Dear Kalium – I am enjoying your theme as I continue to mockup a site about my photography. I have two questions:
1. My blog posts contain text and images. The inline images appear slightly darker and more grey than they should as though there is a transparent overlay the size of the image (not a good thing from the perspective of this photographer.) If I click on an image to reveal its larger version (in the lightbox-like effect) then the darkness and reigns goes away. The inline darkening is slight but unwanted, Can I get rid of it?
See http://kapcris.com/work/2015/07/06/headlands-week-2/ for an example. Compare the inline image to the same image after you click on it.
2. On a portfolio page clicking on an inline image opens a larger version of the image in a lightbox-like effect. The original page remains below but is greyed out by a dark transparent overlay. Is there a way to make this overlay even darker?
See http://kapcris.com/work/portfolio/middle-period-photographs/ for an example.
Thank you for your theme, and your help.
ps. I do not get a shift in photographs tones when the page is viewed on an iPad. And, “reigns” = “grey” in the message above (darn autocorrect.)
Hi Helidon,
1— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.fluidbox-ghost {
filter: alpha(opacity=1) !Important;
-webkit-opacity: 1 !Important;
-moz-opacity: 1 !Important;
opacity: 1 !Important;
}
2— Just add the code below to Custom CSS
.nivo-lightbox-theme-default.nivo-lightbox-overlay {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.85) !important;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Perfect Ylli, thank you.
A quick question: do changes made to Custom CSS persist through a version upgrade of Kalium or must they be redone after an upgrade?
Ylli – I am looking more closely and issue #1 is not quite resolved. After I have applied your Custom CSS code and here is what happens:
1) On page load the inline images have the slightly grey effect (alpha channel?) thatI am trying to remove.
2) Clicking on an inline image shows a lightbox version of the selected image with correct exposure.
3) Clicking outside the image to return the page causes the inline image to have the correct exposure (no slightly grey effect).
So, your CSS code fixes an inline image if it has been clicked but the original page load still has the slightly grey and unwanted effect for each image. The grey effect returns if I reload a page.
See http://kapcris.com/work/2015/07/06/headlands-week-2/ for an example.
Thanks for your help.
I should also say that I checked this issue in three different browsers (Safari, Firefox, and Opera) and tried clearing the cache in each.
Hi heliodon,
I investigated this and found that the plugin creates 2 images one for the thumbnail thumb link, and one original image . The plugin when takes a thumbnail it creates a darker version of that image, and i’m afraid that we can’t do anything about that, if this is very important for you here is the link of plugin where you can contact the author direct http://terrymun.github.io/Fluidbox

Hi Ylli,
Thank you, as always, for responding to my issue. I have tracked the problem down to how the Wordpress Media Library importer creates its various daughter files (sixteen in all ranging from 150×150 to full size) from the original imported. image. The issue is reproducible on a Wordpress site that has neither Kalium or the Fluidbox plugin.
The solution is straightforward: use the Save for Web function in Photoshop to assure the color palette is web compatible. Unfortunately, Adobe removed Save for Web from its recent Photoshop CC versions and I lazily skipped using it. It is now found again in Export > Save for Web (legacy) and using this solves the issue, which was an important one for me.
Best,
Cris
Hi Cris,
Wow, brilliant 
I was thinking of this solution when i wrote your answer but i thought that it will be too complicated to tell the customer to do this.
I’m very glad that you found this solution, if anyone else will have this problem, i will give them your solution for sure 
Kind Regards,

Hi
After updating to 1.3.1 my theme background colour does not apply.
Hi marckeeling,
This is very strange, can you please send us your WP credentials on email and we will check what the problem is.
To send us email use this link and please write us your request again, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.
P.S: 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.

I sent the mail. Thanks
I have installed layersliderwp but I have this alert showing in plugins:
You need to authorize this site in order to get upgrades or support for this plugin. Purchase a license or enter an existing purchase code.
Is there a code to receive updates?
Thanks, Christy
Hi Christy,
Layer Slider don’t allow us to give customers our license number, so on each premium plugin such as Visual Composer, Revolution Slider and Layer Slider update we release a new update to our theme with the latest version of Layer Slider included, and customers don’t need to worry about that,
You never need to buy any premium plugins that comes with our theme
Update 1.4 of Kalium will be released next week with the latest version of all plugins.
Kind Regards,

Hi there,
Have you checked if the PHP limits are the same or higher as the required ones by the theme:

I’m REPEATING my two questions as you seemed to ignore them on your last pass through the Q&A…
Hi
1. Have you managed to update the Social Media options to allow them to open in a new tab in the browser rather than the main site window?
2. Also I would like to know where the files for this demonstration portfolio are in the theme? I have bought the theme and would like to use this Portfolio example but cannot see it in the files I have unzipped??
http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/adestra/Many Thanks Steve
Hi Steve
Sorry if we have missed any of your support tickets. We do not make selection on who to reply, it is our dashboard that displays the comments queue and we reply one by one.
1. For this here is a quickfix: Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/1bmQV and replace it in wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/ , so it will make all links target to new window
2. If you want to use this portfolio type you must set these settings in portfolio item edit page: http://drops.laborator.co/16MhI
If you want to get all the item types as shown in demonstration page you should import demo content data, if you don’t know how to do that here is a video tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrTqK5Cc-ksI hope this will help you.
Hello
Thanks for the reply BUT…
For item 1 you have given me a link to a screenshot NOT to a file I can download and install…
I will look into item 2 and thanks for the pointer 
Steve
Hi Steve
Sorry as I have misplaced the link, so here is the file you need to replace:

Hi there.
I have a question regarding reveal effect of portfolio items. With Fade one by one effect, how can I make increase the delay? I want portfolio items fadein one by one with 1second delay.
Cheers, Sahar
Hello
I have two questions.
1. I am using the carousel portfolio type for this page http://ashrigby.com/portfolio/personal-photography/ but I dont want the images to scale above 600px high (the height I have exported all of the images at) but I do want to leave them to scaling down from here to keep the site responsive.
2. I noticed when using the carousel portfolio type there is the option to add a custom link URL for an image. Is this possible to do on the side portfolio style as I need to add a link to the image on this page http://ashrigby.com/portfolio/flannerys-website/
Thanks! Ash
Hi Ash,
1. Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.slick-initialized .slick-slide {
max-height: 435px !important;
}
.slick-slide img {
width: auto;
max-height: 435px !important;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}
2. I’m afraid that this is not possible, you can add just Project Link there.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Thanks Yill
One last questions I had a go at the css for about an hour but couldnt get it. How do I make the previous and next arrows for this gallery to be a constant black with no hover effect.
Cheers Ash
Sorry Yill but one last request
Could I please have the code for the Photography page http://ashrigby.com/portfolio/personal-photography/ to make it responsive by changing the max height at each break point. I have tried for a couple hours but cant seem to get it.
Thanks! Ash
Hi Laborator,
I love the theme – great job!!!
I have one question about the responsiveness of it. My logo is 360px wide. When I view the website on my iPhone 5 it runs off the screen and the menu is way off to the side.
My main image on the home page gets scaled down nicely but the logo doesn’t. Is this a bug or is there a way I can fix this please?
Many thanks,
Phil
No problem – http://breadandbutterdesignstudio.com
Hello,
In portfolio settings, one can select “Like & share design layout” – is there such option in blog settings? I haven’t found it and I’d prefer “Rounded links” (not the default).
Also, in share networks section of blog settings Pinterest is present twice, while there is no Print option like in portfolio settings.
Greetings, Ceslav
Hi Ylli,
I have a problem with Visual Composer carousel element: prev/next buttons don’t work.
When I dequeued “joinable.min.js” library, both buttons start working again. I’m not sure what this library does, but now I see some errors in browser console, so this is likely not a good solution. Since this library comes minified, I really have no intention to investigate the problem more – could you please check, if you can reproduce this problem?
I haven’t found VC carousel element anywhere on demo pages, so I assume you may not be aware it does not work with your theme. I’m sorry if I’m wrong 
Best regards, Ceslav
Hi Ylli,
I digged the problem a bit more and I believe I’ve found the source.
In kalium-custom.js, you have a click event handler for “In-page links from the menu” that – despite its name – is bind to all local anchors in document (ie. a[href*=#]). Since the prev/next buttons of VC carousel also happen to be rendered as local anchors, this handler is fired for them as well. The problem is that the handler ends with “return false”, so the click event is not propagated further and handler provided by VC carousel that implements prev/next action is never executed.
I’ll patch your code so it works on my site, but I recommend you to fix it too. If you want event handler to work only with menu items, bind it only to menu items. It’s as simple as that 
There are tons of plugins that render local anchors and binds events to them and such interference is hard to debug, so you can save yourself a lot of trouble in the future.
Best regards, Ceslav
Hi Ceslav
Many thanks for your suggestion. I have followed your instructions and now come in conclusion that this selector firstly verify if the #target-element already exists in the page, then bind the click event, otherwise do nothing.
Here is the improved code:
// In-page links from the menu
$( 'a[href*=#]' ).each( function( i, el ) {
var id = el.getAttribute( 'href' ).match( /#(.*)$/ );
if( id && id.length > 0 ) {
var $matchingTarget = $( id[0] );
if( $matchingTarget.length ) {
$( el ).on( 'click', function( ev ) {
ev.preventDefault();
var scrollDuration = 1;
if( $matchingTarget.offset().top - $( window ).scrollTop() < $( window ).height() ) {
scrollDuration = 1.5;
}
TweenMax.to( window, scrollDuration, { scrollTo: { y: $matchingTarget.offset().top - 35 }, ease:Power2.easeOut } );
return false;
} );
}
}
} );
Many thanks for your suggestion.
Hi,
Unfortunately, this won’t help in case of VC carousel, because both buttons have their hash anchor set to ID of their carousel element.
I would rather suggest to remove “return false;” from the click handler and instead just prevent default action of event, which is following the link in this case. Ie. have “ev.preventDefault();” somewhere in the handler. See also: http://api.jquery.com/event.preventdefault/
A very good reading on topic: http://fuelyourcoding.com/jquery-events-stop-misusing-return-false/

Purchased this before the shop was added and just wanted to come back and say now that its live….I love it, well done!!!
Hi Laborator,
I am still having some problems.
-One is the same I had with the menu but now it´s in the footer. The underline color it´s Kalium green instead of the one selected in theme options.
-Second one it´s in the blog. The hover effects only works perfect in the round posts one. In the first one and in the third blog type only works if it´s and standard post or link post.
Please have a look
Thanks
Hi again Laborator,
I am using version 1.3. But I don´t know if I can update it. I say this because in the beginning the demo content installer was failing and one of your colleagues had to install it for me manually. I gave him my credentials and he did it.
After he installed it I was speaking by email with some of your colleagues fixing some bugs because my theme was not perfectly installed.
When I thought everything was ok we stopped talking. Some days ago I found those and I wrotte you again by email for you to know the history but now anyone is answering me. I know that this email it´s not for support but I think it was and special case.
Anyway, that´s why I am writing you here. please have a look to my email chain to know about it.
You already have credentials to get into my admin panel. My web is under construction. www.stablografiko.com
1-About the first problem, I had the same one with the principal menu and one of your colleagues added some CSS to change it. Now the same problem it´s on the footer.
2-And the second one seems like something it´s not properly installed. Have a look.
3-And one another question: Layer slider it´s not working in the footer for me. Do you know why?
Thanks a lot for your time! Cheers!
Hi stablografiko,
I saw that you have managed to install our latest update now, so i think that you are good to go with the 3 questions 
1— I think that we have fixed this on 1.3.1 version, but if that hasn’t changed for you then please add the code below to Custom CSS
.wrapper a:after, footer.main-footer a:after {
background: #c0e0ce !important;
2— I think that this is the Blog question, Masonry blog works like that, you can check our demo too and it is the same link
3— You can use Layer Slider on the left side or the right side of the footer with shortcode.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi onahjung,
Thank you very much for your kind words, they keep us motivated 
Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.leave-reply-holder {
display: none !important;
}
.single-blog-holder .comments-holder {
display: none !important;
}
That will do the trick 
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 would like to integrate the blinking eye in the portfolio when I hover over it. I use Masonry ( Kalium Agency). The following code I tried didnt work out: .
portfolio-holder .product-box .photo .on-hover i { background: url(http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/eye.gif) no-repeat; width: 45px; height: 45px; -webkit-background-size: 45px; -moz-background-size: 45px; background-size: 45px; }
.portfolio-holder .product-box .photo .on-hover i:before { content:””; }
Could you please help me out?
Hi acuerdo15,

What an amazing looking theme! I did have some problems running the demo webpages on my old original iPad (I know.. I know!!) and on my old original Google phone (that first Samsung one). I’m a bit on the fence here.. usually if these old devices can cope with the demo material it means the code is clean and efficient but if they crash and glitch (dolphin browser on the Google Nexus phone doesn’t like your demo websites at all!) it makes me slightly worried.
For instance, a rival theme, the famous X theme which has demo websites with HUGE amounts of graphics and video content, has no issues loading on neither the original iPad nor the phone.
Are you planning on supporting older devices and older systems in general or is this a compromise you are not willing to make?
Hi bmanic,
On each update we are releasing new things to Kalium, and based on clients feedback we are improving our product on each update 
Kalium theme is developed with the latest technologies, and some old devices can’t support them.
P.S: When you live preview our demo site, www.kaliumtheme.com from themeforest don’t forget to remove toolbar by pressing X.
Kind Regards,

Any chance on adding pricing tables in version 1.4?
Hi Team
Almost there!
I’m not sure if I’m going mad here -I’ve tried looking on the comments board and navigating around WP for the solution without any success!
1. Within each blog post how do I make the image show in the grey box? http://objeststudio.com/2015/07/05/welcome-to-objest/
2. Within each blog how do I deactivate the blog image so it’s not clickable?
Thanks again:)
HI fire-blanket,
1. Please select a featured on that blog post image and it will appear there http://drops.laborator.co/1diRj
2. Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
body.single-post .thumb a {
pointer-events: none;
cursor: default;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hi Yilli
1. There is an image in the feature area you highlighted. Please see attached. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/min7c5dg2667etv/AADXhCNdaAylPAsHEJtSVENFa?dl=02. worked a treat:)
thanks
Hi fire-blanket,
Please go to Theme Options > Blog Settings and just tick this option as you see on screenshot below.

Legend! – thanks:)
Hey!
I finally fixed all hosting related problems and I am running the theme perfectly! Just wondering, if in the portfolio settings for my front page, it is possible to order the post (in my case pages) in whatever order I’d like? Because I am only given a few options like ID, author, and so on…
Also, I wanted to know if is there any layout in visual composer allowing me to construct a calendar style page?
Thanks for the theme and the support!
Hi there,
To order the pages/portfolio items you have to use a ordering plugin like Post Types Order

Hi guys, found a bug…
On a portfolio post, in the Project Link section, the ‘open in new window’ setting seems to affect the link of the portfolio item on the main portfolio page, not just the custom ‘project link’. I’ve found that even without a project link active, the ‘open in new window’ setting is ticked by default so the particular portfolio item opens in a new window from the main portfolio page.
Fix?
Hi WristyManchego
I guess this is not a bug, because if you have set this option:
http://drops.laborator.co/13X25Then the new window target will be applied in this case. If you set Item linking to Continue on Single Page then the “new window” option will not be applied.
Best regards
Thanks for the info guys. I’ll play around with that setting to get it right.
