After update to version 9 i have problem with child theme. I have error: “The parent theme is missing. Please install your parent theme”.
Hey lswieciak, errors like that usually occur if the theme was incorrectly uploaded to create a directory structure of wp-content/themes/salient/salient instead of just wp-content/themes/salient/ – can you check on your setup via FTP to verify that’s not the case?
Wow, that was it. Thanks!
You’re welcome lswieciak 
Based on this demo, http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-agency/ , for header navigation, is there a way to swap the position of the logo and the 3 lines mobile icon? Meaning I want the logo to be on right side while the 3 lines on left side.
Hey effective_advisory,
It would require some custom modding if you’re not using an RTL language – could you share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Thanks
This is the staging site. Nevermind, I managed to make it on far left side.
Hey effective_advisory, i’m glad to hear you figured it out 
Hi Nectar, I have few issues since updating.
1. There is some white glitch that appears on the left side when the page loads. There is also a block of gray space that appears above the Nectar slider. http://rollingspoke.com
2. The search button and functionality on the sidebar is a mess http://rollingspoke.com/blog/
3. The masonry gallery is misaligned, even though I’m following the image dimensions as required. I submitted a ticket for this a while back and the devs couldn’t provide a fix, and said it would be corrected in the next update which didn’t happen. http://rollingspoke.com/gallery/
4. Contact page missing background image and I can’t see the text field boxes.
Hey RollingSpoke,
1. That section is coming from the page header metabox – it appears you have a background color set. Try removing the background color value from the box. Previously parallax nectar sliders would remove the page header, now that’s no longer the case which would explain why it just showed up
For items 2 and 4: have you cleared your browser cache since updating? Currently both of those sections are visible without error on my end
In regards to 3 – the only way to have a masonry grid be perfectly aligned is to use the featured image upload rather than the custom thumbnail. You also don’t need to upload exact dimensions when using the featured image, they will be automatically cut/cropped as long as you provide sizes larger than the minimum required. e.g. an image uploaded at 1800×1200 could be used for any of the masonry sizes as Salient automatically pre cuts 1000×1000, 500×500 etc.
Cheers
1. I cleared all the color values from the page header metabox and I still have issue of chunk of space appearing over the Nectar slider.
2. Fixed. (cleared cache)
3. Thanks, I’ll follow your instructions when I revise the page.
4. Fixed. (cleared cache)
Hey RollingSpoke, kindly take one more look through the page header settings for any values set e.g. the height, any extra spaces that might have been entered into the title/subtitle etc. If you can’t find anything, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with admin credentials so I can take a closer look at the page from the backend https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
The space above the Nectar Slider is now gone. Though there is still a white glitch that appears on the left side before the slider loads.
To solve the space issue, all I did was update the page while going through each Background Type in the Page Header Settings. However, I didn’t see any values for spacing and didn’t change anything, just a page update.
I submitted a ticket for another issue that has admin credentials. Ticket ID #1694462
Thanks for letting me know RollingSpoke, I’ll take a look at the ticket shortly
Love the ‘What’s New’ section in your demo – great presentation and congrats on the fantastic update
Thanks so much ND81 
Question, why after the update does it completely kill the look of my site, even down to Google fonts.
Before: https://i.imgur.com/8NTdhqj.jpg After: https://i.imgur.com/0zrKwKO.jpg
Well not copying over a blank dynamic-combined.css sorta helped with Fonts but the dividers still look funny and box (not full width)
Hi there, is it possible to change the theme menu name in de backend of Wordpress? Now the name is Salient, but can I change this to theme menu or hoofdmenu?
Great update btw!
Other question. Where can i change the height logo ‘after scroll’? Can not find it in the menu after the update. I could adjust it in the previous version, what i can remember.
Thanks ruimdenker 
1. That would require modding the file nectar/redux-framework/options-config.php at the section:
'menu_title' => __( 'Salient', 'redux-framework-demo' ), 'page_title' => __( 'Salient Options', 'redux-framework-demo' ),
2. What header layout are you currently using & do you have the Header Resize On Scroll effect active in the Header navigation > Animation effects tab?
Cheers
Hi Guys. Just reading the changelog for 9.0 and have one question.
‘Changed “Enable Fancy Select/Radio/Checkbox Styling” to just “Enable Fancy Select Styling” – unfortunately the checkbox/radio aspect conflicted with too many third party form solutions’
How is the fancy select styling used? Would I need to create a select field and insert as raw HTML or will this setting be applied to all select fields, including those of a 3rd party plugin such as Ninja Forms?
Thanks – and thanks for the update!
Easily one of the best themes on the market!
David
Hey David,
It should be applied to select elements in third party forms as well as regular HTML select elements – just verify you have the option enabled in the Salient options panel > form styling tab
Cheers
Updated to ver 9.0. Now I can’t change fonts (blank field) in Theme Panel / Typography. Bug?
Hey rhodezman, if you’ve already tried clearing your cache could you kindly reach out in regards with your admin credentials via the contact form on my author page so I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Are you able to insert shortcodes in the current team members popup view? Like an icon list or progress bar? Even basic lists?
Hey Mbx, the team member description is limed to text only however there’s a social icon section at the bottom as well
Can you make this feature available in a future update (hopefully sooner than later)?
Hey Mbx, user requested features make there way into updates based on popular demand
Well The very basic level would you be able to add addition thumbnail gallrery links once the team members page loads?
Hey Mbx, that would require custom modding as of now – currently that’s not an item on the wishlist
just wanted to say you guys kicked ass really nice on the latest update 9 <3 great and outstanding work… this is the best theme ever <3 congratulations!!!!!
Thanks so much atwatwx! I’m glad to hear you dig it 
Cheers
I see the team members group, but is there a way to create a team members custom post type? So I can add them team members separately, then call them into a post using your shortcode? A single team member page that can highlight certain features of the member, like age, education,expertise, hobbies, pet peeves? I want to be able to control what is said for each member and what gets displayed. Is this possible with this theme?
Hey Mbx, the team member element is a regular page builder element not a custom post type and therefore can’t be queried for like you’re looking to do unfortunately
Will you at least inlcude the ability to add shortcodes and/or html in that bio box? So it can be extended with details?
Mbx, that wouldn’t be possible as of now with the current element given the WP limitations on shortcode attributes. The bio is saved as attribute itself on the team member WPBakery element, which itself is stored as a shortcode and can’t accept shortcodes.
Can you add text next to the icon (to the left then?) When using the social media link?
The social icons get populated from an icon picker – there’s no available option to add additional text next to each icon
Where are the theme typography, like the different types of shortcodes you can do with a (regular list, and not Icon List), and see all the possibilities you can do with a layout and typography?
Hey Mbx, the typography options tab within the Salient options panel provides a way to change the font and font properties for various sections/elements of the theme independently- a list can be found in the docs: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/theme-options/typography/
I added a password to one of my pages and the password login looks strange. Link below
https://ourkindkitchen.com/wholesale/Any idea how to fix it?
Hey freshlyroastedweb,
That issue was fixed in v9.0
Cheers
Hi,
Quick question, do you recommend putting the custom CSS in a child theme’s style.css file or in the Salient Options custom CSS box? For theme update it looks like putting in the Salient Options CSS box does not change anything, everything seems working after updating.
Are there any other Pros or Cons for putting in the Options CSS or Child theme’s style.css other then losing custom styling after the update? Meaning does it have any performance benefits?
Hey toolbox101,
The custom CSS in the theme options panel is added for user convenience – if you have substantial amounts of CSS and could benefit from using an actual
file, then a child theme would make more sense. Either way, both will persist through updates 
Cheers
Hi there, On my site I have a transparent navigation. I am also using full-page slides. I’m having an issue where on lower screen resolutions, particularly computers with a low height, the logo is overlapping on top of content at the top of the page. I have sent you an email from my private email address. You should be able to confirm here that I have bought the theme.
Thanks so much, Sam
Hey Sam,
Please check your email in regards – I responded to this question you sent over there 
Hello since the update I am getting this error on my product list page. Warning: printf(): Too few arguments in [I’ve removed this as its my ftp]wp-content/themes/salient/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php on line 102
Hey LastSketch, could you kindly reach out via the support forum or via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar so I can take a closer look at the setup? So far I haven’t been able to replicate that locally
Thanks in advance
I noticed the error is because of the Jetpack plugin which is odd as thats a popular and recommended WordPress plugin. I deactivated the plugin and will retry either when they perform an update or if you could put that apart of your next update.
Hey LastSketch, thanks for letting me know – I’ve noted to test in regards
Hi. How do I go about updating my theme? I’m on v 8.5.3 and don’t see the update option anywhere.
Hey rouge1, you can use any of the available methods described here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
YES!! I saw on the latest $alient 9 update “one of our most requested features, autoplay videos now available on mobile devices”!!
Indeed! We also added parallax scrolling support on mobile as well which I believe you were looking for in the past 
Cheers
I Noticed that Too when I went back after my comment here!! For years I was hopin’ and prayin’ To the Salient Mobile Parallax Gods IT’S COME TRUE!!! I will send your demo links (do you have a new one showcasing mobile parallax and auto play mobile view videos?) to clients as one of my fav themes asap These days I often send new clients suggested theme links so they buy their own copies so they always have access to the updates themselves after I built and it goes live, just FYI it’s not me buying multiple copies these days, but still I might def do that myself as well Woooo Hooooooo! #ONEOFTHEMESEVERSTILLEVENGETTINGBETTER!!

Hi Presale question? Can I have albums of images as a gallery like this? https://the7.io/main/shortcodes/3-shortcodes/photo-albums/ with your theme?
Hey Mbx,
the styles within the Image Gallery element that Salient offers can be seen here: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/image-grid/
Cheers
I don’t think that answers my question. It’s not only a style that’s going on. I was specifically referring to the feature that allows users to click see an album and the number of images inside that album, and then clicking on it will take them to the gallery of that album that they clicked on.
Hey Mbx, there is no option to have each image trigger a separate gallery of images at this time
