Hi there. We’re currently using the awesome Salient theme for a client’s website and stumbled across a small issue with another plugin: for downloads we’re using the WPDM plugin to enable email/mailchimp locks for the downloadable content. However, if we try to use their shortcodes with our blog, the WPDM popover is appearing below the other elements. The WPDM support said that this might be an issue with the theme in general (perhaps the visual composer?). Do you have an idea what could cause this problem and how we could fix it?
Please have a look at this screenshot for a better understanding: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjzl1audmjig32x/blog_download_screenshot.png?dl=0
We can also grant you WP admin access if necessary.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and effort!
Cheers, Jan
Hey,
Please share the URL in regards – it appears to be a simple css issue 
Cheers
Hey,
1) This would be the URL of the Blog page: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/blog/ The Download post is on the top left.
2) What is even more important to us: If we use the WPDM plugin on a single page (what we would like to use for downloads) there seems to be a conflict with the theme as well.
Have a look at this page: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/downloads/
Please have a look at the footer there. You are unable to add any new content – neither in the classical mode nor with the help of the salient visual composer – without having the footer cut off.
Currently I have used a “ ” to simulate a 3 column table in the first row, but only because there was a general conflict with the WPDM shortcodes and the visual composer (see the second row below). Maybe there is a fix so that we could include the shortcodes in the visual composer elements without interfering with the other page elements.
We would also be happy to grant you WP admin access if needed. Just drop us an email in case: jan@sparksupply.de
Thank you very much in advance! We are looking forward to your solution
Cheers, Jan
Oh, and sorry that is becomes a little bit messy now, but I just stumbled across a really minor 3.) issue on the website. If you go on the Blog page for example (see top comment) and look at the footer, the text in the “Kontakt” button should change to white on hover and not blue like the other footer elements. I tried to style it in the custom CSS section but it appears that the footer elements already have an !important hover effect so I’m not sure how to do it.
Again, thank you very much in advance! We are looking forward to your answers to our 3 issues
Cheers, Jan
Hey!
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.masonry-blog-item:hover {
z-index: 10000!important;
}
2. Currently on that url i’m only seeing the same z-index issue with the download box – could you provide a screenshot of what you’re referring to? Also as for the z-index issue add this into the custom css box as well
.wpb_row > .span_12, .col {
z-index: auto!important;
}
3.
#footer-outer a.smallButton:hover {
color: #FFF!important;
}
Cheers
Thank you very much for your answers! It helped us a lot.
Only one small issue remaining: Do you know why the screen scrolls up when you click on “Download” on one of the boxes? Would be great if we could disable the scrolling. Have a look here: http://picavi-wp.aix-cloud.de/download-example/
Cheers!
Hey,
try turning off the options for “One Page Scroll Support (Animated Anchor Links)” in the salient options panel > general settings > functionality tab
Cheers
Hi,
unfortunately we’re using the animated anchor links so just disabling it doesn’t work for us. Do you any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Hey again – If you’re needing to keep the animated anchors script on, fixing this would require some modding to the animated anchors function to exclude that selector as an exception in the init.js file
Okay, so could you give us some advice what exactly to do where? That would be awesome! Thank you.
Hey,
there’s a large selector in the init.js file that has all the excludes, http://pastebin.com/Ps5meLHB you’d need to add a new one in there that includes a selected targeted at your plugin link
Cheers
I am also having the same issue as many other users. The Salient Visual Composer is requiring an update, however the only option the WordPress Plugin updater is giving me is to purchase version 4.12 from CodeCanyon for $34. I believe this was an included plugin with the purchase of this theme. I updated to the latest theme version, but am stuck at version 4.9.2 for the Visual Composer. Could you please address this issue we are all having? Thanks!
Hey!
If you’re upgrading from Salient VC 4.9.2, you’ll need to delete the plugin from your plugins section in the WordPress admin panel before installing the current version (4.11.2) in Appearance > Install Plugins – This is necessary due to a bug in the Salient VC 4.9.2 which prevents regular updating.
Cheers
At some point I was able to add portfolio projects categories to my main menu, I needed to add an extra one and now I cannot find a way to add a new project portfolio category to a sub-nav item. I did it last year but now I can’t remember how. Anyone doing this by chance?
Hey,
in appearance > menus use the screen options pulldown at the top right of the screen to enable the portfolio post to display in your links section
Cheers
Hello,
I’m trying to create fullscreen portfolio page similar to:
http://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4363266or
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio/geowolf-social/I’d like to achieve that without creating a new Nectar Slider, is this possible? I created Image Gallery with the type set to “Nectar Slider Style”, but I can’t achieve the gallery to reach bottom of the screen like on the example images.
Maybe is there any class I could attach to the row, or gallery itself which would inherit the full screen height (excluding the title like on the example pages).
Thanks a lot!
Hey!
Unfortunately in the project single page the only way to have a fullscreen header like that is to use a Nectar Slider at this time – it’s on the wishlist though to allow that post type to use a fullscreen header like pages
Cheers
Hi there,
I’m writing here because your official support site never replied to two opened tickets, and I thought this place may be more effective.
I’m finishing building my site pushukdev.com and when running some tests Gtmetrix shows two High Priority issue which I would need to address:
1. Specify image dimensions F(9)
The following image(s) are missing width and/or height attributes.
/push-header-dark-logo.png (Dimensions: 106×26) (3 uses)
/push-header-dark-logo@2x.png (Dimensions: 212×52) (3 uses)
/push-header-logo.png (Dimensions: 106×26) (6 uses)
/push-header-logo@2x.png (Dimensions: 212×52) (6 uses)
I don’t understand this. Since I have a permanent transparent header througout, only one logo / one use should load. (retina or no retina version, depending on device). Anyway I would need some help to address the “Specify image dimensions” High priority issue, please.
2. Remove query strings from static resources F(22)
Resources with a ”?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:
/js_composer_salient/assets/css/js_composer.min.css?ver=4.11.2
/js_composer_salient/assets/js/dist/js_composer_front.min.js?ver=4.11.2

/init.js?ver=7.0.9
/magnific.js?ver=7.0.1
/midnight.js?ver=1.0
/modernizr.js?ver=2.6.2

/jquery.js?ver=1.12.3
/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.5.2
/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=4.5.2
Also, I have a very low server response time, which I’m trying to address now. Hope the above helps.
Other than that the Pagespeed and Yslow score I’m getting is really good

Hey,
1. I’ve noted to add the dimensions on the logo file for the next update – for now it would require modding to the functions.php file at the nectar_logo_output function
2. WordPress automatically adds version numbers for theme css/js files it’s not specific to Salient – however there are ways to remove them: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/132282/removing-wordpress-version-number-from-included-files

Hello friends. Buy this thema long time and would like to make a change in images. I’m looking for if they have a page on which all basic elements such as typography, toogles, look etc. They could indicate it. Thank you.
Hey,
I’m slightly confused as to what you’re requesting – are you asking if there’s a demo page that shows all elements individually?
Cheers
I’m looking at the demos a way to make an image gallery. But I just want to open the images with zoom. I not want to do a portfolio. I want to get many images and at least has 6 columns. What I see are 4 columns and then on large screens very large images would be. If I had an orientation would appreciate. Thanks
+1 for a randomized nectar slider
If there’s a mod that needs to be done, I’m happy to pay for it. If this makes it off the wishlist and into the next version, let me know.
Thanks!
Hello. I have a question.
I have some images set up with the single image element.
I have the “Link to Larger Image” selected but the lightbox is kind of small and the pic is a lot bigger than what its portraying. Is there anyway to make the lightbox show the image in its full size or just a lot bigger?
Hey!
Could you share your URL in regards where these are being used so I can see the setup?
Cheers
Hello, I am having the same issue as this user:
Hey I’m having trouble with the Visual Composer. Page Builder mode is no longer showing any content (rows, columns, modules, etc) even though I can see content exists when I go to Classic Mode.
If it helps, Wordpress forced me to update the database before logging in. Could that have caused the issue?
I have Wordpress 4.5.2. and the latest Salient and Salient Visual Composer 4.11.2. I have still problems with content on homepage only, the rest of the pages work normally.
Any idea? Thanks!
Hey,
If you’ve also verified that no third party plugins are causing the issue please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com and let me know the ticket ID here once you’ve done so
Cheers
Hi Guys, is it possible to remove the overlay text completely on a portfolio items?
I’ve created a gallery using the portfolio but I don’t want any text over the images:
http://www.mickyyule.com/gallery/How do I get rid of it at page level?
Thanks
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.portfolio-items .col .work-info .vert-center {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
re order what portfolio items display on the homepage… is this possible? I use a combination of wide, tall, and regular featured images. unfortunately as soon as i add anything to my portfolio, my grid falls out of place. (if i have 5 images displaying only, and they all fit perfect. Then i add an item that does not conform to my grid sizes… (instead of wide and tall, its just wide).. therefore it pushes the wide and tall out of the way but leaves a gap of two regular images.
So is there a way to have the featured images fixed?
Hey,
You can use this plugin in regards: https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/

Hello. Can i ask where you got the mockup in this image from? The laptop

Hi I’ve just updated the theme to 7.0.9 and I’m seeing the Lovelo font at line not black (using Safari 9.1.1). Site is gondwanaguides.com.au
Hey,
I’m currently not seeing that on my end on 9.1 – are you also seeing it on the demo?
Cheers
It’s appearing correctly for me too now – maybe a caching issue after I updated the theme.
Hey,
Glad to hear
Cheers
Hello. How i cant upgrade without change all my custome work ? (font size, colors …ect..) ?

Hey,
As long as you haven’t modified core files all of your settings will persist from the theme options panel
Cheers
Hi, I am trying to add a toggle. And when I click on it, it links to the Salient homepage?? Is this something that has happened since the update? There isn’t even a space for a link, or anything in the code. Please help me out, I’m confused.

Hey,
Just took a look
Cheers
please check ticket… #806288
Did you you once believed the problem or even viewed in the backend?
Hey, I just responded again in regards – thanks for your patience
Before I buy… Does it have language pack to pt_br?
Hey, that’s not included but the theme is able to be translated into any language via the .po
Cheers
It is possible to Sort Portfolio post by name alphabetically? Right now it seems to be sort via its creation date only.
Hey,
As of now this would require some custom development to the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory
Cheers
