Hey Gary,
Are you using the most up to date version of the Salient VC? (4.12.1)
Cheers
yes using the latest version of that plugin and your theme?

Hey Gary, I just found the email – I will take a look shortly and write to you in regards
Hi, We have been having issues with adding certain plugins with the theme. We have installed and are currently using Essential Grid – premium grid plugin with custom code added and its giving issues with. Some of the pages does not enable you to scroll down (cutting off the second row – see link and scroll down to the peoples faces) http://communicare.wpsaworkshop.co.za/people/
Let me know if you can issist in resolving this
Hey,
Are you trying to use the plugin inside of a page that you’ve set to use the page full screen row option?
Cheers
Hi there!
I think we had talked about this several months ago, but did you ever add the ability to swap row items for mobile/tablet? For example, on desktop where a row has 2 columns, a large photo on the left with text content on the right, it currently auto-loads the left column then the right column in the single column format of a mobile device. However, is there a way to get the row to load the right column on top and the left column underneath for mobile devices? (This feature is available in some other visual builders.)
If not, this would be an incredibly useful feature to add as sometimes content that works better for a left column on desktop does not work well when loading above the content of the right column on mobile.
Thank you!
P.S. Is there a CSS way to make it happen if not as a built-in feature?
Hey ccgmodels,
VC still has not built functionality to allow for this – what they do allow for is hiding certain columns on different viewports. So you could create the same content setup, one in each way you want it and show/hide each respective one on the viewport you’d like it
Cheers
Gotcha. That will be more work, but could definitely seem like it will accomplish this. Is there a way to make an entire row visible only on desktop and another one only visible on mobile? Then we could simply duplicate the row, swap right and left columns, and set the new row only for mobile and the original row only for desktop.
Thanks!
Update: I just did it through column Responsive Options and disabled the top row on the top 2 options and the bottom row (where we swapped the left and right columns) on the bottom 2 options.
However, the image we had swapped from left to right for some reason isn’t appearing, but it will appear if we let it load at all screen sizes. Also, it appears that the pixel width is slightly off and it loads the landscape tablet option for a few pixels (from about 1000px to 992px wide) before properly loading the portrait tablet option, so it’s causing the incorrect rows/columns to appear in the wrong adjusted order at those dimensions.
Hey, could you share the URL where the issue occurs?
Hi. Love the theme and ability to use it so effortlessly! Just a quick one.. How do i import the images attached to the app theme? Can’t seem to import it as my folder download didn’t have and XML file. Thanks Nick
??
I dont have an XML file for the app theme. Where do i find it?
Hey,
Have you already imported the demo via the theme options panel > demo imported tab? If so, could you share your URL in regards so I can see what you have installed currently?
Cheers
Hey thanks for getting back the URL is http://splosemedia.com/
Looking forward to hearing back.
Hey, you seem to have most of the demo imported images – please note that the stock images shown on the demos are replaced with placeholders, they can’t be included due to their licenses. The one i’ve noticed is missing in the app screenshot layer on this slide http://splosemedia.com/#keep-track did you delete that?
Have a problems with Blog section in this theme. Trying to do Boxed layout blog.
1-Can’t find how to delete comments section if i don’t want to allow it. 2-How to delete dates and the author ? 3-Why i have spaces between images in boxed layout ? In the theme it isnt like that
Hey eimalitas,
Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look at your current settings to better answer your questions 
Cheers
P.s. Why then i open my page using safari, video is loading about 20 sec. ? And when i am looking from chrome or mozilla everything is working nice and fast ? – link www.vabuolasfilms.com
P.s.s. About blog – i dont need it so far, so this question is closed.
Hey, have you tried to convert your video to a webm through the recommended converter?
I tried now, converted video from .mp4 to .webm as you sayed now. Uploaded it and now tested it with safari one more time, same problem…. Video size is only 11 mb.
What to do ?
thanks for the great theme.
How do i remove the space between the header and the column in a post ?
http://www.villadesarts.xyz/2013/03/23/the-field/thanks
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
html body.single-post[data-bg-header="true"].ascend .container-wrap {
padding-top: 70px!important;
}
Cheers
great thanks,
i guess padding-bottom will adjust the bottom part.
can we also change the bg color of that padding area ?
stef
Hey, the snippet for that would be
html body.single-post[data-bg-header="true"].ascend .container-wrap {
padding-top: 70px!important;
background-color: #000!important;
}
Cheers
I am missing elements within VC that are part of the demos. Known items I cant place or edit include Split Line Heading, Cascading Images, Animated Title. There may be more, these are just what Im seeing from a demo.
I have re-downloaded and installed Salient VC 4.12.1.
What am i missing?
Update: This was related to the Role Manager preferences in VC settings. It seems any new properties that were not in the previously installed version do not carry over. I had to redefine the role to allow “ALL” for the admin.
Hey,
Glad to hear you’ve sorted this. I’ve noted to investigate further as well 
Cheers
How can I get the same menu (sliding in from the right) like on this page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-product/#intro setup on my own site?
Hey Nehalem2009,
In the Salient options panel > header navigation > off canvas navigation tab the style for that is called “Slide Out From Right Hover Triggered”
Cheers
Hi, can you please help me with your fonts. Is it Lovelo? I need Ä, Ö, and Ü and it doesn’t look good (letters are bold). Can you recommend another or free google font for a style? I use ascend. Thanks
Hey,
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat and https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto are both similar when used in the heaviest available weights & set to uppercaseCheers
hi, how can I increase the font size of the contact form labels on this page?
http://markmarsland.com/contact/Thanks
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel
body .container-wrap input[type="text"], body .container-wrap textarea, body .container-wrap input[type="email"], .container-wrap input[type="password"], body .container-wrap input[type="tel"], .container-wrap input[type="url"], .container-wrap input[type="search"], body .container-wrap input[type="date"] {
font-size: 16px!important;
}
Cheers
Please igore
Hey, glad you’ve figured it out 
Hello! I am strongly considering buying your theme. I had a few questions though. I bought the BeTheme a while back, thinking that it would offer a large amount of customization. I was totally wrong, basically what I found out is that BeTheme is for people who want to only drag and drop using their builder. Basically, they offer a visual builder that doesn’t allow you to see or edit the HTML/css that it creates as you’re building the page. I am a designer learning html/css so this is counter intuitive to me. Things like being able to add my own custom parallax effect or image hover effects were almost completely impossible.
I am wondering how extensive the options are for each element in the salient theme? For instance, if I wanted to create my own hover effects or change the html/css of each page is that possible? Or am I pretty much restricted to whatever options exist within each element salient theme offers?
Hey Lwe1389,
Most WordPress themes on this marketplace are going to offer you a visual way to build your pages, and one layer down (switching out of the page builder view) would be to create the page with shortcodes. If you wanted to create pages with actual HTML/CSS you’d probably be better suited checking out the non WP templates https://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=site-templates
Cheers
why isn’t my custom css in the salient options not overriding theme css? is there a way to fix that?
Hey MBT_Designs, please share your URL and also kindly paste an example snippet of css that isn’t working for you so I can take a look 
.ofpb { margin-left: -38px !important; }
.work-info > div > h3 { font-size:22px !important; }
.work-info > div > p { display:none !important; }
.container-wrap > div { margin-top:-36px !important; }
.dhvc-form-checkbox > label { float:none !important; }
top nav ul li a {
color: #23282D; font-size: 16px !important; }
h1 { font-size: 29px !important; }
Like it won’t override if I don’t use !important.
html body .row .col.section-title h1for the h1 on your page http://www.maxwellwealthplanning.com/
I’m a little confused about the demos. I see some features that I can’t figure out how to replicate in visual composer. For instance, in http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-service/ how would you add the gradient to text, link boxes and the photo overlay? Also how do you add the dynamic slides just like on this demo? http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-app/#
Hey rnearhood,
1. There’s an element in the Salient Visual Composer called “Gradient text”. If you don’t have this, you probably just need to update your version of the theme 
2. This is covered in the documentation and a video tutorial also exists http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/#fullscreenrows
Cheers
Hello, is there an option to have a simple landing page without any menu items or footer while I build out the website?
Hey aleblanc0930,
This could be achieved easily with a line of CSS 
Cheers
Hello, Recently bought the theme and really enjoying the result. If it is possible can you please guide me how can I have the regular GRID instead of masonry in the Blog ? I don’t need the irregular effect all I need is all posts contained in one row just like you have portfolio in the AGENCY demo. Regards
OK i got the setting comes from configuration section. Can you please tell where the black color can be changed which comes when ‘meta overlaid’ is selected for masonry style blog?
Hey.
Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .masonry.meta_overlaid .content-inner>a>span.post-featured-img {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Is anyone else experiencing “Fatal error: Out of memory” errors? I have many sites running Salient, all getting errors like this, and speed/performance issues. Nothing has changed. I’ve increased memory both in wp-config.php and php.ini – no luck
Hey ikjosh, that error does indeed mean you’ve run out of available memory allowed for PHP in your setup. Please verify with your hosting company that there is not limit set that would stop the value in the wp-config.php from taking effect
Hi ! I’m making a page with my portfolio. I would like to know the difference between using the portfolio page template and using the portfolio shortcode? Thanks.
Hey!
They can display the same thing – the template existed first before there was page builder integration but isn’t needed unless you don’t feel like configuring it through the page builder/shortcode
Cheers
Hi
Ok thanks but if i do it myself how to get the filter with my project categories ?
Thanks for your answer.
Hey, when adding the portfolio element there’s a checkbox to enable the sortable functionality http://imgur.com/a/JMvfR

Hi, Is it possible to have the sub menu items visible at all times when viewed on a computer (don’t need to click on the main menu item to make them visible) but still maintain their previous roles on mobile (click to open). Thanks!
Hey AkeatsKes,
as of now this would require some custom modding but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist 
Cheers
I’d love the ability to be able to do this and coming from someone who has zero coding experience it seems pretty simple
Thanks in advance!
You’re welcome 
Any updates on this
?
Hello good day! We have Salient on a client today, but we like the theme and we are interested in acquiring more licenses and using it in future projects, However I suggest the native implementation of lightbox PhotoSwipe in the theme Salient We only lack this so that we can use it in numerous projects! Thanks!
Hey marcronic!
Thanks for the request 
Cheers
Hi guys,
How do i change the font on the toggle panels but the minimal version – I’ve already search and tried some of the custom css that you recommended but I think that was for the default toggle panels.
Thanks
Hey 0754ben84,
The minimal toggle inherits the font family from the heading 3 tag
Cheers
It hasn’t done. My font id ‘doctor-soos-bold’ for h3 and the font n the toggle looks like open sans.
Please take a look here: http://www.petcheckers.co.uk/best-pet-insurance-reviews/
Thanks
Hey, it looks like you set that in a custom manner, outside of the theme typography options. If you want to adjust it via css, you’d need to use
body .toggle h3 a {
font-family: 'doctor-soos-bold'!important;
}
Ahh thanks!
Cheers
