Hi there on my website I had the following code setup in a text box:
[vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”footer-area-2”]
And it was pulling in the content from a footer “sidebar” into a text section (listing 5 latest blog posts). I updated to latest Salient last Friday, and latest VC today and now it’s just showing the code not the list of latest blog posts.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Also, the Text with Icon images are suddenly showing really big (like original upload size) instead of a small icon size like they used to. I have temporarily fixed this using Custom CSS code box, but it relates to the CSS I think: .iwithtext .iwt-icon img
Thanks!
Hey aqualily,
Both of these fixes will be in 8.0.1 – which will be out very shortly 
Cheers
Hi. I’ve got a problem – I need latvian characters in page title but they look like this – https://s7.postimg.org/be2af3023/fonts.png
I’ve set every available option under fonts to have latin-ext subset but no luck. Also I cleared cache to make sure it doesn’t interfere. How can I solve this?
Never mind, I solved it myself.
Hey theme-expert, glad to hear 
Cheers

Hey xmalik2,
This is covered in the documentation http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/header-button-links/
Cheers
Any news on when the update for 8.0 will be released that fixes the missing widgetized sidebars?
Most likely tomorrow – just waited a little longer to include any additional bugs that users reported for the initial release
Hi guys,
I’ve amended the meta under portfolio a little bit – how would i go about having all of the text and image a link to the associated project instead of the small “more details” button. http://www.eliteticket.co.uk/
Hey elitemediaagency,
This would require some custom modding to the file, if you extend the more details button to cover the whole item the black would come with it – you could change the opacity of that though
Cheers

I uploaded the latest Salient and the visual composer doesn’t work and this also happened before I updated to the latest theme. This is odd. Here is what it states now: There is a new version of Salient Visual Composer available. View version 5.0.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. Download new version from CodeCanyon.
I fixed it somehow.
Hey, glad to hear you sorted it 
Salient 8 is failing to install on WP 4.7.3 for me. It just asks are you sure want to do this and tells me it fails
Hey adamjleonard, could you please open a ticket in regards

Who do you recommend and use as a host?
Hey heist6actual, I don’t have a specific one to recommend since Salient doesn’t have any high server requirements – who are you currently using?
Hello,
I have a few issues with the theme that I need resolved.
1) I would like to add a symbol (USD, CAD..) beside the price so customers know what currency we are using. How do implement this?
2) When I add items to my cart, and click on “view cart”, It takes me to a page that says, “your cart is currently empty”. mobile version seems to be working fine with pc version having issues.
3) When at checkout page: when you are choosing wether to pay with “paypal” or “credit card payment” The emblem/icon for “credit card payment” does not show up properly. (however, the paypal icon shows up fine)
My url is varanno.com currently using version 7.5.02 of salient Please get back to me asap.
Thanks.
Hey sandman101,
1. This would require a mod to WooCommerce as it isn’t something specific to Salient
2. I’m currently able to correctly access the cart page with what was supposed to be in my cart on a desktop, what browser are you seeing this occur on?
3. It says that this image is being loaded over non https so therefore it’s blocked: http://www.varanno.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-12.02.15-PM.png have you added it custom?
Cheers
Thanks for the reply.
1) How could I do a mod that would allow me to do this?
2) safari (it seems to be working fine now)
3) No, it is not a custom photo. (the screenshot you sent is the footer image that I uploaded manually, not the one I am referring to.
Hello,
I am still awaiting your reply.
Hey,
1. I don’t have a specific resource to point to you, I would check on the WooCommerce forums as this is a mod to the plugin rather than the theme you’re using
2. Glad to hear!
3. Taking a further look into the img, it actually appears to be this https://www.varanno.com/wp-content/plugins/beanstream-for-woocommerce/assets/images/credits.png which is coming from a third party plugin and your server is showing 404 – I would reach out to eh plugin dev for clarification
Cheers

Hey, glad to hear! Let me know if anything else arises

Hello nice theme man! Very happy with the new version. I just have one question… When I put an external URL in a portfolio post, how can I add rel=”nofollow” in the liink? I edit shortcode-processing.php file but nothing happens
Thanks debelop!
Could you share your portfolio URL so I can check out your current setup to see why that would be the case?
Cheers
First work is an external URL http://estelarweb.com/proyectos/
Thanks! On line 2686 of nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php file alter:
if(!empty($custom_project_link)) echo '<a href="'.$the_project_link.'"></a>';
Hello, i wanted to know if its possible to make nectar_fullscreen_rows not a box, but a full height div, except for the header, something like this:
thanks!
Hey paulinavargasin,
If you turn your transparency off for the header, the header will display with the background color as in your image. Also, if you would like a border around the whole site you can turn on the option for “Body Border (Passepartout)” in the Salient options panel > general settings tab
Cheers
In your shortcode-processing.php, $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src($bg_image_id, ‘full’); is defined. It would be nicer if the image size would not be full, but somewhat smaller. I am trying to set up a site with multiple sliders on, but that renders the page very slowly.
Hey abteilung,
Thanks for the request – are you referring to the recent posts slider?
Cheers
Hello, I am trying to make changes to my pages built with visual composer but when I open the page the visual composer tab does not show anything. What can I do to fix this? My website is http://printshop.com.pa Thank you
Hey optimized,
If you’ve already ruled out third party plugins and you’re on the current version of Salient (8.0) & the Salient VC (5.0.1) please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
Hi, Is Salient VC (5.0.1) the standard VC or is it special one for Salient. If it is a special one, I cannot see the plugin file in the download ? Thanks
The Salient VC is a theme specific version of VC, you can install it from appearance > install plugins (make sure you deactivate another versions you may have on first) – if you don’t see that option please open a ticket in regards https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Theme updated to version 8.0
I’m having trouble with the slide-out navigation. The “close” option for the mobile menu (thx). Also, when you have a secondary menu in the header, the Hamburger menu is not aligned properly. You can see the mobile issues in your own preview of the Product demo, it doesn’t work. Also, with the secondary menu in the header, the spacing throws everything off in Mobile display. When using the Parallax effect for full screen columns (see your Product demo) the next column doesn’t get triggered because of the added height from the secondary menu.
Here’s what I’m looking for help with…
• Fix Mobile menu when Secondary Menu is active • Fix the Mobile menu when you select a link or try to close the menu (doesn’t close) • Provide a solution for the secondary menu when in Mobile (add the secondary menu items to slide-out menu when in Mobile and hide header or something similar)
Also, I purchased the “support” for $35 to try to get these issues resolved and no response other than “possibly this will be fixed in the update” which it wasn’t. Not too stoked on the support with this theme, which is unfortunate because this theme has some really nice features.
Hey jmairs,
Please share the actual ticket ID you have open so I can check on this further for you 
Cheers
Ticket ID: 1068230
I have my issues taken care of thanks to you on the Support site and if I have any other issues I’ll let you know. Thanks for the Help, that was great customer service and support!
Hey, glad to hear! Thank you as well for reporting the issues you faced so we could fix them within the theme 
Hi there,
Since the update my header box shadow isn’t working… How can I fix this?
This is the site: https://www.trafficbox.co.il
Hey KarenZack, if you’re using a child theme with the header.php file in it, you’ll need to update it to reflect the current version of 8.0
I did update it. It still not working..
Sorry about that, I just re-updated the header and now it’s working! Thanks!
You’re welcome 
Loving Salient 8. Thanks for the update. Quick question about the ‘Video Lightbox’ play button animation – is there a way to get the ‘attention’ directing ‘pulsing’, on the play button, on a standard button?
https://redesign.misgoodbuildsite.info/home-redesign/Hey misgood, glad to hear!
As of now that wouldn’t be possible without custom modding, however you just use the new style without any inline text to end up with just a play button
Cheers
If I have the centered menu with the 3 lines on the right that navigates the offcanvas menu – how can I have the word MENU left of the three lines?
Hey Nehalem2009,
That would require custom development at this time, but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist 
Ok then I will code it myself for now. Thanks for the feedback.
You’re welcome
