Hi Paul,

This can be done via Custom CSS because there is not other option for it.

.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark div.menu>ul>li>a:after, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark ul.menu>li>a:after {
  background-color: #D02831;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

it works! Thank you for your superfast support!

It would help us a lot if you could rate Kalium on ThemeForest from your Downloads tab, if you don’t know how just open this link

Thanks

Hi Laborator, your trick to change the color of the animated underline worked perfekt! I have an additional question: is it possible to change the thickness of these underline? Thank you and best regards! Paul

Hi Andi,

This has to be done manually because there isn’t any option for this, so I went to the theme File Editor and edited this file: laborator_filters.php, in case you want to change it just search for excerpt and replace the values.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art – what I was looking for, thanks.

One thing to fix, please: the value entered in the code remains visible after the last word of the excerpt. Could you replace this number with an ellipsis (...)?

And since we’re talking about the blog: how can I change color of “older post” and “newer post” (including single post title)?

Andi

Hey Andi,

Please make sure that the last value needs to be like this to display the …

function laborator_default_excerpt_more()
{
    return "(…)";
}

Regarding the questions with Next/Prev color, this will change the color of these buttons:

.single-blog-holder .post-controls .next-post strong, .single-blog-holder .post-controls .prev-post strong {
color: red !important;
}

.single-blog-holder .post-controls span {
color: blue !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks Art, I’d rate 6 stars if I could!

1. The colors work.

2. Unfortunately the thing with the ”...” I wasn’t able to solve yet. As you can see in the screenshot, the value entered in the code appears as number in the excerpt If instead of this number I had the ellipsis, that would make me very happy. If it’s not possible, can we at least make disappear the number?

I just noticed that when creating a new page the only available template is portfolio page and it wont give me other options such as team page or contact?! Should I provide you wp log-in infos?

Hi Hajar,

1. The only template available is the Portfolio templates, the other pages are built with the Visual Composer by adding each elements one by one, for example in the Contact page you add three elements: map, contact form and text block. It’s the same for other pages too, once you get used to it you will see it is a better option because you can add elements wherever you want.

2. To have this you need to go to a page and add a new element via Visual Composer, the element name is Auto Type, after you’ve clicked it there are instructions on how to use it.

Hope it was clear enough, so now you know a bit how the theme works.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Thank you for your help! Now I get how it works. Just one more question.

How can I add the social media links for each team member like your demo site?

When you add a member you can add the social networks in the description of that member.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you very much for all your help. I’m almost done with our company website http://www.kajart.com/

Just one small thing. The menu icon at the top right of the homepage is black, but when you scroll down and then come back to the top it changes to the default blue color of the theme. Is there any css code that I can add to change the colour to black?

Cheers, Hajar

Hi Hajar,

Try adding this to the Custom CSS, it should fix it:

.menu-bar .ham:after, .menu-bar .ham:before {
  background: #222 !important; 
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you so much!

It’s now black but same thing happens with the menu item … when you scroll down and then scroll back to the top, the menu items underline on hover state is still blue. This only happen on the home page though!

I promise this is the last question

Thanks again!

Hi again,

Add this to the Custom CSS:

.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul>li>a:after, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu>li>a:after {
color: #222 !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you Art,

But the line is still blue after scrolling back to the top. This only happens on the homepage :/

Hi Hajar,

I’m not noticing this problem that you are writing, have you fixed that ?

Please hard refresh your browser, because if you are using a cache plugin it will need a hard refresh to see changes.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

I hard refreshed the browser and even empty my cache! But it’s still there. It only happens on the top menu (First the underline is black) but if you scroll down and then scroll up to the top the underline color becomes blue. Noticed this happen in all the pages on the menu!

Thank you for your help! Hajar

Hi there

Its strange how this happens.

Please try separating Posts Grid and Portfolio Items widgets in two different rows, this should work in your case.

Cheers

Arlind

hi..

Posts Grid and Portfolio Items are already in two different row..

can i give you the admin logins,so that you can check..

Hi there,

Send us an an e-mail with the credentials please, we want to check what we can do about it.

Do you have a direct email i can send these login details to?

To send us email use this link. Please note that we usually do not respond to emails that request support, because here is our primary support forum. We use contact form just for sending sensitive information.

okey..

messaged you from the link.. please check..

thank you

Got the e-mail, we will get into your issue as soon as we can.

hello,

have you got time to look in the issue..

Forget my question! I figured out how to change it when I found the javascript you posted for the Revolution Slider! Thanks for that

There is still one issue, the menu is pushed down for the top some odd reason, if you can tell me why, I would really appreciate it!

I also have one other question, Is there any way to set a thumbnail in the portfolio masonry to be an external link? If not, can I in any way add the “project link” field from within the portfolio iten to display on the thumbnail hover, just as the item’s name and categories show?

Hi RachelAdler,

Can you please check your website URL, we can’t open your site now.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

That is odd, it works on all my computers, phones, etc. Can you try again? If not I will check with my host. Thanks!

Hi there,

Tried it again but it won’t open, also there doesn’t seem to be a problem with my IP because it tried it with a proxy too but it won’t work.

Kind Regards,
Art

I really apologize for the website now showing. I spoke to my host and all seems to be sorted now. Can you have a look now? Thanks so much!

Hi Rachel,

I’m sorry but we still can’t open your site, http://drops.laborator.co/1kOlR

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

OH, MY! I wrote the wrong site! It is shopthedecorator.com I am so so sorry! I cannot believe that I wrote the wrong site and have been calling the host to drive them crazy that people cannot see it.

Hi konrad

Thanks for your kind words and patience.

1. Here is the quickfix for this: http://drops.laborator.co/164ZC Download this file and replace assets/css/ folder.

2. After analyzing the behaviour of the hover line we thought its better to remove it, but I have applied the hover underline again. The file you will replace in issue 1 has the required CSS for this question.

3. Sure you can do this, here is the custom css for that:

.single-portfolio-holder .social-buttons .social-share-icon.like-btn span {
  opacity: 1 !important;
  -webkit-opacity: 1 !important;
  -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
  margin-top: 12px;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.single-portfolio-holder .social-buttons .social-share-icon.like-btn i {
  margin-top: -14px;
}

4. Download and replace this file: http://drops.laborator.co/33Ee in assets/js/ directory, this will make entire area clickable on iPhone too.

5. This is great suggestion indeed! The file you will replace in 4 will fix this too.

6. I have fixed this, the fix will be available in the next update. The next update will be released during the next week.

7. Current height for this container on phone is 60% so you can change this to a smaller value:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .single-portfolio-holder.portfolio-type-5 .portfolio-description-container {
        max-height: 40%;
    }
}

8. Yes we have lot of ideas to implement in the future updates, I will write down

9. It is weird how this happens to you, please make sure you haven’t disabled in page options in portfolio item, otherwise I can look in your admin page and see what I can do.

10. I don’t know what to say, this error is being generated by the plugin, see the screenshot: http://drops.laborator.co/1i5dE

The location of file is this:

I guess plugin developers can detect what is causing that because I don’t know how they have coded this gallery plugin.

11. We haven’t implemented this feature yet, we will do this in the future, you can do this manually, to disable the Nivo Lightbox open inc/laborator_actions.php remove lines 50-52 and then you can install custom lightbox, then install any preferred lightbox from wordpress:

And configure to work with your site.

I hope my answers will make sense and work for you.

Cheers

Arlind

Hey Arlind, thank you so much, you guys really rock

everything makes sense and works. With the All in One plugin I wrote to the plugin support, and with the lightbox-plugins, I will experiment.

I’m looking forward to the next update, maybe I don’t need any lightbox or other VC plugins anymore

One Note to #9: I wasn’t clear enough. I set up a new page without portfolio template, so I don’t “lose” the sharing icons, I don’t get them. My question is: building up my own portfolio item with VC and without the portfolio template – not to be restricted by this template – can i insert the sharing and liking feature?

Thank you very much!!

konrad

Hi konrad

Thanks for your kind words. During that day we have released new version of Kalium including latest version of Visual Composer so I guess that have solved any of your issues.

Concerning your #9 question, the “liking” feature is only available for Portfolio post type and cannot be applied to any other post type in this case, I am sorry about that.

We hope that you will improve your rating on our theme, because as you see we are trying our best to release new updates with a lot of new options and fixes

Arlind

Hi Arlind

I was happy for the update, but the new VC didn’t change anything concerning the “All in One” Add On for VC, which doesnt work properly with Kalium. I tried to switch to another theme and there it works. http://paintedbynature.ch/test/

The Update doens’t change also the problem with VC in portfolio item, whereas everything is shifted by 12 PX to the right, including the sharing and liking icons. Ylli told me some CSS code to set the margin to 0, which works, but i have to do it for all pages.

No1. the hover effect wich is through the pictures is still there, when adding new images see here: http://paintedbynature.ch/test4/ here it is still ok: http://paintedbynature.ch/repertoir/

No6. it is fixed, but, as soon as I change to absolute, the responsiveness doesn’t work anymore in the right way. The title gets over my custom logo. Ylli helped me with this with some CSS code, but I have to do it page by page.

No11. I tried some other lightboxes but either I can’t activate them in the portfolio item or, just the same way als your nivo lightbox.

Thanks for all the work. for you guys and your help I give six stars. for portfolio limitations I can’t give more than 3. I just like a fullscreen way to present my pictures, with smooth fades and thumbnails. Fullscreen also for mobile device. Maybe next update?? Thanks a lot.

konrad

Hi Kalium Team, I don’t want to make the impression everything must be perfect. You guys really do a amazing job. I’d give you personally 10 stars for your friendliness, effort and support. And with all customizations with CSS is wonderful and fair enough. I listed the things in case you want to improve and fix some problems. For me personally the Kalium theme is from the layout the nicest I found. (I bought also the 7, but stick to your Kalium, even, if the 7 has some more portfolio and gallery options…) I just experience some portfolio limitations, which I can’t manage to work around even with other plugins and add ons. Besides of that – you guys really are fantastic. Thank you very much. konrad

Hi

If you want to have a portfolio like this:

Simply set this option:

To Merged and portfolio items will stick together.

I hope I understood you right.

Arlind

Hi Sorry I wasn’t clear. There will be spacing around each item like this http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium but my issue is there are big spaces between each item http://objest.com/home/ how do I have a consistent gap around each but close the big spaces..I hope this is a little clearer?

2. Also looking where to find the logo link. Currently the logo links to blog. I want it to link to home?

3. How do I also activate the blog content from your template. there is a bag blog with no content?

Thanks

Please try adding this Custom CSS and see if that works fine for you:

#isotope-portfolio-items {
margin-left: 7px;
}
#isotope-portfolio-items .isotope-item {
padding-left: 7px;
padding-right: 7px;
}

Arlind

Hi John

Firstly thanks for your kind words!

Yes, this issue has appeared in the last update and since then I don’t have any clue what causes them not to work.

If you add this custom CSS it will probably fix your issue in whole site pages:

.fa {
  font-family: FontAwesome !important;
}

Please confirm if this fix will work for you.

Arlind

That worked great! Thank you.

I have two new questions.

1. Is it possible to make two different portfolios, one public and one private (only accessible with a link). If so how?

2. How can I get the links to my footer social icons to open in a new window.

Thanks! John

Hi there,

We will add this as a feature and we will simplify it in the upcoming updates, until then you can do it manually by going through Revolution Slider > Slider Name > Settings and scroll down to CSS / JavaScript and paste this in the Custom JavaScript:

revapi1.bind("revolution.slide.onchange",function (e,data) {

    if(data.slideIndex == 1 || data.slideIndex == 2 || data.slideIndex == 3)
    {
        setHeaderLogo('http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/logo-transparent@2x1.png', 50, 50);

    }
    else
    {
        revertHeaderLogo();        
    }

});

Please make sure that the revapi1 changes depending on your slider number.

Kind Regards,
Art

Ironically, this discussion page software seems to have removed the SPAN tags that show up in the title. If the web page did this I would be in good shape.

Hi

Well, if you have replaced the file it should take effect, I will send you again the updated file link:

Download it and replace in this directory:

wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

Also make sure to clean the cache if you are already using a caching plugin because that might be the reason.

I hope this will work for you.

Arlind

Hi Alicia,

You can add sub-categories but unfortunately you can’t display them as sub-categories in the main page, we are aware of this issue and we will look forward to implement it somehow as a new feature in the upcoming updates.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you very much for the quick answer.I will try the solve that.

On the other side, i just want some categories (1,2,3,4) to be showed in one portfolio. And make another portfolio with other categories (5,6,7).

I saw that when you add the portfolio items element, it shows a buttom “build query”. It show “click here and start typing” but it doent work.

Can you help me?

Thank you

Hi there,

You have to try writing the name of category in the Taxonomies field, here you can filter specific categories.

Kind Regards,
Art

I can´t make it works…I filter the categories in the Taxonomies, and still appear all of them

This is how i did:

And this is how it looks:
