Just updated to version 8 and reactivated my child theme and now it seems the studio works fine and almost everything works but it also seems the dynamic sidebar (Widgetized Sidebar Element) from the visual composer is gone – which would suck because I have based two client website on this element. Can you let me know if they are gone forever or if there is just a bug?
Hey Nehalem2009, this is a bug that will be fixed in todays minor update release – if you’d like it now just reach out via the contact form on my author page
Cheers
Awesome. I am relieved that the widgetized sidebars are not gone
When will you release the minor update approximately?
And any news on integration of modal boxes?
1. Tonight or tomorrow morning – and I’ve been offering the fix to anyone who needs it immediately. If you would like it please just reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
2. It’s still an item on the wishlist 
Thanks that is nice of you, but it seems as if the version 8 update brought a couple more bugs with it and I can leave the client sites on version 7.6 for now until you released an update that fixes these problems. Looking forward to the update.
Hey, would you mind posting what other bugs you’ve encountered?
No i was referring to the stuff that other users have reported below and on the next pages. It seems that some smaller bugs have slipped into version 8. I am just having the problem with the missing widgetized sidebar element.
Hey, thanks for the clarification 
Any news on the update?
By the way I found some more bugs with 8.0:
1. The progress bars do not work properly. You enter a title and value and save and then when you reload the page nothing happens.
2. The extra class/ID names are not output when assigned to a single image element.
Thanks in advance for looking into them as well. Please let me know if these bugs will be fixed with the 8.1 update as well that deals with the missing widgetized sidebars. Thanks.
Hey,
I can’t replicate either of those new issues you’ve found – could you please share a URL showing them?
I will send a link to a testpage once the website is live which should be tonight or tomorrow.
But I tested on two salient 8.0 installations and both times the same bugs appeared.
But I will send a link once the site is live.
Any news on when the update is going to be released?
Hi. How do I update the theme to 8 without losign any of the customisation?
Managed it. Thanks. 
Hey sandeepnanu, glad you figured it out 
Cheers
Hi, a question about the gallery masonry mode … How can I make it to look like in the demo ? Different heights and widths of thumbnails but for similar size images .
Hey axiomdesigns,
That’s covered in the docs here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/galleries/#imagegrid
Cheers!
Hello. There seems to be some issues regarding the use of .svg files and also some issues when using the child theme. Had to go back to the previous version due to that.
Thanks.
Hey RePeter1975,
Could you please list the issues you’re having with svg files and where you’re using them? Also if you have theme templates files in a child theme, you’d need to update them to reflect the current state of the parent styles
Hey there. I will check that again. I am very sure I updated the child theme as well. Let me see… Anyway, the SVG files became very small suddenly and the SVG Logo in the header disappeared. I will look into it again. Thank you.
Ok… either the svg in the pages get really tiny with the child theme or the header logo disappears with the regular theme. That’s pretty weird, no?
You have a suggestion for another SVG plugin, besides SVG Support, wich usually works flawless? Thank you.
And I also will buy another license tomorrow, since overall your theme is quite the best I worked with. Thank you for the good work and the updates. Usually everything works totally fine.
Hey, if you could kindly share your URL where the issue occurs I would be glad to assist 
Here you go.. Child Theme active… Header Logo missing… All updated… Theme, Child Theme, VC Plugin
http://byk6lh.myraidbox.de/Hey, I just checked that URL on two different machines and can see the logo on both – have you tried clearing all your caches?
Oh my gosh…. The cache. Seems it’s more tricky with this raidboxes hosting. I am really sorry for wasting your time with this. Keep up the great work.
No worries!
Cheers
Mind blowing update, seriously impressive and professional work. RIP all other themes.
Thanks so much velocity_uk, just trying to make life easier for you guys! 
Is it possible to translate the text in the sections in the Salient Studio ?
Hey OnlineThemes, yes – they should be included in the .po file – are they not showing up for you?
bbPress? Buddy Press? Compatible?
Hey JeffreySummers, there’s basic integration and styling for those
Cheers
Hi, just installed the 8.0 update but the Salient Studio doesn’t seem to work 100% (see image)? http://i.imgur.com/okppqwh.png
Thanks,
Hey Abbebabbe, you just need to update your version of the Salient VC to 5.0.1 
Thanks! You guys are the best.
You’re welcome 
Hey,
great update to 8.0. I’ve installed. On my site it works, but the wp-admin page doesn’t work anymore with the salient VC. If I remove it from the plugin dir, it works again.
https://www.codework.nl/wp-admin/Any ideas to fix?
Thanks
Hey lvdwiele,
Could you please reach out via the contact form on my author page with your admin credentials so I can take a look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Hey, sent the credentials via the form. I disabled the plugin via changing the dir plugin name. If you enable it, it will crash.
Louis
Thanks Louis, could you kindly check the error logs for any fatal errors and let me know what they are in the email as well?
There are no errors in the log file 
Problem found, for any strange reason, the ‘salient-studio-templates.php’ file was missing… I installed this theme via uploading the ZIP via themes.
Hey, that is indeed strange – glad you sorted it though 
Is there any changes/update in Widgetised Sidebar? It’s not showing after updating V8.0 https://goo.gl/Lvy4h9
Hey MinistryofVillas, the fix for this is coming in minor update today
Cheers
Thanks…
Hey,
I’m waiting until the end of the day today to push it to also include a couple other minor bug fixes – if you need it now please use the email form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar and I’ll send it to you
Widgetised Sidebar is still missing, Downloaded latest version and tested.
See below screenshot what I am looking for
https://goo.gl/9Je2fkHey, 8.0.1 actually never got release – the current release available is still 8.0. I’ve been handing out the beta which includes the widgetized sidebar element to anyone who needs it now though via the support forum: https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Does it ever stop getting better? Srlsy! x
Glad you’re enjoying it ladydekade 
Cheers!
One more issue, how come my templates do not display as they should?
http://imgur.com/a/Mo2BGHey, you need to update your version of Salient VC
Cheers
I am using Version 4.12. Isnt this the newest? I dont see any updates to it.
OH i see there is a newer version to it. But shouldnt this have been updated during the theme update?
The plugin and theme are two separate things, TF prohibits building plugins to be built into the theme
Just saw your notes in the Visual Composer Update Info.txt about the bug in VC. Thanks
Glad to hear 
Is there a way to set a Full Width Background image that maintains the height of the actual image? For example, if my image height is 500, how do I do this? As for now, it stretches the image to full screen height.
Please disregard my last question. The upgrade solved my dilemma.
Hey arteest, glad to hear 
Cheers
Is there any custom CSS to allow me to lock in the background image height? My workaround was to create a large image with white at the bottom. How can I do this without bloating the image size?
Could you kindly share the page URL in regards so I can see the current setup?
Yes. Here is the page. It’s just a raw setup at the moment so overlook the mess. Thank you. http://bit.ly/2m4VOBB
Every time. Every time I think “its time to refresh my theme and try something else” you do something to keep me around. And you’ve done it again. Version 8 blows my mind. Salient Studio? Brilliant. I’ve been planning a complete overhaul of my site: what would have taken me over a month is only going to take me about a week. Awesome stuff.
Thanks so much for the kind words Big_mark! My main focus was to make life easier for you guys – glad to hear you’re enjoying it 
Cheers!
HI,
I was wondering… did you change anything in the search.php file after the v8 update?
Because I had a code with was fixing salient soft 404 errors on Google.
And I was using this code. http://imgur.com/a/qr8N7 from line 3 to 9. But after the update to v8 that code stopped working, the header still returns 200ok which is going to return a soft 404 error in google again. Before the update to v8 and with that code in the search.php file the header was returning hard 404 which was correct.
Thank you
Hey seseskiz, the search.php file was unchanged in 8.0 – but as mentioned previously the way WordPress handles the search response when no results are found is not something specific to Salient but rather thee WP core
That code fixed all the soft 404s but after the update i thought you might have changed something… but anyways, i’ll see what i can do, and i take ur point on WP core. thanks
You’re welcome 
Hi.
Is there a way (js i guess) to cancel fade out transition between pages only for tel: anchor links ??
Some function like the one in page transition theme options, but only for tel: links.
Thanks.
Hey saretdm,
As of now this would require some custom modding to the init.js file, but i’ve noted the idea for the wishlist
Cheers
What is Silent Studio? And it is turned on?
found) it’s just wonderful!
add the updated news template example: https://themeforest.net/item/coolist-urban-magazine-wordpress-theme/17488702
Thank you for your work! 
Hey Nicko_217,
Glad to hear you’ve found it! Additional docs are being added shortly on it as well
Cheers
In the top bar, which I think this theme calls the secondary menu, it seems like the only thing you can put there is social icons. Is there a way to put in phone number with a link? That’s really important in mobile mode. Thanks.
Hey vichardy,
You can also assign a menu to the location in appearance > menus which could contain a phone number set from a custom link if desired
Cheers
hello,
I purchased salient on another envato account, (jisraeli@infographicsinc.com). I forgot my password for this account on envato so I am not able to download the salient update. The email I used is no longer in service, so I can’t reset the password. Is there anyway to retrieve my password for the envato account to download the update?
thanks,
Jonathan
