5.0 alert! :(

Nectar slide is off after update!

I hope you figure this out soon :)

Hey rgbmango, we’ve updated the live demos to 5.0 and have not seen any issues yet with the Nectar Slider: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/about/about-me-extended/ can you please explain in further detail what you’re experiencing?

Thanks in advance

Hey Guys,

In regards to WordPress 5.0

You must update your Salient to the current version (10.0) and WPBakery page builder plugin to the current version (5.6) in order to have WordPress 5.0 compatibility. Alternatively, you can simply install the classic editor plugin

If you do neither of those things and are on WP 5.0, you will not be able to access the WPBakery page builder.

Cheers

Hi how did you guys make this 5.0 compatible given it uses the visual composer plugin? Will my site break before updating?

Hey siqve006, Salient v10 was just released, you need to update to that as well as update the included WPBakery plugin to use 5.0

Just saw your note below. thanks

It’s not required to use the classic editor plugin once 5.6 is installed :)

Disaster :-////

Hey Thomas308328, can you kindly elaborate on what issues you’re facing? v10 was just released and is required in order to use WP 5.0

hello, it works now. I installed the plugin, and everything is ok. Thank you for the follow up, great service!! Looking forward to the new video’s. Have a nice day!

Glad to hear Thomas :)

Visual composer is gone. Can no longer edit pages.

Hey gwax23, you need to update to the current release of the theme in order to get access to 5.6 of the WPBakery plugin. When using earlier versions, WordPress 5.0 will hide the page builder by default with the new block editor

Oh oh… WP 5.0 is here.

What do we do?! Visual Composer doesnt work any longer. Can’t edit pages…

HELP!

Hey hookieoalo, we released an update today (v10) that add compatibility with WP 5.0. Make sure that after you update the theme, you also update the included Salient WPBakery page builder plugin

Cheers

Hi TN,

Thanks. However, how do I update the theme without losing all my settings? Can I just upload it through WP, or do I need to do FTP stuff?

Hey, the update process is the same as always – you can use the Envato market plugin or FTP http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/

Hello team ;) What about WP 5.0? ;)

Hey barreoblique, we released an update today (v10) that add compatibility with WP 5.0. Make sure that after you update the theme, you also update the included Salient WPBakery page builder plugin

Cheers

Hi,

I really like your theme and I have a couple of questions before buying it.

1) You must be aware of the new WordPress requirements from Envato (https://forums.envato.com/t/wordpress-requirements-update-and-new-gutenberg-optimized-attribute/207103).

I work for an agency that wants to assure that the themes we use for our clients are error-free, and we check the themes with theme-check plugin (or envato-theme-check plugin).

This is really important for us, and before buying any theme we want to be sure that theme respects the WordPress and/or Envato Market standards.

So, the question: Are there any errors (required, warnings) displayed by the envato-theme-check plugin?

2) WordPress 5 will be released today. How does Salient with WPBakery Page Builder integrates with Gutenberg editor. We assume that we either install the default editor plugin, or use the front-end builder, right?

Thank you and I’m looking forward for you answers.

Hey bobomodw,

1. The latest update removes most of the Envato theme check errors. We dedicated a section of the v10 timeframe to adhering to those standards: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

2. With the new Salient release, you have the option to use either the WPBakery page builder or the new block editor. The only thing is that you can’t easily switch between the two for the same page. The choice for which editor to use should be made when beginning a post/page to avoid any hassles

Cheers

Are there any options for altering the product category pages. It would be great if the header image was deeper and the caption was displayed in the header. Also it would be nice to set the header as transparent for the category pages.

Thanks

Hey MarcGarner,

As of now there’s no further customization options other than the page header settings metabox. The category pages inherit the settings from that area on the main shop page

Cheers

hi,

is it possible to use a transparant mobile menu just like on dektop ?

that when you scroll the mobile background goes from transparant to solid ..

regards, Laurens Floor

Hey Laurens Floor,

Unfortunately that’s not possible yet. However you can make use of the permanent transparent header option on mobile.

I’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist

Cheers

Will this theme work with WordPress 5.0?

Hey alitraeps, in order to use WP 5.0 you must also update your Salient to the current version (10.0) and WPBakery page builder plugin to the current version (5.6) in order to have WordPress 5.0 compatibility. Alternatively, you can simply install the classic editor plugin

Hi! I’m currently trying to add colors (up to 7 more colors) in the Accent color options. I was able to add them in the theme options Accent colors sections.

Only problem is they are not showing up once we try to add a flip box or a button.

Can you please help?

Hey kpott,

You would need to add the colors into the element color fields as well in the nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar_maps directory

Cheers

hi how can i show search bar?

Hey naveedse,in the Salient options panel > header navigation > layout related tab, ensure that you do not have the option checked for “Remove Header search”

ok its working cool. i want to show white testimonial but didnt see any tutorial. how can i show that?

Hey naveedse, have you looked through the Salient studio? We have many testimonial templates available to add to any page/post: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Hello, Im looking to add a link/button to ONLY the Mobile off canvas Menu. I cant seem to get it working. Am I missing something?

Hey UCOMEDIA, you can assign widgets to the off canvas menu location in Appearance > Widgets, which will appear no where else on the site. What methods have you used to try and add content to that area?

Hi

How i can fix it? Ty

http://amako.framepage.me/case/ ( work) http://amako.framepage.me/en/completed-projects/ ( dont work)

Hey Fodert, WPML have tested with Salient to ensure compatibility – have you tried to reach out to them in regards? They also just recently updated their docs for Salient: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/create-multilingual-wordpress-websites-using-the-salient-theme-and-wpml/

hi,

how am I able to change the body background ?

and how am I able to change the background color of the ‘Off Canvas Menu Style: Slide Out From Right’ on mobile ?

it’s the same mobile menu as the Installable Demo: eCommerce Ultimate (see link below) http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce-ultimate/

regards, Laurens Floor

Hey LaurensFloor, you can alter that in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling tab. Just remember to select “custom” for your “Header Color Scheme”

thanks allot ! that worked :)

Glad to hear! :)

When displaying related posts on blog post is enabled in salient settings. How are related posts determined? There doesn’t seem to be an area on posts for selecting related articles.

Help much appreciated thank you.

Hey MarcGarner,

They are simply populated from posts that share the same category

Cheers

Ok, good to know thanks!

You’re very welcome :)

Hi there,

I was wandering how the Homepage of this demo is setup: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-blog-ultimate/

Is it possible to add sections at the middle and bottom of this setup? Is it composed with different rows and columns in the WPBakery composer?

We would like to add full width images in the Homepage.

Thank you for your help!

Regards,

Richard

Hey Richard,

It is indeed using rows with various blog and recent post elements, using different styles. You can actually find most of those sections directly in the Salient studio to add to any page: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/salient-studio/

Cheers

Okay, thank you very much for your help!

You’re welcome :)

Cheers
