Hi there,

I´m having problems with Auto-Type:

Im trying to set this in the Auto Type Settings – Content:

Mind and Beauty Active Cosmetics, con toda nuestra experiencia; pasión; innovación; creatividad; esfuerzo; elegancia; ternura; superación

I save the changes but the code that appears is the of your demo:

Hi there! This is Kalium Theme;Developed by Laborator;Do you like it?

Do you know what could be happening? In my home page I could change the Auto Type, but not in this page: http://mindandbeauty.teveoonline-desarrollo.com/productos/

Thanks!

Hi

I guess you are using an older version of Kalium, we have fixed this issue in v1.4.1 and works fine now. Please update Kalium theme to the latest version and see if this will work for you as well.

Here is the video illustration how it works to me:

Arlind

Hello,

Thanks for your quickly.

I´m usin the v1.41.1

The problem is that i want to put a black block (as in your demo) over the words “pasión; innovación; creatividad; esfuerzo; elegancia; ternura; superación”

When i write the code for insert the black block and refresh the page, the text that appears is “Hi there! This is Kalium Theme;Developed by Laborator;Do you like it?”.

I must be doing something wrong, but i dont know what… i´m trying also to change the quotes of the code, but nothing….

Hi

It is weird how this happens to you, I have tested on my local copy and worked just fine.

Can you please email me your WP credentials so I can test my self, also give me the content you are trying to show in AutoType element.

Hi,

Managed to get the theme functioning correctly now. I just have a quick question about the colour of the map on the contact page. Currently it is the themes default teal colour, how do I change the colour of the map to a custom colour.

Also the ‘underline on hover’ in the footer is also the teal colour, how can I change this?

Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack

If you want to apply map style or how you say color then please go to this site:

https://snazzymaps.com/

Choose the map style you want, click Copy:

http://drops.laborator.co/fY93

Then past that code to Map Style in the Map shortcode.

http://drops.laborator.co/7aPh

To change the teal color, go to Theme Options > Theme Styling and set Link Color to your preferred color:

http://drops.laborator.co/HrWE

I hope this will help.


Arlind

Hi,

Please can you send me a screenshot of how to open map settings, I can’t seem to locate it in the Visual Composer.

Also I have set a custom logo using the theme options however when the site loads, my logo loads first and then it transitions to the default white Kalium logo. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

Hello! I am using the “Columned” portfolio item layout and I’m trying to adjust the image placeholder so that vertical images scale to a reasonable height, and not the full width of the page. I tried using the following CSS without much success. Can you please help me out here? Thank you!

.single-portfolio-holder .image-placeholder { background: none !important; max-height: 500px !important; width: auto; }

Hi mikedesocio,

I’m afraid that this is not possible for the moment.

Kind Regards, Ylli

Okay, thanks for the prompt reply! I appreciate all the help.

Gld to hear that :)

Kind Regards, Ylli

Hello, There is a pb. with Safari (Mac & Pc) and the Agency Version of the Kalium theme, even on your demo http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/agency/ the home auto type and the portfolio doesn’t appear, it’s empty, waiting a moment and playing with the scroll bar some items of portfolio arrive… Note: it’s ok on Safari on Ipad and other browsers Thank you for help

Hi enricomart,

I just tested the agency demo with the Safari 8.0.7 on mac and i didn’t noticed any problem there.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

We have Safari 5.1.7 on Mac and PC

Hi enricomart,

It is really difficult to test this on the old version of Safari, because mac doesn’t allow us to downgrade Safari to a older version.

Kalium is developed with the latest technologies in mind, and i think that Safari 5.1.7 doesn’t support all of them.

Can you please try to install Safari 8.0.7, the problem should disappear :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Laborator team,

I use the comparison images feature and it works perfectly except on mobile. On mobile I see the arrows button over the image but I can’t slide it. I’ve tried on Safari and Chrome mobile (iPhone version).

Could you help on that?

Thanks.

Alban

Hi Alban,

This is a known bug, and we have written this on to-do list, we hope that it will be easy to fix this bug.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Alban,

We have found a fix for this issue :)

Please download this file and then unzip it.

You fill find there two .js files, copy those files and go to *kalium / assets / js and replace those two files there.

Please hard refresh your browser after you finish this procedure and check if it’s working.

If this fix works for you, we will include this fix on the next update too, so please notify us :)

I have noticed that there is always a default amount of space, approx 40px, between rows created with Visual Composer. Lets say I have a row with a colored bg followed by another row with a colored bg, you always see about 40px of the body bg color between them. I want them to snug right up against each other. I tried using negative margin and padding in Visual Composer, but that doesn’t seem to take negative values. How do work around this? Child theme CSS tweak? Thanks.  

Hi crizpcritter

This is the code that is causing that Custom CSS

.vc-container {
    margin-bottom: 40px !Important;
}
  • you can change that to margin-bottom: 0px and padding-bottom: 40px :)

and the code would look like this

.vc-container {
    margin-bottom: 0px !Important;
    padding-bottom: 40px !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yes, that’s it. I also have the problem in a few other places, but now that I know the reason I can tweak the css for them myself. Thanks very much for the quick reply and solution!

Glad to hear that crizpcritter :)

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 ) :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, I’m really pleased with my purchase. Just two questions: 1) I’m running Kalium (version 1.3, agency theme) and I can’t get my video posts to look like they are on the demo site. What settings should I have in order to get the fullscreen video post with comment sections below below? http://asc-formation.com/disruptive-innovation

2) If I update to Kalium v1.4, will my existing pages/media be affected?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Sorry for the late reply, I received some advice from Arlind and the video skin is working nicely now. Thanks for your help. I have one more small question (not related) ......how do you do the cool black and white map on the contact page? I can’t find an option for that in the settings. Is it some kind of CSS? Cheers

“It’s a shame you can only pick one reason for the rating. I have found the whole thing from the quality of the product to the quality of the documentation and demonstration sites to the support I have received to be truly excellent. thank you for such great work.”

  Kalium received a 5 star rating from StephenSilk for Customer Support.

Are you using Kalium too? Don’t forget to rate it!.

Hey i just installed the Kalium theme on pierrelueben.com and

1.receive this message if i’m trying to access the website without login in wordpress admin panel “We are currently working on the back-end,
our team is working hard and we’ll be back within the time”

2. How can use the extra theme like the demo page for architecture as example

thanks,

Hi pierre1986,

1. Just go to WP Dashboard > Laborator > Theme Options > Coming Soon Mode > click Disable and then Save all changes :)

2. You must import demo content of the Architecture demo, here are our youtube playlist where you can see the Getting Started videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnmVEXzJn2lYigqfsWbXnKAlrqthpsOmX

When can I use “PHOTOGRAPHY” demo? I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing it…

Hi kalos250,

As you can see from updates, we are trying to add so many new features that users request to Kalium, and we admit that we have delayed Photography demo, we will try to finish some changes to Kalium that will allow Photography demo to be finished as nice as we imagine it.

We don’t have an exact ETA for that but we will hope that it will be released on August.

Thank you for your interest :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello! After looking at countless portfolio themes, I’m really excited to have found Kalium and almost ready to buy—the only thing that’s keeping me is that in all the demo pages I saw, the scrollbars were way too thin (4px!?) and impossible to click on. Is this something that I can easily override in CSS? *

Hi Rieko

Glad to hear that you fixed it on your own and thank you for sharing it in our support forum, it may help someone else.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

In an Portfolio Item, Is there a way to disable “Images Reveal Effect” animation on the Portfolio Gallery? I’m using the Freelancer template, if that helps. Right now, the only options are “Fade” and “Slide and Fade”.

I do like the reveal animation but I noticed sometimes it gets stuck in the pre-reveal state (a solid dark grey placeholder) on tablets.

Best, Rieko

Hi Reiko,

Right now there isn’t any option like that but we will look forward to put it in the upcoming versions as many people are requesting this feature.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello to lavorator team Some questions to solve problems on my project with the theme Kalium . Question 1: My home consists of a slider and menu bug the passage of the third image with the kalium logo appears with a movement of the burger menu. Moreover I love the burger and titles are just white on this page too. Question 2: Can do you copy an item portefolio to change the content ? Question 3: How is it to move the contents of portefolio menu (for example : if we want the third to the second position) ? Question 4 : In the footer of the pages, I would like to remove : ” Kalium . We are a multi functional agency , we love good things and great design. Say hello to us hello@kalium.com ” and replace it with another text ?

Thank you for answering my questions and congratulations for your achievements !

vanessa

Hi vanessa

1. I am not able to clearly understand this issue, can you please describe more precisely and provide the URL of the homepage so I can figure out what is wrong here.

2. Do you mean can you modify the item? Sure this is possible, just click Edit Portfolio Item and you will be redirected to the edit page.

3. If you want to set a menu link from portfolio, go to Appearance > Menus like shown here:

http://drops.laborator.co/1jdlv Then click Save Menu, it should work.

4. For this go Appearance > Widget and edit Footer Widgets, like shown here:

http://drops.laborator.co/gjsj Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope my answers will help you.


Arlind

Hi Laborator,

Great theme!

I’m really interested in buying your theme, but I’ve just few questions:

1) would it be possible (of course with some html and css customization) to change the font both in “miminal” menu as well as categories menu, using an iconic font created by me?

2) In the About Page, is it possible to have displayed bellow my portfolio grid with all its thumbnails?

Thank you very much, looking forward for your replies!

Joana

Hi

Glad to hear you back, hope you had a great time.

I have made a small tweak in this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/QeYX+

So download it and replace in this directory:

/wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

All portfolio category links will have a class portfolio-category-{categoryName}

You can access these classes easier for example:

.product-filter ul li a {
    text-align: center;
    position: relative;
    top: 20px;
}

.product-filter ul li a:before {
    font-family: "bolabolha" !important;
    display: block;
    font-size: 40px;
    color: #fff;
    width: 90px;
    height: 90px;
    line-height: 90px;
    text-align: center;
    background: #ddd;
    content: '';
    border-radius: 50%;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

/* Portfolio category: digital-art */
.product-filter ul li a.portfolio-category-digital-art:before {
    background-color: #00ffff;
    content: 'font-code'; /* here add the font code */
}

This should be added as custom css, note that you need to enqueue the font in your site, if you didn’t already here is the code:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp_enqueue_icon_font' );

function wp_enqueue_icon_font() {
   wp_enqueue_script( 'my-icon-font', 'http://url-to-the-font-path/font.css' );
}

I hope this will help you.


Arlind

Hi Arlind!!!!

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! It’s working!!!

I had to change some things, concerning position and display of some divs, but that was it!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I will now focus on the content, perhaps the most important, no?! :)

Thank you so much, I hope not to have to borrow you much more! I’m done customizing! Now is just putting everything online! I will let you know when it’s all done and I will send you the final result!

Thank you very much! GREAT THEME, WONDERFUL SUPPORT! I cannot ask for anything more! Thank you Arlind, and thank you Laborator!

Hi sakamijodai,

Glad to hear that the problem is solved now, and thank you very much for your kind words :)

Clients like you make us push the boundaries and continue to create amazing things!

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 ) :)

Dear Laborator,

I’m using the “Columned” Style for my Portfolio Item Style.

I removed the “Show Featured Image”, so the first section of the page only displays text.

My first Portfolio Gallery Item is a Vimeo link. How can I make this first Portfoio gallery item appear on top of everything just like it did with the Featured Image???

Hi

If you want any item to appear the first post from the loop, you can use Post Types Order plugin to sort the portfolio items and align them as you want.

I hope I understood you properly and this will work for you.

Regards


Arlind

Well, I’m saying that I want a Video to display where the Featured Image appears: on top of everything! That’s it.

Hi epiforma

Actually, this is not possible, because Kalium theme does not support videos on “featured image” place. I am sorry about that.


Arlind

Hi Laborator

The theme is working well for me and I’m starting to get to know my way around it now. I have a small question that I’m sure is easy to fix…

I’m using the Sidebar Menu… Is there any way I can set it to open with the sub-menu items already expanded?

Thanks in advance and thanks for a great theme. Steve

Hi StephenSilk,

First of all we want to thank you for the great review that you have written :)

As about the problem, can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.sidebar-menu-wrapper .sidebar-menu-container .sidebar-main-menu div.menu>ul li ul, .sidebar-menu-wrapper .sidebar-menu-container .sidebar-main-menu ul.menu li ul {
    height: auto !important;
    overflow: visible !important;
}

Bonus:

To remove this problem with the white border on the left,

(view large version)

Go to Revolution Slider see which slider you’re using and click on Slider Settings, there scroll down and open the Custom JavaScript and paste this:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  jQuery(window).resize();
});

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

AWESOME thank you once again!

Glad to hear that Steve!

Have a nice day :)
—Ylli

Hello,

When you use a list of Portfolio items, there is the following information for each Item (inside the thumbnail when you mouseover it, in my case):

1) Portfolio Post Title 2) The categories of the Post

How can I switch the categories to a specific text quote for every portfolio item??

Thanks in advance

sorry I replied 3x the same thing, don’t know how to delete post.

Hi

Sorry but this is currently not available, but its a great suggestion. We will add this feature in the next release. I have added it to our todo list with high priority.


Arlind

Hello Dear creators of Kalium theme,

I am so glad that I have bought this perfect template. During my setup of website, I realised that you released new version of the template. I am using different folder then default for theme location on server. So when I tried to update theme automatically, I found duplicate theme in wordpress. Another option was to copy all new files of new theme and paste it direct to my folder of theme, but it didn’t work.

Is there any another option how can I update theme if is in different folder then default please?

Thank you for you kind reply, George

Hi George

You are welcome any time, sorry for any delay because we were busy with other support requests as well.

I have tried to fix the Before/After for about 2 hours and didn’t find a fix in mobile, I guess it is conflicting with some wordpress plugins we use in our theme. I think I should integrate another Before/After plugin for portfolio items (because the current plugin we use is out of date and not supported anymore), and will try my best to integrate it in the next update.

I hope in your understanding


Arlind

Hi Alrind,

as I sad, that fine… I know that you are doing your best.

Thank you for your reply, Best Regards, George

Hi George

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers
