Hello Team
Something strange happens and I think it’s got something to do with the theme’s latest version because everything worked fine before:
By choosing blog post format “gallery”, the images in the preview gallery appear blurry. Everything is okay if a single post is opened with the same images in full size, but on the archive page it isn’t.
I’ve checked media settings, also the resolution is more than enough – so this should not be a factor. Interesting: images I’ve uploaded two months ago and use now for a new blog post are sharp even in the gallery preview.
Does anybody else observe this?
Cheers, Andi

Great theme – only have one issue:
Scrolling does not work on iPhones. Works fine on Android. How can I fix this?
I assume it is something to do with overflow?
Hi Nautique,
Thank you for your kind word 
Can you please write us your site URL here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Do you have a email address I can send to?
Hi Nautique, i would suggest you ti write us your site URL here on comments, because we use email only for sensitive informations such as users FTP or WP credentials.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hi Ylli, we cannot provide that in the comments. Do you have a different way to contact?
I have been flipping through Hamburger color issues for awhile and cant seem to figure out whats happening. i pasted many dif kinds of custom css codes from other comments. the regular theme color palette isnt working it remains black. when you scroll down a little and scroll back up, it goes to green? i would like it to be a bright color that works well on a light and dark background. but not sure how to get it to stay all time.
this is ultimately what i used
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-main ul.menu > li > a { color: #b68852 !important; }
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-main ul.menu > li > a:after { background-color: #b68852 !important; }
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-main .menu-bar .ham:before, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-main .menu-bar .ham:after { background-color: #b68852 !important; }
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-main .menu-bar .ham { background-color: #b68852; }
Grant-gunderson.com is the site.
thanks in advance! Grant
Hi Grant,
Can you try this now, it should make it work:
.menu-bar .ham {
background: red !important;
}
.menu-bar .ham:after, .menu-bar .ham:before {
background: red !important;
}

Hi there! I just purchased this theme and I’m incredibly pleased. It is so clean, versatile, and presents my work just as I’ve always dreamed of! After over a year of searching, Kalium is definitely my favorite theme to date. I just have a couple of questions and suggestions for upcoming updates. Thank you in advance for the response!
Question #1: How do I change the text styling for the header navigation? I’d like to change the font size and kerning (letter spacing) but I’m not quite sure what to do. I am currently using the “Standard Menu” option.
Question #2: Is it possible to change the styling of the “Submit Message” button in the contact form? There’s many style choices for individual buttons in Visual Composer but I don’t see any options for this button in the contact form settings. The current button is solid with a slight opacity change on hover. The button type I would like is the “Outlined with Hover Color” like what is found in Visual Composer.
Suggestion #1: Header with logo in center alignment. For those who like the “Standard Menu” navigation, you could put the navigation links under the logo or on either side (Example: Link, Link, LOGO, Link, Link). It’s so hard to find a good theme with this header option and I think it would look great with Kalium (and will create even more versatility).
Suggestion #2: Logo opacity change on hover (similar to the social networking buttons). I think this little detail makes a big difference and would be cohesive with the rest of the hover effects in the theme.
Suggestion #3: “Related Projects” Visual Composer Widget. It would be neat to include this in individual portfolio posts to promote related work.
Question #3: How do you add a hover effect over image links? For instance, I would like a slight opacity fade when hovering over an image link within the body of a post.
Hi
Firstly, thank you so much for these words, I am so glad to hear them.
Also sorry for late response as we were releasing new update and I wasn’t able to provide support for few days. Now the Kalium release v1.4.1 is out and I hope it will help to fix other issues.
Here are my answers to your questions:
1. To apply typography transformations you need to add custom CSS in the admin, so here is the CSS to select menu elements and apply your settings like size, font spacing and so on:
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu li a {
font-size: 16px;
letter-spacing: 0px;
}
2. Sure for this is possible to apply your custom styling, but requires custom CSS because we couldn’t put admin options for each part of elements, so to style the Contact form submit message button simply refer to this css (I guess you are familiar with CSS):
.message-form .send {
/* apply here your own styling for the contact form button */
}
3. To add hover for all images here is the custom css, it will also add smooth transition hover effect:
img {
transition: all 350ms;
-webkit-transition: all 350ms;
-moz-transition: all 350ms;
-o-transition: all 350ms;
}
img:hover {
opacity: 0.7; /* this will lower the opacity of images to 70% */
-webkit-opacity: 0.7;
-moz-opacity: 0.7;
}
I hope these will work fine for you.
For your suggestions:
1. Great suggestion! We have added it to our todo list
2. This would be a risky step, however I will talk with the designer about this and see what he thinks
3. Amazing idea! Added to todo list.
Best regards

Hello,
I would like to know, How many home page are in this theme ?
Because I really like this theme, but I prefer the homepage n°4 of Aurum ( transparent header and especially the video ) Can we put a video for the homepage as the Aurum theme ? Kalium has transparent header also ?
Kind regards.
Hi Martymcfly2015,
Just to make sure, are you talking about Aurum or Kalium theme?
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hello,
I am talking about the Kalium theme.
Kind regards.
Hi there,
Of course you can, the Main Demo of Kalium has also a transparent header.

Hello,
I would like to do two things that I don’t think can be done through theme options:
1. I’d like reduce the padding in the header. With a sticky header, the height of this header is too large and gets in the way. I’d like it to be thinner. http://mikedesocio.apps-1and1.com/
2. When you scroll through a carousel, the vertical images scale to be way too large. Is there a way to have vertical images have the same height as horizontal images, so that the gallery is one smooth height the whole way through? http://mikedesocio.apps-1and1.com/portfolio/freddiegray-in-boston
Thanks for your help!
Hi mikedesocio,
1. Have you disabled sticky header?
2. Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.single-portfolio-holder.portfolio-type-3 .gallery-slider .gallery-item {
max-height: 435px !important;
}
.image-placeholder img {
width: auto;
max-height: 435px !important;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
1. Yes, I did disable it.
2. That worked for resizing the images, but now I have a weird color background on all of them. How do I remove that?
Also, is there a way to change header styles per page? My header is a white logo and white menu stack on the home page, which looks good over a photo. But then on portfolio pages it doesn’t show up well on a light gray background.
Thanks for the help!
Hi there,
You can change the header styles through the page Custom CSS, you can do that manually for each page as we don’t have a color picker for that.
Kind Regards,
Art
Thanks for the help. Can you please tell me how to get rid of the color background that now shows up in the carousel?
http://mikedesocio.apps-1and1.com/portfolio/freddiegray-in-bostonHi there,
You can do that by pasting this in the Custom CSS:
.image-placeholder {
display: none !important;
}
Kind Regards,

Hello,
What video format is supported for the video background? (youtube, vimeo, self-hosted etc)
Can sound be toggled on/off by user?
Can a video gallery/portfolio be generated?
Thanks,
Hi monkiejunkie,
1. We use Revolution Slider and Layer Slider, both support mentioned services.
2. They are supported.
3. I think that i don’t understand this question, can you please be more specific?
Kind Regards,

Hi there!
I have a problem with Products Carousel>
All my images have the same dimensiones: 800×800px, but in the carousel, the images are distorted.
You can see my carousel here:
http://mindandbeauty.teveoonline-desarrollo.com/ (just before “clients”)Would be possible to set this images in 800×800px?
Thanks!
Hi Teveoonline,
Can you try adding two or three row products on the carousel? They will look better then.
Kind Regards,

Right now I have to scroll 3 times and then the logo goes into small … but I want this during the first scroll … where Could I change the time or the point where the logo get small?
Here is the URL: http://dreamstyle.photos/
And another question … this, maybe if ist possible (my optional question). I make the full Screen Portfolio items at the vampire item. could I tun just the logo off there? but only at the Portfolio look (Fullscreen)?
Still someone here?

Hi Arlind
I have a suggestion to submit to you, that I find essential for the photography template you will be releasing soon, for the reason that very used to an online portfolio of a photographers because it’s very ergonomic and flattering for playing back images! So, is’t possible to make a gallery with horizontal scroll pictures (images)? e.g. as in the links : http://goo.gl/jPYexq or http://goo.gl/HLAtlf . Something else like the full screen button in this other example : http://goo.gl/jD0hCL .
It’s the only things I miss moreover in this Great Awesome theme!!
Love u the Team
Thank you a lot,
—Claire.
Hi Claire,
Thanks for your suggestion, this is kinda similar with the gallery you sent us, we will look forward for new things to implement.
Kind Regards,
Art
Hi Art,
at first thank you for your answer!
Sorry, your solution doesn't work with a mix (in the same presentation) portrait and landscape format pictures.Any other solution? 
Kind regards.
Claire
Hi Claire,
We have noticed that and we will look further to implement it in a better way and why not a new feature for the theme.
Kind Regards,

Hi there. Can you tell me how to have the portfolio images show up first, with the title and information appearing beneath that, for portfolio item types “Columned” and “Carousel”?
Hi quickhatch,
Can you please demonstrate how you want them to bee please Have you seen that type of layout on our demo? If yes just send us the URL of that page, and we will tell you the procedure
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hi Ylli,
It would be similar to how the featured image shows above the title and description, only for the entire gallery and not just the single featured image.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
Hi there,
To do this you can only use the Featured image to display the main photo, then will be the title and description and after it the images again.
Kind Regards,

I have this theme installed on a multisite WP install and I keep getting ‘error’ when trying to save changes in the theme options.
The child theme wont even let me set a logo. As soon as I press save changes, I get ‘error’.
I tried it on the main theme, and I can save the logo. But when I try to set some colour options in theme styling, it wont let me save.
Whats going wrong?
Hi there,
We first need to check this from the backend and see what the real problem is, sometimes you just need to set the assets folder permissions to 777 to make it work.

I have sent you login info.
I also tried setting themes/kallium/assets to 777 – it was at 755. Still doesnt work.

Hi, I am having a problem with the theme because I can´t see properly the Demo Content and also I changed the position of the menu and it does not work.
You can see the url of my site here: http://s583795213.mialojamiento.es/
Thank you in advance,

Hi Icíar,
Are you using any 3rd party plugins because I’m getting a popup error with a “Google maps loading problem”, maybe you should disable all of the installed plugins to see where the source of the issue is.
Kind Regards,
Art
Thank you for your answer. I am trying to disable the plugins but there are 4 of them that do not respond and still active (Advanced Custom Fields, Advanced Custom Fields: Flexible Content Field, Advanced Custom Fields: Gallery Field and Advanced Custom Fields: Repeater Field).
They told me that the “Google Maps loading problem” is because I am working on a temporary domain.
Best regards,
Icíar.
Hi Icíar,
Are you still having problems with the theme? I just checked your site and it seems that it’s working fine, anyway we will release the updated version today later or tomorrow so when you update it you will have a bulletproof version of the theme.
Kind Regards,
Art
Thank you very mucho Art, you´re right, now the theme works perfectly, the problem was that I installed another theme before that was incompatible with it. Best regards,
Icíar.
Hi when I check my version it tells me there is a new version of Kalium available. I am on 1.3.1 and it tells me 1.4 is now available. HOWEVER when I go to the Envato Toolkit and themes it doesn’t give me the update option?

Thank you very much

Hello, Everything is going good so far. The only question i had was with the home page. How can i control the max width of the portfolio grid? Is there a way to have 3 columns that go full width or close to it?
thanks! Grant
Hi Grant,
If you’re talking about this http://drops.laborator.co/1ccca we are glat to tell you that we are developing this option and it will be ready for the 1.5 update
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
oh what a beauty! do you have a date that the update will be available? thanks so much for the quick response
Hi there,
We’re working now on some issues and bug fixes we have with the theme, after the upcoming version we will check our to-do list and this in the list so we don’t have any ETA about it.
Kind Regards,
Art
Hi dunnco,
We don’t have an exact date for that, we will release version 1.4 this week, and that layout you’re asking will be available on the version 1.5.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hey Yill, i see a bunch of people on the thread asking about full width portfolio thumbnails. was that included in 1.5? or is it still in the future?
Hi dunnco,
We are sorry but we have more than 90+ to-do’s for our Kalium theme, we are selecting them based on how much request those options have.
This layout that you are asking will happen too, just need to be more patient. Hope for your understanding
Kind Regards,

Hi,
I have two small bugs: 1. In the title of a blog category there is the “ ” tag listed and not interpreted: http://stilbox-studios.com/category/design/ 2. The nivo-lightbox does not work: http://stilbox-studios.com/2015/07/07/webdesign-inspiration-die-10-besten-quellen-fuer-webdesigner/Instead of showing the lightbox the image gets opened directly.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!
Kind Regards, Marcel
Hi Marcel,
The first one is a known issue for us, we will release the new bulletproof update later today or tomorrow which will include a lot of bug fixes and a better demo content installation.
Regarding your second question, don’t know why it may happen – have you checked if you’re using a 3rd party plugin that may conflict with this theme.
Kind Regards,
Art
Hi Art,
thanks for your help. With the new update the first issue is now fixed.
In the meantime I found the solution for my second bug: We use the W3 Total Cache. I had to disable the “Prevent caching of objects after settings change” option for “Media & Other Files” in the Browser Cache section. Hope this helps if anyone else has the same issue.
Kind Regards, Marcel
Hi Marcel,
Very glad to hear that everything is fine now

Hi there,
I found out that the Apple Touch Favicons didn’t work for our theme. In the current theme version the following line only delivers the ID of the in the backend choosen icon. $apple_touch_icon = get_data(‘apple_touch_icon’);
To fix it I added the wp_get_attachment_url function: $apple_touch_icon = wp_get_attachment_url(get_data(‘apple_touch_icon’));
Could you please add this to the next version of your awesome theme so that it works for everyone?
Thanks!
Kind Regards, Marcel
Hi Marcel,
I just talked with the team and the developer said to me that he already fixed this in the latest version which we’re working on, so when the new update will be released this feature will be on it too.
Kind Regards,

Dear sir or madam,
I can’t seem to install your theme on my wordpress site through the usual way of importing it in wordpress. I’v then tried installing it manually through plesk, but the theme seems to become damaged as I get errors every time I click on the tab “laborator” to install demo content. The error that I get is an “internal error 500”.
Specs: Host – Godaddy (running plesk) Wordpress version – 4.2.2 Newest verision of Kalium
Kind regards Gustav
Hi Gustav,
It looks strange, have you checked your site’s PHP limits, if they’re okay then please wait until tomorrow or later today because we’re going to release a great new update with an easier installer and a lot of fixes.
Kind Regards,
Art
