Hey,
Im having problems with the my sites “jetpack”. Its says the following :
“Your theme (Salient) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files. These files may need updating to ensure they are compatible with the current version of WooCommerce. You can see which files are affected from the system status page. If in doubt, check with the author of the theme”
My website is not displaying properly because of it, and the jetpack does not work. How do I fix this problem.
Thanks
Edit : The the products on the right side of my website do not display. It is just a blank white screen. I don’t know if this is related to the jetpack not working. Please help me these issues.
Hey sandman101,
Are you using the current version of Salient (7.5.02)? If so, please share your URL in regards so I can take a further look
Cheers
Hey,
I just updated salient to 7.5.02, and the problem seems to be solved but now the social media icons are messed up. They are displaying vertically over the whole site. Cant seem to figure out how to get rid of them.

Hey, i’m currently not seeing that occur, have you tried to clear your cache since the update?
Is there a way to manipulate the portfolio hover options? If you look at the page here, http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ , you will see one portfolio option. Instead of the links showing when hovering, I would like to have a play button, something like fa-play-circle-o, to show on the hover. When clicked that link should take the user to the portfolio item. Is this possible? I would want this functionality for all my portfolio items. Thanks.
also, where do I change the of the portfolio pagination? I would like previous project and next project to say “Previous Message” and “Next Message”
Also, is there a way to link to a filtered portfolio? If you look at the page here, http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ , you will see three portfolio items. Two are under the category Parables. Is there a way to link directly to only the Parables items from an outside page? Essentially, is there a way to have http://brian.aclz.org/messages/#parables work?
Finally, is there a way to change the color of the dropdown filters on the page http://brian.aclz.org/messages/ ? I tried changing it in the portfolio option and it wasn’t working. Thanks!
Hey freshlyroastedweb,
1. This would require modding to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory as of now
2. This text is located in the functions.php in the project_single_controls function, however it could also be translated via the .po file without touching the code
3. You can link to single categories only through their archive pages as of now – you can access this via /project-type/project-cat on your URL e.g. http://brian.aclz.org/project-type/parables/
4. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel 
body .portfolio-filters a, body .portfolio-filters #sort-portfolio {
background-color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
Awesome, thank you! I located the tnymce file and the shortcode but am unsure what to change to. Is this something you can share or is it too custom? If it is too custom, is there a way to remove “View Larger” option on the hover and change the text from “More Details” to Watch Message”? Thanks!
I was able to hide the “View Large”, now I just need to change the text of “More Details” to “Watch Message”
Hey, that line should be located in the same function echo ‘’.__(“More Details”, NECTAR_THEME_NAME).’’;
How do I change the portfolio path name? For example, right now it is www.example.com/portfolio/item. I want it to say www.example.com/messages/item. I know I need to change the functions.php but I am unsure where.
nevermind, i found it in the Salient options
Hey freshlyroastedweb, glad to hear you’ve found it
Hello !
I just wanted to ask if there is a clean way to create this effect with your theme : http://ausablechasm.com/
Actually I succeeded in putting my images in the background in different boxes with the parallax effect. I played with the margins to pretend the boxes are not empties. It does the job but it’s not responsive on mobile.
Maybe I’m missing something that could be simpler !
The other problem I have is the slowness of the theme even with some plugin like W3 Total Cache or Better WordPress Minify. Otherwise it is still a good theme !
Thank you !
Hey lteboul!
1. There’s a feature in Salient that was just added which would allow something just like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3P1BsTitnE
2. Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look
Cheers
in the full width masonry blog. How can I edit the size of each box and its location on the page!
take a look please. from the pages section its not possible.
http://disrupt-0815.com/blog/Hey Andrew,
1. Inside of every post there’s a dropdown to select the size: http://imgur.com/a/rD8q5
2. Wordpress orders posts by the date they were published, rearranging the order besides changing the date would require the use a plugin
Cheers
can you kindly advice what type of plugin that is called??!!!! like for example wordpress post plugin or what !!!
You could use this in regards https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Hi there!
Did you get my message? I sent you a link to some examples with the H1 change that happened after the last update.
Hey, sorry about that! The typography responsiveness was changed to be more consistent – I apologized that’s effected the design you’d had with the size selected to fit snug, however changing it would be simple with css or by adjusting the typography settings.
Here’s some css
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
body .col h2 {
font-size: 32.5px;
}
}
Thank you!! That CSS is working perfectly I’m playing around with the width px to find the optimal moment for it to shrink.
How would I do that in the typography settings though? I don’t see an option in there for its responsive size change.
Hey, there’s no option to control the responsive sizing – they’re handled through calculations. However in the past the responsive sizing for h1-h5 was inconsistent i.e. some smaller heading tags could end up showing as larger than the higher heading tags. In order to change how your h2 is showing in mobile you’d need to change the desktop size as well
hey guys! I’m currently using your theme (www.nobly.com) and love it! I love it so much in fact that I’d love to use the “bones” in a different HTML project. I’ve noticed you say that you don’t have plans for an HTML version, but I’m wondering if it would be possible to easily leverage the CSS and javascript you’ve written in an HTML project. Is that something you offer? Basically a “dev-ready” version of the css (or SASS/LESS) and javascript? If so I would be very interested.
Thanks!
Hey entropic!
Unfortunately I don’t have these to distribute – but if you purchase a new license for your static site, feel free to port the code if desired. Also, your site looks great
Cheers
May I request you to add 500px, Unsplash & Stampsy on the social media list. It would mean the world to me. I am not able to code it, so would highly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Also, is there any chance to update the instagram logo. Thanks guys.
Hey joemania,
I’ve noted your first requests and also noted to update the instagram logo
Cheers
Fantastic. This is great. When will it be available? Cheers again.
The next update will be out in 1-2weeks
hey there,
I was writing previously regarding a social media button for ‘Stampsy’, 500px and Unsplash, but sadly they are still missing.
also: in the backend of Salient / when you create a new portfolio item: it would make life insanely better, if you could see a thumbnails for each image, once you upload one, otherwise you always have to guess which image you want to replace…..
maybe you can work on this for the next update. cheers
Hi there, I was wondering if I could get help with this. The mobile version of the site is showing some white space on the right hand side. Any ideas on why that is? http://clone.vizlly.com/wp/
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I think I figured it out. Was a CSS overwrite issue. Thanks anyway!
Hey vfmleonado, I’m glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Hey, I want to add a “sold out” badge for the products that are out of stock. How do i do this ?
Hey sandman101, have you looked into using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-stickers-by-webline/ ?
Cheers

Hey Jesusarco,

Cheers

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 ket me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so
Cheers
Thanks….
You’re welcome
Hi Good afternoon, your plataform themenectar.ticksy.com/ the platform does not work, it gives me an error-504 Gateway Time-out.
Thanks…
Hey, are you still experiencing this?
Hi,
I would like to use a video background on one of my banners. Just like you have done in this demo. http://preview.themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266?_ga=1.261196426.662746886.1473187867
I want to know what is the recommended video width and hight? Is there anything else I should know before buying a video?
Also, I would like to know what type of speed optimization plugins do you use for the demos and what do you recommend?
Hey seseskiz,
1. Supplying the video in a 16:9 aspect ratio is all that’s required, whether you want to do 1280×720 or larger is up to you, however that size usually gives a good balance of size/quality. I list places to convert videos for the web formats in the user guide as well. For the demo I only use caching/minifcation with W3 total cache and bwp minify
Cheers
Thank you, I will try the suggested.
I have 2 more questions. I would like to externalize the HUGE inline css code.
http://imgur.com/a/ahjucThe reason I wanna do this is for speed optimization as suggested by gtmetrix.com and google speed optimization tools
My 2nd question is how do I control the General/Overall link colors? I did not find a way to do that in the Salient options.
When you select a theme color, it automatically matches the link colors with the theme color. However, I would like to have an option to change these.
For a regular link, hover, active and especially visited.
Thank you
Hey,
1. In the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab make sure to check the option for “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS Into External Stylesheet”
2. Use this in the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
html body a {
color: #000;
}
html body a:hover {
color: #ccc;
}
html body a:visited {
color: #ccc;
}
Cheers
This code did not work for the a:visited link.
I have changed it to:
html body a {color: #f9a61a;} html body a:hover {color: #CE5D00;} html body a:visited {color: #f9a61a;}
but the visited link is still showing black. It does not take effect. I have cleared the catch and tried it again but it is still black.
I have one more question.
I have put a link in the side menu.
I have put a “Text” widget in the side menu. The content is this:
Request appointment
Schedule
I would like to make the font of that link underline and on hover the font color should be black. I have tired a lot of things but does not work. I have added class, span and id to the link and style it but it does not change.
Hey,
1. Have you tried to change it to use important? i.e.
html body a {color: #f9a61a;} html body a:hover {color: #CE5D00;} html body a:visited {color: #f9a61a!important;}
2. When you place your site Live on a URL I can see please let me know and I’ll take a look at this for you
This actually modified everything. Now all the links are orange, including the main navigation, footer and even the wordpress dashboard site name and edit page links on live view.
I only want to edit the body text content or the main content links. Not the navigation, the footer or anything that has nothing to do with the main content of the site… I am mainly worried about the visited link because when you visit the page the link becomes black which gets mixed with the body text. Becomes hard for a visitor to tell which is a link and which is the text. Even the “untouched”, corporate demo is like that.
Hey,
try changing it to be more specific like so:
html body a {color: #f9a61a;} html body a:hover {color: #CE5D00;} html body .container.main-content a:visited {color: #f9a61a!important;}
This works but for one page only! The rest of the pages have that same issue.
For example I have links in a Call-To-Action area or in a div or raw they still have the same issue. I am guessing these are outside the main content. I just cant under why? I mean I have built the pages in visual composer and everything done there should be in the main content area of the page. Anything outside of it for example the navigation, footer or salient slider is controlled somewhere else.
Can you please try that same css sent me on a few pages and see if it works on all of them or not?
Ok this was a hosting catch issue. I just flushed the catch and it worked. hate godaddy for that lol
OK now after testing… and re-testing I found an issue with this too. As I said after clearing the hosting catch it worked fine. however, now I notice that some of the stuff are also changed. Like some of the buttons that had white text and colored background are showing this color #CE5D00 and the blog page the read me buttons, category buttons, and Blog’s Recent post banner links are #CE5D00 too. This shows that they were visited but I would like these to stay white.
All i want to do is change the current black color visited text to that color but it should only effect regular main content links. Not the buttons, banner links or category links, or anything else besides the main content text.
Ok now finally fixed!!! this was the code that did it for me
html body .container.main-content p a {color: #f9a61a;} html body .container.main-content p a:hover {color: #CE5D00;} html body .container.main-content p a:visited {color: #f9a61a!important;}
Hey,
Glad to hear you got it working
Please UPDATE the portfolio layout and styling. Very outdated and would be great for something more modern or with more options. Thanks,
Hey Ewanbenoit,
Thanks for the request – there’s already six portfolio styles available currently, but the next update will indeed be adding more options
Cheers
Google Maps yields error Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.
Saw previous post to change line to $.getScript(‘https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
But this does not fix the issue. Please advise. Thanks.
Hey 0ldfart,
The current version of Salient (7.5+) now has a field in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab for adding in your API key. Once you provide a valid API key for google maps it will load
Cheers
Hi,
I am having a few issues making my site responsive. Slowly resolving them one by one. However really struggling to get my tables to display correctly.
Could you have a look please
It looks like this on a mobile device. http://imgur.com/rm13etP – it will resize but eventually gets cut off.
http://suziruffell.dreamhosters.com/Thanks so much for your help.
Also could you advise me which thumbnail I change to change the image that appears when the link to the website is shared.
On facebook it looks like this:http://imgur.com/AAKPWOn
I have changed the favicon and the featured image on the home-page and it has made no difference.
Thank you.
Hey Lilipie,
1. Add this into the custom css box
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {
table { table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; }
body:not(.woocommerce-cart) .main-content td {
width: 90px!important;
overflow: hidden;
}
}
2. You can use Yoast SEO for this, the plugin allows you to enter in your desired open graph data which is what facebook uses for that https://yoast.com/social-media-optimization-with-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/

When comes a new update , because the latest version of Visual Composer is not working with WordPress 4.6 .
Hey Lorogan, there’s no known issues with WP 4.6 and Salient VC 4.12, have you verified that no third party plugins are causing this in regards?
Hi,
I have pagination on and Infite Scroll and I’ve chosen 15 posts for the portfolio – but when it loads more it just shows the first 15 again and again. Same when I choose pagination. Could you please help?
I’ve tried disabling other plugins.
Hey sourskittleash,
Could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can check over the settings? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
hello,
in Feb 2015 I bougth template Salient, however just few days ago I started to use it to build the www page.
I have to instal WP 4.6 (my server suplier doesn’t support old instal version), I used data which I download when I bought template (I tried the most recent dummy data, but all problems below occured + there were bugs in code additionally and sites didn’t shown properly)
I know that support time expand, however I hope that you will help me, as I didn’t bother you till this time in terms of support and I didn’t used template yet till now.
Problems I faced with template Salient are (in order of importance):
1. Nectar slider doesn’t work properly – in slider on page all slides are shown instead of only those, which are marked in certain Location – to present the problem here ( http://www.wolenurkowanie.pl/portfolio/geowolf-social/ ) I make public your template site, which should present only 2 slides from Location GeoWolf Social and present all slider
2. there is no possibility to use Visual Composer. Problem is that from 16th of Aug my server provider offers only WP 4.6 version in automatic instalation and I cannot downgrade to 4.5.3. When I try to open any site on Visual Composer I see text “Loading, please wait..” and nothing happends even if I wait for hours
3. how to change order of displaying items in Portfolio? how there are shown that first is that which I put into WP as last, and it is not desired, as I put first most important for me items, and now they are at the last end 
. Another way : how to sort item to display in Portfolio? Example: here http://www.wolenurkowanie.pl/szkolenia/kursy-nurkowe/ I want to have item INTRO as first not last. how to do this?
4. in dummy data there is much less page templates than in demo – it is a pitty because I choose this template based on apriopriate to my needs elements. example of missing template, which I need are bellow: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/a-night-to-remember/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/994/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/lowpoly-social/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shop/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog/blog-standard-no-sidebar/ http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/blog-masonry-fullwidth/
could you help me in some way in this issues?
regards, mark
and one more detail? what to do to make “Recent projects” autorotate? (like in slider one by one or by all visible on site). which means that instead of push > or < icon to show other recent projects how to make it automatically? what and where I have to add to site code?
Hey maniela,
1/2/4. In order to use Salient with WordPress 4.6 you have to use the latest Salient version (7.5.02) and the latest Salient Visual Composer version (4.12), older versions before those will have issues.
3. You can use this plugin in regards https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
5. This would require js modding to the init.js file located in the js folder. Inside there head to the standardCarouselInit function and change this
auto : {
play: $autoplayBool
}
to this
auto : {
play: true
}
Cheers
Hello,
according to your hint I updated theme to version downloaded from this link https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/853806/ and..my page is full of bug code – http://www.wolenurkowanie.pl/ : code lines with mistakes are visible on web site, on all Portfolio sites (i.e. here http://www.wolenurkowanie.pl/portfolio/kurs-nurkowanie-glebokie-deep-diver/#t2 ) upper half of page is not visible when I click througth blue labels .
Additionally in downloaded zip there is no Salient Visual Composer files, co I wasnt able to instal it. From where I can download it or where is correct version of the most updated theme files?
so to sum up: updating didn’t help to solve my problem, but add new problems and broke what I prepared on site till now
Can I expect prompth help in this matter, please?
regards, mark
I found instal CV instal version, but still some bugs left, i.e. there is no “search” icon on home page
Hey,
I can’t see this issues you’ve listing occurring on the URL you’ve shared, have you tried to clear your cache since updating?
solved. thanks
Cheers
I’m using the Standard Blog layout, and would like to have my text width constrained to 60% of the post, but allow my images to be full width of the post. Is that possible?
Hey LemhiRG,
Could you kindly share your URL in regards? Also, are you referring to the main blog page as well as the single post page or just the single post page?
Cheers
Hi there: just the single post page. My URL is www.pgrin.com. I’d like to keep the images as wide as they are now, but have the text block only be maybe 60% width. I find this width of text block to be too hard to read on full monitors.
Hey, you could set a max width on the paragraph tags with css, but since your images are also in paragraph tags you’d need to remove them to make this work
Hello, I must be tired but can’t understand why. Can you tell me why the images of portfolio are getting cut http://webdesignterminal.com/? I have tried all the possible option combinations. It looks like the image is cut already in the source image the html is loading, but I have set a big enough image in the Wordpress Settings > Media.
Hey salvellani,
By default the masonry size for regular images is 500×500 and the bug&tall size is 1000×1000. If you’re trying to get your images to display in their original size without cropping, you’ll need to supply a “Custom Thumbnail Image” (available in the project configuration metabox) instead of a featured image
Cheers
