ThemeNectar, great theme. Question for you, my Visual Composer has stopped working, the short codes are there but the visual drag and drop is gone.
Classic mode: https://i.postimg.cc/vmbS3fk9/VC-Classic-Mode.png
Page Builder: https://i.postimg.cc/8C4X3sgY/VC-Page-Builder-Mode.png
As you can see, the elements are there in Classic Mode, but they are not there within the Page Builder. This effects the entire site.
Hey ebwe,
It looks like you’re using an old version of the theme/page builder. If you’ve updated your WordPress version recently, it would no longer be compatible. To correct the issue, you’ll have to update Salient – take a look through this guide in regards: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/
Cheers
Thank you ThemeNectar. I did all that and nothing changes. Visual Composer still loads with nothing on the front-end, if I go to classic mode I can see the short codes but that is of course more difficult to edit.
https://www.casengineers.com/Hey,
Taking a look at your page source code, I’m still seeing an older version of the theme – “Version: 8.5.3”. Please reach out via the contact form on my author page with a temporary admin login so that I can take a look at the backend: https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
I’ve downloaded and installed the theme a few times now. Do I need to purchase a new license to get v12?
I’m now seeing the current version loading (12.1.0), it was likely just cached on your server. To answer your question, no – you have access to free updates for life with a single license.
Checking out your active plugins, it looks like you also have a copy of the raw version of “Visual Composer” active in addition to the “Salient WPBakery page builder” plugin. Can you please try to deactivate the “visual composer” plugin? If that doesn’t correct the issue, please reach out via email in regards.
Thanks in advance
Thank you ThemeNectar!
You’re welcome, ebwe 
Hello, Can i fix custom css, about 2 column for mobile only.
Example : http://design7it.com/service/
https://prnt.sc/tko3tiCheers
Hey padol7,
Currently you have two inner rows, each with 3 columns (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3). That means on mobile, you can only adjust the layout of each of those two rows separately. In order to have the “4th” column (packaging) sit next to the “3rd” column (infographic) on mobile, they would all need to be within 1 row. i.e. when editing the inner row, you can enter the following for the columns: (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3). Some top margin would then be needed to space the columns apart similar to having a second row.
Hello,
[nectar_cta btn_style=”underline” heading_tag=”h6” text_color=”#ffffff” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” link_text=”Text here” url=”#”]
Can i custom about new tab webstie?
Thanks.
Hey padol7,
You can add the following attribute for that: link_type=”new_tab”
If that’s not working in your setup, you likely need to update your version of the theme and included Salient Core plugin.
Hi guys,
Have been using your theme for a while now.
I wanted to ask you if it’s safe to keep updating Woocommerce & WordPress since the last update was released in May. Should I keep updating WP & my plugins or wait for you guys to update the theme first?
Let me know what’s safe to use!
Thanks a ton
Hey katyp_11,
Yes, Salient is already compatible with the current WordPress and WooCommerce versions 
Cheers
I couldn’t find to replay option under my message! First of all, thank you for your replay. One more question I have
After installing WordPress Is there any option to download pre-build website included with salient
So you mention wp is good enough to use Salient theme But I couldn’t understand child theme If you don’t mind After WordPress can you send me to step by step instruction to the final stage My desire site will be like https://doflab.com/Do i need to instal wpbakery page builder Or only the pre-build website is fine Changing the information
Thank you
Hey vipdental!
That website you shared is using Salient, but it’s not based off of an included demo. You would need to manually create that design by using the included page builder.
Hi there guys,
Just wondering – referring to the full-width megamenu with multiple columns; is there a way to ensure the first column lines up underneath the top level menu item?
I’d like to have the full width option, and have two columns for the menu, but the first doesn’t really properly align under the top item
Thanks
Hey ND81,
Can you please share your URL in regards so that I can take a look at your setup to assist?
Thanks in advance
Sorry for the delayed response; worked out a tidier alternative way to display the menu than I’d had originally.
Incidentally, have you got any plans to introduce the ‘Description’ function into the menus at some point? (Not a biggie…)
Hey ND81,
Actually yes, the next major update will be including a huge overhaul to the submenu/megamenu options, and descriptions will be supported 
Oh wow, that’s super exciting; how far off is the next release? Is the beta mostly stable?
Thanks for all the ongoing development of such an amazing piece of work.
Hey ND81!
The target date is about a month away. The next round of beta send outs will be soon – if you’d like to check it out, please reach out via the contact form on my author page https://themeforest.net/user/themenectar
Got ya, no immediate hurry but I might reach out via a client’s account I manage if they’d like to fasttrack the feature on their site
Exciting! Good luck with the final stretch to next release
Thanks a lot, ND81!

I need to have the title and subtitle on each portfolio item. Is this possible to create this look? Thank you and any help would be much appreciated.
Looking to create for a client. Will purchase a new copy.
Hey muntzdesigns 
Yes, the “Post Grid” element would allow for that design.
Cheers
Can you send me the .css to center the title and description? I tried centering the column but that does not center the portfolio element title and description. See here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/eDu14KrA
Thank you again!!
I was able to complete this above .css – Thank you again for this great theme!
Hey muntzdesigns,
I’m glad to hear 
There should also be an option to control the alignment in the post grid element settings: https://ibb.co/tMRzY0n
Cheers
The CSS code editor says this line is wrong, but it works normally and well:
See more about it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/952861/targeting-only-firefox-with-cssany observation? Can I keep it that way?
Hey ofmarconi,
media queries that are browser specific hacks like that could trigger an invalid warning from CSS syntax highlighting (like the custom CSS box), but it’s nothing to worry about.
Cheers
Hello, I’m using your theme for a while now. I notice on some computers my whole site seems to move to the left by about 2 inches. I’ve checked on different computers and it shows up fine about 70% of the times. Other times if you refresh it moves to the left. Any ideas? Site is oakagent.ca thanks!
Hey bramptonvic,
Have you tried to disable your third party plugins to verify that there’s no conflict? In the meantime, the issue could be solved by adding the following snippet into the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab
.wpb_row.full-width-content {
margin-left: -50vw!important;
width: 100vw!important;
}
Thank you so much! It fixed the problem.
You’re welcome, bramptonvic 
Hi just I’m thinking to implement this salient theme to my individual website which there is no wordpress Which my domain is hosting on inmotion hosting.com Can i put Directly into my domain Cpanel folders
If I purchase! Is there any way to use individually HTML, CSS, and js files for customizations
Please not im, not a web developer I am end-user. Sorry for layman questions Please guide me
Hey vipdental 
You’ll need to install WordPress in your setup in order to use Salient. Here’s a guide for your hosting: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/install-wordpress/
The correct way to modify aspects of a WordPress theme is through the use of a child theme: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
There are no HTML files in Salient, just PHP, CSS and JS.
Cheers
Is there any way to lazy load images on the ‘image gallery’ shortcode (using Image Grid style) and on the portfolios? There isn’t an option for it in settings.
Hey Sean,
As of now there is no option for that element to use lazy loading, but it will likely be added in a future update
Hi There, I have an urgent need for my website called kosaa.ca. It doesnt load at all for logged out users, but works perfectly fine for logged in users.
Is there any specific page(s) where the problem can be observed?
[Request]
Vimeo background in ROW background 
Pls!
With the parameter: ?background=1 to embed without the player

Hey ofmarconi, I’ve noted the request 
Hello, how I can remove icons from Flip boxes and change text color and size? http://betasite.icgrehab.com/early-intervention/ Thank you.
Hey Fixedman,
1. You can remove the icon by selecting the default value ( in fontawesome the first icon is blank ) https://ibb.co/FgB7D70
2. The text color is inherited from the body, but by using the editor you can set the text to any heading which is inherited from your typography settings in the Salient options panel > typography > general HTML elements.
To change the coloring, you can use the following:
.flip-box-back .inner {
color: #ff1d1d;
}
.flip-box-front .inner {
color: #ff1d1d;
}
Cheers
but when I change it to H3 it changes color to black.
Hey Fixedman,
Here’s some CSS for that:
.flip-box-front .inner h3 {
color: #ff1d1d;
}
Hello, it is still black http://betasite.icgrehab.com/early-intervention/
Hey,
Checking your page source it seems that the snippet you pasted in is missing the period at the beginning. i.e. in your CSS box, you’ll need to change:
flip-box-front .inner h3 {
color: #0055a5;
}
to
.flip-box-front .inner h3 {
color: #0055a5;
}
It works! thank you.
You’re welcome, Fixedman 
It would be amazing to see an update to the magazine demo, or maybe a new magazine layout.
Adding “dark mode” would be amazing in the future.
Thanks 
Hey myuption,
Thanks for the requests 
Hi, I am keen to purchase your theme. Does it automatically cache any videos in the page header? Does the theme incorporate any optimization options?
Hey VRams,
1. Asset caching is not handled through the theme itself, as that’s related to your server/CDN. We recommend using plugins such as W3 Total to assist with that.
2. Salient splits up the CSS to reduce the overall amount of rules loaded based on the elements in use on a page. However, performance plugins are still recommended for minification/concatenation/caching
How to change the background of the rollbox?
Hey tuka_85,
add this into the custom css box located in the Salient options panel > general settings > css/script related tab:
#ajax-content-wrap {
background-color: #000;
}
Hi when is the next update due?
Hey Wobblefin, The next beta will begin public testing later this month. We hope to deliver the next Major release the following month
Cheers
How can I hide with CSS the “Pull Right” Top Navigation Menu when the menu transforms to the Mobile Canvas Menu. Thank you.
Hey Krissalle,
You’ll need to copy the following file into your child theme to modify that: salient/includes/partials/footer/off-canvas-navigation.php file
The section to remove is: https://pastebin.com/0zbbPC7k
Cheers
Is there a way to achieve this with the new updates to Salient? Could you point me to the documentation if so?
http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-frostwave/portfolio-fullwidth-default/Hey taccaralanay,
That portfolio style has not changed and still exists in Salient. You just need to add the portfolio element to your page in the page builder and select “full width” for the layout: https://ibb.co/zRKJLHB
Cheers
Hey there… please assist. I THINK/HOPE this is the the last time I’ll have to bug you guys, lol.
How can I solve this? I can’t figure out what to target. https://bit.ly/2WmbCl1 Under the NEWS, BLOG & PRESS area.
Here’s a screenshot of what I see: https://bit.ly/3h5fkHC
Thank you.
Hey arteest 
You can add in the following to modify that:
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-post-grid[data-columns] > div .item-meta-extra {
width: 100%;
}
Cheers
Thank you. I added the CSS but, unfortunately, that didn’t remedy my issue.
Please try to remove the spaces in the snippet rule like so:
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-post-grid[data-columns] > div .item-meta-extra {width:100%;}
Ha! That did it. For some reason, copy/paste was adding extra garbage. All is well now!
Any idea why that happened (the short excerpt width)? Also, for now I only added the CSS to the 1 page. Would it be wise to add it to the General CSS area instead???
Also, would the excerpt title share the same code? It did not conform.
Hey arteest,
The width gets capped to 75% when setting the columns in the post grid to 1 (expecting that it would be taking up a larger width in the content area). If you’re using that setup on more than one page, you could switch the snippet to the theme options panel to have it load globally. However, if you only need it on that one page there’s no need to move it.
If you want to alter the width for both, you can switch the snippet to:
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-post-grid[data-columns] > div .item-meta-extra,
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-post-grid[data-columns] > div .post-heading {width:100%;}
Thank you sir. I applied the code and the excerpt area works. The title area still didn’t expand though.
Sorry about that! You’ll also need this:
#ajax-content-wrap .nectar-post-grid .nectar-post-grid-item .content .post-heading {
max-width: 100%;
}
That fixed it! Thank you all so much.
You’re welcome, arteest
