Hey, I just clicked “update automatically” and got this message:
Updating this theme will lose any customizations you have made. ‘Cancel’ to stop, ‘OK’ to update
How do i update without losing all the customisations i have made? It would be very disappointing to lose days of work in order to run the update…
Hey – did you make modifications directly in the theme files? If so there’s no way to update without doing it manually – using a child theme for core editing is the only way to avoid this
the only modifications i have made are within the wordpress and theme options, i haven’t directly altered any code, or even added any custom css yet, so am I safe to continue?
Hello? Good to go or not?
Hey,
That’s fine – your WP settings and the theme options will persist, it’s just referring to file modifications
We are running Salient 4.5.22
URL is http://rareairpark.com The issues with the website caused by the Wordpress 4.5 update are related to using nectar shortcodes for full width sections and columns, as well as the nectar slider shortcode, all in the normal Wordpress editor. I need to be able to fix just this issue, and not have to update to the new version of Salient, which will cause many other issues. Please post a solution. Can this simply be fixed by editing the VC files to use an older version of Jquery?
Hey,
There’s no known jquery issue in the theme itself with 4.5 – I haven’t been able to replicate the error showing on your site. Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a further look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
Support license is expired. I emailed you credentials. I suspect that many of your customers are having this issue, so you should consider taking a look. I don’t think your latest update has solved everything.
Hi my Salient theme visual composer no longer works after i Updated your theme to Salient 7.0.8 and i updated Wordpress to the new version of 4.5?. I no longer see the visual composer assets/boxes in the page builder field see here: http://prntscr.com/arwgg0? but the code is available in classic mode http://prntscr.com/arwgur? and the page is live http://goo.gl/wWStMj however, when i tried to erase all the classic mode code and add new boxes/assets in page builder mode, this option comes up see here: http://prntscr.com/arwhve? but when i click one of the options, NOTHING happens and it doesnt allow me to use the page builder any longer. lets resolve this!
Hey, you need to update your version of Salient Visual Composer to the current one (4.11.2) in your plugins tab of the admin panel in order to have compatibility with WP 4.5
OK visual composer seems appears now but when i tryed to open a row or element never load!...
you can see in this image:

Boxed Layout Fail too…
http://imgur.com/kOU41pyHey, please verify that no other third party plugins you have active are causing this. If none are please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Thanks for the update, works great!
You’re very welcome 
Not sure how to deal with this. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, but cannot activate. Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Vc_Manager in /home/ehsmduser/ehsmd.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/js_composer.php on line 35
Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks =)
By the way, EXCELLENT theme. Love your work.
Hey, glad you sorted it 
Just updated to 7.0.8 and still not seeing VC elements in Page Builder view for the portfolio or for pages.
Hey,
you also need to update your Salient Visual Composer in Appearance > Install Plugins after installing the latest Salient theme to get the current version of that as well
Actually the Installed Plugins does not show under Appearance. You actually have to deactivate and delete Salient Visual Composer FIRST and then you will see the Intall Plugins under Appearance. You should let others know the same so they don’t run into the same issue. Once I did this it works just fine. Thanks guys.
Hey, thanks for noting this and i’m glad to hear you got it working 
Is there a way to override the Salient mobile menu with the premium mmenu plugin from codecanyon (http://codecanyon.net/item/mmenu-wordpress-plugin/11630470)
Hey – that would take some modding in a child theme most likely
we just updated ansd till the site is not working
Hey,
please share a URL in regards and verify that no third party plugins are causing the issue
Hey Guys!
Salient v 7.0.8 Is Now Available
The update includes the latest version of Salient Visual Composer which is compatible with WordPress 4.5 in addition to some various bug fixes (listed in the changelog).
Please remember that you’ll also need to update your Salient Visual Composer in Appearance > Install Plugins after installing the latest Salient theme to ensure compatibility.
Cheers
Thank you for the update. New at WP, how do I update the theme? Kind regards.
Hey, you can update via FTP or use the Envato toolkit plugin http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/toolbox-of-the-smart-wordpress-developer-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit--cms-23883

Hello, thank you for this wonderfull work. Bought this theme while ago and now thinking about some redesign at my website. I´d like to ask you if is it possible to do a photo gallery with this style http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio-fullwidth-masonry/
I mean, just upload photos, create gallery and asset theme to some page that will have set masonry style.
I am asking because to achiev this now I have to create page, insert gallery, turn on the lightbox and then create portfolio item for every photo and sorted in category.
Hey! As of now the masonry layout is only achievable with a portfolio element. You’ll have access to most the other portfolio styles and options with the image gallery though and the idea to allow masonry in that is indeed on the wishlist
Cheers
Hi, thank you for your answer? What other styles for example?
*.
Hey, all of the other portfolio styles can be chosen when you select “Image Grid Style” for the “Gallery type” in your image gallery element
Ok, I will try it, thank you for your help.
You’re welcome 
Hi we are trying to talk with our webdesigner, but was impossible, can you explain exactly what happen to our webpage? we open the wordpress and we look the name of the theme, the page don’t work
Hey – please share your URL in regards showing the issue
Can someone please let us know what is going on?
Hey,
WP 4.5 is not compatible with old versions of Visual Composer, an update that includes the new one will fix that. If you’re encountering issues other than editing pages with Visual Composer please share your URL
VC has been updated but we can’t use it with theme as theme author has edited the default VC files. Can the Author give us a time scale on a fix, I have a client update to complete and would rather not roll back. I am totally gob smacked the Beta has been available for over 2 weeks, there is no reason for this.
Hey,
The update to fix this is now available – Please remember that you’ll also need to update your Salient Visual Composer in Appearance > Install Plugins after installing the latest Salient theme
Cheers

Visual Composer is broken with WordPress 4.5 but the plugin was updated 6 days ago with a fix for this issue… Please update your theme as well! Thanks =)
Hey – the update is available now 
Visual composer is indeed broken with WP 4.5 update… If you need to work on your site, you might want to hold on the update for now…
@Salient team: hope to see an update soon. Keep up the great work!!
Hey! The Salient update is available now – remember to also update Salient VC to the latest version from Appearance > Plugins after installing the update

Hello ThemeNectar,
I just wanted to let you know, that the Salient Theme is maybe one of the best WP Themes so far for my experience. It works flawless in general, you guys keep it absolutely up-to-date and keep adding new cool features and possibilities. Can’t ask for much more.
It’s a pleasure to work with it.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Best.Peter
To be honest… I love the theme.
Hey Peter,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words 
Cheers
You are welcome. Of course…
Just like @guete, I also can no longer see the Visual Composer edit panel after upgrading to the new WP version. Pages on the site run well though.
Hey,
the Salient update which includes the latest Visual Composer (4.11.2) which is compatible with WP 4.5 is in the ThemeForest review queue now and will be available to download very soon. You’ll also receive an email when it’s ready.
