Hi guys, I ran the update to 4.8 and find that my icons are now struggling. I go to place an icon now and I cannot select any from the boxes shown for the Font Awesome icons.
If I then select what I think should be right or just anything, it seems to crash Visual Composer…
Could be a cache issue so will try from another computer later but thought you should be aware of this.
Cheers Dan
Hey Dan,
please do indeed try clearing the cache and let me know 
Cheers
When will you be updating your YouTube channel with the Ascend theme and all the current updates of version 4.8? Its difficult to click through all the pages and options and find the changes after browsing the change log. Thanks.
Hey palsy1149, new tutorials are coming soon
Great. 
For instance what effect controls the animation on your demo page http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/ for “The Field” “Be My Guest” “One More Beer” and “Ownage”.
And the effect on the image at the top of this page: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ascend/about/about-me-extended/ I can’t find the options to convert my home page for this....well Mouse Based Parallax I believe is the answer to #2.
Hey!
1. That’s a portfolio element set to the zoom on hover style
2. Yes – that’s correct. There’s a tutorial on it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIgi-YyspcE
Salient slider has stopped working. I have checked the settings in the theme settings area. Can you help please . Tom
Hey Tom, please share your URL so I can see what’s going on
Hi there, I have an issue with Salient and need your (wise) help
I don’t know what happened, but one morning i went to my website (http://kribou.ca) and saw that the header is no longer transparent! I checked on the settings, the function is checked, and I also tried by forcing it on Home Page, but nothing happened.
Do you have an idea why it doesn’t work?
PS: this is possible i already posted this question but i can’t find it here. Thanks very much.
Hey alexandreminem!
Could you kindly open a ticket in regards so I can log in and see what’s going on better? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hey guys, i know what I did there… I tried to compress the css file with http://cssminifier.com/ and it broke the file, it seems… Sorry about that. I restored the original version of the file, everthing is ok now.
But… i’m a little frustrated because i tested my website on some SEO tools and they detected that it’s slow because of the code and the size of some files (js, css, hmtl). Do you have some tips to give me to reduce the files size on my website please?
Thank you guys.
Hey again! Yes – use the plugin bwp minify. I’m going to be making a tutorial for the settings in that within the next couple days, though there’s not too much to do
Cheers
Oh great! I have WP Rocket right now, maybe this is the same thing, isn’t it?
It’s similar, but I haven’t tested with that to give exact instructions such as bwp minify
Ok great. Thanks.
You’re welcome
Hi Mr. Nectar
Thanks very much for the update. It’s just that…menu hierarchy, levels, and sub-items do not appear as such when adding a Custom Menu widget to the new Slide Out Widget area.
I’ve verified that the menu is set up properly.
I even tried a Custom Menu plugin to create the sub-levels but that doesn’t work either.
Not sure how to make it a proper slide-out menu. 
Hey blisswork,
thanks for mentioning – going to be releasing the minor bug fix for 4.8 soon and will make sure to sort this.
Cheers!
Okay. Also, the Slide Out widget seems to have a fixed height. It doesn’t extend or scroll with the page. Not sure if that’s intentional.
Nonetheless, I love what you’ve done with Salient and can’t thank you enough for creating it. More {{{{hugs}}}}
The height is fixed to the screen – but if you have content that overflows past what’s visible you should be able to scroll down inside of it. The minor update coming out in a couple hours will also bring swipe functionality to that
As he removed the search template?
Thanks!
Fernando
Hey Fernando! I’m not quite sure what you’re asking – there’s a new option where you can optionally disable the search in the header if that’s what you’re wondering
that’s what I want
thank you very much
You’re welcome
What is the default image size for the nectar slider? Meaning, what size graphic could I upload so that it would not be resized? Thanks!
Hey TheRealCaseyChoate,
the height can be whatever you need it to, just ensure that you have the flexible height option turned on so that the slider can scale to fit whatever screen size the user is viewing your site on
Cheers
If I have “Use Custom Fonts?” turned off should the theme be loading these files?
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:regular/wp-content/themes/salient/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=4.0
/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/default_ext_chars/OpenSans-Bold-webfont.woff
/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/default_ext_chars/OpenSans-Light-webfont.woff
/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/default_ext_chars/OpenSans-Semibold-webfont.woff
/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/icomoon.woff
/wp-content/themes/salient/css/fonts/linecons.ttf
Any way I can remove some of these?
Hey tspino1,
those are the default fonts – if you remove those the theme won’t have any fonts set at all. If you want to, you can do so near the top of the style.css file at the font face declarations
BOOM, thanks for the 4.8 update!
Cheers
Hey again.
I have a page that lists all posts (for example: http://www.institutoimpar.com.br/?author=8) and it’s title is “All posts by Author’s Name”. I need to translate that, but I couldn’t find it in the .po file. Where should I find it? My wordpress is already installed in portuguese.
Thanks again. Cheers Priscila
Hey Priscila,
Are you on the current release of the theme as well?
Cheers
Hey, It is now. Just updated. Cheers
That line should be in the .po – but if you want to get it manually you’ll find it in the index.php file near the top
Found it! Thank you! ;D
You’re welcome
The new Salient update did not fix the Safari IOS issues on the iPhone. There are still some of the same issues and my website and other Salient sites are broken and rendered useless in the new Apple IOS for iPhone. Apparently there is some issue with Salient and the new Apple IOS (even the latest version they just released the other day). Pleas help. I also opened a new ticket.
*Nav Bar doesn’t work *Home page slider is white and who knows what other issues still haven’t been resolved
Slider text not showing up on iPad with latest IOS and a little buggy
Please review my entire site as there are tons of bugs in it. I’ve updated to today’s Salient theme, all plugins are updated, WP is updated. All should be working fine but it isn’t. Please help.
Hey again acmediaservices, after much testing with iOS8 via my iPad mini using Safari/Chrome I was only able to see the Nectar Slider issues of the text not displaying – which 4.8 did fix. Have you ensured your cache/cookies were cleared after updating? Are you also seeing these other issues you mentioned on your iPad as well or are they specific to the iPhone?
Still Showing Errors – Please Read but Update to the latest iOS 8.0.2 On the iPad, the Nectar Slider text shows up in portrait mode but nn text shows up in Landscape mode. Check my www.acmediaservices.com Home page to test this. Also, on the iPhone in the Nectar Slider, the smaller text area is very grainy and I can’t read the text on my iPhone. I can also see the small text in the Nectar Slider isn’t as clear on the iPad as well. If you can please fix this and release another version of Salient, it would be appreciated as my site is live and so are others and this is a bug that needs serious fixing, especially as sliders are on the Home page of sites for the most part with missing information due to this bug. Thank you.
4.8.1 is coming tonight
Thank you!
Sorry if I am being daft, but how exactly do I enable the side widget area you guys just released?
Also, feature request, a way to have boxed layout on desktop and full width on mobile.
Thanks so much for the best theme on the planet!!
Hey heron88!
You can enable that via the header options tab in your Salient options panel
Also thanks for the request!
Cheers
Why when I import the xml data from the modern creative site does it not look the same? For instance navigation isn’t bold and uppercase like in the live preview.
Hey tjdreyer, you also need to import the theme options via your Salient options panel > import/export tab
Hello,
We noticed that the normal transition in the web load so slow, could you help me to know if we need to do something.
http://www.carbotecnia.com.mx/Thank you Raul
Hey Raul,
Are you saying that switching between pages is slow for you? Could you let me know what the time between transitions is for you?
Cheers
Hi, is around 5 to 8 seconds
I’m seeing the page switch in about 2 seconds – I can send a screencast if you need, are you possibly a good deal further from your servers location than I am? (I’m located on the east coast US)
Hey there! I was wondering what I could do to fix what my site looks like on a mobile device? If I open it on safari on an iphone the site looks super messed up but using chrome on a phone it’s fine…any ideas? Thanks!
Hey smashasaur, could you please share your URL so I can take a look?
sure, thanks! www.smashbakeshop.com I’m noticing it’s just not pulling the mobile site in safari on the iphone but on any other phone browser it’s fine. It’s odd.
Weird I’m checking it out now on an iphone/Safari but can’t see anything jumping out – is it not loading the mobile theme at all for you?
I’m not using the Nectar Slider on any pages but I’m seeing the javascript get loaded: wp-content/themes/salient/js/nectar-slider.js?ver=4.5.2
And the nectar loading gif: wp-content/themes/salient/img/icons/nectar-loading.gif
This shouldn’t be happenging should it? How ca I remove these?
Thanks.
Unless a Rown with a Full width background and a layer added also calls the Nectar slider?
Hey tspino1, this was just recently changed to accommodate AJAX transitions – but I’ll put some additional logic back in to sort this in the upcoming minor update
hello, I have decided to buy SALIENT. Very cool. I hope to learn to use it, and use it on more occasions.
But I have a problem and can not find solution. I’ve seen the comments, and I can not fix 
In a PAGE, I have placed a PICTURE GALLERY, and do NOT WANT this to AUTOMATIC. I want to press buttons left and right.
I changed what you’ve already commented on js / Init.js, but continues to operate automatically.
I’ve done this
$that.flexslider({
// animation: 'fade',
smoothHeight: false,
// animationSpeed: 500,
useCSS: false,
touch: true
<pre>
<p>I'm not using a child theme
<br />
A solution please.
<br />
thank you</p><p></p></pre>
I’m not using a child theme
A solution please.
thank you
sorry
Hey erfekto,
add this into that:
slideshow: false,
Cheers
I have done so, and neither works. Only sometimes works. Shortly works again automatically.
/***************** Sliders ******************/
//gallery
function flexsliderInit(){
$('.flex-gallery').each(function(){
var $that = $(this);
imagesLoaded($(this),function(instance){
$that.flexslider({
animation: 'fade',
slideshow: false,
smoothHeight: false,
animationSpeed: 500,
useCSS: false,
touch: true
});
////gallery slider add arrows
$('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-next').html('<i class="icon-angle-right" />');
$('.flex-gallery .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-prev').html('<i class="icon-angle-left" />');
});
});
}
flexsliderInit();
Please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
OK, thanks
You’re welcome

I see that you have released a version 4.8, but when I go to download I still get the last version 4.5.22.
It’s still in the review queue for ThemeForest – you’ll get an email when it’s approved and ready to download
