After udating the theme from version 9.02 to version 10.01 I am not seeing the widgetized sidebars on my website. The sidebars are still visible under “Widgets” but they are empty (the widgets are removed). Has this option changed or removed in the update?
Hey marjolein64, I have not been able to replicate this issue. Could you kindly open a ticket on our support forum in regards with temporary admin credentials so we can take a close look into this? https://themenectar.ticksy.com
Thanks in advance
I’ve also noticed a bug with reCaptcha disappearing from my Contact Form 7. Have there been any issues reported with this?
I’ve disabled reCaptcha integration within Salient recently since it’s breaking my forms. Unfortunately I’m getting a lot of spam. Please advise.
Hey briance, there’s currently no confirmed issue like that – could you share your URL in regards so I can take a closer look?
Thanks in advance
I need one more thing before we go live. How do I add a discord button to the slim footer. Those circle icons.
https://fontawesome.com/icons/discord?style=brandsDiscord is I think on the 5x version of font awesome
Hey NerdCommerce, there’s currently no option for that icon in the version Salient is using. 5.0 of font awesome reworked the library completely and updating would break existing user sites which made use of the icons. Because of this, WPBakery has not updated the library yet
How do I upgrade from Salient 7.6 to latest? I’ve purchased extended support and tried downloading and uploading theme with no luck.
I get a message saying…
Installing Theme from uploaded file: salient.zip Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists. /home/jerstu11/selftaughtmovie.com/wp-content/themes/salient/
Theme installation failed.
Hey briance,
Are you trying to upload the new version of the theme before removing the older one? If so, that’s why the error is occurring. Please take a look through the various update methods here: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/
how do i move the back to top button about 80px to the left side? also where would i put the css?
Hey NerdCommerce,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body #to-top { right: 100px; }
Hello,
I have a problem with Contact Form 7: I don’t receive email notifications when someone fills out my contact form. However I didn’t make any particular settings (I kept the basic model) and I receive the other Wordpress notifications mails (shop, change of password …). I tried everything I could to solve this problem without success … Do you have an idea of what can cause this problem? Can it come from any incompatibility with Salient Themes?
Thanks in advance
Hey charlotte-da-mota, Salient does not add any additional functionality to CF7, it only provides styling for the input fields. Have you tried to temporarily disable Salient to verify that it’s theme related on your end?
Thanks in advance
I just did the test by disabling the Salient theme, but the problem is still present. I will try to find another solution … Thanks for your help.
how can I change the transparency overlay to 0 of the image header in the shop page and the category pages? Can’t seem to find the options only in the css .page-header-bg-image:after{background-color:rgba(45,45,45,0.35);
Hey jostakid, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
body.archive .page-header-bg-image:after { display: none; }
thanks it worked thanks a lot!!!!!
Glad I could help jostakid 
Hi,
On single product, image thumbnail / image slider don’t work (cannot click the thumbnail to show the image). Also on your demo shop page.
Works only when you enlarge the image of the product
I forgot, this happens on mobile view
Hey sneacker, thanks for pointing that out – add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab to fix it prior to the next release:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
.single-product .row > .product[data-gallery-style="left_thumb_sticky"] .summary.entry-summary {
clear: both;
}
}
No problem. Thanks
You’re welcome sneacker 
Hi We are facing a problem after we update the the “Salient WPBakery Page Builder” plugin to new version.
We had a full width background but it is not showing full width now. You can see how it is looking in the screenshot. http://prntscr.com/m276d5 and this is our html class looking like http://prntscr.com/m27afg css style http://prntscr.com/m27ak0 We had a in line css before which was not showing now. The inline css was like this http://prntscr.com/m27at6Waiting for your reply Thank you
Hey mahdirockr,
As of v9.0 in full width background rows the row-bg-wrap div, which is located inside of the row html markup, is now what becomes full width rather than the row itself. See the this screenshot for clarification: https://ibb.co/BsckDF1 You’ll need to keep your BG inside of that div in order to get it to display full width
Cheers
Thank you Thats a lots of work. As we have a 82 active pages. Changing css will be lots of work. And will take lots of time. Is there any simple solution?
Hey mahdirockr, have you been adding rows via raw HTML instead of using the page builder on all of those pages? Could you please share your URL in regards so i can take a look?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I am adding this using WordPress “Additional CSS”
and one more problem. This class (“row-bg-wrap”) is also available under child column.
So If I add background for parent class. Background also showing for child class.
The css required would make use of a direct child selector to avoid it being added in children, e.g.
.row > .row-bg-wrap {
}
Hello,
The transparent header isn’t transparent for me.
http://wolomarketing.comAm I missing a setting?
Hey Jwrbloom, it looks like you do not have the option enabled titled “Use Transparent Header When Applicable” in the Salient options panel > header navigation > transparent header effect tab. Once you enable that, you can force the effect on pages by using the “force transparency” on navigation option in your page header settings metabox https://ibb.co/yFQJTyx
I did have that set in the Transparent Header Effect tab. It was the other setting I didn’t have set. Is there a way to make that the Default behavior when Transparent Header is selected?
Hey Jwrbloom, the transparent effect will be automatically used when using a page header (from the page header settings metabox). If you opt to use a page builder row at the top instead it requires being manually turned on. The only way to make it always one would require a mod in the child theme. You’d need to copy the function “using_page_header” from nectar/helpers/page-header.php into your child theme and change the bottom line of
return $the_verdict;to be
return true
Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if it’s me or if the image on the product page really looks a bit faded out. Please see this link: https://connectingbrands.pt/product/champagne-drappier-carte-dor/
The product photo appears slightly faded on my screen, and when I hover over, a bigger and a more “vibrant” photo appears.
I tried to inspect the element to see if there is any css but haven’t found anything. So is it my imagination or what is going on there? Can you have a look?
Thank you so much!
I think I know what’s going on there. The images used in the product photo is a smaller version of the original. Because of that, the image is scaled down and then stretched to fit the container, loosing some of the quality in the process.
Is there a way to force the original image to be displayed and not the reduced one?
thanks
Nevermind.
I got it fixed. Needed to change the photo size parameter in WooCommerce customize options. It was 300px, changed to 400px and it worked for me.
Hey DigitSigma, glad to hear you found the answer 
Hi, With the API changes, it seems that i can no longer update the theme through the Envato Toolkit (I’m still using the 7.0.1 version), and the visual composer on my site is not working anymore. Would you please tell me how could i update the theme now?
Cheers
Hey, thank you so much! Everything is working just fine now :))) Cheers!
Glad I could help iqmartins 
Hey guys,
I’m really having issues with load speeds on this site https://www.secant-software.com Audits are telling me that I should “Consider lazy-loading offscreen and hidden images after all critical resources”.
Any ideas would be much appreciated
Hey sam_lee1985,
What plugins have you tried for lazy loading? If you’re having issues with one, please let me know so I can test further on my end
Hello! Just wondering if it’s possible to add raw HTML to the header navigation? Reason being is my client uses the Mindbody software for their business, and I’d like to add the Login module link to the nav. The only way to do this though, is by adding the entire script that creates a link to open the login module – it’s not just a URL.
Hey janellelamothe!
To do this you would need to copy the file includes/partials/header/header-menu.php into your child theme and make the modification there
Cheers
Hello,
Thanks for the great theme and all the support. Much appreciated! Just curious if there is a way to add a bullet point or some symbol or delineation between portfolio filter categories in the horizontal sort bar? Currently it can sometimes look like a sentence and not a sort bar, if you know what I mean. Just looking for a way to make each option standout from its neighbour. Thanks for your consideration. Happy New Year! Hope to renew my support soon if things go well! This is just for a non-profit food blog.
Portfolio filter sort bar customization – possible to include a bullet between categories?
Hey BernyHi 
I’ve noted your idea for icon support in the filters. For now, a separator would be possible with a line of custom css. If you want one, add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
.portfolio-filters-inline .container ul > li:after {
background-color: #000;
width: 1px;
height: 14px;
display: inline-block;
content: '';
margin: 0 5px;
}
.portfolio-filters-inline .container ul > li:last-child:after { display: none; }
Cheers & Happy new year as well!
Dear Salient support, can i remove the padding of the nectar slider “only for mobiles” on this page as it gets over the menu. desktop show it right so i would not remove it all : https://finca.micalas.com/foodmenu/
thanks in advance
Hey selassie75,
I’m trying to get a better understanding on what you’re trying to achieve – are you just trying to cause the Nectar Slider to overlap on top of the title text “Food menu” on mobile displays?
Hi ThemeNectar, no i’m trying to remove it. its working well on the desktop (overlaping correctly) but on mobile its overlaping too much.
Hey selassie75,
Edit your column which has the -50 top margin and change it to percent value so that it can work well on all screen sizes. A value of “4%” should work fine.
Cheers
Happy New year!
Please let me know if Salient is compatible with WP 5.0.2? if not, please let me know your current plan. Thank you 
Hey jf, Salient is indeed compatible with the latest WordPress. Please read our article on WP 5.0 in regards http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/wordpress-5-0-update-guide/
Cheers
Awesome!! Thank you for the info. You may consider updating the information on the product page: https://www.screencast.com/t/UAFDT2WKx4
Cheers! 
Hey jf, thanks for mentioning! It’s been updated 
Nectar!! How have you been man? Hope you had a beautiful Christmas. A couple quick questions for you -
1. One of my prospects wants a scheduler that works inside of a membership platform, would you recommend any type of software that works well with Salient or programmers that work well with Salient for advanced coding for additional parameters?
2. What do you use to do those amazing videos as a promo for Salient? Do you use only FCP or something additional for the text?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=RDC1ZFFhZq83. I am going to do an update on Salient since you’ve added so many wonderful things to it and I wanted to see if you would be open to a 15-30 minute interview or even 10 minute if thats all you have. My channel has about 1600 subs now and my other Salient video has about 5,000 views so people seem to be interested.
Let me know man I’d love to jump on a google call and have a great conversation on the amazing Salient theme.
Hey lnbbroductions! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well 
1. Unfortunately I don’t have specific reccomendations for this, however if you run into any issues integrating a plugin for this just let me know so I can look into it
2. I use After Effects for all the video promos, the last one also made use of this for the text
3. Thanks for the offer! I’ll try and set some time aside for something like that after the next release comes out 
Cheers & happy new year!
Dude you always use the coolest stuff. Thank you for the link to the after effects tool.
Yes! Right on. I am going to do a review of the current front end release that you did.
Which I believe will change the game and a lot of people have been asking questions about the current theme on my channel so I can’t wait for the day where we can give them “inside” info on whats to come and ask you about your story and such. 
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Why is it so difficult to use Revolution Slider + Transparent header? all the custom code, extra CSS, etc and I still can’t get it to work.
I also can’t find where to change the default top & bottom padding of menu items to tighten up that spacing.
Hey rockstar47,
1. When using the option to force the transparent header effect available in the page header metabox, there should be no issue https://ibb.co/S3913wc Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look why that’s not working on your setup
2. You can adjust the padding top/bottom padding in the Salient options panel > header navigation > logo & general styling with the “Header Padding” field. (It will default to “28” when left blank)
Hi,
I have to make some changes in the file: salient/nectar/helpers/portfolio.php
When I make my changes in the parent theme, it works fine, but when I try it in my child theme: salient-child/nectar/helpers/portfolio.php nothing happens !
FYI, my function file in my child theme is:
<?php add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘salient_child_enqueue_styles’); function salient_child_enqueue_styles() { $nectar_theme_version = nectar_get_theme_version(); wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ’/style.css’, array(‘font-awesome’), $nectar_theme_version); if ( is_rtl() ) wp_enqueue_style( ‘salient-rtl’, get_template_directory_uri(). ’/rtl.css’, array(), ‘1’, ‘screen’ ); } ?>
Any idea ? Thanks in advance … and happy new year ! 
Hey wordpress-man, if you just copy that file into the child theme it will not get loaded. However you can copy individual functions from the file into your child theme functions.php e.g. nectar_portfolio_register, nectar_add_portfolio_taxonomies etc and modify them there.
Happy new years to you as well! 
Hi, and thanks for answering so fast !
I tried what you said, copying the “project_single_controls()” function that I modified, but I get that error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare project_single_controls() (previously declared in /home/avcreati/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient-child/functions.php:21) in /home/avcreati/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/helpers/portfolio.php on line 164
I guess that’s just because I copied the function “as is”.
Could you be just a little bit more specific ?
Thanks in advance 
Hey wordpress-man, I just located an issue with that specific function in the parent theme which would prevent a child theme override. I’ve added the fix to the current beta to make it into the next release, however to sort it for now, open up the nectar/helpers/portfolio.php file and change the line:
if ( ! function_exists( 'project_single_control' ) ) {
to be
if ( ! function_exists( 'project_single_controls' ) ) {
the word “controls” is missing the “s” in the current version.
Cheers 
Hi !
Yes, I noticed that, but as I’m not a coder, I was not sure if that was voluntary or a mistake.
I guess that we helped each other on that case 
Thanks, it now works perfectly with no errors !
Glad to hear wordpress-man! 
Cheers
