Hi,
I am having major problems with the salient update. Ever since v10.5 (the big update) I have not been able to update my site at all. The main site is working fully and still on version. 10.0.5.
I have today created a staging site, so I can show you the problems without fear of having to revert to a back up before too many people see it! The staging site is now on the latest version which was released today 11.0.2.
Here is a link to the main (working site)
https://discovergrandprix.comStaging site:
https://staging3.discovergrandprix.comThe main problems as you can probably see immediately are the navigation bar, the font colours and the font type.
The main nav bar seems to hide behind the secondary bar. If I temporarily disable the secondary nav bar, all the padding disappears from the main nav bar.
Things I have tried to fix this already are;
1. deleting all custom css in the salient options 2. commenting out all custom css in the style.css in the child theme 3. reverting to the original functions.php file, and also any other files. (So much so that it is basically operating like there is no child theme) 4. cleared cache with plugins. 5. De-activated all plugins one by one.
The other issues are also causing frustration. The icons are just coloured blobs. The fonts have changed font type and colour.
I can’t see why?!
Perhaps you could help?
best
John

Hi, I have now disabled the plugin which you are referring to. I still have WT3 Total cache active and have purged all cache. It’s waiting for you to review. Thanks.
Thanks John,
A few things:
1. The dynamic CSS salient writes is ending up with <style> tags inside of the CSS file itself, which is causing the styling to fail and consequently causing the header to have no padding: https://discovergp-wg4wgvh9z.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/themes/salient/css/salient-dynamic-styles.css?ver=90241Salient does not insert style tags at all for the dynamic CSS anymore, so I would assume that the dynamic CSS files in your setup (salient/css/colors.php, /css/custom.php etc.) are using old versions somehow whether it be through a child theme or from hard server caching.
2. Some CSS files which Salient now relies on, such as the grid-system.css, are showing 404 in your setup: https://ibb.co/xJvH22K
3. The Salient page builder CSS is loading a previous version
I can see that all the files are still coming through a mix of Cloudflare and a CDN (netdna). It’s possible that in addition to child theme conflicts, old files are simply cached in those locations thus giving your front end a mix of old and new files.
Ok, thank you for your help. That will guide me to fix it. I think the best solution may be to re-build the site by installing the twenty twenty theme and deleting the current Salient theme. Then through the envato plugin download the latest version of salient. The salient settings will likely persist in the database and then I can just re-build anything from there – hopefully safe in the knowledge that it is using the new code base.
You’re welcome John, the settings will indeed persist so it sounds like a good plan. Please also remember to delete the Salient plugins as well so that fresh versions can be redownloaded. Let me know if you run into trouble so I can assist.
Cheers
Ok, I have done what I said above and I think I solved most issues that I had. One major issue / stumbling block I have encountered, which I need help with please is the child theme CSS. I simply have no idea how it is structured anymore. I would prefer to manage custom css through the child theme, but the only way I can get it to work is through the salient theme panel. So I have currently deleted all child theme css files and only done custom css through the salient options panel. But… How do I go back to using it through a child theme? What am I doing wrong here?
Hey John, the included child theme is still loading the style.css file from the root of the child theme. If that’s not working on your end, please Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary login so I can take a look https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Hello, I need to create a different style on the site, with the slider before the header, is it possible?
See the layout at the link: https://smartsites.top/caminhosgerais/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/LAYOUT-TURISMO.pdf
Hey metropoleonline, There is no option to do that in Salient by default. However, you could halfway achieve it by using the “No header” page template and then making use of the page submenu element below your slider on the page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-promo/page-submenu/

Hey online-marketsquare, we released an update earlier this morning that should fix it. Make sure you update all the Salient plugins as listed in the changelog after you do the theme update: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

Captions in Nectar Slider doesn’t display on mobile devices. Why? something related to JS functions?
Hey segurihost, Please share your URL in regards so I can take a look to assist
Thanks in advance

Hi ! it’s been a while i see some woocomerce templates are outdated. I have no idea how to fix this problem. The theme version is 11.0.1. Can you help ? Should i renew my support subscription ? (Important point : Can this problem be caused by my outdated SQL database ?) Thank you so much for your beautiful work !
Hey honoliscious! It will be out as soon as WPBakery releases their upcoming minor release (which was slated for the end of this week).
There is no conflict from the two WooCommerce files which are now out of date, the changes that they received are very minor and will not affect your store. If you’d like a copy of the beta, Please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Thank you for your reply ! I did not quite understood the problem (as i’m not a dev) I will contact my host first and see if he can explain me the basis of the problem.
Best regards 
Sounds good honoliscious 
When I have 2 buttons next to each other, how do I give them some space between each other? Screenshots are here: https://firstwestfinancial.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Screen-Shot-2019-12-12-at-1.58.22-PM-scaled.png and the backend is here: https://firstwestfinancial.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Screen-Shot-2019-12-12-at-2.00.11-PM-scaled.png
Hey worldwidedesign, there is a field for “Margin” when editing any button element. Simply add a right or left margin to the buttons for your desired spacing.
Cheers
Hi, I received an email to extend support for $11.25 (which exp on the 14th), however the price keeps showing up as $30 in the cart. Is there someone who can help? Thanks
Hey superhealth, was that email sent out during the Cyber Holiday pricing? Salient was selling for $30 for a couple of weeks, and the support price was also on sale during that since it’s based on a percentage of the theme price.
Hi,
I am having a bit of trouble with my masonry image gallery. When I preview it while working on my portfolio item it looks fine, however when I go to the live page the images overlap each other. The regular sized ones overlap the portrait sized ones. If you go to this link https://tiffdemo.hostserve.net/ChrisBradley/portfolio/bathroom-renovations/ you should see what I am referring too. It also fixes itself if I inspect the element, it is very odd (but if I refresh the page it shows the error again). Any ideas??
Thanks for your time and help.
Regards, Tifffany
Hey Tifffany, please disable the lazy loading option within wp smushit or ignore the specific pages where you’re using the image grid. The javascript calculations are failing since the image sizing data is not present when the page loads.
Hi, just curious if the next version of Salient will have better support for custom post types?
Hey mrittman, the next update is not slated to add additional functionality for custom post types. If you have specific requests regarding them, kindly let me know.
Cheers
Hello ThemeNectar. We are currently running Salient 11.0.1 with WooCommerce 3.8.1 and WooCommerce Square 2.0.7. My dashboard says has a message “your theme (Salient Child Theme) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.” I understand that a Salient Theme Update will be released soon to be compatible with Woocommerce Version 3.8 . Do you know when this update will be available?

Hey godsky, That error is related to the new WordPress update, 5.3.1. We just released an update for Salient to correct it. Make sure you update all the Salient plugins as listed in the changelog after you do the theme update: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

I’m using the “Salient Page Builder Optimized” theme in “Popup Maker.” Can I use “Salient Templates”? Or “Nectar Elements”: Split Line Heading, Highlighted Text, Button, Icon, … etc.
Hey liquidforce, When you add your popup there will be a WPBakery Page Builder to edit the popup contents
Thank you for your quick reply. However, I already made a pop-up with WPBakery. http://13.125.187.75/popup.jpg
I left more details here. https://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/2241830
Add Element > Content, Structure (Text Block with Text, Custom Heading) works. but Add Element > Natural Elements (Spillit Line Heading, Highlighted Text) doesn’t work.
It’s a test page. http://13.125.187.75 Custom Heading is displayed well, and Highlighted Text is not displayed.
Hey liquidforce, I have replicated the issue on my end only when using the “Fullscreen Rows” option. It’s occurring due to the animation trigger points being bound in a different manner when using that page option. On other pages, it should work if you run a test. I’ve noted to investigate possible solutions, however for now when using the Fullscreen Rows, you would have to use only non-animated elements in the modal
Thank you for your quick reply. 
You’re welcome 
Im looking into renewing support but I figured i’d run something by you in the meantime. I’m having an issue across multiple websites where whole sections are overlapping on load of the page. When I refresh or resize the browser it goes away. If you go to https://www.marcosmedical.com/ one of our clients, you will see the testimonial section will over lap the bios when you hit the site. Im also getting this issue on a few other sites. Thoughts?
Hey mdmonthly, that issue is occurring due to the third party lazy loading from wp smushit, which is affecting the two images in the “Our providers” section. This can be corrected by disabling the lazy loading option, or by simply updating Salient to the current release. Please see our update guide in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/

Hola estimados genios de Salient, su tema es espectacular!! Acá les dejo un recomendación para esta próxima actualización que están por lanzar, espero les sirva… Resulta que al intentar cambiar el tamaño de la tipografía de los botones desde Salient->Typography->Nectar Specific elements no se puede conseguir ya que por ejemplo, el atributo “font-size” de la clase .nectar-button.medium es sobrescrito por la herencia de body .nectar-button.medium, calculo que porque la etiqueta padre del span es a y tiene estos atributos. Por favor disculpen antes que nada mi comentario, quizás es una tontería, soy muy novato en esto y ojala sume el comentario! Saludos y feliz navidad!
Hey Jony_Bravo!
Thanks for the request – it’s been noted 
Cheers
Hi Salient guys! When using full page scroll, is it possible to rename the footer anchor? Currently the footer is named /#%20 – was hoping to name it “bottom” or something else. thanks!!!
Hey brianlichty!
As of now, the file salient/js/elements/nectar-full-page-rows.js would need to be modified at this line:
.attr('data-anchor',' ')
I’ve noted to make this editable in a future update
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar,
If you could please visit: https://dev-protectoceansnew.pantheonsite.io/expeditions/grid/For the image gallery grid, how can I display the image caption when viewing a single image in lightbox/fullscreen. I have content within the caption + description boxes in the media library but no caption is being displayed. Please help.
Best, Alan
Hey Alan,
I’m actually seeing the meta showing in the lightbox: https://ibb.co/MDnG3kv could you let me know what browser you’re using?
Thanks in advance
I choose to add a ModoluBox plugin in to achieve that affect. It was the only way I was able to have the caption display.
Hey Alan,
By default the salient image gallery option titled “Display Title/Caption” will add your image title on the image within the grid itself, and then add the Description field in the lightbox at the bottom
Cheers
Hi, How and where can i change the language for comment section (like ‘Leave a reply’, ‘by’, ‘no comments’, ‘submit comment’ etcetera?
Hey Abbenhues,
Those strings are contained in the theme .pot file, which is located at salient/langauges/nectar_salient_strings.pot. You can use that to generate a .po file in your desired language.
Cheers
Hi ThemeNectar I have a question please I have bought salient under the regular license Can i use the theme for more then one website ? Thanks Lior.
Hey Lior,
You need a separate license for every unique domain you use Salient on: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005597526-I-want-to-make-multiple-end-products-with-the-same-item-how-many-licenses-do-I-need-to-buy-

Would love to have integration with Elementor! Would buy 10/10.
Hey thebrandingirl, thanks for the request
