Hey teaqueue ,

Be sure to take a backup of the site before updating. If you dont have any major customizations in place it should not break. 

Please update to the Latest Salient Theme Version.

The current version of the theme is v16.4.0 (8/23/24) and the current version of the page builder is 7.8 . 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

To get a list of Bug Fixes and new Feature addons in the Latest Theme updates view change log here http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html .

Thanks.

Additionally, turn off all bundled plugins and then update it via the Envato Market Plugin or Manually via the upload feature. 

Thanks 

Hello there,

Thanks for writing back.

Since you are updating from an old version then the site is potentially able to break.

I would request you do the following.

-Use this guide to help update - https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/

-Also ensure you first update on a staging site with the help of a developer so that once it is successful you can migrate to your live site so that your live site is not interfered with.

Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, don't hesitate to write back, I'm happy to help. 

Hey Again,

The Code shown is likely due to the Bundled plugins not activated. Please do so and it should work as normal : https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/installing-plugins-updated/ 

Thanks.
