Hi there,

I got trouble with new update. I have followed the installation doc but I can’t find the visual composer anymore. And the editor become blank white.

Thanks

Hey deody,

Are you on version 10 of the theme & version 5.6 of the page builder? If so, kindly verify that no other third party plugins you may have active are causing the issue. If you rule those items out, please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

I updated Wordpress and something happend with the layout / Visual Composer.

https://www.useloom.com/share/d0ea11f12e5944eb82d80faf9b60f8b3

Can you explain to me what is going wrong? Many thanks!

Hey ruimdenker! You must update your version of Salient to the current version (10.0) and Salient WPBakery page builder plugin to the current version (5.6). Alternatively, you can simply install the classic editor plugin to remove the new block editor and avoid having to update the theme/page builder plugin. We also encourage all users updating to read through our article on the topic: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Cheers

Hi Themenectar. Somehow the Gutenberg editor has re-activated itself after I deactivated it. I want to use the WpBakery editor but now I cant find where to deactivate Gutenberg again, it does not show up as an option in the Bakery settings. Where is the option?

Hey anagcan, please take a look at your WordPress 5.0 article in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Cheers :)

yes, i found it…thank you!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi, Is it possible to center the logo on the current navigation layout that we use? any CSS to add maybe?

Thanks. https://aqualai.webcodio.xyz/ ( its a dev stage atm )

And also, Is there any way to add the logo on the top of the full screen canvas menu ? right above the menu, let’s say

Thanks

Hey,

1. Add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab

body:not(.mobile) #header-outer[data-format="centered-menu"] header#top .span_3 {
    left: 50%;
   transform: translateX(-50%);
}

Cheers

2. That would require custom modding to the file templates

Cheers

Hey Korigan!

Could you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look and also let me know what version of Salient you were previously on?

Thanks in advance

Reinstalled Salient today from Jul 2017 “WP All in One Migration” back up due to another web “developer” completely breaking the site. Only thing standing between me and being able fix the website is inability to update “WPBakery Visual Composer” plugin. Despite it being included with my original theme purchase all links I’m am being directed to are trying to sell me to purchase a WPBakery License. PLEASE HELP! This is the only website I have used this purchase code/licence on, but the Envato API Secret Key system seems to have changed and I don’t know why I can’t get this one plug in to update? (Support has obviously expired for this purchase, but I shouldn’t need to re-purchase support to update a paid for plugin?) Site is necessarily in maintenance mode until I can fix it. Would really appreciate your URGENT help and advice. Thank you.

Hey LeanneKingwell, Salient includes a theme specific version of that plugin which is titled “Salient WPbakery page builder”. It’s packaged with the theme itself for free and no license code is required to update. If you’re not using the theme version of the plugin and instead you’re using the raw version titled “WPbakery page builder” in the plugins section, you’ll need to contact the plugin author in regards

Thank you SO much! You were spot on. Previous “developer” had installed the “non Salient” version which was interfering with the natural update process. I deleted that wrong plug in just now, and suddenly “required update” on older version worked. You are a lifesaver. I love this theme and your diligent and continued support. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

Edited: fixed

Hey MatthewMurdoch, glad to hear you sorted it :)

Hi, just wondering how I can get flipbox to remain a rectangle on mobile view? It is changing to a square which is not the desired result.

Thanks.

Hey yogasanjay,

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: 690px) {
.nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align="center"] .flip-box-back, .nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align="center"] .flip-box-front {
  min-height: 220px!important;
}
}

Cheers

Thanks I had been using this code:

.nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align] .flip-box-back, .nectar-flip-box[data-h_text_align] .flip-box-front { border-radius: 20px; overflow: hidden; } .flip-box-front, .flip-box-back { height: 200px!important; max-height: 200px!important; } body .nectar-flip-box .flip-box-back .inner, body .nectar-flip-box .flip-box-front .inner { padding: 20px; }

And found that adding the new part you provided to this has made a difference.

Glad to hear yogasanjay :)

How are you guys getting a 97 on pagespeed? I get an 8 with my site https://apexdesign.company

Hey haschop, you need to compress the images shown in this report to be ready for the web:

https://ibb.co/grhvSdD – large images should be in the ballpark of 300kb, you have a few that are 3000kb – 4000kb, and that will give you a large penalty on the score. Other than that you should also be minfiiying the theme js/css http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/#minification

I have updated WordPress as well as Salient. All seems to be fine however one of my pages now seems to have a bug. Elements show in the back end editor but front end editor wont load and the page itself is now showing as completely blank. When trying to preview or publish from the back end editor the page gets redirected to a new blog post. All other pages and functionalities are working fine. It is just this one single page that is not working.

Hey w_bailey,

could you please reach out in regards via the contact form on my author page with temporary admin credentials so I can take a look at the page that’s giving you this issue? https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar

Cheers

Hi, thank you for your quick response. I’ve spent some time working on this issue and it appears that the problem was caused by a conflict with the plugin ‘Woocommerce Product Blocks’ that was unintentionally installed on my site.

Hey w_bailey, i’m glad to hear you found out what was causing the issue :)

How can I improve salient to be more mobile friendly? Is there any documentation for this?

Hey slifdigital, can you please provide your URL so I can take a look what is not acting responsive to assist?

In general, you have control over typography scaling via the Salient options panel > typography > responsive settings tab. You also have control over mobile column widths inside of the page builder > column settings > responsive options tab

Is there images with the demo imports ?? Cant seem to see too much including pages.

the latest did not include revolution slider or install it

Hey webhostau, what demos are you importing? Only demos created within the past 2 years include images instead of placeholders – as we switched from premium stock photos to free stock photos (which can be redistributed). Also, all of the studio templates include images when imported: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

2. Slider revolution is not used on any of the demos, nor is it included with the theme

Demo Importer in the Salient menu. You should include slider revolution.

I’m not seeing a way to update Visual Composer??!!

Hey savacom100, have you taken a look through our post on WP 5 and the update process? http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/

Awesome!!!! Thank You!

You’re welcome savacom100 :)

Still not seeing how to update the WPBakery plugin. It’s called “Salient Visual Composer” in my plugins and doesn’t have an update. When I try to update the theme to v10 then it says, “The link you followed has expired.”

I’m sorry to hear you ran into these issues. Can you kindly share your URL in regards so I can take a look at what’s off with your styling after the update?

Thanks in advance

Thanks bettermen13,

the issue is that you’re using the “Move Dynamic/Custom CSS into External Stylesheet” option in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab. After updating you need to click “Save Changes” in the theme options – this will rewrite the dynamic stylesheet again and your styling will return. Alternatively, you can simply turn off that option to avoid having to do this in the future

Hey, are you planning to make Salient optimized for Gutenberg some time soon?

Hey Karolya, we added basic styling for the block editor elements in the last update. We are not planning on switching to that as a page builder over WPBakery. We have been focusing on the front end editor that was just added in v10

ThemeNectar + Salient = GOLD

Thank you my friend for such HARD WORK keeping things updated and beautiful. You have changed my life… I’m serious man! This theme has and continues to be even more amazing and efficient!

@webhostau

One thing you can do if you install the latest version of the theme and don’t see a way to update the Salient WPakery plugin, is to delete the plugin and it will prompt you to install it again. Then it will grab the latest version when you install. :-)

Thanks so much CrucialCounty, always great to get feedback from you – I also appreciate you helping up in the comments :)

Cheers!

There are no latest plugins in the last update.

Hey webhostau, have you updated to v10 of Salient? That’s the only way to get the WPBakery plugin update available. If you’re already on that version, please verify you don’t have plugin notifications disabled in the Salient options panel > general settings > toggle theme features tab

Boys, do not update yet. Wait for bugs to be fixed. I believe 10.1 is the release we all want

Hey PapaJohns, I’m a little confused why you’re recommending that. The Salient v10 update was just released less than an hour ago and no feedback has come in yet. The comments in here relating to issues are in regards to WordPress 5.0, which came out earlier in the day – version 10 of Salient actually should fix those issues.

Oh I got it all wrong. I guess Salient 10 is safe to install, will try it later. Sorry for my comment, I didn’t think it through. You’re the best, I love your theme!

No worries PapaJohns, thanks for the clarification and let me know if you encounter any issues.

Cheers

Hi, regarding the v10 update… - is the child theme unchanged? (I’m guessing so) - the Envato Market plugin still shows v9, so I guess we upload v10 manually? Many thanks, and good luck with the changeover – Salient still rocks. Moz

Thanks a lot hookandloop :)

And yes, the child theme has not changed from 9.0

How do you update to wpbakery to 5.6? Why is there no mention of this in the update!!!

Hey timpjohn, the process is the same for this update as all in the past. Once you’ve updated your version of the theme, you be able to update the page builder plugin directly in the “Plugins” section of your admin panel

I am not given the option to update wpbakery… i am on 5.5.2 with no update option.

Please read through our 5.0 update guide http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/ if you still can not update the plugin, could you kindly open a ticket in regards via the support forum with your admin credentials so we can take a further look into this?
