Also noticing a fair amount of issues with the 5.5 update. Mostly layout and style problems, but could be more I’m sure.
Does anyone know how I can download 5.0.1 again? I made the mistake of deleting it completely from my hdd.
Thanks.
One such bug with new VC is that it thinks a 3 column Pricing Table is actually 4. Looks like the style is set to 25%. I can’t seem to get it to work with less than 4 pricing columns.
Hey – the pricing table bug will be included with the bugfix update due out in a few hours – if you have any other styling issues to report please let me know 
Same VC issue.
Hey – if you’re referring to the child theme issue, the fix will be out soon
Same issue as other people here – full width not working and VC issues when using a child theme (although I have installed the decoupled VC plugin without issue).
Hey – the fix will be out for this shortly
Same issue with others, using child theme can’t install your decoupled vc plugin. Although I think it’s a great idea to pull it out of the theme! A work around for folks is to activate the main theme, install the vc plugin, and then reactivate your child theme.
Hey – the fix will be out for this shortly
full-width BG and row top and bottom padding no longer work for me on the new upgrade :/ LINK
Hey Ace, this should only be the case in a child theme – the fix will be out very soon
Just updated to 5.5 via FTP by deleting the old theme folder and uploading the latest one.
I noticed that VC was not installed, so I went to the Install Plugins page under Appearance and installed VC. I get this error:
Downloading install package from /.../public_html/wp-content/themes/salient-child/plugins/js_composer_salient.zip… Download failed. A valid URL was not provided.
I’m using a child theme, as seen in that url, but why does the plugin installer look in the child theme? Is this a bug, or am I supposed to put VC in my child theme to install it?
I suppose I can activate the parent theme and install this, but just thought it was odd. Thanks.
Hey! Thanks for noting – the fix for installing the VC from a child theme will be out in a couple hours.
Cheers
Did anyone else lose image linking? No images are showing up on my site now.
Disregard….I had a leftover Lightbox plugin that was screwing things up.
Hey – glad you found the conflict
Yeah this new update needs a lot of work, I rolled back to the previous version, will try it on a fresh install later on and see if its any other conflicting plugins etc
Hey thek1w1,
Did you install the included VC plugin? If you’re using a child theme please change to the parent theme for the next couple of hours until the bugfix for that is out
Cheers
I did, it wouldnt install through the theme so I installed it manually. It worked well on a new install so it might have been a conflict with some existing code/plugin for vc. Will try it again tomorrow when the bugfix is out.
Btw it looks great on a new install. The bug I was having on the old install was vertical padding/margin between VC boxes when editing, seemed to be over 400px below each row…
Hello!
I’ve installed the new version and both my existing child theme and the new included child theme is broken. Whole sections of my page do not load now.
Hey – the child theme conflict will be cleared up shortly in a bugfix update that should be ready in a couple hours
I am having problems also and it says I exceeded my downloads….ugh….what? Customer is trying to do a blog post and the images are not showing up….. I suspect it is a VC issue.
Hey – Have you checked out this plugin in regards to bypass the TF limit? http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-update-themeforest-themes-with-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit/
Also if you could share a URL in regards for the img issue I’d be glad to take a look
Cheers
Hi,
I just updated to 5.5, and a couple of unexpected things happened. 
Firstly, it told me that the visual composer plugin was missing, and I had to install it separately from plugins folder inside the package.
Now, with the new visual composer working (and it looks great, by the way), my site looks different. The column padding and background colour settings don’t seem to be working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey – could you kindly share a URL in regards showing the column padding/bg issues?
it’s toeverybody.com, but it’s in maintenance mode while I get the website ready for launch. It sounds like the padding/colour issues might be related to the child theme – I’ll wait for the fix. Thanks!
5.5.1is up now – could you update and verify the issues are indeed gone?
Hi Theme Nectar, I tried to update to 5.5 and it broke a lot of think of my page then i had to come back to 5.0. Could you help me please?
Hey – did you activate Visual Composer? It was moved to a plugin
Yes, it’s working fine. Thank you.
good to hear
Salient—
The 5.5 Update does not include Visual Composer—was this on purpose?
Thanks!
Hey – Salient v5.5 has separated Visual Composer into a plugin and is no longer automatically built in – this means when you activate the theme you’ll have to still install the Visual Composer plugin via the admin panel (there will be a prompt at the top of your screen). Cheers!
There is a problem with the new update. Salient Visual Composer is missing from the install files.
Update! Fixed it, sorry for bothering you!
Hey – glad you sorted it
Salient is listed under ‘Broken Themes’ in the wordpress dashboard. Next to ‘Salient’ it says that the stylesheet is missing… How do I fix this?
Hey – please ensure you’ve uploaded the extracted theme zip inside of the download zip from themeforest – if you upload the downloaded zip which contains other things besides the theme this will occur
Cheers
I am consistently getting 404 error when I try to change the general settings in the Redux Panel. I checked and all files do exist. Checked permission settings too (tried 755, 777 but reset to default). Also tried setting htaccess for overwrite. No luck. Any suggestions for the fix?

Hey – could you please open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look at what’s going on themenectar.ticksy.com/
Hi I was wondering if it was possible to display the date styled as on the standard blog no sidebar, on the pages for individual posts. Does that make sense? SO on each plog post the date would be large and to the left… Specifically I want to show the dates for specific post types. Is there a way of displaying the date just for these? If not, displaying for all types of posts would be fine. Juts need them to be bigger. Hope that’s possible. Many thanks Thomas
Hey,
As of now this would require css modding and modding to the single.php file
Cheers
Nectar Team,
I have added 3 single images, (http://neileverosborne.com/works/global-sea-turtles/) under the ‘Take Action’ section.
I am trying to add an hover opacity affect but I am not having any luck.
I’ve opened the ‘Edit Single Image’ panel, gave the image an ‘Extra class name’ of ‘image-opacity, than added some custom CSS as follow:
.image-opacity { background-colour: #988455; }
.image-opacity:hover { opacity: 0.3; }
This does not work. Can you please help me out.
Thanks, EM
Hey,
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
.center img.img-with-animation:hover {
opacity: 0.3;
}
Cheers
I added the snippet of code you provide me above into the Salient > General Settings > Custom CSS section and that didn’t work. I also added the code into the Custom CSS section on the individual page and that didn’t work. Neither option gave me the hover affect I wanted.
Can you help me out.
Many thanks, EM
Hi, how do you put a video on top of the nectar slider? I’ve tried almost everything and cant seem to figure it out.

Hi there! I need a little help. I have purchased, installed and made live your Salient theme on a website. However, the theme is filled with PHP errors. With the traffic we get to the site, it keeps crashing the site. These errors are beyond my capability to fix. I’d like your help in fixing the errors with your theme.
Hey BeautyBrainsLLC,
Pleas let me know what PHP errors you’re referring to – could you open a ticket in regards with more details? http://themenectar.ticksy.com/
Cheers
