The faster loading boost that you have noted in your change loge is only effective when we select no transition at all? What if we use fade out or any other transitions, did they also get speed boost? By the way, speed boosts are always welcome in other parts of Salient.
Hey toolbox101,
The theme no longer relies on JS to create most of the layouts so it will be most noticeable when disabling the transitions. However, that also means that overall even with them on there’s less scripting happening on each load. By default page transitions are now disabled on mobile, so even if you use them for desktop you’ll still see a big difference when navigating on mobile devices. There has been an option added to turn them back on when using mobile devices as well if desired though.
Thanks for the AWESOME UPDATE! Is there a limit to the number of locations the Leaflet Map displays? I had over 50 locations on my old google map but the Leaflet map only displays 4 of my locations.
Hey sa0708, glad you’re enjoying it! 
There shouldn’t be a cap on locations – could you kindly reach out in regards on the support forum or send an email in regards using the contact form on my author page so I can take a closer look? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Updated this morning, since then my mobile view is a little off. this is full width on desktop. It does this for all 50% 50% full width items. https://ibb.co/edgZTU
Hey msurma00,
It appears that you don’t have the latest version of the WPBakery front end stylesheet on your setup – can you verify you’re on the latest release of the plugin? Also, the WPBakery stylesheet on your setup is loading from the custom options location https://mikesurmadesign.com/wp-content/uploads/js_composer/js_composer_front_custom.css instead of the core version included https://mikesurmadesign.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/assets/css/js_composer.min.css
Yes I have updated the latest version of WP bakery..how do I fix?
Hey msurma00, The custom location that your stylesheet is loading from should only occur when using an option in the WPBakery plugin settings that Salient doesn’t offer. The “Use custom design options” which lives in the WP Dashboard -> WPBakery Page Builder -> Design Options tab. Were you previously using a raw/different version of the WPBakery page builder at any point and enabled that? If so, disable the Salient version and activate the other version temporarily to disable that option
I only have one version of WPBakery installed..”Salient WPBakery Page Builder version 5.5.2” and the responsive elements option is disabled. Any other ideas? Thanks https://ibb.co/fyE059
Hey msurma00, try to temp rename the file on your server https://mikesurmadesign.com/wp-content/uploads/js_composer/js_composer_front_custom.css to get the plugin to regenerate the stylesheet
Am I renaming this file? https://mikesurmadesign.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/assets/css/js_composer.min.css. Kinda confused?
No, that’s the core file that your site is currently not loading – its loading from the location pasted in my previous comment. If you would like assistance and can provide temp ftp access, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page
Dude, you never cease to amaze me. You never stop making this theme THE BEST theme ALIVE. Seriously man… you keep outperforming YOURSELF! LOL. You keep breaking your own record.
Let me say it like this, Salient is THE best theme I have ever used in 15 years(I’ve used hundreds of themes). You keep it well updated, it’s well-coded, it does everything, and your attention to detail outperforms all competition. Thank you for not making 1,000 themes that barely get updated, and focus on one single theme that knocks all others out of the park. NEVER STOP updating this theme. I appreciate you more than you know. Seriously. This theme has changed my efficiency in my work life, which has been a blessing to my wife and kids. You are LITERALLY changing lives over here. You have made my world better and less stressful. I know people come on here and complain a lot because they aren’t tech-savvy, but you my friend need to know that what you’re doing matters. It’s not just about the money. It’s had a massive impact in my life. Sounds cheesy on the surface, but I’m telling you the truth!
Great job brother. My jaw is on THE FLOOR all over again after this last update!
That means a lot CrucialCounty, thanks so much for taking the time to write it. Hearing that I’ve made a positive impact on your life truly made my day 
Cheers
Hey crazyheart,
can you please share the page URL so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
sure – wanted to put that template on a 404 page: https://unhype.com/404-page-not-found
i figure it out – need to add a thumbnail image in the category editor. Do you have documentation for things like that? How am i supposed to know how a module works exactly?
Hey crazyheart,
In nearly every case if the element is not specific to a post type, all of the settings will be directly inside of the page builder element – in cases where a element is qeuring for items from a post type, the output can be modified by settings within the post type itself. I’ve noted to add info about the new element into the docs
Cheers
Hi, my website with Salient theme is almost ready. I would like to change a little in the mobile version of the site. Is it possible to center pictures in mobile mode, while they’re on the left or right in the normal version?
Hey StanArends,
Could you kindly share your page URL so I can take a look at the setup?
Cheers
Hello! My Page URL is www.insane-lichtengeluid.nl But my site is currently in maintenance mode, is that a problem?
Yesterday evening it suddenly worked with some simple tricks. Thank you anyway! I have two small things i would like to edit to my site, in mobile version. Next to the navigation sign on top of the site is another weird symbol, i don’t know what it does but i would like it to be removed. Furter i would like to make the size of the caption text on the nectar slider bigger on mobile devices. Do you know how i can accomplish that?
Hey StanArends,
1. Verify that in your Salient options panel > WooCommerce tab that the option for “Enable WooCommerce Cart In Nav” is turned off
2. You can adjust this by editing the Nectar Slider directly in the page builder and using the “Mobile text sizing” tab
Cheers
Thank you, the sign is gone! The text adjusting works fine on phone mode, only tablet mode doesn’t change anything. Any idea how to solve this?
Hey StanArends, is there anyway you could allow me to bypass the maintenance mode again so I can take another look at the Nectar Slider?
Cheers
I could PM my login credentials?
Done!
Thanks StanArends 
Hi there ThemeNectar.
Just updated to 9.0 and found out that there is something wrong with the Nectar Slider. I use a full width, full height, parallax slider and ever since the update it doesn’t behave as it should. First of all it ads some space above and bellow the slider (checked the row options and there is nothing there) and the top of the slider is a big black bar. Please see the image here: https://goo.gl/QoX5QA
Please advise.
Kind regards, Catalin
Hey Catalin, can you please share the page URL so I can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hey ThemeNectar,
My website is http://catalinchitu.ro. it isn’t finished yet but I disabled the UnderConstruction mode so you can have a look.
Thank you so much for your support.
Kind regards, Catalin
Thanks Catalin,
One issue I noticed is that the parent row holding the slider is also set to fullscreen – disable that option since the slider itself has the option and will handle those calculations. If that doesn’t fix the issue please reach out via the contact form on my author page with your admin credenails so I can take a closer look at the setup to figure out what’s causing that for you https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thanks in advance
Hey ThemeNectar,
I did what you suggested and fixed half of the problem. Just sent you the credentials via contact form. Thank you for your support.
Kind regards, Catalin
Thanks ktakytzu, I’ve responded to that in regards

Hi!! I would like to override testimonial slider template on child theme, but I copy and paste the file on child theme, and it’s not working. It’s showed parent version template. Can you help me please?
Hey ZGmarketing,
as of now this can’t be overridden in a child theme – the parent theme file would have to be altered. We’ve noted to make this possible in upcoming releases
Cheers
Are you able to change the shortcode “Team” to something else, like “Model”? If so, what level of effort is required to do so? Is there something that can be added to the child theme and allow you to save that change and not lose it from Future updates to the parent?
Hey Mbx, it would require some custom javascript to bind the existing event to a new selector and then markup for the new element.
hi there !
I’m trying to install the Salient theme on a localhost – but when I want to ‘Add Theme’ > ‘Upload Theme’ then i gives the next error:
The link you followed has expired. Please try again.
why is this ?
regards, Laurens Floor
Hey Laurens Floor 
That could occur if the PHP settings on your local setup are too low to allow the upload. Check the following settings and increase yours if they’re lower:
post_max_size 32M upload_max_filesize 64M max_execution_time 180 memory_limit 512M
hi again,
i added a php.ini file in the wp-admin with the next lines:
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 64M
max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 512M
but still no succes ..
regards, Laurens Floor
Hey LaurensFloor,
Those values already exist in every php.ini file – they just need to be modified and then your server has to be restarted: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24262606/edit-php-ini-file#answer-24263601

Hi there! Like a lot of other people, I went ahead and updated the theme this morning! No real issues (so far) that I’ve found other than one thing! Looks like “Page Header Title” has been auto populated with each pages title. With that said, now each page has a white space above the header that displays the title. I’d like to possibly disable this globally so I don’t have to go page by page and delete each line. I looked online and articles say to go to Appearance > Customize > General Options > Page Title and set the style to “hidden”. This is not an option with the latest version of Wordpress. Please advise what I can do to tackle this issue without going page by page! Thanks in advance!!!
Hey EvanBurg, glad to hear 
The option for the page title to get added is located in the Salient options panel > page header tab: https://ibb.co/gbYSDU if you’re not seeing that, please either open a ticket in regards on our support forum or send an email in regards using the contact form on my author page: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Cheers
Thanks for your input! I’ve already looked at that page and the “Automatically Add Page Title to Page Header.” toggle is OFF. I’m thinking I may have to go page by page an delete what was auto populated into the Page Header Title input.
Hey EvanBurg, nothing should have gotten automatically populated in that field - could you kindly open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so we can take a closer look? https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hi, Thanks for updating the site. As many others I’m having problems…should I just wait it out ? Nothing I do gets my grid gallery to be full width https://studiolaflamme.com/
And it’s not recognizing my color scheme no matter what I do. For the record, it didn’t recognize my color scheme very well before, there was a bug here. But it worked good enough, now everything is light blue. Go figure. Any help is appreciated as always! Thanks..
Hey silverlithomes, have you tried to clear your browser cache after updating? I’m currently seeing it display full width: https://ibb.co/mgcLHp – if caching is not the issue on your end, kindly let me know what browser/OS you’re using so I can replicate
Cheers
As usual..my bad. Sorry. Are you able to tell me why on this page https://studiolaflamme.com/product-category/photo/
when I click on home it takes me to my actual home page instead of shop home? Is there a way to change this? Thanks again. Cheers
No worries silverlithomes, here’s a link to their docs which contains a snippet for that 
Hello, in the salient theme is there a native progress bar option in reading a blog post? like this: https://prnt.sc/knutyu
Hey fourthcode,
That would require the use of a plugin currently
I updated to 9 and some things are slightly off on my site, such as the accent colors, and a lot of things are pushed far to the left leaving a white space on the right. I think this happened last update too but I can’t remember what I did to fix it. All my settings are the way they should be.
never mind – I got it fixed
Hey skucenski, if you’re using the option “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS Into External Stylesheet” in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab, you’ll need to click “Save changes” in your options panel after updating to regenerate your stylesheet
Cheers
Just tried that and it did not work – I thought it was due to Cloudflare, but I temp disabled everything from there as well and still seeing an incorrect version
I also just got this message when I clicked “update” after making a small change on a page:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/darnrobe/public_html/tailoftwocreatives/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/tinymce/shortcode-processing.php:4230) in /home2/darnrobe/public_html/tailoftwocreatives/wp-admin/post.php on line 198

Hey skucenski, when checking out the theme assets on your server they appear to be directly minified within the theme itself: https://tailoftwocreatives.com/wp-content/themes/salient/style.css?ver=9.0 – you need to disable whatever is doing that to the files in order to allow the new versions correctly. By default the files are shipped unminified like so: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/wp-content/themes/salient/style.css?ver=9.0
I disabled everything in Cloudflare and paused the site. It’s still showing me the warning error when I try to update my home page. I created, published and updated a page as a test and it went through fine. I am not sure what else I am supposed to be disabling
Hey skucenski, the files appear to be the correct versions on my end now and the site looks as it should – are you also seeing that on your end? If you’re still experiencing the issue with editing your page, kindly open a ticket in regards via the support forum with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this.
https://themenectar.ticksy.comHello, I just updated to 9.0 and saw that the partial effect is off on my mobile device. The text is now on the top of the page instead of in the middle of the page. Please see the screenshot showing what I mean here: http://loanleads.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IMG_3734.jpeg
Also, I noticed on one of your new demos that there was a popup optin that showed up. How do we add that? Thank you!
Hey worldwidedesign,
1. Thanks for letting me know – it should only occur when using the parallax option + fullscreen with the HTMl5 particle feature – to fix it now, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
#page-header-bg[data-parallax="1"][data-alignment-v="middle"].fullscreen-header .nectar-particles .span_6 {
-webkit-transform: none!important;
transform: none!important;
}
}
2. We used the plugin “Popup Maker” which can be installed via the demo importer tab for that specific demo 
I updated the theme today and my site is now missing a lot of things. in the editor everything is there. put when you go to the page it is missing text, fancy box, call to actions, overlays on images and other. Many things that are custom css.Please help. www.mikesurmadesign.com
Hey msurma00, have you tried clearing your browser cache/any caching plugins you have active yet after updating? From my end I can’t immediately notice anything off about the page: https://ibb.co/bVikHp
does anyone know how i can move a slider above the top navigation bar? or alternatively hide the top navigation bar behind the slider, so it only shows once i scroll below the slider?
trying to create a landing page without header and once you click on it, it scrolls down to the actual site (where the header menu should be displayed)
Hey whuupwhuup,
There’s no option for the main navigation bar to be moved under a slider, but if you remove the default header with the page template “No header” you can then place a page submenu page builder element under your slider
Cheers
ok thank you for your reply!
You’re welcome whuupwhuup 
Hi Loving the new update, Mobile parallax is fantastic.
Wondering if there is a way to get the contact form looking as before, grey input boxes don’t really suit my site. Wondering if there is an option to change it back to white. Thanks. Great Job
Hey MarcGarner, glad you’re enjoying it
Unfortunately that style had to be switched to not rely on javascript to move the labels around – it ended up being a main source of user issues when using third party
forms in one way or another. If you want to remove the BG color to give it a similar look as before, use the following CSS
body[data-form-style="minimal"] input[type="text"], body[data-form-style="minimal"] input[type="email"], body[data-form-style="minimal"] textarea {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Makes sense, thanks for the assistance much appreciated.
You’re welcome MarcGarner 
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
