We have purchased the Salient theme and wanted to know whether once we’ve installed in on our WordPress site if the Salient theme will update automatically or not? If not, what do we need to do to get it to update automatically? Thanks!
Hey!
When you’re trying to update you can use the Envato toolkit plugin in regards for easy updating to avoid having to upload it manually

Hey,
I’m using a carousel module to show testimonials in our website. Two questions:
1. How can I change gutter between columns? 2. Is it possible to open the Team Member Link URL in a new tab?
PS: You have a typo on the Team Member Link URL box title. Team Memeber Link URL
Hey,
1. Are you trying to globally increase it or decrease it – or are you attempting to change it for a specific row?
2. You’d need to edit the file at nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php and check the nectar_team_member function
3. Thanks for letting me know, it’ll be fixed in the next update
Cheers
Hey,
Regarding your questions:
1. Doubling the gutter size in desktop, only for this carousel. 2. Will take a look at the file. 3. You’re welcome
4. Is it possible to have a different number of scroll columns on mobile/desktop? I would like to scroll 3 items at a time on desktop (I’ve moded the init.js file to achieve this) and to scroll 1 item at a time on mobile (otherwise some columns will never be seen)...
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.wpb_column {
padding: 2%;
}
}
4. This would also require modding the init.js at this line var scrollNum = ($(this).parents(’.carousel-wrap’).attr(‘data-full-width’) == ‘true’) ? ‘auto’ : ’’ ;
Cheers
Where can I access the testimonial source code? I want to put the name under the photo and the quote on the bottom. Thanks
Hey,
The file to edit is located at nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/testimonial.php
Cheers
Hi there! I see the code on someone else’s question about removing the quotation marks on the testimonial slider – should it be the same code to remove the quotation mark from the multiple visible testimonial slider? Thanks!
Hey!
Add this:
.testimonial_slider[data-style="multiple_visible"] blockquote p:before {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Is there a way to add padding and backround color to a nested table?
Hey,
it would require custom css – if you shared your URL I could provide an example
Cheers
I got buttons that erratically appear and disappear when viewing through safari on an iPhone.
Hey,
Please share your URL in regards that has the issue so I can take a look
Cheers
Also only happens erratically.
Sometimes to get the problem I went from: http://infovestusa.com/what-we-do/ to “More Info”iPhone 5/6 and Safari, cant use emulations.
Thanks
Hey again,
I’ve tested on a physical iphone 6 and attempted to refresh the page 10 times but couldn’t get the “Download the Factsheet” button to not display – are you also able to get this to occur on the live demos?
Rather try go from http://infovestusa.com/what-we-do/ to “More Info”. Thats mainly when I experience the problem.
Hey, try to add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .nectar-button.see-through, body .nectar-button.see-through {
transform: translateZ(0)!important;
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0)!important;
}
Hey, sorry added this and still not working.
Hey – could you please send an email with your admin credentials using the contact form on my author page? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar I’ll need to login to take a closer look at the setup in order to assist
I have sent the details, please notify me when fixed. Thank you
Thanks! Try clearing you cache and checking again
Cheers
Thanks is working! 
Glad to hear
Hi, I’m receiving an error when trying to add a google map:
Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.
site: http://www.crossfitcaracals.com/
I’ve disabled all plugins except the Salient Visual composer.
Please advise. thanks Tristan
Hey,
The issue only applies to new domains where the maps script hasn’t been prior to June 22 of this year. This article explains it: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html
If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file -$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
will become
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
The next update will add an input for users to add the key in the admin panel
Cheers
I just moved my site from a staging location to a the production location and now my Google Map is crashing with the following message:
Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.
Is this a problem with the visual composer, Google, or something else?
This problem does not exist on my staging site.
let me describe it a bit better – the page loads and the map loads the entire way and then shows the error message

Fantastic theme How can I make the size of the menu boxes consistant and reduce the padding between them?
Thanks!
Could you please your URL in regards so I can see your current settings
Cheers
also need to reduce the depth of the header bar equally top and bottom without reducing the size of the logo 
many thanks
Hey, add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, #header-outer[data-lhe="animated_underline"] header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, #header-outer:not([data-lhe="animated_underline"]) header#top nav ul li.button_solid_color a:hover {
margin-right: 5px!important;
margin-left: 5px!important;
width: 102px;
text-align: center;
}
Thanks – Added this to custom css box under general settings/salient but no change to width of boxes and padding or to depth of top bar?
Hey, remove the pre tags that got pasted in with it
That got it thanks for excellent support – is there a way to reduce the depth of the header (i know I can put a -10 padding and reduce the bottom of the header but no option to do the same at the top) and the padding around the text in the nav boxes?
also text not centering vertically in boxes?
Hey again, if you just add a regular value into the header padding such as 10, without the minus sign it should reduce the padding. The default, which it’s currently on, is 28
Much appreciated THANK YOU! – Just need to reduce the padding in the menu boxes so I can increase the size of the menu text without it breaking into two lines
You’re welcome
Use this:
header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, body #header-outer.transparent header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, #header-outer[data-lhe="animated_underline"] header#top nav > ul > li.button_solid_color > a, #header-outer:not([data-lhe="animated_underline"]) header#top nav ul li.button_solid_color a:hover {
padding-left: 5px!important;
padding-right: 5px!important;
}
Thanks but I still need to keep the boxes the same width I just need to allow more space for the longest menu items before they break into two lines so i can increase the size of the menu text
Hi there! Can you please tell me what is causing that just my home page is having lagging issues on mobile?
www.bongidesigns.com
FYI, Things that I have on my home page: 1. Slider Revolution (hidden on mobile) 2. Nectar Slider (hidden on desktop) 3. Some other rows (hidden on desktop) 4. Some other rows (hidden on mobile)
Please let me know.
Thanks, Ben
Hey!
Are you referring to the lag of the slider loading or scrolling performance?
Cheers
On some mobiles or in chrome there is a lagging issue with black parts coming up when you try to scroll down. But is just happening on the home page
Hey, have you tested to verify that it isn’t connected to the slider you have active on the page? I.e test when it’s temp removed
Hello, I am attempting to install Salient on WP 4.5.3 on my local computer, but constantly receive the error message “Are you sure you want to do this?” Is the latest version of Salient compatible with version 4.5.3?
Sorry, just saw that 4.5.2 is the latest version. I rolled back to 4.5.2 but still no luck.
Okay, you can disregard this. I was able to install it manually and not through the theme installer in WP.
Hey, glad to hear you got it sorted
Hey there, is there an ETA of when the ability to set full height rows in VC will become available? I’m following the comment threads and it was mentioned that it’ll be in the next feature update and I’m just waiting for that one. Thanks!
Hey!
Most likely 1-2 weeks
Cheers
Heya, quick question – is it possible to turn off the page pre-loader on specific pages? Thanks!
Hey, it would indeed be possible with css – if you share the page you’re looking to hide it on I could provide an example
Hi!
where can i find more icons like: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s725/sh/edf38049-a61a-4156-8666-09363e12ed06/f64da87a1f99f58424aea9d44c73b786
and where can i change their color to red
Thanks!
Hey,
In the nectar shortcode generator, which is available in any Visual Composer text block – there’s an icon shortcode. That’s the “linea” icon family within it
Cheers
Currently all i get is a slide out from the side with parent pages.
http://new.leanconsulting.com/Thanks, Sam
Hey,
In your Salient options panel > header nav choose the sticky mobile header option to enable that style
Cheers
Hi, I need to override file map.js, located in js directory. I would replace it with child theme. Could you explain me how to override this in child theme?
Hey,
Unfortunately it’s not possible to override that script via a child theme as of now but i’ve noted to make it compatible
Cheers

Hey, that’s working for me when I paste it into the text tab on a text block in VC – if you need help getting it there please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Hi, loving your theme. I was actually able to create my first WP site with this theme.
My question is can we add an off canvas nav to specific pages only? We’d like to add it only to a password protected page for the staff.
Thanks!
Hey, that’s awesome to hear!
Unfortunately the off canvas nav is a global setting, though css could be used to hide it on certain pages. If you could share your URL and let me know which page(s) you’re trying to hide it on I’d be glad to assist
Cheers
Thank you!
It is http://www.myreliefplus.com.
And I would like it on every page EXCEPT myreliefplus.com/diagnostic-portal and all of it’s children pages. (for example, we have /diagnostic-portalchiropracticsciatica right now as a draft but we will be adding more and more pages as children to /diagnostic-portal).
I understand I’ll most likely have to edit the CSS as I add pages, correct?
The example I used actually should be /diagnosis-sciatica
Hey, to remove it on diagnosis-sciatica/ enter this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.page-id-2070 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you! I realized I made a mistake with my first reply. We’d like the off canvas menu ONLY on the diagnostic-portal page and all its children pages. Sorry for the mistake!
Hey – The snippet would then change to:
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: none!important;
}
.page-id-2070 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle {
display: block!important;
}
Thank you so much! Now in order to add it to more pages, would i have to copy this code for every page and just change the ID? Like this:
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: none!important; } .page-id-2070 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: block!important; }
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: none!important; } .page-id-2071 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: block!important; }
Hey, that’s correct
Thanks again!
Hey, Unfortunately this didn’t work. The menu still shows up on the rest of the pages. This is what is in my CSS option panel (first set of code is to hide certain elements on mobile devices):
@media (max-width: 480px){ .element1, .element2 { display: none; }
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: none!important; } .page-id-2070 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: block!important; }
Hey, it seems you’re missing a closing bracket on your first snippet – it should be:
@media (max-width: 480px){ .element1, .element2 { display: none; } }
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: none!important; } .page-id-2070 .slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: block!important; }
That worked!
However, I’m seeing some type of icon or something behind the hamburger menu icon:
http://imgur.com/UyPrNoL http://798.b2e.myftpupload.com/diagnostic-portal/diagnosis-sciatica/Hey, change the snippet to be:
@media (max-width: 480px){ .element1, .element2 { display: none; } }
.slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: none!important; } .page-id-2070 .buttons .slide-out-widget-area-toggle { display: block!important; }
Unfortunately, that didn’t work either. The menu didn’t show up. I cleared my cache just in case as well. (I apologize for this being such a pain!)
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can add the code in as an example? https://themenectar.ticksy.com just let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so
Thank you! Ticket #827001
Is it possible to have a multiple filters on a portfolio page?
Hey, as of now this would require some custom development unfortunately – you can have as many filters as needed but multiple filter systems isn’t possible by default
Hi guys, Very nice theme! I installed a Progress Map Wordpress Plugin but doesn´t work, I contact the support and says that your theme doesn´t support jquery. It is true? I use an old version of salient: 2.1.5. Perhaps this is the problem.
Hey, thanks a lot!
Salient is built using jQuery so that’s not the case, even back in the older versions – anyway you could share your URL in regards?
Cheers
