@Tetra84 How did you get them working?
Hey Jeff,
if you can let me know what issue you’re experiencing I’d be glad to take a look 
Hello,
Would it be possible on this theme to have an image on one section slightly go into another section above?
For example I want there to be a thin full width section with an image of an iMac, and having the top bit of frame extend into the section directly above.
You can see a direct example at this link: http://rhythm.bestlooker.pro/
The section is “LOOKING FOR EXCLUSIVE DIGITAL SERVICES?” directly underneath the Services example.
Thanks!
Hey! You’d need to give the image a class name and then use css to position it up like that. F or example:
.img-up {
position: relative;
top: -100px;
}
Cheers
Hi guys,
Is there RTL support?
Thanks
Hey – there is an RTL stylesheet built in. Let me know if you encounter any issues though
on the portfolio grid / style 3
1. is there a way to fade the portfolio featured image thumbnail in over time on hover?
2. can both text elements fade out over time on hover?
much thanks!
Hey,
Unfortunately this would require some javascript modding to the init.js file as of now
Cheers
Hey mate!
Wondering how I can disable the little bump animation on columns that have “boxed” enabled.
Z
Oh also, if using the feature where the navigation Adopts the background colour of the row, is there a way to have the logo go from Dark to Light or vice versa? IE, on a dark row, the logo is light, on a light row, the logo is dark?
Hey,
1. Add this into the custom css box in the Salient options panel:
body .col.boxed:hover, body .wpb_column.boxed:hover {
top: 0!important;
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2)!important;
}
2. You can control this based on the text color you set for the row
Cheers
Hi there, I added a pretty lightweight lightbox based on Photoswipe, but it is loading the images behind the header. I poked around after reading comments here and I don’t think it’s a Z-index issue, but I could be wrong. Would you mind taking a look and letting me know what I need to be doing differently?
http://www.shopcreo.com/raw-fabrics-cruisin-usa/Thanks!
Hey,
The problem is the container the lightbox is loading it is still inside of the main content area which does indeed have a lower z-index than the header – if there’s any option in the plugin to load the markup elsewhere that would solve it
Cheers
Hi there, I’m attempting to use the Center Menu option in the navigation menu. It seems that the sample image in the setting shows that the logo will be in the middle and the navigation/menu links will be on the left and right side of the logo. I have attempted to make this option in the menu available however I am unable to make it work in the settings. Is there anything I can possibly do?
Hey,
The centered menu option actually keeps the logo on the left, menu in the middle and extra items on the right such as this: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient-ecommerce/ unfortunately there’s no option for a split menu yet
Cheers
BUGGGGG
I added a form Contact Form 7 in the left column and an image in the right column via VisualComposer (1/2 + 1/2), but my image appears at the bottom of the form when it should be at the right of form.
I tried to change the image size and this is not the problem.
Thank you to enlighten me.
Hey,
Please share a URL in regards so I can see why that’s happening for you
Cheers
Anyone elses portfolios not working with 5.5.3? When I installed it, my when I click on portfolio icons, I just get the image, not the page with the image and text to the right. Visual Composer for these portfolio items isn’t working.
nevermind, I think I got it working.
Hey Tetra84, glad you sorted it
http://www.bwjohnsonmusic.com/
The heart/love icon is also just a square. I’m guessing it’s all related, but the left/right/up arrows and other icons are all still working…
Nevermind, I think another reinstall fixed it all. (Except the Vine social icon. My complaint about its vertical alignment still stands.) But that aside, thank you for such a wonderful, customizable theme.
Hey – glad you sorted the issues
Add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
#footer-outer .fa-vine {
position: relative;
top: 2px;
}
With version 5.5.3 installed, Salient Visual composer has been installed, deleted, re-installed, activated, and the elements of my website created in visual composer still do not load
Hey mrthomaswhitehead, I would need to see a URL in regards since there’s no known issue with elements not loading in the current release
Cheers
Hi it’s at mrthomaswhitehead.co.uk
resolved with help of support – thanks
Glad to hear
Cheers
A reminder for anyone updating
Visual composer has been separated into a plugin and will need to be installed and activated in the plugins section of your admin panel. Cheers!On the main item page, the download says it’s 5.5. Is this really 5.5.3? When I downloaded it it seemed like it was the same file-name as the 5.5 file I downloaded a few days ago.
Hey Tetra84, yes – 5.5.3 has been up for a day now. You can confirm what version you have installed in the Salient options panel > information tab
Yeah, same as everyone else…this update is really buggy! I mean taking out VISUAL COMPOSER is suicide…..It was the only real good thing you had going for you guys. Now i have to go off and buy a 3rd party 28 Dollar shitty plugin in order for my site to function…screw you guys!
Hey wobblefin, vc wasn’t removed – it’s now included as a plugin which you can activate in your plugins section of the admin panel. There is a Readme file in the theme download stating this and this change had to be done due to themeforest guidelines. Sorry for any confusion, you don’t need to purchase the plugin separately
Ah ok, too late though. Also it didn’t help by telling us when we update, to delete the salient theme folder as that includes the plugin for visual composer…i guess this was the confusion. Next time i will be sure to read the update…
No worries – let me know if run into any other issues
After updating to the latest version, I am having an issue with the Portfolio. I have it set to display the filters in a dropdown, and only selected categories, but it is showing all of the filters in a horizontal list (and nothing happens when they’re clicked).
On the bright side, only the projects from the selected categories are showing, so that’s correct. I am turning off the filters altogether right now since I don’t want the huge list, but I would like to be able to display them as they were before. Any help would be appreciated!
Here are some screenshots:
Hey – do you have a child theme active with portfolio template file overrides? If so you’ll need to update them to match to new markup in the current release. If you can share your URL in regards I’d be glad to confirm this is the case
Cheers
I do have a child theme active, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the issue. I updated the files and that didn’t fix it. I also tried switching back to the default Salient theme with no edits, and it’s still doing the same thing. The page is at: http://www.conventures.com/portfolio/
The correct filters do show and work properly when I set it to display horizontally in the Portfolio settings, but I would like to have them in a dropdown as they were before.
Thanks for your help!
Hey again, could you try using the VC portfolio element instead of the page template?
That was it! Thank you, you’re the best!!!
You’re welcome
Hi, I’m trying to get NectarSlider to hide on mobile due to scaling issues. I tried the CSS for Hide Nectar Slider but it left me with a black box.
www.dev.sunburnt.com
I then saw this: @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { . parallax_slider_outer, .nectar-slider-wrap { display: none!important; } }
That didn’t work either.
I also tried the Hide Row CSS: @media only screen and (max-width:1000px) { .mobile-hidden { display: none!important; } }
Nothing working, please help! Thanks again
Hey – this snippet should still be valid:
@media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) { . parallax_slider_outer, .nectar-slider-wrap { display: none!important; } }
it seems you don’t have it in your custom css box at the moment – could you add it back so I can see why it’s not working?
hi themenectar! thank you for constantly updating the theme.
unfortunately, when i tried to update to the new theme (5.5.3) – there was a fatal error. my entire site was taken down and i had to call my host to restore it.
i’m now back on 5.0
Hey meic01, what was the fatal error reported?
Cheers
I uploaded the new theme 5.5.3 on my ftp site (thru fetch). After a while, I noticed that it was just spinning and doing nothing at all.
I logged onto my site to check the stylesheet to see if the new theme actually loaded. Stylesheet still said 5.0 but, when I called on my site, it was reading the home page funny – with all the [vc] tags showing, and the three columns turning into only one. [iwork3.us]
So I stopped the ftp upload of 5.5.3, and tried upload the old version 5.0. It started spinning again. I went back to my browser, refreshed it, and the entire site was down. I couldn’t even get back into the back-end login in wp.
Called my host, and after much tracking, they said that the new updated theme caused a “fatal error” and they “rebooted” my site with the 2014 theme. Once it was up and running, I deleted the salient theme that was there and reinstalled the 5.0.
I am not sure what the error message was. But I’m afraid of installing the 5.5.3 version.
Say I reinstall the 5.5.3 version, how do I get around the problem with the [vc] tags showing up on the actual site? and the columns working properly? Also am afraid that it may take down the site again.
Sorry…any help would be great. You are doing great work!
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.
Cheers
i managed to load the new update. literally one at a time. VC activated in plugins.
unfortunately, my blog posts are now missing. all that is left in the page is the pagination at the bottom. I looked everywhere. Not sure what is wrong. please help! thank you
nvm. i dont know what i did – but it came back! thanks again! keep up the good work.
Hey glad to hear you sorted it
Hi there,
My name is Daniel and i’m using Salient for a project.
I came across a problem that i don’t know if it is a easy fix or not.
We need a row with 2 collumns with a portfolio in one of the collumns (50% width) and some text on the other, and that porfolio need to be a masonry layout. Like this -> http://buro.pt/a0Sf
The problem with this is in the calculation of the width, it seems that the portfolio “widget” is using the full-width of the page and not of the collumns that we are using.
Here is the way we are trying to layout this block -> http://buro.pt/a1SC
Is there a easy fix for this issue, or did we miss understand how to achieve this effect?
Thanks in advance,
Great theme
Daniel
Hey Daniel!
That would take some custom modding unfortunately since if you change the fullwidth display the lowest column number you could go down to would be 3 and the items wouldn’t touch like that. I’ve noted this idea for the wishlist though
Hey everyone. I sort of freaked out when the update broke my site. Please make sure that “salient visual composer” is installed and activated. That fixed it for me. Hope it helps someone.
Hey mwillman, thanks for posting to help others – I added a notice on the main theme page as well
Cheers
I want some text on one of the pages of my site to be a custom size. I tried writing HTML code to put the text in a div, but the code just shows up on the page. How can I change the text size of one bit of text on the site?
Hey – if you switch into the text tab on your editor (not visual) the html code should parse correctly
