Hi,

Trying to update php.ini settings so that I can upload additional demo content. I’ve tried for some time today to update the php.ini file on my FTP but to no avail, is it possible to install the theme for me with log in details?

Install Information: Dreamhost Fully Hosted PHP 5.5

Username: abyssdevelopment Password: abydev-pass24

Hi Jack,

We cannot do anything unless you have increased your PHP limits, you can ask the hosting company to do it for you that’s their responsibility.

After you’ve done that you can easily install the demo content without any problems, if you encounter any problem we will take care of it.

P.S. Please hide your information because your site will get hacked, never publish these kind of credentials here.

Header seems not to respond to static or absolute setting, ¿What behavior should I expect?. Thanks.

Have you checked it in other pages, sometimes it doesn’t affect anything because the content of that page is too short and you can’t see the results.

Art

Yes, I’ve checked both in short pages as in long portfolio pages with the same behavior. I’ll test it again locally and will contact you again when the site be online if I can’t fix it. Thanks.

Okay that would be better so we can see it live :)

...And I have a second question: My contact form does not seem to work. When you hit the send button you don’t see the feedback I filled in people supposed to see. It only works when I send the message when I’m logged in in Wordpress… That’s weird?

Ahh, sorry for misunderstanding.

It is weird why this happens only to you, just try it here and see if it works also for you:

http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/contact-3/

But I guess you have removed that ”#” sign when you translated the contact form, thats why it doesn’t work. Here is the quickfix:

http://drops.laborator.co/14seF

Download this and extract, then upload those two files in kalium/assets/js/ folder in your server, it should fix your problem.


Arlind

It works now! Thanks!!

Glad to hear that :)

Hi there,

This is Madeeha and I’m a huge fan of Kalium. I bought this theme yesterday. I am having hard time setting it up. Is there any detailed documentation? I am trying to make a portfolio like Agency theme. Can you guys share agency theme code that I can just use it by replacing the images and text?

Best, Madeeha

Hi Madeeha,

can you please post with the account you bought the theme, this way we can verify that you’re a real customer as we do not offer support to users who doesn’t have “Purchased” badge.

Hi! I’m not using the search button in my site. But it is still showing in the mobile version in the menu and it gives detailed results with CSS info? How can I remove either the CSS results or the complete search site-button in the mobile version?

Hi Clautje1967,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.mobile-menu-wrapper .mobile-menu-container .search-form {
  display: none !Important;
}

that will do the trick :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks! Works fine now!

Glad to hear that :)

Default Blog Template question:

The video it’s not showing in the thumbnail for rounded list in the blog template, only when I choose square blog template. What do I do? thanks :)

Hi there,

It doesn’t show but what you have to do is upload a custom thumbnail for it.

SOCIAL NETWORKS INSTAGRAM BUTTON QUESTION:

1) Share Story Networks don’t have instagram button option for blog and portfolio. The theme offers to set the appearing order of instagram social networks in the footer only?

2) How do I set the rounded buttons within the singles pages for blog and portfolio in the theme options instead of text? Do I need to use VC to insert rounded social networks for each post and portfolio?

Thanks!

Hi there,

1. The reason why we haven’t added the Instagram to the share is that we could not integrate it together with WordPress, because Instagram has a different form of sharing things.

2. You can manage this through the Theme Options, make sure you tweak a little with it so you will know the theme better.

Kind Regards,
Art

1) ok

2) Blog settings: theme options don’t show where to set the rounded buttons. Blog single pages shows only text for social network.

Hi pinguina,

1. Great :)

2. I’m sorry but we don’s support rounded buttons of social icons on blog, we will check if we can support them on blog too on later update :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Since I purchased your theme I’ve been trying to make color changes and still having issues and WP Dashboard > Laborator > Theme Options > Theme Styling It’s NOT working as I was expecting. I’ve been trying to find the correct css by reading all posts to figure out from discussion and it’s seem that lot’s of people is having issue setting colors.

The portfolio heart (counter like-count) on thumbnails is black and white hover, underline and that’s not the color of the site.

I Would appreciate if you could please send the correct CSS for it?

Thank you!

Hi there,

You can do that via the Custom CSS, by pasting these lines of code:

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white .likes a {
background-color: red;
}

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white .likes a .counter, .portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white .likes a i {
color: blue;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

thanks!

Glad to hear that :)

Cheers!
Art

hello, I am using the Kalium Theme (Agency Version) and have a few questions: 1. is it possible to change the heart icons in the portfolio when I hover over it? 2. how can I change the big font on the main page (typing effect) ? 3. can I delete the menu symbol in the right corner or change it?

Thank you :)

Hi there,

I answered your first question in your other comment, 2. You can do this easily by adding this to the Custom CSS:

.auto-type-element {
font-size: 30px;
}

3. You can do this through the Theme Options and select the menu you want.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you!!! how do I change the font for the auto type element? is it also possible to have an individual icon for every object when hovering on it?

Hi there,

Above you have the answer for the auto type element font size, regarding your second question I am sorry but this is not possible with Kalium.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello! Once again, bravo on Kalium – it’s truly a great minimalist theme. A really quick question, I’m trying to add social media buttons to my footer but despite organizing what sites I want to show up, I can’t for the life of me make the appear in the footer. How do I add social media buttons?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Thank you for your kind words, first you need to set up the social networks in Laborator > Theme Options > Social Networks and then on the Theme Options see the Footer section find the Footer Right field and paste this:
[lab_social_networks]

Kind Regards,
Art

(Kalium V1.3)

I very much like the abstracted maps you have shown on your example content sites. I am now trying to create a map using the Visual Composer modules.

I note that there are two map modules in Visual Composer.

1) Google Maps – Map block 2) Map – insert Google Map (Laborator)

I have successfully created a location specific map using module #1 but it is a standard, and not very attractive, Google Map.

I believe the second module is used for the abstract maps. I have successfully installed the #2 module and it presents a map centered in the Indian Ocean. I have searched in vain for the popup box that allows me to enter the geographic coordinates to establish my desired location.

In answer to another user’s query you replied “changing the location of the map is easy, click at the top of the page Edit (if you’re logged in as admin) and click the pen icon of Map Location, now a popup will appear where you need to change the latitude and longitude of the map position.” I cannot find the “pen icon of Map Location.” How do I get to this popup? Oh, what I would give for some practical documentation on your fine theme

It is my hope that the popup, once found, will include a field for the map style, which I can acquire from SnazzyMaps.

Thank you in advance for your help.

As a postscript: I inquired three days ago about another issue – SPAN tags showing in the Category Header of a sorted blog page (sidebar right page format). This issue also appears in your sample content site. The suggested replacement of blog-section-title.php did not resolve the issue. I am hoping for suggestions on how to proceed.

Hi heliodon,

Follow this two steps,

Step 1: (view large version)

Step 2: (view large version)

It’s very easy, and you can do it :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yes, I see now. It was not intuitive to me that I should click on the + symbol in the map container. I thought that would just add another VC module to the row container.

Thank you for your help!

Hi heliodon,

Don’t worry about that, foremost that the work is done :)

P.S: 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 ) :)

hello, I am using the Kalium Theme for Agencies. Is it possible to change the hover effect symbol which is a heart into something else?

Hi there,

The only way to do it is via Custom CSS by pasting this code:

.icon.fa-heart-o:before {
  content: "\f236";
}

Here you will find the code for all the icons.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Very elegant theme. Just one quick question, how can i make the menus exactly like your Agency demo, with a fixed bar across as well as a (different) full menu hidden in the hamburger in a site integrated with woocommerce? I have tried all the menu options under Heading & Menu setup and none of them worked.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks, Carole

Hi Carole,

This is how we have set up the menu: http://drops.laborator.co/6pG7

Also the border across the menu is added via Theme Options in the border settings.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

Thanks for coming back to me. Sorry i wasn’t being clear. Yes I understand how to setup the menus and have be doing so from the start. However, I could not make my menus work in such a way like your Freelancer demo where you have one fixed Standard Menu and a top menu that’s toggled by the hamburger. I have already checked the box under the Top Menu option to force to have it included in the header but it doesnt show up. Is there any other things I should fixed i my selection so that I get 2 menus working just like your Freelancer demo.

Thanks, Carole

Hi Carole,

I have set up my website using the Architecture theme with the portfolio arranged as thumbnails with visible titles. On my page, the text for the titles is very large and I was looking to scale it down similar to the Our Work page in the theme. Is there a setting I have missed or code I need to add?

Hi there,

I can give you a Custom CSS for it but first I need to have a look at your site so I have a better idea for what you’re talking about.

Kind Regards,
Art

Will there be an issue if this is a staging site and is not yet live?

You can e-mail us the URL of your site.

Hi, I sent you a few questions 4 days ago and I am still wondering about it.

I have a new questions: (leticiadamiao.com.br)

1) in Share Story Networks for portfolio there’s no instagram icon option

2) I don’t like the text for the social network and I can’t find the option to change to round style (portfolio) to consistent with the blog and footer.

3) Size and colors for Main menu. I would like to be able to control it from the titles/header. the main navigation is too small and titles are huge with the same color.

4) sometimes while I am editing a portfolio item, the page shows portfolio type 1 and/or type 2. How do I control it? How do I now which one is what?

5) I need to add a sidebar in some of the Single post (Blog). Is it possible?

Looking forward to your support :) Thanks

Hi pinguina

We apologize for any delay, during the weekend we are not in the office. Here are my answers to your questions (fyi I was not able to view your site, it was in coming soon mode):

1. Instagram icon cannot appear in “share story” because it is not possible to share a story in Instagram, we have used some of the social networks that support content from blogs to be shared.

2. To add rounded social networks in the footer simply apply this shortcode (a little modified):

[lab_social_networks class="rounded-social-networks"]

But in order this to take effect, download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/hmqa and replace it in kalium/inc/ folder, then download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/1294c and replace in kalium/assets/css/ folder.

3. To change size and color for navigation, you need to apply your own CSS, I can help you with this but I cannot access your site.

4. Here is the explanation for active portfolio type: http://drops.laborator.co/1fWrX

5. Sidebar is currently not supported in blog posts because of the structure of blog posts and there is no place for sidebar according to the single blog post design.

I hope my answers will help you.

Bug (?) with Portfolio Categories in Menu vs On Page.

Hi Guys.

I have the Menu set up to show the portfolio page, and have sub pages below it one for each category. When accessed from the theme menu these links seem to point to a ‘portfolio-category’ directory such as (website.com/portfolio-category/<category1>) which works fine.

however, from that page when you then click another category from the portfolio categories menu rendered on the page (and not going to the main menu again) it tries to append that new category onto the previous one, such as (website.com/portfolio-category/<category1>/#cat:<category2>). This essentially seems to be telling the page to render anything in category one AND category 2 on the same page.

If you simply to go the portfolio page, which has that same portfolio menu rendered on it, (and ignore the main theme menu) the links to various categories work like this: website.com/portfolio/?portfolio-category=<category1> and switching between categories is super fast and fluid.

Any suggestions here?

Hi

Thanks for your brilliant explanation.

I have tried a fix for that, so it will load other portfolio category items as well:

Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/14seb

Replace in kalium/tpls folder.

I hope it will work for you.


Arlind

that fixed it. thanks as always

Glad to hear that :)
