    Hello,

    My client's past web designer purchased SalientVersion: 7.5.02. That is the current version we are using.

    I do not know the details of the purchase.

    The website works fine with PHP 7.4. When I upgrade to PHP 8.1, the website fails with this message: "There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions."

    Can you assist me in solving this issue. My host will not let us stay on PHP 7.4 much longer.

    Thank you,

    Steve Kozy for Oman-Gibson / 615-974-0090

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for choosing Salient.

    The updated PHP works with Salient update version 14. Please update using this guide:https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/.

    Thanks.

    We are having this same problem. I don't see where to download and install the necessary plugins to update in the link you provided. We are unable to reach the original developer.

    @Pat,

    Please update to the Latest Salient Theme Version.

    The current version of the theme is 15 and the current version of the page builder is 6.6. 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.

    Here's an update guide on what to expect when jumping many major releases at once: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/ take a read through before the update, as many things have changed.

    Best.

    Thanks Tahir. When I download and install the Envato Market plugin and generated and API token I get the error "Your OAuth Personal Token has been verified. However, there are no WordPress downloadable items in your account."

    We cannot reach the original developer and do not have any details of the original purchase.

    Salient v 8.0.15

    Wordpress v 6.1

    Hey Again,

    Unfortunately, you will need access to the themeforest account that purchased the Theme . If you cannot reach the original developer we would suggest purchasing a new regular license. 

    Thanks

    I'm confused... the theme says it comes with free lifetime updates, is that not true?

    Hey Again,

    Yes, it does come with Lifetime updates.

    You can download it for free if you have access to the Envato Account that purchased the license for you. 

    Thanks

    We already paid for the theme when we paid the developer, and now you're telling me that I have to pay for the theme again to update it, that isn't a free lifetime update.

    The developer should have installed the Envato Market plugin with the relevant token for you to access those updates.

    However since you can not reach the developer only way to access the update is to purchase a new license.

    Hope this clears your query.

    Thanks

    Is there any way that ThemeNectar can provide the singular plugin that is required to update? I am still confused why you advertise free updates and then tell me that I have to pay for the theme again.

    Hey Pat,

    Updates are provided for free. However, you need access to the account which actually purchased the theme in order to access your "downloads" section to download newer versions as they come out. Alternatively, as the support team mentioned, the Envato Market plugin can also be installed which will connect your Envato Account to the WordPress installation and provide updates through the dashboard - You'll also need access to the account that holds the license for Salient to set that plugin up. 

    Since you can't get in touch with the developer you worked with who purchased the theme for you to set that up, I would recommend contacting Envato directly to see if they can transfer the license to your current Envato account. You can reach out to them here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    That's ok, luckily I was able to find and download the theme from another website for free. Thanks anyway.
