Hello, I’m using the minimal portfolio template with default 12 Masonry Portfolio entries/items, though no matter what I do only 3 items are showing on front home page gspade.com. In my Portfolio area there is the 12 Salient default Portfolio entries. In the VC portfolio settings I’ve set it to display unlimited and tried 12. I even just did a whole install of a new WP and Salient install. Mobile seems perfect, just desktop.
Thanks, Joe G
Hey G,
Are you using an adblock plugin? If so, you’ll need to rename your portfolio category from “adverts” to something else as that’s probably blocking it
Cheers
Thanks heaps!
You’re welcome 
struggling with a z index issue? I’m trying to get the 3 columns And their content to pull up over the top row above it that contains a slider + row seperator. I seem to be able to get the column to rise above like expected, but all the content in it stays in its row below where I want it. See screen: http://prntscr.com/h1nilx
also to note, The row w the 3 columns has a z index of 100 and the row above it with the rev slider has no z index labeled
Hey SiteTonight, try using the “Translate Y” value in the actual parent row instead for this
Cheers
awesome thanks. Can you help me better understand what those do? Or is there documentation or a video? Maybe you can give me some guidance of what I should put in each of those?
Hey, translates work similar to margins expect they won’t interfere with the flow of the rest of the document. The values you’d enter in for them would be the same as what you’d put in for a margin i.e. “100px”, “-10%” etc.
Hi, I’m just wondering why this feature 45.4568652|-73.8616935| Our Location in the maps never works. I get the flashing dot, but never the text?
Hey silverlithomes,
I just copy/pasted that into the Map Marker Locations field within the nectar VC map element and it showed up – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers
” nectar VC map element” what is this? I am using the google map templates available in Salient Visual Composer, is this what you mean?
Yes, so in that case could you reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page?
Cheers
Hi I reached out via your author page and I purchased a new support but I have had no news from you. Can you let me know if you got my email? Can you help me with my problem? Also, I see even in the new version portfolios aren’t working with wpml. Do you know when this will be addressed? Thanks!
Hey, I just located your email and responded in regards
Wow – your latest update is jaw-dropping.
I will be working on a pretty big magazine-site gig in the next couple of months, and wasn’t in love with the other options. This might’ve just made my life a lot easier.
Had a couple questions:
1.) Are you able to open that amazing off-canvas section using a menu button (ie. Download Ebook) as opposed to using the burger icon?
2.) Anywhere I can see an updated list of all Single Post Examples?
3.) Do you offer custom development work at all, if we were to have a feature request?
Thanks!
Ooh, one more.
4.) Is it possible to put rich content in the mega menu? Like under “News” here (http://boo.themerella.com/) or “Lifestyle” here (https://mnkythemes.com/mag/)?
Thanks again.
Thanks sunnyt7!
1. As of now only the actual off canvas button can trigger it
2. The new demos show off all that’s been added to the single post layouts – the biggest additions were the related posts, next/previous post buttons (there’s multiple styles for each)
3. I don’t personally do freelance work but you am always open to feature requests
4. Unfortunately not as of now, the current mega menu structures can be seen here though http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/mega-menu/:
Cheers
nevermind
Glad you found what you were looking for
Hi Guys, I am attempting to make all of the blogposts the same. We like the Large Featured Post style which appears sporadically throughout the masonry style. (A Square box with the title of the post on the left and the image to the right.) Is it possible to apply this style to all blogposts? Many thanks in advance for any assistance your may give us. Jenny
Hey Jenny!
You can manually select that style for every post if desired in the post settings, however a new standard post style has been added called “Featured image left style” in 8.5.0 which is similar and could be applied without any of the hassle to all posts
Cheers
Hi and thank you for such a prompt and accurate response. Just downloaded the latest version. My worry is that we are using a child theme. Do I just simply replace the older Salient.zip with the newer one? Will this effect our amends we have made in the live child theme? Thank you again! Jen
Update: We tried using first the EnvatoMarket plugin to update, this did not provide an update option on the theme. Secondly we tried Easy Update Plugin from Wordpress Plugin library and this too did not provide an update option. In fact, trying these options broke the theme. We needed to contact the hosting support to have them correct the theme. The mentioned that it was PHP 7 which caused the conflict. We are now back to Square 1, looking for a way to update the theme without breaking anything! We are using a child theme too if that helps in any way.
Fresh Update: We updated the theme via Filezilla for anyone who might need to do the same. We renamed the old theme to Salient-Old then uploaded the new zip. We unzipped from the cPanel and from there we went into the themes page in Wordpress and deleted the older one.
Hey Jenny, glad you got it updated – i’ll continue with your questions on your more recent comment
Cheers
Hello team, Is this “Shape Divider” a exclusivity from Salient ? I mean, we cant have this addon somewere?
Thx
Hey Popsicle,
The Shape Divider was built exclusively for Salient, as with many of the other options/elements. As of now, it can not be separated from the theme to use with other themes
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
Love the new update, but one issue on my end: it has significantly slowed my site. Compare whiskeyandred.staging.wpengine.com to whiskeyandred.com. It’s not a staging issue, I went live with the changes and saw the slowdown; had to revert the site.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Thanks!
Hey harrisdesigned!
I just checked both your URLs on two machines without any cache and are seeing them load (quite) fast at the same rate. If you are using a CDN and have caching set up, those may have just needed to be rebuilt after updating – are you still experiencing this issue on your end?
Cheers
You are absolutely correct. I made the updated, cleared the CDN cache and it’s running smooth. Thank you very much for your response, sorry about the delay in mine.
Hey, glad to hear you’ve sorted it!
I tried finding this answer in all the comments but couldn’t. Basically, I don’t want my header to shrink when scrolling. I have my logo height and header padding set exactly where I want it, not too big, not too small. But when scrolling it does go too small. Is there some way I can have the header not resize on scroll?
Hey mikelaha,
I know you’ve found the answer you were looking for already – but for anyone else who’s interested, there’s an option for this in the Salient options panel > header navigation > animation effects tab
Cheers
Hi. As I’m sure you know, I love your theme. But one thing that causes me a lot of difficulty is I don’t have consistent control over the header. For example, I can’t get rid of it without code. I can’t move the text on the left for the portfolio. All kinds of stuff like this, how come each post type (not sure if that is the right term) doesn’t offer me full or at least more control over the header?
Hey silverlithomes, I appreciate the request(s), as i’ve mentioned, more header control for the portfolio/blog are indeed on the wishlist
Cheers
Hello, I notice the row video background isn’t working on safari. Any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks!
Hey dacamov,
Are you supplying both an mp4 and a webm for the video file types? If so, could you please share your URL in regards so I can check?
Cheers
The issue I’m having is the video will only load the first time in safari, when I reload the page the video stalls on a still frame. I am using both mp4 and webM.
Hey, please share the URL in regards so I can take a look on my end
Cheers
great job on the new demos and features. My favorite theme keeps getting better! I love the row dividers and the testimonial element too (http://prntscr.com/h1jbem) GJ! For the next update, the only thing I wish salient had was more header options
Thanks so much SiteTonight! Glad you’re enjoying it
Such an nice update!
You think I can make a transition from the “Ascend” theme skin?
Thanks!
Thanks myuption! Yes, all you need to do is change the single option for “Theme Skin” at the top of the general settings tab in the Salient options panel
Cheers
Amazing, thank you 
You’re welcome
Hi Salient. Great update! However, I am unable to switch between Shape Divider on Rows. Saving a different Shape Divider does not seem to work. Perhaps there is a bug, so I hope this helps. Thanks.
Thanks jaroljmek! The issue you’re describing should be resolved if you clear your browser cache
Cheers
Hello! Recently update Salient to its latest version (8.5) First try doing it through Envato Toolkit but it was not possible. Finally I achieve it by FTP, uploading the complete Salient folder in its latest version. Also update VC. The web works fine but when I want to enter any options of Salient (General Settings, Footer, Blog, etc) I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Do you have any idea what is wrong? Greetings.
Hey AnibalVecchio! Could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar The fix for this will be included in tonight’s release, but would love to provide it to you early (the issue should be caused by/isolated to older PHP versions)
Cheers
There could be a bug in the Overflowing Team Members template. In the Page Builder, the first and second team members are the same. As a result, you can’t remove Ava Morgan from the list.
Hey samchad,
Thanks for letting me know
When I´ll update to new version of silent 8.5 all my nectar slider, Home slider, portfolio…etc. are deleted 
I´ha reinstall my website 4 times today… please somebady can help me?
Hey sirfrido1, there’s currently no known issue like that – could you please reach out in regards with your admin credentials so I can see what’s going on? You can use the contact form on my author page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Is it possible to apply the ken burn effect in the posts slider?

Hey, this will be my first ever theme update on an existing and already customized site. I wanted to make sure I update correctly and don’t lose any of my current work. Is there a tutorial or general instruction list you can provide (couldn’t seem to find myself that was specific to Salient) so I can upgrade as flawlessly as possible?
Thanks so much!
Hey colbyrb3! Here are the relevant docs http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
As long as you have not modified the theme file directly, updating is very easy
Hm. I downloaded the Envato Market plugin and generated the token and it all appears successful. Each time I try to update however, the “Update Available” never does anything when clicked. Any ideas?
Also, the details of the update page never brings up anything other than the Theme Nectar logo in a dialog box. No other info.
If it helps, I see this is the log when I try to click the Update button:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined at Object.b.envato.updateTheme (updates.min.js?ver=1.0.0-RC2:1) at HTMLAnchorElement.<anonymous> (updates.min.js?ver=1.0.0-RC2:1) at HTMLDivElement.dispatch (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.2:3) at HTMLDivElement.r.handle (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.2:3)

Hi, i’m using the project slider demo. Since the new theme update, the previous and next project buttons on the bottom of the porftolio page don’t work anymore.
Hey roelst, I can’t replicate this on my end – could you please share your URL in regards where this can be seen?
Cheers
On al my portfolio pages. Here is an example: https://www.qreation.nl/portfolio/snelting-consultants
I’m using at single project page navigation “At Bottom W/ Featured Image”
Hey, could you let me know what’s not working on your end at the moment? It appears to be displaying normally on my end and the links work for navigation https://imgur.com/a/J9TCt
