I downloaded this theme for my wordpress website, but whenever I want to install it I have the following error message:
>> Fatal error: Class ‘WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Row’ not found in /homepages/9/d434192448/htdocs/stephanie-schneider/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php on line 399 <
Hey StephanieSchneider,
Are you sure the full theme was installed? Also, prior to activating it check to ensure it’s not a plugin conflict by disabling any you might have to rule that out.
Cheers
Is there a way to change the text “View larger”? I want to translate it to dutch.
Hey eddyfever,
Yes – that string is located inside of the .po file so you should be able to get at it from your desired translation plugin. Are you not finding it in there?
Hi,
I want to place copyrights, social icons and my links in one row in the footer. Right now social icons are going on down row. I suppose it is something related to floating. Is it possible to float all divs next each other?
Here is screenshot – https://www.dropbox.com/s/0f3u54qc9ndsjf3/Screenshot%202014-07-25%2020.42.42.png
Hey plgospodinov,
It seems from your live URL you’re sorted this – the answer would indeed have just been to use the correct columns widths for each section in order to not surpass 100% which would cause the line breaking,
Cheers
Hey guys,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you all. Salient is a wonderland. Overall product support has just been unreal. This has been by far the company’s best purchasing decision in a long time.
Of course updating Salient in a little while. Can’t wait to fiddle around with the new features. This just keeps getting better and better.
- Is there any way we could get a little “new Salient build available” notification somewhere? I tend to visit the changelog every now and then and it would be neat to get notified on updates proactively.
- Is there any plan to include automatic Schema HTML markup features in future releases? I would love to get some additional SEO real estate when people search for my site.
All the best!
Hey Molkavi, thanks a lot!
1. Emails are sent for every update – you can check the box to “Get notified by email if this item is updated” in your downloads tab in ThemeForest to receive notifications.
2. It’s on the wishlist 
Cheers
Sorry – I just noticed I purchased this on a different account. Posting again so that the “purchased” tag shows up.

Hey,
Love the Salient theme, but I’m having a few issues I was hoping you could possibly shed some light on.
1. I’ve noticed that I can’t link to specific tabs using ?tab= when the tabs have heavier content (i.e. images, videos etc).
example: http://dev.techweek.com/press
2. Portfolios don’t seem to work in tabs as well – We are trying to have a page with 5 tabs – each with it’s own filterable portfolio
example: http://dev.techweek.com/speakers/
3. Sub-categories don’t seem to work once you add more then one portfolio to a page. From what I’ve noticed the portfolios start reading the wrong sub-categories and start acting up oddly.
Are any of these issues you have encountered before or think you cold shed some light on how we could go about fixing?
Thanks!

Hey luke_guild!
1. That’s odd – if you can allow me access into your site I’d be glad to check on why that would be happening further.
2. Try to add this line:$(window).trigger('resize');
into this function in the init.js file located in the js folder:
$('body').on('click','.tabbed > ul li a',function(){
(add the line right before the line return false; )
3. Currently only one filterable portfolio can exist on a page and work correctly – this is a known limitation that I intend on removing

Hello,
I have bought Salient. In my file I have a zip file named “salient-child-theme”. What is this ?
Thks a lot, Fabrice.
Hey Fabrice,
That’s a sample child theme that you would only use if you intend on modding the theme itself – if you’re unfamiliar on what child themes are, here’s a good resource http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/
Cheers
Hello, I really want to buy your beautiful theme. One question open – does it necessarily require flash?
Thanks a lot for your help! Best, Sonja
Hey Sonja!
Flash actually isn’t used at all in the theme
Cheers
cool – thanks for the very quick answer!!
You’re welcome
Is it possible to have the menu links scroll to an section of the page? In other words a one page layout but still keeping the menu. Or is it possible to add ids to sections of your page? (You only seem to be able to add class)
Best, Johan
Hey Johan,
You’d have to add the id’s in the text tab on your editor in order to get the anchor links working – once you set the anchors, you can use a plugin like this for the animated scrolling: http://wordpress.org/plugins/page-scroll-to-id/
Cheers
Thanks, I must say you have fantastic support. Me and my business partnes has bought the theme and it works fantastic. I have a follow-up question regarding the #id. I am using page scroll to but am i able to set an id on a row in te text tab? Can you provide an example of that? Right now I have tried [vc_row id=”top” type=”in_container”] but it doesn’t seem to work. The reason I don’t want to use scroll to a text element and then put offset is that retina screens use a different pixel ratio and therefore will be scrolled to a different position.
Best, Johan
Hey again!
You can’t set the id like that, but inside of a text element (in the text tab) you could just add this<div id="top"> </div>
Sorry – forgot to check to the email box – please reply to this…
Hi there,
I have my blog posts listed on my home page in order by most recent posts, but I want to backdate some posts and then for the order to also be updated, however this doesn’t seem to work.
When I change the date of the post the post still appears with the last one at the top even though the date is earlier, if you understand?
Is there a way to order the posts according to the date?
Thanks Jim
Hey Jim,
The posts in the recent posts/blog elements should already be ordered based on the dates set – is there anyway for you to share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers

hey
I’ve uploaded the dummy data for Ascend which is functioning except all the fonts and colour schemes do not mirror the demo – do I need to alter these individually or should this be automatically changed on importing the dummy data?
thanks
Hey stsw!
the theme options demo file is also included in that same ascend dummy data folder – just add that into the Import/Export tab inside of your theme options and it’ll look the same as the live demo

hi, when ordering in woocommerce and not filling out a required field the page scrolls up (but not enough) to show error message. Is there a way to move the notices to the bottom of the page?
Hey jerweb!
This would be a question better suited for the WooCommerce forums since unfortunately Salient isn’t in direct control over most of the layout of within the plugins pages
Cheers
First off thanks for the amazing support. I’ve been able to figure most things out through your responses to others. I have two questions which I have been unable to figure out and would like your recommendation on the best way to go about it.
QUESTION 1 I would like to have a compact Recent Posts element on a page that pulls from a specific category of the blog(“News” for example). I would like it to look like the Recent Posts Extra element in the Widgets section(basically small thumbnails with title and meta) in a stacked configuration. Any suggestion on how to go about this?
QUESTION 2 Is there any way to add create more widgets. Like if I wanted a page sidebar 2, page sidebar 3 etc.
Hey astroluxxe!
1. Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible without modifying the recent posts functions itself inside of shortcode-processing.php (located in the nectar/tinymce directory)
2. Yes – you can use a plugin for that such as: https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ or http://www.woothemes.com/woosidebars/
Cheers
Good Morning,
Is there a way to remove the navigation menu? I tried to login to the support forum, but it won’t allow me to. I know I’ve registered in the past, but it says my both of the e-mail addresses I use on a regular basis cannot be found.
This was purchased for a company I work for, and I’m not sure what account we purchased the theme through.
Hey gregschaible,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#header-outer, #header-space {
display: none!important;
}
Cheers
Your theme looks great. Is it possible to add a third button to the nectar slider? How easy would this be to do?
Thanks!
Hey worldwidewhirlwind!
You’d have to add it via the caption field
Hi I could do with a little assistance please!
I have a nectar slider and would like to have a logo on top of the text in the slider. And an icon below the caption.
So its like
- Logo
- Header
- Caption
- Icon
Any help would be awesome!
Cheers!
Joe
Hey Joe!
The only way this would be possible is if you entered the logo img and heading tag into the caption field itself and didn’t fill out the default heading input field. Here’s an example of what you would put into your caption field:
<img src="your-logo.png" /> <h2>Your heading</h2> your captions text
Cheers
Hi,
I add some slides to Home Slider i set main page as template -> HOME SLIDER ONLY.
I see slider on top of web page but i can’t see slides. I see only progress bar on black background. Please help
Regards,
Hey lpgtech!
Can you share your URL so I can take a look?
Cheers
Hey !
I fixed this. I didn’t set Image Background to home slide.
Regards !
Hey – glad to hear you got it
Hey Phil,
Whats the best approach to modify a short code. Can we inherit it to modify our own. Also is there a way to add a new short code.
Thanks,
Heyzaftab021,
You can modify the shortcodes via the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory – if you wanted to add your own you’d just need to declare them in the tinymce-class.php file in the same directory
Cheers
Hey ThemeNectar,
I’m loving the Salient theme, so in-depth in comparison to other themes out there. I just have a question regarding the Nectar Slider. Is it possible to have the slide heading and caption appear below the image in its own area so it appears like this.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
Thanks Paul!
Unfortunately that kind of styling wouldn’t be easily achievable without a good deal of css modifications. If you needed that done, I’m sure someone at Envato studio would be able to assist for a reasonable fee
Cheers
