I own the SalientVersion: 5.5.3 and the WPBakery Visual Composer Version 5.0.1. I have tried every way I know how to upgrade this theme. When using only the js_composer_salient plugin, I have no element buttons for vc, just a white opaque screen on my posts and pages when trying to even add a row. When I try to add just the wpbakery visual composer, without the salient composer, I lose all of my custom code added to each page and every page reset the design. Please lead me to determine what I need to do to fix this site so I can create blogs again.
Salient 7.6 is available for Download on the Themeforest Download Page , Visual Composer has also been Updated to Version 4.12.1.
If you're upgrading from Salient VC 4.9.2 earlier, you'll need to delete the plugin from your plugins section in the WordPress admin panel before installing the current version (4.12.1) in Appearance > Install Plugins - This is necessary due to a bug in the Salient VC 4.9.2 which prevents regular updating.
I just purchased the salient last night. everytime I try to update my entire site breaks with an error 500! I have been battling this theme for over a week and I am losing money. I have salient 5.5.3 and vc salient 4.12.1. I need better direction.
