We’ve noticed that in the page editor, there’s an option in the Page Header metabox to “Force Transparency on Navigation,” which works great for enabling transparent headers.
However, we haven’t found a similar option for posts. We’re looking to achieve the same transparent header effect on single post pages — either through the WordPress UI or programmatically.
Could you please advise: 1. Is there a built-in way to force a transparent header on single post pages (similar to the “Force Transparency” checkbox on pages)? 2. If not, what is the recommended way to enable transparent headers for posts either via functions.php or another supported method?
We’d appreciate any guidance or best practices for this, as we’d like to keep our implementation as compatible with future updates as possible.
You're right, the specific "Force Transparency On Navigation" checkbox found in the Page Header Settings metabox is generally not available on standard single post pages. Achieving a transparent header effect on posts often relies on the presence of a Page Header or Nectar Slider element triggering the effect automatically.
If you're not using one of those elements or need to force transparency programmatically, the recommended method is to use the nectar_activate_transparent_header filter in your child theme's functions.php file. Here is a common code snippet for this: https://pastebin.com/h4gSHVEv.
Remember that caching or conflicts with plugins can sometimes interfere, so clearing cache might help if needed.
I’ve tried implementing the nectar_activate_transparent_header filter in my child theme’s functions.php file as suggested. While it works correctly on pages, it doesn’t seem to apply to single posts. I’ve confirmed that caching is cleared and no plugin conflicts seem apparent.
Could you please advise how I can get the transparent header effect working on posts as well?
I’ve tried the nectar_activate_transparent_header filter as recommended, but it still only applies to pages—not posts. The result doesn’t differ much from the earlier method I was using.
Is there another way to force transparency on single posts?
To assist you further, could you kindly create a temporary admin user for us so we can review the issue directly? You may use any email address when setting up the account, as we do not have a designated support email. Please ensure the login credentials are working before sharing them with us. This will help us investigate more efficiently.
Sure! Would it be possible for me to send the login credentials via private message instead? Since this is a public ticket, I'd prefer not to share them here directly. Let me know the best way to send them securely.

Hey Again,
Try using this instead and check:
add_filter('nectar_activate_transparent_header','salient_child_modify_transparent_nav'); function salient_child_modify_transparent_nav() { return true; }Best,

Hey Again,
The Global Section you are adding to the Header is causing the force transparency to not take effect. Try changing the location to correct this.

It works, thank you so much Tahir! You're a hero :-)
