Just installed the latest 7.6 version of the theme, but the VC which came with it, is an old version (4.12.1). This might be the reason, why i cant update lots of elements. The green edit button on those elements doesnt show the edit icon.
solved: The new functions had to be activated in the vc options.
Hey panographer_de, glad to hear you’ve sorted it

How can I change all tooltip circles color to one color for both dark and light versions?
Hey RatioCreative,
Which tooltip style are you using? The tooltip alt style displays the same on both http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-service/

Just noticed that some of the modules do not output the extra class name in the source code. The divider with text is an example of that.
Hey Nehalem2009,
thanks for letting me know – if you have a list of them besides that please let me know
Cheers
You’re welcome. If I find anything else I let you know. One thing that I wanted to ask though is what is the best way to update to the latest version of salient when using the child theme?
Hey, it depends on what you’re modifying in your child theme – what files do you currently have in there?
So far I have just activated the child theme and I have not copied any other files (for modification) over from the parent theme.
Then you can update as normal with no additional work http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/

video background on ipad
Hey Lipj0618,
Mobile devices do not allow autoplaying of videos for data usage reasons. Because the video background option is not meant to be used for information videos (with sound) and rather for videos that serve as a design element (no sound), the video background will be replaced with the preview image you supply.
Cheers
hi, i updated to version 7.6 but the site no longer displays correctly. is there any way to get a previous version of the theme?
Hey andromeda, if you’ve already troubleshooted this as the guide explains http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#troubleshooting please share your URL so I can see what’s going on 
mostly having issues in chrome it seems – you can check here https://goo.gl/r8kiuR or here https://goo.gl/CG92oS
I managed to fix the issue – I had to re-import the demo because it lost all styles.
Hey,
Glad to hear you’ve sorted it
Cheers
I apologize if this has already been reported, but there seems to be an issue with the new icon element in visual composer.
Both an anchor tag and the i tag are contained within the nectar_icon div (I’m sure this was deliberate development decision) and as a result, when you add a link to the anchor tag, the icon itself isn’t clickable, but instead the space around it.
this isn’t so much an issue when using an icon with a border as users will figure it out, but when using just a plain icon, it’s difficult to understand that the actual icon is clickable.
Hey kcholme 
In order to quickly fix this – add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
.nectar_icon_wrap a {
z-index: 100;
}
Love your theme. Any chance of ever implementing split scrolling such as like this? http://uber.tommusdemos.wpengine.com/promo-split-scroll/
Hey qwik3r, i’ve noted your +1 for the idea 
Thanks!
You’re welcome 
What is the woocommerce account page styling?
Hey Shenjai, the last update updated the styling for the my account page within WooCommerce setups in Salient. The tabbed interface received icons and a UI structure, previously it was showing as just a browser standard unordered list
Hi how do I add images to the corner of rows like you have done in the app theme? When I add it to the background top right corner for example it covers the whole background and not just the top right.
Thanks!
Hey PJSGroup!
the background image is made with the image offset in that demo http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-app/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/letssee.jpg
Cheers
wow this theme keeps getting better! i noticed there’s a slight background coloration bug at the slide-in sidebar menu. you can see it at the ECOMMERCE demo, open the slide-in sidebar and notice there’s two hues of color in the widget box. upon scrolling the color will jump between the full color and box color. just thought you might want to fix that. 
my bad. i was using dual monitor earlier. might be my mac or the browser. slide-in menus seems fine.
Hey monoselecta, let me know if it occurs for you again so I can take a further look 
I’m having a problem with project categories. I can add them but none of the categories show up under the sort menu on the top right of the page even though there is portfolio items within that category. It seems once you delete the categories included in the theme, you can’t see any of the portfolio items because you can’t add categories. Can you help me with this? Thanks.
Hey luvtowrite,
Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look, as there’s not a known issue like this https://themenectar.ticksy.com

I have changed the salient slider heading 2 to heading 1 and I think i did it through functions.php if I am not mistaking. and I have also edited the header.php files. Will these be re-written?
If yes, I am guessing the solution is to keep a copy of the modified files on my hard drive. Update the theme with the new ones, then replace the modified files again. What do you suggest?
Hey seseskiz,
If you just replace the current file with the old one it will cause issues since you’ll have outdated files then – you need to update just the section where you made the mods
Cheers
I do not understand what you mean? How do I update just the sections only?
I basically want to update the theme to the new version but I want to be sure that everything I changed stays the same.
That would be:
1. Custom CSS in the salient options 2. header.php 3. functions.php
Would you please provide a step-by-step instructions on how to safely update?
Thank you!
Hey!
The custom css in the Salient options panel will remain intact after updating – the other two files you will need to open up after updating and add your modifications to again
Update 7.6 is not working at all.

Hi awesome update!
In the new business demo there is a animated “scroll down icon” (mouse like) and i was wondering how can (if possible) use that same icon and animation for my full screen rows on the front page?
Thanks JosephNorori!
You can select that option in the Salient options panel > Page header tab 
Cheers
Perfect! I was more asking about the full page rows, i see there is no option (other than tool tips) for anchors or scroll down arrows animated like the header one.
but what i did was at the div from svg and place it wit custom editing on the row.
example:
<svg class=”nectar-scroll-icon” viewBox=”0 0 30 45” enable-background=”new 0 0 30 45”> <path class=”nectar-scroll-icon-path” fill=”none” stroke=”#ffffff” stroke-width=”2” stroke-miterlimit=”10” d=”M15,1.118c12.352,0,13.967,12.88,13.967,12.88v18.76 c0,0-1.514,11.204-13.967,11.204S0.931,32.966,0.931,32.966V14.05C0.931,14.05,2.648,1.118,15,1.118z”></path> </svg>And it work. But i have a suggestion to add this scroll bar to full paged rows. But is a nice touch for header nevertheless. Thank you 
Hey, thanks for the clarification and request 
Logo is not working on many screens please advice how to fix this? see designux(dot)d k.. It works only when I do not have “Use Transparent Header When Applicable?” on.
Can you give me some css to make the solid top bar transparent even though “Use Transparent Header When Applicable? is OFF. ??

No matter what I do I can’t make my portfolio page show images like the page below. I have hard time showing off vertical images, thumbnails get distorted and small if I enable Masonry style. What am I doing wrong??? I really like the new layout of the photography gallery and I would love to have it setup like this. Please help.
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-photography/ http://www.jaskophotography.com/chicago-wedding-photography/Hey ppmapartments, you need to follow the guidelines for the “Masonry Grid Sizing” as explained in the theme options panel & user guide http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/portfolio/
Hi,
I see a new update in my Envato Toolkit, when I click on update automatically it says updating the theme will lose any customization you have made. How do I properly update it without losing anything?
Hey seseskiz,
it’s only referring to if you modifying the core template files, as they were be replaced with the new ones. If you didn’t edit the core files directly then you’ll be fine 
Cheers
Hey, that’s occurring because you have the animated anchor links option on in your Salient options panel > general settings tab. What version were you on previously where this didn’t happen?
I was using 7.5.02 and everything was good. Then I updated to 7.6 and stopped working.
The animated anchor is disabled also
Can you link me the plugin you’re using to create that?
Could you kindly send me a copy of the plugin for testing as it’s not publicly available. Please use the contact form on here: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hi guys, I’m trying to create something different with the portfolio. I’d like to add a div class after each row of 4.
So, I’m using fullwidth, constrain to 4 items options, is there a way I can insert a div class inside the loop for the portfolio after every 4 items? I couldn’t see exactly where I could insert this in shortcode-processing.php.
I know how to do it with a blog loop using a counter:
<?php $counter = 1 ?>
<?php if ($counter % 4 == 0){echo '<div class="white" />';} ?>
etc etc. Could it be done inside the portfolio? Would be a cool feature to make some really custom looking portfolio pages.
Hey Sean,
It would indeed need to go into the shortcode-processing.php file – the function is called “nectar_portfolio_processing” and you can find the loop around line 1313 if you’re on the current version
Cheers
OK cool. Got it working. For reference I added this:
<?php if($counter==2) {
$counter=-1
?><div class="white<?=$fbCut?>" /><?php
$fbCut++;
} $counter++; ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
Right before the closing div of the Portfolio wrap (Line 2296 on salient 7.6).
Thank you!
Hey, glad to hear 
Please update change log for version 7.6
Hey timkeeley, it was uploaded a few hours ago – please try clearing your cache if you’re not seeing 7.6 on there
