Hi I have a question, great theme by the way. I was looking at the mobile layout of the site..so my question is, would i be able to have just one video slider for desktop and 3-4 image sliders for mobile using the same slider?
Hey keyannam!
Yes – but it would require some custom css to hide/display the appropriate slider based on the viewport.
Cheers
Hi
I’m trying to add multiple maps to my site. (one on each page for different locations)
I’m using VC to input the map which works but the map marker does not show
Is it possible to have multiple maps and marker locations using VC or will I need to add all locations within the theme settings and just adjust the map view on each page?
Thanks
Theme is 4.5.2
Ignore me ! Just read the changelog!
Cheers 
Hi again!
Another small issue, sorry
My question is about the updates… I’m using a child theme, which contains my own style css and a footer.
Problem is that I’m also using a fifth “accent” color, for that I’ve modified the color.css and the options-init.php files (into salient option and folders)
Of course, each time I’m making an update, I have to re-update the files, which is a little bit annoying. (and yes, I’m kind of lazy… ^^)
So, I was wondering if it’s possible to add thos files somehow in my child theme folder? (I’ve tried to copy the folders and files exactly like the parent theme but it doesn’t seems to work)
Also, I don’t really understand how to use the dynamic-combined.css?
Again, thanks a lot!
Hey!
If you want to place those files in the child theme css directory – open the functions.php file and changeget_template_directory_uri()to
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()for the desired files
Cheers
Every single time I update this theme my website breaks. Why? Why is it always so painful to update? I appreciate the fact that you are updating, and I appreciate the fact that this is an awesome theme, but every single time it updates, I have broken stuff everywhere. It will take longer for me to describe all the things that have broken than just to go in and fix it, but I just want you to know I am feeling pain from this.
Again with this visual editor crap! Update to the latest version, then go into an endless loop of it needing to be updated. Note: I haven’t done anything to my site in the last several updates, so why am I going through this waste of time AGAIN?
Why did you change all the icons? Why are old icons removed? I was using them!!!!
I had to delete all my pages and start again. Seriously, this Visual Editor is the worst framework I have ever used, and I have used a lot. Every single update it breaks my layout, it is crap.
I cannot believe this, I have deleted every single row and element on my page, and still this stupid Visual Editor is stuck in its stupid update loop. This is the pits.
This update is horrible, the text with icons is horrible. I seriously wasn’t looking forward to an allnighter tonight, I need to be moving house. In fact, f this s, I’m just restoring my back-up to the last version and you can advise me how to update without going through this nightmare .
So I am now deleting my entire site and restoring a back-up. I want you to know that I have updated about 10 different sites using different themes to WP 4 lately, and I haven’t encountered one issue until now with this theme. I really think you need to rethink the upgrade process, it isn’t good.
I would like clear instructions on how to upgrade so everything remains the same, thanks!
Now my blog keeps breaking! All I am doing is using a default page template and adding your blog shortcode.
OK, so going through this update process the 2nd time, my other pages are not broken now. It’s because this time I deleted both the Salient theme AND the Salient Child theme I was using. I’m beginning to think Child themes are more problems than they are worth. I mean if I just export the themes options and custom CSS before each update and import after, why would I even need a child theme?
One Press Social Locker (from Envato) is now not compatible with your theme. I really would like this to work again!
Hey Design-Kink,
the only known issue with the blog at this moment is the pagination feature not working – there’s a minor update coming out tonight which will sort that and the other reported bugs. As far as child themes go – it really just depends on what you’re putting in them. If you’re only doing css mods it might not be necessary. The power of them comes from being able to alter functions and template files
hi, i have a conflict with a plugin and your gmap. could you please tell me how I can disable the gmap in all the site? thanks
Hey Jagoda,
open the map.js file located in the js folder and delete this line:
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');
Hi,
We are using this theme for quite some time now but for some reason there is a big white space between our slider and the content and there are some – pixels on it but we can’t find the source of the problem.
Thanks
Hey thejj,
if you can share your URL I’d be glad to check out why that may be
Cheers
Hi
I made a ticket on the themenectar website and I got it fixed already by putting the <?php putRevSlider( “slider name” ) ?> in the <home_wrap> div
Thanks
Good to hear
updated to 4.8, now my website is totally stuffed
Hey pixelmagicmedia, ensure you don’t have a conflicting child theme and that you resave your theme options if you were using the external dynamic css option.
no child themes, no external css, just a stuffed website
Please share your URL so I can take a look
let me know why when updating it has broken the site
Have you downgraded? I can’t see anything jumping out as an obvious issue
Hello, the “tiles” for the portfolio element through the Nectar slider seems to be breaking up, leaving gaps and not aligning.
I tested on a 15, 19, 21, & 24 inch screen. How do we fix this?
My URL is: http://www.zaheerall.am/
Thanks.

Hi TN,
Is it possible to copy/paste VisualComposer elements from one page/post to another (without going to the Classic editor).
Cheers, Henry
Also posted this Q to WPbakery and received this answer:
Hi, yes, we are aware of such feature request – it is already in our Backlog and we are thinking of implementing it in the future releases. In the meantime you can check this add-on: http://vc.wpbakery.com/addons/clipboard-addon/ which you may find useful. Thanks for your request.
Hey Henry!
Thanks for suggestion – if WPBakery implements that I will also adapt it
Cheers
Also did you update Font-Awesome in the end or not?
Rich
Yes
Was looking for a mouse icon and 500px can’t see either though
Hey bud, on the new update, didn’t you say there was a new layout option for displaying blog posts in VC? Where is that please?
Hey, There’s new options for the recent posts element
Hi there,
I’m using the categories widget in my sidebar, with “Show post counts” checked.
There is an alignment issue. The number is displayed below the listed topic and line separator.
Is there a fix to display it correctly? Similar to what is shown with the Archives widget?
This is my URL http://rollingspoke.com/
Thanks!
Hey!
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #sidebar .widget.widget_categories li a, body #sidebar .widget.widget_pages li a, body #sidebar .widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
border-bottom: medium none;
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0 10px 0 0;
}
body #sidebar .widget.widget_categories li, body #sidebar .widget.widget_pages li, body #sidebar .widget.widget_nav_menu li {
border-bottom: 0 none !important;
padding: 8px 0 !important;
}
Cheers
Awesome, thanks!
You’re welcome
Hi Bud, The read more buttons here http://richpearson.co.uk/adventures/sports/ and here http://richpearson.co.uk/workspace/ both rollover black which is fine, but the read more stays grey when the writing should be white on rollover , how do I change this please?
Likewise here: http://richpearson.co.uk/journal/ the button rollover is completely black and the text as well

Hey,
.nectar-button.see-through-2:hover {
color: #fff!important;
}
1) Line to the left of the X needs removing 2) In responsive mode why do I get the navigation twice? I want to use the sidebar as my main nav, so removing the left nav is necessary also the logo should then fill that space. 3) How do I change the side menu open icon again please?
Rich
Hey,
1.
.ascend #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"][data-full-width="true"][data-remove-border="true"] header#top nav ul #search-btn a:after, .ascend #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"][data-full-width="true"][data-remove-border="true"] header#top nav ul .slide-out-widget-area-toggle a:after, .ascend #header-outer[data-transparent-header="true"][data-full-width="true"][data-remove-border="true"] .cart-menu:after {
border: none!important;
}
2. You’re getting one menu for the normal nav items and one for slide out side one
3. Search for .lines-button in the style.css file to find all the applicable rules
How do I remove the left nav completely please? I assume itsvn header.php but which lines?
#toggle-nav {
display: none!important;
}
html body[data-slide-out-widget-area="true"] header#top .span_3 {
text-align: left!important;
}
Hi Bud,

1) Bar doesn’t close on X when clicked (cleared cache) 2) Nothing appears in the sidebar even though I have added a widget 3) Line tot he left of the X needs removing 4) In responsive mode why do I get the navigation twice? I want to use the sidebar as my main nav, so removing the left nav is necessary also the logo should then fill that space.

Right it’s something to do with my child theme
Right it was the footer file – so fixed the error, next post will re-document what I need please
Glad you sorted the issues with it
Hello, I am running multisite and just tried to install Visual Composer plugin separately, which I know your theme also uses, and I got this error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpb_getImageBySize() (previously declared in …/public_html/wp-content/themes/salient/wpbakery/js_composer/composer/lib/helpers.php:15) in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/helpers/helpers.php on line 67
Is there a conflict between your VC and standalone VC? VC author said to contact you on how to reactive your copy of VC without losing extra elements or modifications made to VC.
Thanks a bunch!
Hey ehong33234!
Make sure you deactivate the Salient VC in your general settings tab in the Salient options panel and also rename the wpbakery folder to something else within the theme before activating the standalone plugin
Cheers
I did what you said and the VC plugin installed properly without the error BUT I noticed the site no longer recognizes Nectar Sliders and certain Nectar customizations. Is there any way to preserve these while still using standalone VC plugin?
Not without some custom development unfortunately as those are integrated into the core of the customized VC
The code you gave me for centering captions (under each image) also centers the text in the VC block at the top, this is not what I wanted, I only need the captions centred please
/* Captions */
.single-post .wpb_text_column {
text-align: center;
}
You would need to give the columns or rows classes then since there’s nothing else to differentiate them from other text blocks – or you could make a class to uncenter the one at the top
How do I centre the words on this page please eg sport, portraits etc?
http://richpearson.co.uk/adventures/Seems you’ve already sorted that
Hi
Is it possible to have the toggle headings in VC to be different colours? for example (Toggle 1 blue, Toggle 2 green, Toggle 3 purple, Toggle 4 pink)
Thanks
Hey DNDS,
Yes – but you can only choose the colors based on your accent color scheme
Cheers
