Hello,
The Header menu and page slide out widget don’t seem to be functioning correctly. I have all the relevant sections marked as was previous to the update however now since updating its not showing at all. I am using the centered menu option.
Any ideas? Anyone else having the same issue?
Hey ThorBorn – could you please share your URL in regards so I can take a look?
Sure no problem, my url is: http://crypturecrowd.com.gridhosted.co.uk/
I am also having issues with the testimonial slider option: “Disable height animation” it doesn’t work even though i have selected it? Usually it keeps the testimonal slides the same height as each other however it isn’t now?
The header seems to be working ok now. Just the testimonial issue?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Hey again – that issue was fixed in v5.5.2 
I am having trouble making changes to the favicon and logo under theme settings. Basically, the changes are not reflecting. My wp-content directory is renamed and I am using pre-fix tables in the database – could this cause the issue?
Hey aditya_3194, 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/
I also received the error Fatal error: Class ‘WPBakeryShortCode_Tabbed_Section’ not found relative to my install wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php on line 2254
I’m on the latest version of wordpress.
Hey kdetwieler, this was sorted in v5.5.2
Cheers
Hy! Great theme! Sorry but my English isn’t so good. I need to keep visible the arrows on product carousel, not on hover. Checked or uncheck, the option “Enable Controls On Hover” does nothing. Thank you!
Hey! Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
html body .products-carousel .carousel-next {
right: 0!important
}
html body .products-carousel .carousel-prev {
left: 0!important
}
I’m having some issues with Nectar slider on the Ascend layout. I have a full page image sized 2000×2000, but there is a sliver at the bottom that is repeating the image. I have Repeat Image unchecked and can’t seem to find a solution for it.
Hey – could you kindly share a URL in regards showing the issue?
Cheers
Perfect update for me. But I didn’t get the message for installing the VC plugin so I had to go to Appearance=>Install Plugins But no problem after that. Keep up the good work
Hey, glad you found the right place to install it
Hey, just updated to a v5.5 and here are a few of the following things: 1) On a mobile-version all my portfolio items are aligned to the left, all crippled with very small thumbnails, instead of normal full mobile screen pics, and so is the text – it all seems to be squezed in a small 1/3 of the screen table. 2) And again with a portfolio – on a desktop in places where heading of an item is longer than 1 line, it breaks up vertical alignment of the grid, making the whole row step down a bit. 3) Is it possible to remove the whole like button under portfolio item making more space for the heading?] 4) When I edit typography, making some items other size and choosing Open Sans (for cyrillic) – when I open up the web-site in Safari or in some other browsers – it all comes back to Times New Roman) What might be the problem? Thank you!
Hey,
1/2 these items should be sorted in .v 5.5.2
3. Yes add this into the custom css box in your Salient options panel:
.portfolio-items .nectar-love-wrap {
display: none!important;
}
.portfolio-items .work-meta {
width: 100%!important;
}
4. Could you kindly share a URL in regards so I can take a look?

Theme Nectar,
I have a question regarding the ‘Project Excerpt’ I have included here: http://neileverosborne.com/works/
I am trying to stylize the ‘Project Excerpt’ using:
<p class="works-body-subtitle">with Canadian Wildlife July/August 2013</p> <p class="works-bodytext">A Thick-billed Murre colony in the Lower Canadian Arctic is home to almost one million birds.</p> <pre> But for some reason every time I make an alternation to the Portfolio page, the 'Project Excerpt' removes/deletes itself and I have to re-enter it. Do you know why this is? Please help. Thanks, EM </pre>
Hey,
Are you adding that html directly in the excerpt field? This wouldn’t work as is
Cheers
Yes I am adding it directly into the ‘Project Excerpt’. If this is wrong, can you please help me as to how to stylize the ‘Project Excerpt’
Where would I put the CSS to stylize the ‘Project Excerpt’?
How would should the text appear in the ‘Project Excerpt’?
Thanks, EM
You could try using single quotes on the classes to bypass the issue:
<p class="works-body-subtitle">with Canadian Wildlife July/August 2013</p> <p class="works-bodytext">A Thick-billed Murre colony in the Lower Canadian Arctic is home to almost one million birds.</p>if that doesn’t work you’d need to skip the html and just use css like:
.portfolio-items .work-meta {
font-size: 20px!important;
}
Many thanks for your help. The code you provided works!
Cheers
Nectar team,
If I wanted to use a child theme, what files would I need to copy from the parent theme directory into the child-theme directory in-order to keep any changes I made to any of the parent theme files active.
In other words I don’t want changes that I’ve made to functions.php , shortcode-processing.php , single-portfolio.php , etc. to be overwritten when I update Salient. Please advise.
Thanks, EM
Hey – the functions.php and single-portfolio.php files can be added into the child theme directly but the shortcode-processing.php file would require a mod in the functions.php child theme to enqueue the new file location
Cheers
OK. Great that’s good to know. Thanks.
What about the init.js , single-portfolio.php files? Can there be a copy of those in the child theme as well or would that case problems?
Just making sure I don’t lose any changes I’ve made to the theme.
Thanks again for the great customer service. It’s rare to receive such good customer service, so thank.
Cheers, EM
Just got this when trying to install for the first time.
Fatal error: Class ‘WPBakeryShortCode_Tabbed_Section’ not found in /home/content/11/8861311/html/wp-content/themes/salient/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/nectar-addons.php on line 2254
Hey – V5.5.2 sorted this, it was a conflict that occurred when Salient was activated with a copy of VC already enabled
Cheers
Testing out the v5.5.1. I’m not clear on VC, do I need to purchase the plugin seperately? I am running multisite and didn’t get a prompt to install it.
Okay I figured it out. If you don’t get a prompt go to Appearance->Themes. The salient theme will have a plugins button under the theme image. You can install the theme related plugins from there and it will install the salient visual composer version. Everything works now. cheers!
Hey, glad you found it
Cheers
Never was given any prompt to install VC after latest 5.5.1 update. So I have to buy this plugin now?
Hey, it should show up in your plugin a section of your admin panel – the actual plugin folder is inside the plugins folder within the root of the theme though
Found it, thanks.
Cheers
Hello,
Thank you, thank you for updating the Visual Composer! Much needed update so yes thanks ThemeNectar Team!
One thing: Some of the Demo pages don’t render correctly in the new update as they are still built using the old forked version of Visual Composer you used to build them. I notice the new Demo pages work perfectly as they were built with this new Visual Composer. Is it possible for you to rebuild the other demo pages: One-page etc so that they can be used correctly with the new Visual Composer you have incorporated? I think that would answer alot of the above issues from other users!
Thanks again ThemeNectar!
Hey!
the old VC shortcodes should still work correctly with the new VC – could you kindly share a URL in regards showing the issues?
Cheers
Hello!
I love your theme, but before to buy it I need to know one thing.
I would use the “One page” demo parallax, but I would want that each work would appear in a new page (with a cross to close and return to the one page again). Is that posible?
Thank you very much in advanced.
Silvia
Hey,
Unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible as of now without some development
Cheers
Hello,
I’ve seen a few issues with this release, just updating to 5.5.1 so should fix, but before the disable built in VC option was missing. Can we not disable the built in one to use the raw plugin anymore?
Thanks Jon
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. If you wish to use the raw VC instead just disable the Salient version
Cheers
Hi, i just updated my salient automatically via envato toolkit and my theme was broken! Visual Composer seems to be missing?
I see only “[vc]” tags… What should I do?
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. It is included still with the theme and no purchase is necessary, just head to the plugins section of your admin panel to install & activate.
Hi guy !
What is the version of the salient theme that is currently available for download here in themeforest ?
The version seems to be 5.5 (as mentioned in the css file) or 5.5.1 (as indicated on http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html) ?
I’ve just uploaded the new cersion available here, but it doesn’t seem the solve the issue when using a child theme.
Thank you for your explanations !
I’ve just re-upload the folder … now 5.1.1 … and it works well now ! Thank you salient !
Hey – glad you got it sorted
container-wrap margin-top
I always have to struggle with my first element on the page because the upper part always is hidden behind the menu. It is that container-wrap margin-top:-55px setting, that I always have to change to something like -22px but why do I have to do this in the first place? Why can I not just place a row, put some content in it and it will be visible on the frontend 100%?
Thanks for clarification.
Hey,
If you use the default row type (in container) a negative top margin won’t be given
Cheers
but very often, this is not what people do for the first container. can’t you add an option to say this is my first container, do not add this negative margin?
Hi!
visual composer seems to be missing in the new update

Hey guys is the 5.5.1 update already up? We just downloaded but IF you changed it, the style.css version is still 5.5 that’s why I am asking.
Cheers
Hey – 5.5.2 is actually out at the moment
