I'm trying to set up a child theme for Salient so that when I do updates, I don't lose my theme changes. I got most of it to work following the attached website, however I discovered that several of my icons, specifically those from the linecon-icon set and steadysets-icon set don't show up. They just appear to be missing: http://screencast.com/t/hw1GAUqTDz0p However the regular icon set seem to be unaffected..
Do you have any ideas why? or how I can get them back?
Could you allow us to log in to your website backend dashboard so we can check on this for you more?. We are gonna need the username and password of admin user as well as the login url.
Ah, yeah I guess I could.. didn't realize that was there. If I install and use the new one (5.5), will I need to make text size adjustments again? or will I be able to save what I've done to the theme?
1. So I'd just make those changes again to the child theme, and then moving forward, I just continue to update the 'parent' right?
2. Also, will I need to modify the functions and stylesheet for this included salient-child-theme file? or just unpack it like normal on my host? It doesnt look like it has as much info as the one I made..
3. I noticed in your change log that 5.5.1 fixed issues with the child theme? Can I download that version? I didn't see it on the themeforest site.
Ok, I saw how to install the plugins, but that wasn't really my question.. I had asked:

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a child theme for Salient so that when I do updates, I don't lose my theme changes.

Hey!
No if you have modified the parent theme those changes would need to be made.
Also please see our changlog for more info http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html

A few more questions:
1. So I'd just make those changes again to the child theme, and then moving forward, I just continue to update the 'parent' right?
2. Also, will I need to modify the functions and stylesheet for this included salient-child-theme file? or just unpack it like normal on my host? It doesnt look like it has as much info as the one I made..
3. I noticed in your change log that 5.5.1 fixed issues with the child theme? Can I download that version? I didn't see it on the themeforest site.
Any response to my last 3 questions?
