active to rule out a caching issue, please share the actual website URL so that I can take a look.
Kind regards
Thanks ThemeNectar, as per your suggestion, I discovered it was Speed Optimzer (Siteground.) Toggling off “Minify CSS Files” solved it.
I’m glad to hear, RollingSpoke
Hey Team Nectar,
thank you for adding my suggestion for vertical scrolling in the latest update – I really like it! It would be great if you could also enable vertical scrolling on mobile devices.
Thank you very much for your great work!
Hey Layoutmachen!
We intentionally disabled the horizontal scrolling effect on mobile for UX reasons, but I’ve noted to explore adding an option to toggle a standard horizontal scrollbar on mobile instead of the animated desktop-style effect.
Kind regards
Hey, that would be really great. Thanks
Hi team salient.
I’m knocked out by the latest update! The only issue I’m having is I can’t add any of the templates to any pages. I click on the thumbnail to add it via WPBakery builder and nothing happens. I thought it could be due to conflict with current plugins, so I set up a fresh install via MAMP and added a demo site. That worked fine, but even on that site, with absolutely nothing but the Salient install can’t add the individual template DIVs. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks, Alex.
Ignore me. I’m an idiot. You have to click on the bold title and not the image. Working perfectly.
Hey Alex, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying v18!
Yes, the title for each template is the only link to insert – not the images.
Cheers
Just a question about the awesome color change feature in Salient (via the Signal Demo): I read the documentation. It seems that if you set the color change and “Fade” in one row, it only works in the FOLLOWING row. Is this how it’s supposed to work? So if I want rows five and six to change color, would I have to set it in row four?
Hey portpass1974,
The background color should change when the row with the “Color Change Section” option enabled reaches the middle of the viewport – i.e., when it comes into the dominant view. If you’re not seeing this happen, please share your URL so I can take a look.
Kind regards
Okay, sure thing. It’s at https://seanc452.sg-host.com/. But wait… I just realized something: the bottom row now works (and properly changes into orange). I had to set the backround of the row above it to white (instead of clear). If not, the orange colour “bleeds” into that section as well.
But not it works. Thanks so much. Love Version 18.
That’s correct, portpass1974. I’m glad you got it working!
I have having the same issue as BulmaStudio.
Hey yogasanjay,
Have you disabled any performance plugins that might be caching your theme assets, just to rule that out? If so, I’d be happy to take a look if you’d like to share your URL.
Kind regards
hello, for some reason sailent studio elements are not shiowing anymore while editting the page, how can i fix this?
Hey resshaheen,
Make sure that you have not disabled the Salient Studio Template Library in the Custom Branding plugin settings. Here is the documentation for that plugin: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/custom-branding/
Kind regards
Since the last update, full screen background images are displaying full image size and not full screen size. As you can see here: mauropesce.com
Could you please fix this?
By the way, I am madly in love with Salient.
Thanks, Mauro.
Hey Mauroz1
I’m currently able to see both of your sections on that page rendering the background image in fullscreen to match the section’s viewport size. Have you tried temporarily disabling your performance-optimization plugin to check whether it’s a caching issue? Here’s a screen recording from my end.
Kind regards
That was it. Thanks for your time.
You’re welcome, BulmaStudio
Cheers
On my website https://www.rolfingpraxis-darmstadt.de I want to make the mobile navigation (burger menu) appear earlier – because I have many desktop navigation elements. How can I accomplish that? Thanks in advance.
Hey chives,
In the Salient options panel > Header Navigation > Mobile Header tab, you can adjust that with the option labeled “Header Mobile Breakpoint”.
Kind regards
Hi. Is there a way to remove the featured photo on posts from particular categories. I’d like to remove the featured photo for my newsletters category posts (see at https://cusw-bc.ca/fall-2025-cusw-newsletter/). That’s because I already include the photo as a link visitors can click on to open the PDF (underneath the featured photo). Thanks so much. I love version 18!
Hey portpass1974!
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: https://pastebin.com/NAFCpkPG
Kind regards
That worked great. Thanks so much. Love version 18. It’s amazing!
I’m glad I could help, portpass1974
I would like to be able to create custom shape dividers, much like how we can already upload custom masks. Can you point me to the file location where the shape dividers are located in the WP Installation? And where I might find the JS/PHP code for it? Thank you!
Hey magestik12!
You can copy the nectar_svg_shape_divider function from wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/helpers.php into your child theme for modifications.
Kind regards
Bug? Create a Global section for the Footer. Use a template for the footer in WP Bakery that includes a copyright row. Enable the Footer global section on all the footer locations. Works, but displays 2 copyright rows.
In Salient -> Footer configuration
Main Footer Area [ off ] Disable Footer Copyright Area [ on ]
The copyright rows from BOTH salient and the global section are now turned off. It should leave the Global Section’s copyright row intact.
Hey Jrauch10,
I would need to take a closer look at your setup to better understand the locations you’ve assigned the Global Section to as well as the contents of your Global Section. Feel free to share it here, or via email through the contact form on my author page.
Kind regards
Sure thing! Site is bohohavn.com. It’s a brand new site, latest Salient version. I went to Global Templates -> Add New Global Section. WPBakery Page Builder -> Add Template. I selected a template called “General: Light Footer”. Then I set the display location and conditions to: Display 10: Footer, Conditions: True, Everywhere. Then publish.
This creates a footer that will display on all the pages. Now the copyright area (usually looks like “© 2025 Bohohavn.”) is shown via both Salient’s built-in footer config and that “Light Footer” template. So now I want to get rid of “© 2025 Bohohavn.” being generated by Salient. Go to Salient -> Footer. Turn ON “Disable Footer Copyright Area.” – now both the Salient copyright area and the Footer template’s copyright area are being hidden.
It’s unclear how the Salient->Footer setting suppresses the copyright row, because that Global Template for the footer doesn’t name the copyright row. Using the clone feature, so there are two copyright rows in the footer template causes 1 to show. Strange!
Thanks Jrauch10, the issue is much more clear now!
The issue is that the bottom two columns in that template are set to animate in using a column animation. When they’re placed directly at the bottom of the page, the animation trigger point isn’t being activated. If you edit both of those columns and remove the column animation – or edit the parent row and increase the padding (for example, from 28px to 40px) – the trigger point should be reached when scrolling down.
Kind regards
Hello, I found one problem. When I turn on Smooth Scrolling, linea icon with enabled animation not showing on mobile phone only. How can I fix them? The problem occurs on V17 and V18.1 versions too.
Hey CreativePlace,
I’ve noted to look into that more closely. Could you please confirm whether you’ve also tested it with the performance option Delay JavaScript Execution turned off?
Kind regards
