Hi, I’m using the Woocommerce Checkout field editor plugin to disable postcode field and also customizing the checkout form but it’s not showing the changes that I’m making. Also tried with another plugin having the same problem. You guys know what might be happening and how can I fix it?. Best Regards
Hey murguiareynaldo,
Can you confirm that you’re using the newer block-based checkout offered by WooCommerce? https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/using-legacy-woocommerce-cart-checkout/
The legacy shortcode based checkout might not be supported by the plugins you’re using.
Kind regards
Hello, I’m an experienced developer, and there’s no option (theme/WpBakery or CSS) to force the height of an image in a column (excluding the background), which would, for example, allow two aligned images (2/3 and 1/3) to have the same height. I spent a day testing this. Is this a bug that needs to be fixed, or is there a hidden option? I can’t pay for support for this extremely basic question, which concerns 100% of developers.
Hey gemmenco,
Currently, there’s a built-in option to select a WordPress image size to enforce a similar aspect ratio or to specify a custom width, with the height remaining set to auto. Alternatively, you can use a simple CSS rule to enforce a fixed height with auto width. If you’d like help creating a rule like that, feel free to share the URL where the images are added in the format you’re trying to constrain.
Kind regards
Thanks for your feedback, but: - In image, the “custom” size doesn’t work with or without “px”) - I’ve tested all the CSS (even pro help, chatGpt…), yet a simple “min-height: 100vh;” (or “min-height: 100%;”) should work. A simple “height 100%” option on the image (or column) would simply solve the problem. This feature is essential, why are there no tutorials, no videos, no comments on this option? Can you just give me a single link? The theme is pretty good, but this feature is a no-go if it doesn’t work.
The “Custom” image size only accepts a registered WordPress image size name such as “medium”, “large”, etc. It will not accept CSS values or apply them to the img tag. If you want to style your image using CSS, you can do so by adding a class name via the “CSS class name” field and then adding your rules into the CSS box either in the page builder or in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab.
However, I’m not entirely sure I understand your goal. Are you trying to set a fixed height for your images so they align, while allowing the widths to vary? Or are you aiming to mimic a background-size: cover effect, where the image is cropped at the sides—essentially behaving like a background image and expanding to fill the columns fully on all sides? Could you please share a URL or a mockup showing what you’d like the two images to look like?
My requirement is very simple and basic; it’s a feature present in 100% of themes: In a row, all the photos must have the same height even if the column widths are different.
To put it simply, see the photo on the left and its alignment at the bottom: - The good result: https://snipboard.io/gl67XS.jpg - The bad result: https://snipboard.io/vdmNCS.jpg
That’s a “cover” style expansion, where the left image clips the sides to fill the available space. It’s a bit more complex than simply setting the height to 100%, which would stretch the aspect ratio instead of preserving it while cropping the edges—like in your “good result” screenshot.
While that effect can be achieved with CSS, there’s currently no built-in way to do it using a standard image element in WPBakery or Salient.
That said, you can still achieve the same result without custom CSS by setting the image as a background for the left column. Is there a reason you’re avoiding that approach? It’s the easiest way to make the secondary image scale automatically with the neighboring image. Here’s an example using a background image for the element that needs to match its sibling’s height: https://themenectar.com/salient/elements/columns/#equal-height
Thank you again for your feedback and your time.
Salient allows for very professional layouts, but this essential setting is really a major bottleneck, and I don’t understand why your developer didn’t integrate it.
Background image > is not referenced > if there is no content, the image can disappear on a smartphone screen (I don’t know how your example avoids this problem).
Single image module: > The CSS “img{object-fit: cover;}” should work without a problem, but while the CSS works with rows and columns, it doesn’t work at all with the single image module (as if the CSS were blocked). > It doesn’t allow you to define a custom size; whether you define it with or without “px,” it doesn’t work. This essential module really needs to be reviewed.
You can place a “Divider” element into the empty column that contains the background image to set your desired height for each viewport. The Divider allows you to specify the height independently for each viewport, which is how the example page I shared achieves the desired column size on mobile. I’ve also noted the idea to include a “Fit to Container” toggle directly on the Image element for the next minor release.
Kind regards
Thank you, your tip works, even if it’s less effective for SEO. Yes, “Fit to Container” would be great! Bravo! And I hope the “Custom size” bug and the CSS blocking on the image module will also be fixed. Thank you for agreeing to provide a solution without paying for support, which is very reassuring for those who choose the Salient theme.
You’re very welcome, gemmenco 
I have filled the refund form. Please check it once.
Not having elementor is also a main concern for me
Hey arkhmnights,
We already approved it earlier today.
Kind regards
Hi.
I am considering buying your theme.
Please tell me if it is possible to add a product filter (by attribute) to the sticky menu.
Thanks.
Hey arthurix,
You could insert links to the attribute archive URLs in your main navigation. For example, a link like: https://themenectar.com/salient/ecommerce-robust/product-category/accessories/?filter_size=2-5oz-74mlHowever, we don’t provide any AJAX-style filtering for attributes that would be added to the navigation.
Kind regards
I am in search of a demo for pc repair niche, I like the dark menu of this theme and some elements but I wonder what will come in its major release of new features and if it is a long way off ? I am currently looking between salient or thegem.
Hey chevyweb,
We don’t currently have any demos planned for the PC repair niche. The next major version will include new design elements and a demo, but we don’t have release date set in stone at this time.
Kind regards
Hey Salient Team, Any way to get the pulsating circle icon option available in a CTA button? I’m trying to achieve a button that says ‘button an intro’ with a minimal rounded border and has the green pulsating circle icon to the left of the button. Tried the following but it was clunky and didn’t work like your native pulsating icon.
.link_wrap > i { position: relative; display: inline-block; animation: smooth-pulse 1.4s ease-in-out infinite; color: #81d742; /* Green like the original / font-size: 8px; line-height: 8px; width: 8px; height: 8px; }
/ Subtle scale pulse */ @keyframes smooth-pulse { 0% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 1; } 50% { transform: scale(1.4); opacity: 0.5; } 100% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 1; } }
Hey AkeatsKes,
It would indeed require custom CSS. Could you kindly share your URL with that implemented so that I can assist in making it smoother?
Kind regards
I found something I like better but if you could consider including that as an option in the future I would appreciate it!
Also, would you consider adding some customization for the Post Loop Builder? I’ve got Grid Item Height set to 60% on desktop and it looks great there, but it’s really big on mobile so ideally I would have a separate setting for mobile — ideally 40 or 50%.
Thanks!
Hey AkeatsKes,
I’ve noted that idea on the wishlist as well
For now, you could modify the height in mobile viewports by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:

I recently updated Salient theme and it broke my website. Please help
Hey ashlingmoss1,
Version 17 has been available for several months and is currently being used by thousands of users. I don’t see an active Salient license associated with this account username, but to assist you further, we’ll need more details about the specific errors you’re encountering. Kindly open a ticket on our support forum with more information so we can help
Thanks in advance
Hi, I’ve a question not about the theme but about your presentation website : https://themenectar.com/salient/ , under the hero section you used videos to illustrate theme functionnalities, the video looks so crisp and the weight is very low, how did you make these videos, what tool did you use ? Thank you.
Hey jvanhove,
Those were created in After Effects and exported to use a balance of quality with the size. The file size is smaller since the video lengths are also very short.
Kind regards
Are there any plans, or ways to implement fetchpriority to the image element?
It’d be a good way to prioritise the loading to help with the LCP
Just to add to this. For background images too?
Hey jbennett360!
WordPress should already add a high fetchpriority attribute to top-level images added through the Single Image page builder element. Can you share a URL where that’s not occurring for you?
A preload option for background images isn’t something we had considered building in directly, but I’ve noted the idea.
Kind regards
Hey there.
Will check the single image element and get back to you if that’s not working as it should.
The main issue is background images in the first row (or anything above the fold).
It doesn’t add anything for these and it does flag constantly about LCP and fetchpriority is one of the recommendations to improve it
Single Image Element works fine. It’s just the background image on columns/rows above the fold that could do with an option adding to them
Hey jbennett360,
Thanks for following up and confirming.
Kind regards
no probs
Longtime Salient user love this theme.
Is there a way to reverse the WooCommerce Sticky Product info Behavior?
I’d like to use the Bottom Thumbnail Slider (Sticky) + Scrollable Product Info. vs the Default (Scrolling Thumbnails+Sticky Product info)
Hey whysebastian,
That would require a modification via your child theme at this time, however, I’ve noted the idea on the wishlist.
Kind regards
Could you provide info on how to do so? Willing to purchase a license again if possible.
Hey whysebastian,
We would assist in guiding you towards what would need to be changed, however, for custom development we would recommend checking out our partners here.
Kind regards
Ive added entrance animations on my text and images, but nothing seems to be working? Is there any reason why?

Hey richardwells,
I’m currently able to see the animations on the shared URL triggering normally: <a href=”https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5indlfeez7q64bk1m5q5k/animations.mp4?rlkey=rhem5ew1ae764a7jleogik3by&st=zt7rhd9q&dl=0 ”>Video Recording. What browser are you seeing the issue occur on?
Kind regards
strange. They dont work on my side. Im using google chrome, tried on explorer also doesnt work
Hey richardwells,
Have you tried on more than one machine?
I just checked again on a second device without observing any issues.
Kind regards
Hi If I install a blog on abc.com and WooCommerce on shop.abc.com, do I need to purchase one license or two licenses?
Hey fastblog,
If the shop subdomain is considered part of the same end product and you’re only using the subdomain for structural purposes, then a single license should be sufficient. If you’d like further clarification, you can always run your scenario by Envato directly: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Kind regards
Hi there,
I am having some issues where the shortcodes are showing instead of buttons, the header images aren’t showing etc. It seems this has happened from an update.
https://www.bedsdownssyndrome.co.uk/I am happy to renew support, but we are a charity so I want to make sure that you are able to help with this before I do?
Hey john6891,
Can you verify that you have the Salient Core plugin activated in your setup?
Kind regards
Help. How to hide the display of categories (title post) in a single post?
Hey Nicko_217,
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:
.single .meta-category,
#page-header-bg[data-post-hs] .inner-wrap > a {
display: none!important;
}
Kind regards
thank you! it works!
I’m glad that I could help, Nicko_217
Salient is an amazing theme, I purchased once some time ago to play around but still haven´t used it in a factual project. So, in my tryouts i found that when I want to display a newsletter section, for capturing subscribers, the chosen template did not correct the styling of a simple form, i have tried with wp-forms without any success. It keeps displaying an awful design, a simple form with the standard submit blue button. Is there anyway to make that such section inherit the theme styling? Sorry to ask but I couldn´t find any help in internet or in the salient documentation. (Also, my support is super over due, but since it is still not a live project, I am not planning to buy extra support until I decide to go on air) Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me to find a solution for this. Love.
Hey Yellowmla,
WPForms includes CSS which intentionally overrides the active theme in order to control their own styling. If you would like to alter that to use Salient coloring, feel free to share your website URL so we can provide a snippet.
Kind regards
Do you know when the next update compatible with WooCommerce 9.7 will be released?
Hey ScreenUp,
Salient is already compatible with version 9.7. The templates showing outdated notices in the WooCommerce → Status page only relate to minor accessibility improvements and won’t cause any breaking changes. We’ll be releasing a minor update to address this over the weekend.
Kind regards
Hello! Is there any way to insert nofollow links in the button of Horizontal list item? It would be very useful.
Thank You!
Hey MurZielaGa!
That would require a modification via your child theme in the current release. However, I’ve noted to include an option for that in the next minor version
Kind regards
Hello, is there a way to add a social icon in the secondary header or copyright area if it isn’t among the available ones (ivoox)?
Hey stefanoroma,
That would require custom CSS to either add it via a background image or to enqueue a new icon font family which incudes your desired network.
Kind regards
Hi there,
Is there a way to move the search icon and search bar to secondary menu.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hey simonpeyto,
Unfortunately, there’s no built-in option to move the search into the secondary header bar. In order to achieve that, you would need to make a modification via your child theme.
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar,
I switched to Salient a short while ago to test with a project of mine. I really like it, and I’m currently in the process of learning the finer points of the theme .
I just tried to implement the leaflet maps ínteractive map, but for some reason I’m unable to see any marker. I used the Nectar Marker, but I don’t see anything. Is there also a possibility to further style the Leaflet map?
Could you please take a look: https://casacasandra.com/
Thank you very much.
Hey fratsloos,
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Salient so far
The interactive map allows you to set the focal point separately. It looks like the focal point in your map is set to the location you’re trying to target, but the marker is placed somewhere in the United States: https://ibb.co/yBf3Nwrc
Kind regards
Ahh, I understand. My fault for not reading correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I was under the impression this was purely for the marker description. This is even better and I’ve just fixed it. Thank you very much for your quick reply and have a wonderful day!
You’re welcome, fratsloos!
Cheers
