Am I the only one that hasn’t received an email about an update? Why can’t I just update the theme through the wordpress updater like every normal update??
Some help would be great.
Hey CSMurphy,
you should have received an email on whatever email address you have associated with this account – perhaps it ended up in your spam? Whatever the case, you don’t need that specific download link from the email, it really just serves as a notification. All you need to do is download the theme again from ThemeForest to gain the new version.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to by updating the theme through the updater like “every normal update” – Salient is not on the WordPress repository and it’s impossible to get an update like that from your admin panel alone unless I implemented another 3rd party script to look for them (a good deal of authors opt out of that for the possible conflicts and extra weight it brings). After you download the theme again from there, you just need to delete your current theme and upload the new one. All of your sites content and theme settings will persist through that 
Cheers
Hello team from Theme nectar, in V2.6.5 I disabled the skillbarnumbers by adding this:
.bar_graph li span strong { display: none!important; }
now in V3.0 its back again 
What would be the new code?
Thanks!
Found it on my own 
.nectar-progress-bar span strong { display: none!important; }
Hey petermannheim! I’m glad you found the answer
Cheers!
Hi. Great update yet again. What a great theme, but I installed the latest update and it has changed my typography to a san serif font rather than Helvetica that its set to.
Thanks a lot freshlesh3!
That’s strange – what version were you coming from? 3.0 specifically didn’t change anything with the typography panel that should have done that.
Cheers!
I don’t remember the version but its fairly recent. The Typography wont change no matter what I try. Cleared cache, deactivated and reactivated all plugins, nothing currently will allow me to edit my fonts.
Interesting – could you provide me with a log in to check on it for you? If so please open a private ticket on the support forum in regards: themenectar.ticksy.com
Cheers!
I purchase many templates/plugin on Envato, and ThemeNectar is definitely the best author here IMHO…
Salient is well designed/coded, it is complete (lots and LOTS of functionalities), easy to use… and best of all, support is so awesome you won’t believe it ... V3.0 is out and you do not only get bug fixes, but true additions (page builder!!)
Thank you !!!
becomm, thanks so much for taking the time to write that – you made my night
Big cheers!
Had a few issues after updating, cleared the cache and all is well again. I see some are having the same issues so this may work for you also.
Excellent job on the update ThemeNectar. 
Thanks a lot goforstu!
And thanks for pointing that out for others – for an update of this caliber, clearing your cache is a great idea for legacy users
Cheers!
Hello, I have a quick question. I am very interested in your theme for its functionality and features. I have a site in development that currently uses another theme. Is it possible I can create a header that looks like this on salient?
http://stop-starvation.com/?page_id=4976Hey shamim56!
There’s no options to add icons to the header items yet and that button would also require a custom menu item (not too hard though).
Cheers!
Hello I have a problem after updating sailent theme. When I try to enter in the admin menu I get folowing error line: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes)..
Hey Shanno! Please refer to this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
Cheers
Just did the lastest update….some sort of theme watermark shows up now in the dashboard…...how do I disable that…it is freaking out the client.
Hey vegasphotog,
you just need to clear your cache – you’re seeing the new .svg theme options icon and probably have the old stylesheet cached which doesn’t have the rules for its correct size.
Cheers!
How do you upgrade from 2.5 to v3 ?
ignore this one, it’s just like every other upgrade
Yes, the update process is still the same for anyone else wondering.
Cheers MisterT1!
Hello. Thanks for the awesome page builder! Great work. A few questions. 1) Is it possible to add a hue color to the google map? If not, is there a way to manually set the color. That seems to be the only thing missing in the map. 2) Is it possible to adjust the overall width of the template, to maybe 1200px, without affecting the responsive sizing. 3) Is there a way to hide certain elements in mobile view? 4) Any plans to add a Load More to the portfolio and blog pages? 5) Any chance of styling for gravity forms and mymail newsletter? 6) Will there be an option to use other sliders, like Layer or Rev Slider? Regards!
Hey brians_s!
1. Here you go: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/136845/search/
2. Yes, just enter this into your custom css box:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1300px) {
.container {
max-width: 1200px!important;
}
}
3. Yes, you can target specific elements in the mobile only viewport like this:
@media only screen
and (min-width : 1px) and (max-width : 1000px) {
.your-element {
display: none!important;
}
}
4. That is on the wishlist
5. Gravity forms should inherit the same form styling that is included by default like this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/contact/
6. You should already be able to use them in theme, they’re just not included by default.
Cheers!
Thanks Nectar for the quick responses. Awesome support!
You’re very welcome
Hi. It’s fixed the speed performance issues in google speed test page in salient 3.0?
Hey mzuker, I did indeed set some time aside for general code improvements, but there’s still no option to auto minify all the assets – will definitely consider this for the next version though
Please refer to the changelog for all the additions/changes
Cheers!
Any advice on a compatible lightbox (for galleries and image links) plugin that is also responsive?
Hey konsfik, the latest release offers a new gallery element in the page builder which can link each image to a lightbox. There’s more styles on the way for that element too
cool, thanks! I will update soon to check it out.
Cheers
Where are the update files? Should the theme prompt for an update?
Juistevorm can you fill us in as to where the link is?
Hey CSMurphy – All you need to do is download the theme again from ThemeForest, it will be the new version
Cheers
Just checked out the video and demo site for Salient 3.0. Game changer. You’ve just made almost all other WP themes obsolete.
Really glad you dig it velocity_uk
Where can I download the update files?
I found the download link
@CSMurphy: I just received an e-mail with a download link.
Hey juistevorm! Glad to hear you found it – and for anyone else wondering, downloading the theme again from ThemeForest will yield the latest release
Cheers
What’s the update process? Do I just let the files overwrite in the Salient dir?
Hey halowse!
You just need to delete the old version first and then upload the new – FTP or the admin dashboard will both work
Not sure if you noticed this but after updating (while using a child theme). There is the outline of a big giant crown icon in the dashboard near the end of the menu items.
Very excited for this new update as well.
Looks like it was a Salient watermark added to the dashboard for 3.8. I can see the code for it in the defaults.php file.
I’m not 100% ok with a watermark in the dashboard (client sake) and am not sure what’s the best way to remove it. Can we just hook in from our child themes and remove the dashboard watermark?
Actually as I look at this… is this watermark/icon supposed to be beside the theme menu “Salient” in the dashboard; because that area is blank…
Update: That is what it was and all of a sudden… it just magically resolved itself o_O
Hey Syrehn! you just needed to clear your cache (or wait until it got cleared over time like you did) – you’re were seeing the new .svg theme options icon and had the old stylesheet cached which doesn’t have the rules for its correct size.
Cheers!
I have a dream !!! Nectar page builder 
The best theme for me !
Thank you Nectar for this V3 
You’re very welcome youyou78! It’s been in development for a while now so I’m very excited I was able to release it finally
LOVE 3.0! awesome work sir!
Thanks a lot mikedubs!
Hello, presales questions.
1.- Can I have a different background per page that affects the header too so header and first block of content has the same background color as in http://www.mixd.co.uk
2.- Support response time, do you have some figures on that, some approximate (hours, 1 day, 2 days…)
3.- In the page builder is it possible to set divs to point additional CSS?
Many thanks
Jorge
Hey Jorge!
1. Yes, but you’d need to write the custom css on every page t change the header to your desired color.
2. Quick questions on are usually get answered within 24 hours and the support forum is 1- 2 days.
3. Yes, every row has the option to use a custom css class so you can target every element individually on your page if you wanted to
Cheers!
