How do I upgrade to the latest theme?
Hey,
You can update by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can use the WP dashboard if you prefer. You won’t lose any of your content or theme settings so don’t worry about that if you were 
There’s also a plugin Envato offers for updating: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-update-themeforest-themes-with-the-envato-wordpress-toolkit/
Also keep in mind Salient v5.5 separated Visual Composer into a plugin and it 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.
two issues i need help on.
1. When i have Woocommerce plugin active, my Media library wont load at all. Im also getting Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /home/dgood48080/public_html/wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php on line 302” when the woocommerce plugin is active Among a lot of other issues. The plugin is currently disabled
2. on my home page the bottom of the “Recent Work” is cut off and appears the scaling os off on some thumbnails. See attached here http://i62.tinypic.com/2q19zdj.png
www.fluxxmedia.com
Hey,
1. You’ll need to contact your host and request that they increase your maximum memory allocated to PHP
2. Can you ensure that if you’re using a custom thumbnail instead of a featured image for the first item: https://www.fluxxmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Google-Maps-Marketing.png that you’re uploading it in the same aspect ratio as the others?
Cheers

Hello ThemeNectar,
In the first place, I would like to thank you for designing such a solid and beautiful theme, easy to customize, very complete and fantastic to work with.
However, I’m wondering something. Please let me explain: Your Ascend Demo begins with a Full-Screen slider landing page. But, if you click on Features, Full Width Slider, this slider changes and becomes a wide Slider (instead of the full-screen slider).
In my case, I have a Main Page which starts with a Full-Screen slider (like your Ascend demo does). And, when you scroll down, you directly find the blog with its posts and pagination below. But, when I go to page nº2, I would like that this Full-Screen Slider becomes a Full-Width Slider, instead of loading the same Full-Screen parameter from the Main Page.
So my question is, it is possible to do that?
Many thanks in advance for your time,
Ricard
Hey Ricard!
As of now that wouldn’t be possible without some custom modding since by default you don’t have control over what displays in every page when using default pagination in WP
Cheers
Hello again ThemeNectar,
Big thanks for your answer and sorry for insist but, is there any way to activate one slider in the first page, and the other slider for the rest of pages of the blog using the Display parameter?
On the other hand, I’ve been reading the comments and I’ve found a short code that allows me to remove the “date” and “likes” from the left side of the posts. That’s great!
But now, all posts are shown off-center. So I was wondering if there is any other code which allows me to center the contents of posts (title, image and text) and, at the same time, allows me to customize the pixel size of the whole container.
Kind regards!
Hi Support,
When I update to the newest theme, the shortcode is showing on every page and screwing up the website
Hey moonstar22,
Salient v5.5 separated Visual Composer into a plugin and it 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!
is this the visual composer plugin that works with your template? https://wordpress.org/plugins/showcase-visual-composer-addon/
Also, my score for Defer parsing of JavaScript, Serve scaled images, Specify image dimensionsand Optimize images are still an F when I installed W3 total cache and BWP Minify as you have suggested. I can’t figure out how to improve this
I have two questions 1. I have placed clients and testimonial in 5 pages. I want if I update at one page it should get update on all other pages automatically. How to do that.
2. I want to open a light box gallery in portfolio Example I have 3 projects and one project has 5 photos . Now I want that if some body clicks on one project it should open a light box and show that project 5 photos. Just like http://globalbrandings.com/portfolio
Hope to get a quick response
Thanks in advance
Hey,
1. This wouldn’t be possible at the moment without some custom development unfortunately
2. You can only have a lightbox gallery like that on a single project page – the lightbox option for the portfolio element itself will change between all the project featured images
How do I insert a link into the shortcodes for buttons and icons ?
Thanks
Hey – the button shortcode offers a url attribute for linking. However if you want to link an icon shortcode you’ll need to switch into the text tab on your editor and wrap it in an anchor like so:

Is there anyway you can make the pricing tabs a bit more funkier? A popout type effect on hover over would be nice. They sit quite flat.
Hey – it would take custom modding as of now but I’ve noted the idea of new style options for the pricing table on the wishlist
Still loving the theme!
Is it possible to get some of your excellent CSS advice? I’m trying to add a page specific, full height overlay.
Don’t think I should be using the div tag but I currently have:
div { width: 10px; height: 100%; background: linear-gradient(to bottom, red, orange, yellow, green, blue); }
Hey!
Could you kindly share the page where you’re working on this so I can take look at the setup?
Not sure if this is normal but I can not add new categories for some reason. I am stuck with Blog and Uncategorized. I can CREATE more Categories/slugs for the list, however, they are not an option via the Visual Composer once I create a new blog. Is this a bug or am I missing something somewhere???
For example, if there is Blog, Uncategorized by default and I want to add SAMPLE as an additional category, I can create it in my category dropdown under Posts. However, once I add an element to a page and try to add a blog via the Visual Composer, the SAMPLE option is not an option… just BLOG and UNCATEGORIZED.
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/
I have searched the comments here but can’t seem to find how to make my menu text white prior to parallax scrolling. I want the menu items to do exactly what the page name “poipu makai…” is doing—start white and go black when the BG turns to white.
BTW your previous help worked perfectly! poipumakai.net
Hey,
Try adding this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
body #header-outer.transparent.dark-slide header#top nav > ul > li > a {
color: #fff!important;
}
Cheers
Does not seem to do the trick. Menu links are still black until the parallax changes the BG color.
Change the snippet to this:
body #header-outer.transparent.dark-slide header#top nav .sf-menu > li.current_page_item > a, body #header-outer.transparent.dark-slide header#top nav > ul > li > a, body #header-outer.transparent.dark-slide header#top nav > ul > li > a:hover {
color: #fff!important;
}
and ensure that you didn’t accidentally also place the pre tags int he textbox
HEllo, how can I fix the order of the portfolio ? I want to move bathroom to the right and keep the other where they are. Like this > Exteriors – Kitchens – Living – Bathrooms
Please check website here: http://cbcconstructionny.com/gallery/
Hey – try using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
Hello!
I’m very interested in buying your template. I just have some pre-buying questions:
- Can I add more filters to the Portfolio page? Maybe one search bar to look for projects by name, or maybe by client.
- Can I create several pages, with differents portofolios? (one page for web, one for printing, etc.) instead of using one for all them?
- Can I use the VisualComposer to create new pages? I mean, original pages made by me from zero, and not only use the ones included in your demo contetn?
- Does the tempalte includes all the features, plugins and pages in your demo?
Thanks and good job!
federico.lopez22@gmail.comHey fd22!
1. Unfortunately there’s only one filter bar as of now
2. Yes, you could separate the items that display based on categories
3. Yes
4. Yes, but most images are replaced with placeholders
Cheers

Hello, i want to ask, if Enable Responsive Design is enabled, how to set max site width for exampe to 1100 px, because on bigger screens site becomes to disorted?
Hey – add this into the custom css box located in your Salient Options panel:
@media only screen and (min-width: 1000px) {
.container, .woocommerce-tabs .full-width-content .tab-container {
max-width: 1100px!important;
}
}
Hello,
I wonder if there is a 3rd plugin or a setting on Salient own me to do with my portfolio appears only in a gallery in the Lightbox and not on a Single Page.
I am awaiting, thank you!
Hey,
Use the portfolio element within visual composer (if you are not already) instead of the portfolio page template. When configuring the options for it in there check the box for lightbox only
Cheers
But I can put description for each project? And this gallery will consist of all cases or each case will have your lightbox separately?
I am awaiting…..
Hey again,
If you fill out the description filed in the media settings for each image it should display (make sure you’re on the current theme version though).
Cheers
Hi, I’m not sure how many people are struggling with this. but seem to have the same issue where ever I look and no solution seems to work. Trying to edit the archive-product.php page directly in woocommerce and by overwriting it in the theme directory also. I have tried to relocate the archive-product.php in every directory possible just cant seem to make it change anything. trying to change the code behind the product category page, lets say for example i would like to remove the <?php do_action( ‘woocommerce_archive_description’ ); ?> but when i do nothing changes. Iv hit every brick wall with this one HELP 
Thanks in advance.
Hey rockandrolltiger,
the theme only uses woocommerce.php that would be used to the overall displaying of archive pages – you should be able to add your code into there
Cheers
Hey guys!
Salient is the greatest!
But I have a big big problem… I’m working on a new site. I just update the theme to 5.5.5 and every portfolio and blog page now is blank! On the dashboard everything is fine, but when I lunch the page I don’t see anything… How is possible?
Thanks!
Hey – could you kindly share your URL in regards? Also did you verify you did a clean update by deleting the old version you had prior to uploading the new one?
Hey I solved the problem! Just de-installing and re-installing the update twice… Thanks
Glad you sorted it
Hello I have a customised CPT loop that I have created a shortcode for to add in a text area one of the pages. I would however like these posts to be slider – basically like the testimonial slider that can be used from the page builder. But since this content I need to show, I can not show using the page builder, I’ve done it this way. I would however like to use the same jQuery plugin you are using for eg. the testimonials via the page builder. To avoid adding unnecessary plugins. I’ve tried adding the same classes to my custom loop – hoping it will start to slide, but with now luck. I would really appreciate it, if you could share with me the structure of the slider/s this theme use – eg. tags and classes. So that I can add it to my custom loop to turn it into a slider.
Thank you in advance.
Hey holmqvistdesign,
in the shortcode-processing.php file located in the nectar/tinymce directory you can find all the markup used by checking out the nectar_testimonial_slider and nectar_testimonial functions
Cheers
Thats awesome – did the trick, thank you! Would it be cheeky to ask where you ‘hide’ the portfolio hover animation goodies…? Reasons asking, eg. I’ve installed YARRP. And its required to make those thumbnails appear the same as the ones on the portfolio column pages (on hover an accent colour appear over the thumbnail with title that animates in). It would just be good to find out what element structure and classes is necessary to make it work the same and perhaps to be able to grab the same accent from the settings for that thumbnail.
Hey!
Which style are you using for the portfolio?
Cheers
Aaah yes sorry – I forgot that was something I specifically set – its the ‘Meta on hover + entire thumb link’ one. Thanks!
Glad that sorted it
Hehe, not really – I was wondering where the markup for ‘Meta on hover + entire thumb link’ is in the theme, so that I can apply the same effect to YARRP thumbnails?
Hey again – it’s located in the shortcode-processing.php file. Search for “nectar_portfolio_processing” to end up at the right place
Cheers
Brilliant – thank you! You’re a star!
You’re welcome
