Great theme I love it, I made some calculators in javascript, where exactly in the init.js folder do I paste the script?

Hey – you could any custom code you need directly after this line:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

I pasted the javascript in that spot and it didn’t work, I am calling for the function with a <script src=””> to the init.js file immediately above the html for the form. Is there anything I should be doing differently?

If you need to include a script like that you could just add it into the js element within your visual composer on the page needed. If you need to have it added to all pages you could paste it into the header.php file in the head tag :)

Hi there,

I seem to be having troubles publishing new blog posts. I bought your theme last year and have posted blogs before and it was never an issue.

The last two times I’ve tried, it completely wiped out my website content, pages, and posts. The only things visible are the background image and the menu bar.

I’ve contacted Just Host and they managed to use my backed up database to retrieve the files for the website; however, it doesn’t solve the problem for when I publish a new blog post. They’ve recommended that I contact the theme developer.

Any ideas or suggestions? It’s been really tough not being able to post on my website and I’m afraid that if I do, then it will get wiped out again.

Thank you!

Hey,

if you can open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials I’d be glad to take a look https://themenectar.ticksy.com/

Hi,

How do you edit the top menu and social bar borders in iPad and Mobile view?

Thanks!

Wondering, how do you make the image on standard blog thumbnails pattern to full width and hight on image box?

Hope you know what i mean, =)

Thanks!

1. Could you kindly share your URL in regards?

2. Is there anyway you could provide a mockup image showing what you’re looking to do so I could better assist?

Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for all the help, I figured out my problem. I have another thing I want to fix, I try to remove the second Categories title for the widgets, can you give me the code to do so?

Thanks!

Hi, love the theme but since updating to latest version I no longer see the social media settings option inside my post admin area. The one that enabled me to link to various social media sites and automatically post to them once I publish my post. Maybe I’ve made a change that turned it off or hidden it?

Can you help me find it as my posts are not being sent to any of my social media accounts.

Thanks

Hey,

That doesn’t sound like a feature of the theme – are you sure that functionality wasn’t coming from a plugin you had?

Cheers

Hello!

I’m trying to use pagination, as you can see on http://vidracaria.psdovidro.com.br/ but it’s not working.

Assuming that my perma link structure is my-site/index.php/post-name the link is not being built considering the “index.php” part. Even when I try to manually type http://vidracaria.psdovidro.com.br/index.php/page/2/ instead of “http://vidracaria.psdovidro.com.br/page/2/” to test… this does not work.

Could you help me?

Hi Nectar,

First thanks for this Awesome template. 2 months ago I bought this template for myself and it works great and i did a great website. Yesterday I bought the same for my company and I thought it was easy but it looks different. I don’t have the Nectar Elements with all the box which was so simple ! Do you know why I can’t have this ? Here is how it looks like ! : http://crosbyvolmer.com.cn/index.php/home-extended/

Thanks for your help !

Tom

Hey Tom!

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!

Hi,

I’ve used the pricing tables in tabs (adding a text block and then in it with Nectar Shortcodes I’ve added the pricing tables). So far, so good. All works on the front end but I’ve started to lately get the following error in the error log:

“PHP Notice: Undefined variable: column_class in /htdocs/wp-content/themes/salient2/nectar/nectar-vc-addons/vc_templates/pricing_table.php on line 24”

Any way to fix this? Thanks!

Hey again!

I’m seeing after each pricing table that a blank one is getting added below it – in the text tab on your editor are there any stray pricing table shortcodes you can find?

Thanks a lot! I noticed that there was just the “[pricing_table columns=”3”]” at the end of all pricing tables. Removed them now. Will let you know if I see any more errors. Thanks again – excellent support!

Great to hear! :)

Just figured out that slide ordering page is blank … :( and that this issue as I see from the discussion is about from a years ago why you didn’t fix it? Bloody hell ….?

Mark

Thanks

Hey Mark, there was an issue with the slider ordering page for one release and it was then fixed in the following one – if you’re on a relatively new version of the theme it shouldn’t be blank. If you’ve already confirmed no plugins are causing the issue please open open a ticket in regards with your admin credentials so I can take a look https://themenectar.ticksy.com

Hello there,

I am using the Salient theme on my website edinburghbedandbreakfast.com. However when viewed on a mobile device the Mobile Menu is invisible.

The menu is there in the background as it is clickable.

Hope you can help.

Steve

Hey Steve, what device are you seeing this occur on? So far I’ve been unable to replicate on an iPhone 5s/6

Cheers

Is there a way to change the background to an image?

Hey ryeguyfly, are you referring to a boxed or non boxed layout?

To a non boxed layout. I can see where you can for a boxed layout, but wasn’t sure for the non boxed layout.

Hey again – you could use visual composer rows to set a BG on any sectioning in a page or you could use a line of css to globally change every page to use a custom bg if desired

Cheers

How do you create the block quote with a button to the right, like in the demo “Like what you see? We’re just getting started” purple section. When I try to do it on our website, the button is not aligned correctly with the text:

https://suncoastcommunity.com/new/connect/life-groups-2/

Hey suncoastcommunitychurch,

Switch into the text tab in your editor and add the button shortcode into the heading tag :)

Cheers

Hello, I am currently having an issue with this theme. When I view it on mobile or on my iPad, the home slider is not responsive with the images used. When it is displayed on a computer, the home slider looks fine. Is there some custom css or a quick fix that I can do to make sure the home slider images are scaled correctly when viewing it on mobile devices? Thank you in advance!

Hey! I’d recommend using the Nectar Slider instead and activate the flexible height option – this will ensure the same aspect ratio is kept no matter the window size/device your site is viewed on :)

Cheers

So do you recommend that I just deactivate the home slider images and create a nectar slider. Then take my 3 images that I was using for my home slider and create a project category for the images? It was the home slider that I am having problems with the scaling of images.

Yes, you’d need to switch your page template back to the default one instead of using one of the home ones – then you could create the Nectar Slides in a similar way you did the home ones and finally add the Nectar Slider on your page via the Visual Composer page builder or by a shortcode

Erro fatal… when I try active Salient Visual Composer WP 4.2.1 Salient V: 5.5.51

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Vc_Manager in /home/jeferson/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/js_composer.php on line 28

Ok… “you need to deactivate the current version of VC you have before your can active the Salient one”

Hey – yes, you can only have one VC active at a time

Cheers

Hello ThemeNectar,

Since the last update I have trouble loading my single-portfolio sites in the correct preset layout through the visual composer. It just loads the correct layout after a second loading/refresh of the site. It seems that the “js composer.css” just gets loaded at the second run. I already tried some minify plugins but they crash the portfolio-template-site. It starts to get a bit frustrating, because I really need to get online soon and even through the private support-ticket I couldn’t get a solution yet. You would make my day, if you could help me with this problem. thx

Thank you!

Any news? I am using W3 Total Cache, my GooglePageSpeed insights are good as well and 128MB cache should be fine for this small portfolio page. What else can I do? It is a relatively small problem, but whatever portfolio-page I built with the new VC it just doesn’t load the correct layout. With other sides I do not have any problems like this, just within the portfolio! In the private ticket I attached two images where you can see that the ”::before” is missing in the first page load.

Thank you.

My provider just set my cache temporarily up to 512 MB and the problem was still there. So it is not a performance problem at all.

Hi Theme Nectar!, This is just a massive shout out to say thank you! I have never used Word Press before in my life! Run my own business and have 2 very active kids! But I wanted to learn because of how amazing, beautiful and incredible the Salient theme looked! It took a while to work it all out, but I can finally say I have pretty much finished my website! www.barilliant.com.au THANK YOU so much for such an amazing theme, all your support, all your patience and putting up with the silly questions!

Hey – that’s awesome to hear, thanks so much for the kind words and sharing your finished product :)

Hi,

I’ve just brought and installed the Salient theme, updated the Visual composer as you state, however when I now go to a page and select it the box disappears.

The Visual Composer is enabled on all pages as far as I can see – do you know what is up with this?

Thanks, Matt

Hey,

Hi there,

is it possible to remove the Admin menu entries “Home Slider” and “Nectar Slider” for any other user group except admins? Can you provide a code snippet for that?

Thx in advance moe

Hello!

I was wondering if you could offer a bit of assistance for something Im struggling with.

I currently have 2 columns. The column on the right is split into 2 rows. Each row has a background image.

What I need is for the 2 rows in the right column to auto be 50% of the column on the left so it all lines up.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Joe

Hey,

Unfortunately this wouldn’t currently be possible without some custom development but i’ve noted your +1 for the idea on the wishlist

Cheers

Hey Team,

I cant seem to upload a header image or an image to become any kind of slide slide. When I click on upload it says “javascript:void(). but I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated, :)

Hi ThemeNectar,

I’ve just updated WordPress and Salient theme to the latest versions and now get the following error:

“No id was set in the arguments array for the “Page Sidebar” sidebar. Defaulting to “sidebar-2”. Manually set the id to “sidebar-2” to silence this notice and keep existing sidebar content.”

Can you help?

Thanks,

Hey – where is that error displaying for you and are you sure it isn’t related to any plugins?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m getting that error along with other similar ones on the admin dashboard and whenever I visit the site. I’ve manually stopped all plugins and the error is still there. Switching to a default WordPress theme cleared the errors.

The other errors are the same but instead of “Page Sidebar” and “sidebar-2” they are “Blog Sidebar, WooCommerce Sidebar, Footer Area 1, Footer Area 2, Footer Area 3 and Footer Area 4” with respective, “sidebar-1, sidebar-3, sidebar-4, sidebar-5, sidebar-6 and sidebar-7”.

Thanks.

Hey – open your functions.php file and search for “widget areas” to end up at the right section. Change it to be this:

if(function_exists('register_sidebar')) {

    register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Blog Sidebar', 'id' => 'blog-sidebar', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Page Sidebar', 'id' => 'page-sidebar','before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    register_sidebar(array('name' => 'WooCommerce Sidebar', 'id' => 'woocommerce-sidebar', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));

    register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Footer Area 1', 'id' => 'footer-area-1', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Footer Area 2', 'id' => 'footer-area-2','before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));

    global $options; 
    $footerColumns = (!empty($options['footer_columns'])) ? $options['footer_columns'] : '4';
    if($footerColumns == '3' || $footerColumns == '4'){
        register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Footer Area 3', 'id' => 'footer-area-3', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    }
    if($footerColumns == '4'){
        register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Footer Area 4', 'id' => 'footer-area-4', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    }

    $sideWidgetArea = (!empty($options['header-slide-out-widget-area'])) ? $options['header-slide-out-widget-area'] : 'off';
    if($sideWidgetArea == '1') {
        register_sidebar(array('name' => 'Slide Out Widget Area', 'id' => 'slide-out-widget-area', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">','after_widget'  => '</div>', 'before_title'  => '<h4>', 'after_title'   => '</h4>'));
    }

}

Cheers
