What’s the best way to use another Google maps plugin and still allow the contact page map to work? I was using Maps Builder (https://wordimpress.com/plugins/maps-builder-pro/) to add a map to the off-canvas menu, but it caused the contact page map to disappear. Is there a solution to this, or am I stuck only using the contact page map?

Hey,

You can try to change the line in the map.js file located in the js folder
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
to
mapAPI_Loaded();

Cheers

That didn’t work. The contact page map still disappears when I have the other plugin active. I’ve seen other themes and plugins allow multiple maps on one page. Is this a possibility to make Salient permanently allow multiple maps (ie. without a theme hack)?

Salient does allow multiple maps per page when using the visual composer map element – as far as integration goes with the plugin you’re using it would require me to test further with it to discover the conflict. I’ve noted to do so :)

Cheers

ThemeNectar you recently posted a comment “For everyone who hasn’t seen the announcements, In regards to WordPress 4.5”

We had a developer who installed Salient (version 7.05) for us with the Visual Composer. I noticed with the latest WordPress update Visual Composer stopped working so I went to Plugins to update and it will only update to version 4.9.2 (cannot get updated to version 4.11.2 unless you visit the plugin on Code Canyon and pay for a license). How can we update Salient to version 7.0.8 and in doing that will it automatically update Visual Composer to 4.11.2? The developer who set this up for us is no longer available to help us so we are trying to figure out how to fix this. Thank You in advance for any help.

Hey,

You’ll need to use the Envato toolkit plugin in order to update your version of Salient – http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/toolbox-of-the-smart-wordpress-developer-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit--cms-23883 Once you’ve updated Salient, head to the plugins section of your admin panel to update Visual Composer

Cheers

Hello, my wordpress has been updated to the latest wordpress, and the Visual Composer has stopped working. Please help asap as need to make changes to my live site. Thanks

Also i have seen somewhere a updated of 7.0.8 but i haven’t seen anywhere to update this? from 7.0.7

Hey,

The only version of Salient that is compatible with the latest WP is Salient 7.0.8, and the only version of Salient Visual Composer that is compatible with WP 4.5 is 4.11.2. If you’re using older versions of these and have updated to WP 4.5, your visual composer will not work.

Once you’ve updated Salient, head to the plugins section of your admin panel to update Visual Composer. If you’re having issues after using both the current versions, check for third party plugin issues – WP 4.5 added a new version of jQuery and a lot of plugins broke because of it.

You can update Salient using the Envato Toolkit plugin: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/toolbox-of-the-smart-wordpress-developer-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit--cms-23883

For some reason, when I install Contact Forms 7 plugin to add a form, any time I try to edit setting for any element, the popup window freezes and does not respond no matter how long I wait (firefox or chrome). What are the best alternatives to Contact Forms 7? I’m looking for a simple name/e-mail/subject/body type.

Hey, could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com/ also kindly let me know your ticket ID here once you’ve done so

I already opened the ticket and thanks to your help I managed to fix the issue. It was a conflicting plugins that I realized I could live without. Thanks again

Glad to hear! :)

Is the current version of Salient (7.0.8) compatible with the latest WP (4.5.2)? Thanks, Roland

Hey, yes – just ensure you’re also using Salient VC 4.11.2 as previous versions won’t work with WP 4.5+

Cheers

Hi, great theme.

My question involves a one page scrolling site with animated links. I know how to create animated anchor links, and know how to setup a one page scroll site.

HOWEVER, I had already designed the entire site with all pages, set-up as a regular, non-one-page scrolling site, but the client has now asked for it to be a 1 page scroll site. Since my pages are already built as separate pages, without having to rebuild each page as a section on the homepage, how can I achieve a 1 page site utilizing the work I’ve already done?

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

You’d need to copy the content from the other pages and paste it into the home page to get all of the VC elements – After that you can use the animated scrolling option as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-NQ3YItlc

Cheers

will do thanks!

You’re welcome :)

When I try to add a background behind the content and set to full width background it disappears, any reason why? Been having this problem since I bought the theme and I am using the Child Theme.

Hey,

Please share your URL in regards so I can see why that’s occurring for you as there’s no current known issue like that

Cheers

Hi,

Is there a way to upload multiple embed video.

I have 800×600 video when I uploaded with vimeo with VIDEO PLAYER it put without black bar as suppose. but when I set it with embed code I can set 1280×720 but in a portfolio I can only set 1 embed feature video.

Thanks,

Hey,

Have you tried to add your video embeds using the portfolio extra content editor?

Cheers

Is there a way to hide / disable the “hamburger” menu icon on mobile devices. I don’t have a navigation menu (don’t need one). So, when you visit my site on mobile I’d like to hide that navigation menu icon so it’s not overlapping my logo.

Hey, add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

header#top #toggle-nav {
  display: none!important;
}

i have updated my php from 5.4 tot 5.5, and my visual composer does not work anymore. Now i see that someone else had the same problem, but no fix was given, so, can you please help me?

Hey, please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on :) themenectar.ticksy.com/ also let me know your ticket ID here once you’ve done so

how do you get the second nav like in – http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-corporate/about/

Hey, in 7.0 of the theme there’s a new element in the Salient Visual Composer called the “Page submenu” :)

Hey guys!

For everyone who hasn’t seen the announcements,

In regards to WordPress 4.5

The only version of Salient that is compatible with the latest WP is Salient 7.0.8, and the only version of Salient Visual Composer that is compatible with WP 4.5 is 4.11.2. If you’re using older versions of these and have updated to WP 4.5, your visual composer will not work.

Hi Nectar,

I added this code to get 2 column portfolio (Working Perfectly) But this code affected as well image gallery which I use for my portfolio item.

@media only screen and (min-width: 690px) {
    body .portfolio-items .col.elastic-portfolio-item {
        width: 50% !important;
    }
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
    .container.main-content {
        max-width:100% !important;
    }
}

Never mind I figure it out by searching on here ( You can add custom CSS on certain page SICK !!)

Nectar the best !! respect Thanks,

Hey, glad to hear! :)

Hi would like to:

1. Change the color of the menu to be pink when one clicks on it and not just the line below it

2. How do i change the mobile menu color to white similar to the desktop version

3. Also change drop down menu background to white and text to black

4. I received the code below for moving menu to the left but now its not responsive kindly assist @media only screen and (max-width:1000px) { header#top #toggle-nav { right: auto!important; left: 0; } header#top #logo { margin-left: 50px; }

My domain is http://shiyenze.co.ke/wp/

It seems you’ve removed the css so I can’t troubleshoot it for you currently, if you decide to add it back please let me know

I have added the code back

@media only screen and (max-width:1000px) { header#top #toggle-nav { right: auto!important; left: 0; } header#top #logo { margin-left: 50px; } }

Add this in as well:

header#top #toggle-nav {
    z-index: 10000!important;
}

hello! http://0ce.f23.myftpupload.com/ I changed the header starting font color in the options here to the golden brown color but its still showing black. Any suggestions :-)

Hey,

I’m currently seeing it as that on the URL you’ve shared – could you please let me know if something’s changed since you posted?

Cheers

I foudn the CSS and chnaged it. Was it black because of the dark nectar setting? woudl it change if i changed it in the visual composer font colro settings?

Hey, when using a dark nectar slide and having the nav set to transparent, the text color will always be black as of now

Hey there, we’ve been working our best to increase site speed and some opportunities are pointing to some questions we have about the Salient theme:

It appears there are some instances of “no cache” headers in the theme’s code. Is there a way to change these settings so we can better leverage caching? or could me better understand the rationale behind why some parts are set to not have specified expiration?

Also, every time we update the theme it seems to overwrite some custom SEO scripts we’ve implemented – is there a way to make it so these custom scripts aren’t overwritten with every theme update?

Thank you, we’re loving the theme thus far!

Hey!

1. Could you let me know what files you’re talking about specifically?

2. You can include custom script files in a child theme – this will keep them persistent through updates

Cheers

Hey!

1. I will track down those specific files and get back.

2. Great feedback, thank you!

Another quick question – I’ve added a main navigation button but have noticed after clicking the button, the text disappears (turns same color as button). Is there a way to fix that?

Site is here: www.neuropace.com (button referenced: “Community Chat” top right of screen)

Hey, this is a known bug of the current release and will be sorted in the upcoming minor release update :)

Hey Phectar,

Just a quick question please.

For some reason my buttons in the menu don’t go back to my site when you enter the shop. The same happens with my blog and I know it pertains to the one page setup, but for some reason the code that I’ve seen in the support forum here doesn’t work with my site.

Do you have a line of code that can fix this so the menu buttons still work when the user travels outside the one page realm?

Thanks

Hey,

Have you tried to use the full page URL in your links such as “http://csmurphy.com/#portfolio” instead of just ”#portfolio” ?

Cheers

Hey Phil,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes I have tried that but the links just hang there and I’m not sure why. Also, those types of links take it off the one page scroll feature. Is there a way fo the buttons to know when they’re on the one page setup so there is a page change when there doesn’t need to be?

Hey, please see my response to your other comment in regards

Privet email sent…. waiting for replay. thanks

Hey – i’ll look out for it :)

hello again I’m very happy with salient. I have 4 columns in a row and i have some text after the text there’s a button is there a way to align tall he buttons evenly to the bottom, since all text is diferent

Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:

.page-id-6687 .wpb_text_column a {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 15px;
    left: 15px;
}
.page-id-6687 .wpb_column[data-has-bg-color="true"] .wpb_wrapper {
  position: static!important;
}
body.page-id-6687 .wpb_column[data-has-bg-color="true"]:before, body.page-id-6687 .wpb_column[data-hover-bg^="#"]:before {
  z-index: -1;
}

Thanks!!!!

You’re welcome :)

Hello, first of all great job on the theme, love it!

I have been trying to figure out the following points reading your comments but couldn’t find anything that worked.

1. I have the background set to white, on header resize scroll, however, under the header it sometimes appears a black gap. I would like that to be white as it breaks the feel of the page. I used the:

#header-space { background-color:#fff; }

It works when there’s no header slide, if there’s a nectar slider the black gap still appears.

2. I would like to change the button style to a custom one, which isn’t as round as the rounded style. I tried adding custom CSS, it almost worked, I just can’t change the radius of the button, if it’s set to the rounded style it’s too round, and if it is set to the default, it doesn’t round borders at all. Also, I’d like the button to top to remain as is in the rounded style.

3. When I add the Recent Posts shortcodes, the Read More button isn’t showing up.

Thank you very much! :grin:

Hey, thanks a lot!

1. Could you kindly share your page URL so I can see why that’s occurring for you?

2. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:

html body[data-button-style="rounded"] .nectar-button.see-through, html body[data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .nectar-button.see-through, body[data-button-style="rounded"] .nectar-button.see-through-2, html body[data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .nectar-button.see-through-2, html body[data-button-style="rounded"] .nectar-button.see-through-3, html body[data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .nectar-button.see-through-3, body[data-button-style="rounded"] {
    border-radius: 10px!important;
    -webkit-border-radius: 10px!important;
}

3. Not all styles offered in the recent posts element have a read more button – which are you using?

Cheers :)

Hi! Thanks for the reply!

1. The URL is this http://www.vforviu.com/, on mobile devices it still shows the “gap” (black background) if you scroll. I’ve managed to sort of fix it on desktop, but not if there’s a nectar slider like here: http://www.vforviu.com/attic/

2. It isn’t working, whenever I try to change the border-radius, it gets stuck with the theme button style selected.

3. I’m using the Default one, I guess it doesn’t have it.

Thank you!!

Hey,

1. Try reducing your shrink number a bit in the options panel – that space is occurring due to the high one you current have set

2. This will be needed to also change the submit buttons around your site:
html body[data-button-style="rounded"] input[type=submit], html body[data-button-style="rounded"].ascend .container-wrap input[type="submit"] {
    border-radius: 10px!important;
    -webkit-border-radius: 10px!important;
}
