Salient Custom Branding

Note: The Salient Custom Branding Plugin was added in version 17 of Salient.

The Salient Custom Branding plugin is tailored for agencies and developers to fully rebrand Salient and the WordPress Admin panel. Easily replace all Salient logos with your own, creating a custom experience for your clients.

This plugin lets you customize the WP dashboard — logos, colors, and more — in just a few clicks, transforming the Salient brand into your own.

Accessing the Branding Options

Install and activate the “Salient Custom Branding” plugin. You can then find a new tab titled “Custom Branding” in the “Salient” sidebar menu items within the WP admin.

The settings you configure while the plugin is active will persist even after it is disabled, allowing you to hide the configuration from your client once it’s set up as needed.

You can always reinstall the plugin later to make further changes.
