When using the Particle Effect images and Box Roll Header, it looks like the Title H1 has a fixed text size of 44px regardless of what the Salient H1 is set in typography. But when I turn off Box Roll Header, the H1 Title goes to the size I set in Salient Typography Settings. Is there a way to override this and let me choose what font size is in this area? Same with the subheading “Caption” font. Can you please give me CSS to be able to change those fonts and font sizes? Thank you!
Great theme, had it for years, thanks much!
I think I may have discovered a small bug in salient-core plugin. Not a big deal as I filter non critical errors but since you guys appear to really care about quality code I thought I would mention it. I am running the latest salient version (17_2_0) but have seen the issue in previous releases as well. PHP version 8.2.28.
issue description: In the post grid, when clicking the ‘load more’ button the payload to admin-ajax.php does not contain a value for “setting[text_content_layout] which as a result throws a PHP Warning: Undefined array key “text_content_layout”wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/post-grid/post-grid.php on line 100 as you are expecting and try to sanitize that setting.
I checked it on your demo site and the setting is missing from the payload there as well. Keep up the good work !
Hey mwbadmin, thanks for reporting that 
I’ve noted to correct it in the next minor release.
Cheers!
Was the option to sort portfolio items at random added? I’d like to display random posts/portfolio items on pages whenever the user refreshes the page – this was the main reason I stopped using the theme.
Hey bbboysdontcry,
Yes, the newer Post Loop builder supports the option to display your queried items by random ordering.
Kind regards
Hello Team,
Our client is using the Salient theme, which features a portfolio section with filterable categories, including Accessible Housing, Aged Care, Commercial, Houses, and more.
They want to enable dynamic URL-based filtering so that we can hyperlink the section, allowing the Houses filter to be automatically selected when a user visits /portfolio/?filter=houses, thereby displaying only relevant items.
Additionally, when users manually switch filters, the URL should update to reflect the new selection and show the relevant items. Could you provide guidance on implementing this functionality within Salient’s filtering system?
We’ve tried this method https://pastebin.com/vYjtUjTE, which allows us to select the filter name, but it doesn’t sort anything based on the selected value.
Hey princebhalani143,
If you’re using the Post Loop Builder, the built-in query parameter you can use to trigger a filter is “grid-filter” — for example, ”?grid-filter=branding”. However, there is no built-in functionality to append that to the URL once clicked; it would require custom JavaScript from your child theme. If you would like further help troubleshooting your custom code, feel free to open a ticket on the support forum.
Kind regards
Thanks for the response. It will work with a single word, but how can I make it work with special characters in the text? For example, this is rendering in the HTML.

Hey princebhalani143,
You would use hyphens for spaces. ampersands are currently not supported, but I’ve noted to add compatibility for those in the next release. You’ll need to remove that symbol if you want to use the included deep linking for that filter.
Awesome, thanks.
Hi ThemeNectar team,
I noticed a possible issue when working with WPBakery. Here’s the situation:
When inserting a row, then adding a Tabs element, and inside one of the tabs inserting a Toggle Panel (commonly used for FAQs), everything works fine when adding simple text, images, etc., inside the toggle. However, if I try to insert an inner row inside the toggle panel for example, setting a 1/2 + 1/2 two-column layout within that toggle it seems to break the page layout.
Is there a known fix or recommended method for using a two-column layout inside a toggle panel? Or is inserting inner rows within toggle panels not supported?
Thank you for your help!
Hey PSDFLYERS,
By default, the “Toggle Panels” element is not allowed to be placed inside a “Tabs” element — it should not appear as an available option when adding a new element to your Tabs. Did you manually add it via the code view?
Regardless, I tried to replicate that setup locally but couldn’t see any display issues. Could you please share the URL where I can see what you’re referring to?
Kind regards
How do you add the sticky social media icons on the left side of blog posts instead of the button at the bottom?
Hey rallred2,
Ensure that you’re using the “Featured Media Under Heading” header type in the Blog > Single Post Header tab. With that selected, in the WordPress Customizer > Salient Social settings, keep the “Determined by theme settings” option active.
Kind regards
Hi TN team,
Are you planning on continuing to release major releases for this, or is development turning to Nectarblocks?
Thanks!
Hey ND81!
We’ve been developing both Salient and Nectarblocks side by side for the past few years. Salient version 18 is currently in the works! We believe it’s important to give our users the choice between the two builders and remain dedicated to both products.
Kind regards
Excellent! Super excited to see the ongoing development of both – have a keen eye on Nectarblocks as well
We’re glad to hear it, ND81! Thanks so much for your support so far
Cheers
From this comment: https://themeforest.net/comments/30611662. I wonder why we need to use the HTML (with the flickity-viewport in HTML)
<div id="ee-cart-cross-sell-products" data-flickity=""> <div class="flickity-viewport"> <div class="flickity-slider"> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> <div class="ee-cross-sell-card" /> </div> </div> </div>
while with the official document from flickity here https://flickity.metafizzy.co/. We won’t need any flickity HTML, all these HTML will be generated by flickity.
This customized code from Salient make every plugins used library flickity won’t work as expected. The plugins used flickity library can be found here https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/flickity/
So I have some questions below
1 – What’s the purpose of these flickity HTML?
2 – Could Salient update the code to check if the flickity HTML exists and doing the customized code itself, otherwise, please use the default flickity function?
Hey cutiela83,
That structural change was implemented to ensure compatibility with how the WPBakery frontend editor works. If you’re using a plugin to create a Flickity instance outside of Salient, it should still function correctly, as the plugin’s script will be loaded instead of Salient’s version. However, a conflict will occur if you attempt to use both a Salient Flickity and a plugin Flickity on the same page. I’ve added this to the dev list to implement a workaround for such cases.
If you’re instead trying to create a manual instance outside of a plugin, you can add the class name “generate-markup” onto the slider element to have Flickity generate the markup in the default way.
Kind regards
Hello. We customized the portfolio permalink but somehow permalinks need to be flushed once or twice a day unless you don’t want to get 404 for portfolio links. Do you have any idea? We’re checking the cron jobs but we wanted to ask you first. Thanks
Hey ugurterzi,
It sounds like something is invalidating WordPress’s permalink cache—possibly a caching plugin or a cron job, as you mentioned, that’s resetting the permalinks periodically or in response to certain actions. To address this, I recommend setting your permalink via a filter, which can help ensure it’s available when the cache is being regenerated. https://pastebin.com/X7cT80es
Kind regards
Thank you. I added the filter. I’ll keep on eye on this. Best Regards
You’re welcome, ugurterzi
Is it possible to have the progress bar increase or decrease depending on scroll depth?
Hey dacamov,
Currently, there’s no built-in option to link a Progress Bar element to the scroll position. The animation triggers when the element enters the viewport and plays only once.
Kind regards
Hi @ThemeNectar, Could you please add Strava to the Social Media Links? Best regards
Hey Lanaworks,
I’ve noted the idea for it on the wishlist
Kind regards
Currently, I have set automatic display of individual sections (such as CTA text and button, 404 error, and other projects) with parameters defined, for example: Display Locations ‘After single project’, Display Conditions ‘True Everywhere’. Can I define these parameters globally for a new language (English), or do I need to manually insert the shortcode into each post or page (for the specific CZ/EN version of the section)? I would appreciate something like ‘Display Conditions: if language is set to English, then show…I use the Polylang plugin.
Hey romankac,
If you need to conditionally limit global sections per language, that would require customization from a child theme as of now. However, I’ve noted the idea for the wishlist.
Kind regards
I have the layered portfolio but on tablet and mobile i want to display 3 portfolio items instead of 2. In the global sections i changed all to 3. columns=”3” columns_tablet=”3” columns_phone=”3” But is still displays 2 how can fix this
Hey igregnl,
Are you referring to changing the number of related projects displayed in the Single Project template for that demo? If so, could you kindly share the URL of the page you’re trying to modify so we can take a look at your settings?
Kind regards
The latest version of Salient WPBakery v7.8.2 plugin.
What version does that align with on the WPBakery changelog? Is it 8.4.1?
Hey jbennett360,
We’ve decided to wait on including the latest version of WPBakery, as it has a number of known issues and regressions that have been frustrating users. We’re holding off until those issues are resolved. In the meantime, we’ve included a recent patch release to ensure compatibility with WP 6.8.
Kind regards
Big time fan of Salient, I just documented the design of a homepage using the theme to show how easy it can be: https://youtu.be/bFVy8NSlu7Y
Hey cudedesign, thanks for sharing that!
Cheers
Hi there is it possible to remove the “explore more work” section entirely from the bottom of the portfolio single pages? I have only 2 posts to show so it doesnt look good.
Hey Wisdomlikesilence,
If you’re using of the new portfolio demos, that is added via a Global Section and can be edited to your liking or removed entirely: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-builder-global-sections/
Kind regards
Hey, I want to buy this theme. Going through the comments, I see that existing clients are requesting a modal popup feature, but you’re telling them to use a third-party plugin, such as Popup Maker. Does this feature still only work through third-party plugins? Thanks.
Hey road66,
We do not offer a built-in modal feature in Salient. You would still need to utilize a plugin to get that functionality at this time.
Kind regards
Is there any way to have text be a different colour when you hover over it apart from links?
Hey Wisdomlikesilence,
That would require adding a CSS class name to either the text or parent column element in order to trigger the color change for hover. If you would like to share a page URL and let me know which area you’re trying to alter, I would be happy to provide a snippet.
Kind regards
No that’s fine I can CSS it. Thanks. Might be a handy thing to have a text item that allows hover effects in future updates.
Hi there. Its it possible to create the same “Modern Stacked” effect for regular rows/columns. Or is it limied to portfolio display. https://themenectar.com/salient/portfolio-layered/
Hey wints77,
You can use the “Sticky Content Sections” element set to the “Sticky Scroll Pinned Sections” type in order to achieve a similar result.
Kind regards
Great thanks. That is just what I need.
Glad to hear, wints77
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
