hi, after last update the “close” and “save changes” buttons in wpbakery modal are missing, i can’t save the changes in the elements. can it be a bug?
Hey roccokobe,
Have you verified the “Auto save” feature is not active in your WPBakery > General Settings?
Kind regards
the “auto-save” option is not present in the setting of wpbakery. after the “Disable Gutenberg Editor” option, there is only the “Default template for post types” list. i try also to edit pages in the front end editor, but in the objects modal the buttons to close or save are missing.
Hey roccokobe,
If you’ve also verified that you’re using the latest Salient WPBakery plugin (7.8.1), please please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Kind regards
Dear Salient team,
I would just like to inform you about some config missing from your WPML xml. It would be really helpful to add it because right now we have to add it by ourselves in the WPML settings.
In the split_line_heading tag, you are missing the link_href attribute. It should be like so:
<shortcode>
<tag>split_line_heading</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute>text_content</attribute>
<attribute type="link">link_href</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>And in the image_with_animation tag, you are also missing the img_link attribute. It should be like so
<shortcode>
<tag>image_with_animation</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute type="link">img_link</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>Thank you!
Hey VisualRow,
Thanks for reporting that. I’ve noted to include it in the next release 
Cheers
Hi Nectar Team,
Images are blurry (pixelated) when uploading into the Gallery (Post Loop Builder) section of the webpage. The images show up high-quality in Photoshop but once uploaded onto WP it compresses the image. I’m aware there is some natural compression but compared to the default theme (stock) images is significant. I’m aware this is the theme and not WP as I have a live site that has the same images/assets as these are high-quality. I’ve researched troubleshooting as I added the plugin WPCode and added the snippet and it still doesn’t work. I’ve tried multiple resolutions (upload larger size image, upped the resolution in Photoshop, etc.). Below is my staging site vs my live site for reference. Please advise.
Staging site https://test2.marcodardignac.com/ Live site https://marcodardignac.comHey marcod845,
Have you verified that your “Image Size” is set to “Full” within the Post Loop element settings? https://ibb.co/B2bGB5Yh
Kind regards
Hey ThemeNectar,
It wasn’t set to “Full” Thank you for that but as I’ve made the change it improved the image quality only slightly. I’ve noticed the theme reduces the quality a lot as the size uploaded 262KB goes to only 140KB. This is too low compared vs my live site images at 246KB. If I could somehow get this theme to at least 200KB would make a drastic improvement. Please advise.
Hey marcod845,
Salient does not apply any quality restraints on uploaded images. You can disable the automatic compression and sizing constraints that WordPress enforces by adding a snippet to your child theme. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-stop-wordpress-from-compressing-images-automatically/
Note that after adding that, you’ll need to regenerate your thumbnails or reupload your images.
Kind regards
Hey ThemeNectar,
I’ve implemented the code snippets and have seen an increase in KB size with no longer a limitation, but I have not seen much improvement in image quality in the front end (live area). There’s a clear significant difference between my images vs. the stock theme images. While I’m feeling (liking) this theme and would love to use it, I’m a graphic designer and I can not go into job interviews with blurry (pixaleted) images. The images also look extremely blurry on mobile devices. Please, would you be able to trouble shoot this more on the back end, I can provide my credentials for my account.
Hey ThemeNectar,
I’ve gave it another try and have replaced the gallery loop image to match my header image and I’m satisfied with the quality/resolution. The code snippets provided helped, thank you.
Hey marcod845,
I’m glad that you were able to get it resolved
Cheers
I have a custom post type that is loading using salients blog options as expected, but the in salients settings for Pagination Type I have selected Infinite scroll and it doesnt load any more posts. Is this possible with salient to have infinite scroll on a custom post type archive? Note: I am not using a custom archive-posttype.php template, just relying on index.php
Hey FightTheNewDrug,
I’ve noted to include the needed change to allow that to function correctly in the next release. If you would like immediate access to the change, feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.

Hi Salient Team, How are you today.
I meet some trouble to update the Salient Version of this website : https://www.ltsm.fr
The problem si my version is today 17.0.7. The 17.1.0 is available on Envato Market (2.0.12) installed on the wordpress website, and when I launch the update, an error message appears : Updating failed : you already have the last version.
So I don’t understand where is the issue. If you have any idea or suggestion, please let me now.
Thanks a lot. Have a good day. Best regards. Alex
Hey Alex,
It sounds like there’s an error reading the versions in your setup. Have you tried to manually upload the latest version to bypass it?
Kind regards
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Are you talking about Envato Market plugin? What is the latest version ?
For information, I deleted the plugin an reinstalled it manually to the website. It’s always the same version 2.0.12.
Best regards.
Hey alexis182,
I was referring to manually updating the theme by uploading a fresh copy to Appearance > Themes.
Kind regards
Of course. Thanks a lot for this. It worked. Thanks for your help and have a great day.
Best regards.
You’re welcome, alexis182
how can we update WP Bakery to the latest version? It’s not included in your latest theme release.
Hey lightwavin,
We’ll be including it in the next release of Salient. If you would like immediate access to it, feel free to please reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards.
Thanks in advance
Hi.
Could you please tell me which file and what line I need to edit in order to add a custom option to order a Post Loop Builder’s contents by? I have the post meta tag ‘the _event_start’ and I would like to order what’s displayed in the Post Loop Builder by that if possible.
Thank you.
Hey speedofsound,
You would need to copy the “nectar_post_grid_item_markup” function into your child theme from the file salient-core/includes/post-grid/loop-markup.php
Kind regards
How can I get my image to display width:100% when using the layered hero section? I have a 4000×3000 image and it still scales and blurs it a bit. Any way to have it just set at 100% width vs scaling?
Hey mbianchi27,
You can select the image size used for rendering in the Post Loop Builder settings. Using the ‘Full’ size will ensure a non-cropped version is loaded. However, by default, WordPress automatically applies a maximum image width of 2560px. If you want to load an image larger than that, you will need to use a filter or a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-image-sizes/
Kind regards
The layered hero section is not a post loop component? Its just a background image
My apologies, mbianchi27. I thought you were referring to the main loop in the “Layered” demo. The row BG automatically uses the “Full” size of a selected image, so the same information applies relating to my previous comment. Can you please share your URL so that I can take a look?
Is there a way to completely get rid of the search bar? I have it deactivated in the menu, but ADA compliance checker still sees it and is flagging it. Thanks.
Hey rswayenvato,
If you’ve verified that you’re on a recent release of Salient (17.1.0), can you please share your URL and specify what accessibility issue you’ve seeing related to the search?
Kind regards
hey! I need to update my site from 8.5.5 to latest. I’m reading the changelog to get an idea of the awareness level but I’d like to ask if it’s doable and where should I focus or expect the main pain points. Thanks!!
Hey merloc!
Yes, updating between those versions would be possible. However, you should read through this article before an upgrade involving such a large jump. https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/
Kind regards
Hi everyone! I purchased the theme some time ago. Do I need to renew support to see the latest updates? I downloaded the latest version of the theme, but I don’t see any updates.
Thanks for you help
Hey LaKugi!
No, with a single license you’ll have access to the latest release for life. The current version is v17.1.0 – here is the documentation on updating: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
Kind regards
Hi, thanks for the very quick reply
I figured out why, despite the latest updated version being uploaded, the theme didn’t show the updates: Salient WPBakery Page Builder had some sort of overwriting problems.
In practice, you need to force the bakery builder to update. To solve it, I deactivated Salient v17.1.0, activated another temporary theme, deleted the Salient WPBakery Page Builder plugin, manually reloaded it from the latest theme folder and then, lastly, reactivated Salient v17.1.0.
I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, if so, I’ll report it. Maybe this could help.
Kind regards
Hey LaKugi,
I’m glad to hear that you’ve sorted it. If you run into a similar issue again in the future, kindly reach out via the contact form on my author page in regards so we can follow up.

Hi. There’s something wrong with the Bluesky logo in the top right corner and footer of the website (https://ccu-csc.ca). It doesn’t seem to animate, and it seems slightly higher on the page compared to the others. Is there a fix for this?
Hey portpass1974,
Since there is no known issue like that, have you disabled your SiteGround optimization plugin to verify that you are not loading old cached styles?
Kind regards
Hi. Thanks for that. Yes, the SiteGround Optimizer was the issue. Although I want to keep on using the plugin. Would you know what the particular issue is with the plugin? I tried refreshing the cache, but that didn’t fix the issue. I also looked through the plugin and tried different things, but it didn’t work. Thanks so much.
Hey portpass1974,
There’s no known issue with siteground which would cause that issue. It looked like the newer CSS was missing from the cached files served from the optimized SiteGround CSS. I would recommend contacting SiteGround to see if there’s another layer of caching would could be causing outdated CSS to linger.
Kind regards
Hi,
I’d like to add a unique (custom) ID to buttons or text links in the top menu of my WordPress site. Currently, WordPress automatically generates IDs based on the menu structure, but for Google Analytics tracking purposes, I’d prefer to use my own custom ID names.
Is there a way to manually set custom IDs for menu items in WordPress? If so, what’s the best approach to implement this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey romankac!
WP does not offer a built-in method from the user interface to add custom IDs to menu items. However, you can enable “CSS Classes” in the “Screen Options” toggle in order to set custom class names on each to use for GA.
Kind regards
Hi, I have a 1400×1400 image I’m using for particle effect on home page. It looks fine on desktop, but mobile scales it down so tiny it’s unrecognizable. It’s almost as if the canvas has 40% padding on left and right, but I can’t seem to find any CSS for the canvas background.
Is there a way to get the particle image to fill the screen more?

Hey porpie,
You can increase the rendering resolution by enabling the “Fullscreen Height” option instead of specifying a px value, such as “1000”.
Kind regards
Hi,
I purchased your Salient theme in December 2024. The support website always shows me a notification “Whoop, something went wrong” when I submit a new ticket.
Could you please assist me with this issue?
Regards, Mark
Hey Mark,
Can you confirm that you’re still unable to open a ticket now? I checked on your account on the support forum to verify that it has an active support license.
Kind regards
My ticket can be submitted again on the support page. Thanks!
Hi ThemeNectar! Am having an issue where the titles of the Portfolio pages flash at the top, then repaint in place at the bottom where they should be. Happens on initial loading and refresh. Any ideas?
Hey asbundschuh!
You could set a default min height on that section before JS loads by adding the following snippet into the custom CSS box located in the Salient options panel > General Settings > CSS/Script related tab:
.wpb_row.vc_row-o-full-height .span_12 {
min-height: 99vh;
}
Cheers
Hey, do you sell the theme the demo page ? https://themenectar.com/salient/
Hey aureops92,
The main promotional page for Salient is not an importable demo included with the theme. However, the page is built with Salient and you can replicate a similar design using the builder.
Kind regards
Hello,
My support code no longer seems to work
I can’t see the Salient Template bar in Editor However, everything is installed and activated in the extensions.
Thanks
Hey arnolyon,
Are you using a recent release of Salient (v17+), and have you verified that no third party plugins are causing a conflict by temporarily deactivating them?
Kind regards
Hey ThemeNectar – pretty sure these are both bugs this time.
Add the ‘Tabs’ element to a row and set it to the ‘Vertical Material’ style. This style adds an 80px padding to the left side of the tab content to space it away from the tabs themselves. However, when you shrink the width of your browser and those tabs responsively move to the top of the row, that padding remains on the left side. The result is that none of the tab content is aligned correctly – it is all 80px too far to the right.
The Page Submenu element ignores the row settings in relation to it being set to ‘In Container’. As you shrink the width of your browser window the menu slides all the way to the absolute left edge and only moves that menu tab when it touches the side. Setting margins does nothing.
Hey Tbone17,
1. Thanks for reporting this. I’ve noted it down to include the necessary fix in the next minor release.
2. The Page Submenu element should always display the contained links and have a full-width background. If you’re seeing the menu items also displaying at full width without any spacing on the sides, please share an example URL where I can review the display issue.
Kind regards
Hi ThemeNectar,
Re: bug number 2, I made you an example to take a look at here: https://poseidondesign.co.uk/test-page/Thanks Tbone17,
It is related specifically to using the “center” alignment. I’ll also be including the fix for that in the next release
You can remedy it yourself for now if needed by 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:

Hey Mikel2020, I’m glad that you were able to solve it
