Whenever I try to enter text in the search box, it appears backwards. See attached screenshot where I tried to enter the word "welcome". At first I thought there was a float property in my CSS causes the problem but I removed the one instance I found and the problem still persisted.
I also saw this related issue but I do not have the lightbox evolution plugin installed. There is only one plugin I installed recently and I disabled it but the problem persists. Could it be related to a recent update to Salient?
I've been using salient for a while, and this continues to be an issue when I update the parent theme.
Is there a better solution we can use in the child theme to fix this so it doesn't break every time we update the theme? Some way to do this without changing the Salient core theme files??
@Chris, This in most cases is caused by a Third Party Plugin script .
Could you try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.
Hello. My name is David Sharples. I've recently run into this issue with my client's website. Entering text into the search menu results in the text being entered right to left instead of left to right. I've attempted to use solutions provided here to remove code from the init.js file in the js folder but the problem persists. I've also tried deactivating plugins to see if it is a plugin conflict but even with no plugins active the problem is still occurring.
They are using version 7.5.02 of Salient theme but are unable to update it because of customizations made by another developer that would get overwritten that they need kept. Please let me know if you can assist with this issue.
Thank you for your response, Tahir, but as I've said I've already tested for third party plugin conflicts. I've deactivated all plugins on the site and the problem persists. In addition, I mentioned that I cannot upgrade the Salient theme as the client has custom features done by another developer that won't transfer, would be erased in the update and it will result in the site breaking. We are also no longer using WPBakery for page construction as it no longer functions with the current version of the theme and have since replaced it with Elementor.
If there was a fix to the search bar in the latest version to work with the latest version of Wordpress, can we integrate it into the older version of the theme or otherwise fix what is causing the issue in the version 7.5.02 of Salient? Please me know.
In most of the cases that were reported to us, the Backwards text issue was caused due to a Conflict with Third Party Code therefore a bug fix was never released.
I've read over this page and from what I see there was a fix within the javascript code in the init.js file in the js folder. I've attempted this, but it was unsuccessful. I've also tried doing a conflict check and even with all plugins disabled the problem persists. As I cannot update the theme, I need professional help with people familiar with the theme's code in order to find and correct the problem. Can you do this or put me in touch with people who can help?
I am also experiencing the same issue. Let me know if anybody finds a solution. I have already did a troubleshoot with all of the third party plugins. Could it be the new wordpress core?
It has something to do with the latest WordPress core update and jQuery Migrate. I was able to fix once I installed and activated the "Enable jQuery Migrate Helper" plugin. It has helped fix some of my other sites that have experienced issues since the latest WP 5.5 update. Hope this helps.
This issue will occur when using WordPress 5.5 combined with a version of Salient prior to 12.1.1 - We released a fix for this issue in that version: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

@BlackballDesign, If you can't update your version of Salient, you'll need to still download the new version and copy the newer "navigationSearchInit" function from salient/js/init.js to apply to your older version.
I've installed a copy of the "Enable jQuery Migrate Helper" plugin and it appears to have worked. Thank you very much, Clag75.
I've downloaded a copy of the latest Salient theme and compared the new init.js to the one in my client's theme, but it looks like there isn't a navigationSearchInit function to replace. It's possible that too was modified by a previous developer.
If there is a private means to send a copy of the website's init.js file to the Developer to have a look at, would it be possible to check to see how we can fix the problem in it?
Salient has seen a large rewrite since v7 - in that version, there's no explicit function named "navigationSearchInit" in the init.js, but the relevant code is located around lines 7155: https://pastebin.com/uaKjvpke
Kindly open a separate ticket in regards if you need further assistance with this.
Hello. I've found the code in the original init.js file that you provided via pastbin, but I'm not sure what to do with the navigationSearchInit code from the new copy. I cannot find the same code in the new version of the file, but like you said it was likely renamed and rewritten.
I'll open a separate private ticket and send what I need help with there. Thank you for your help.
This is BlackballDesign. I've logged onto my client's profile to send through a new private ticket regarding fixing the old init.js file with code from the new version. I've provided a link to it here. Please let me know if you can help me with this, thanks.

The following are deprecations logged from the front-end of your site, or while live deprecation notices were disabled in the admin area.
Please update to the Latest Salient Theme Version.
The current version of the theme is 12.1.5 and the current version of the page builder is 6.4.2. Salient versions older than v11 won't be compatible with WordPress 5.5.
Here's the documentation on the available methods for updating Salient: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#methods Once you've updated that, the update for the included page builder will become available. Note that "Visual Composer" also renamed their plugin on Envato to "WPbakery page builder" a couple of years back.
I am having the same issue. This was resolved for several months by using Enable jQuery Migrate Helper but it is no longer working after updating wordpress. I have disabled all plugins and the issue is still occurring. Do you have any additional troubleshooting steps? Our site is on salient version 8.5.3 and wordpress 5.6.1

Hey Adam,
that's not a known issue with the latest Salient but if you can supply with a URL I would be glad to look for errors
Cheers :)
Well I have no idea why your script is failing (no errors in the console) but if you open the init.js file in the js folder and delete this:
$('#search input[type=text]').keyup(function(){ if($(this).attr('value') == ''){ $(this).attr('value', $placeholder); $(this).setCursorPosition(0); } });It should work :)
Cheers
That worked! Thank you!
After updating to Version: 8.5.0 the snippet you're looking for is on line 8983
$('body:not(.material)').on('keyup','#search input[type=text]',function(){
if($(this).attr('value') == ''){
$(this).attr('value', $placeholder);
$(this).setCursorPosition(0);
}
});
I've been using salient for a while, and this continues to be an issue when I update the parent theme.
Is there a better solution we can use in the child theme to fix this so it doesn't break every time we update the theme? Some way to do this without changing the Salient core theme files??
Snippet is now on line 10400 for v10.0.1
Can this be fixed in a future update, or at least with an on/off option?

Can you see if there is a solution for the backwards search.

Did you try testing for a Plugin Conflict ?. I am seeing a number of Third Party Plugins which could be causing this:
