How-to guides

Each guide answers one question: the things people ask support, search for, and ask assistants about the Salient WordPress theme. Every answer states the version it was verified against, and links to the reference page that documents the feature in full.

If you are looking for what an option does, start in the reference docs: Theme Options, Elements, Page Builder. If you are looking for how to get something done, start here.

Topics​

  • Header and navigation: the logo, the menus, transparent and sticky headers, and the mobile header.
  • Nectar Slider: which slider to use, and how to customize the Nectar Slider on sites that still run it.
  • Portfolio: ordering and filtering projects, lightboxes and galleries, and keeping a large grid fast.
  • Forms: laying out and styling Contact Form 7 and other forms.
  • Typography and icons: fonts, icon libraries and their versions.
  • Theme Options: custom CSS and code, colors, backgrounds and tracking, and where each belongs.
