Hi,

I see that under Laborator – Theme Options – Typography we can choose a general Primary Font.

Is there a way in a text box to put an html tag (or specify something in custom css) that will take this exact font but make it slightly smaller or bigger for some part of the text ?

Thanks in advance Pietro

Hi Pietro,

Unfortunately there isn’t any place where you can put Custom HTML but you can do it by editing the theme files in Appearance > Editor and put extra CSS.

You can change the size of the font manually from the Custom CSS which can be seen directly from the WP Admin Area.

Hello, I added a blog-post-element via visual composer on my News-page (http://soniagansterer.at/html/wordpresstest/?page_id=4394) But I cand find how to customize the hover color of the blog-post-thumbnails. I added my custom-style in theme options, but it seems like it doesn´t work for this blog-post-element. Could you please help me out? Thanks, Karo.

Hi clefei,

To remove that icon, can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.wpb_wrapper .lab-blog-posts .blog-post-entry .blog-post-image a:hover .hover-display i {
    display: none !important;
}

and for the other question

.single-portfolio-holder .portfolio-navigation a:hover i {
    color: red !important;
}

*then change red to your preferred color :)

Hello, Will it be possible to change the portfolio-category-order in a new update? Would be really helpful! If I didn´t miss anything it´s automatically in alphabetical order at the moment? Thanks, Karo.

Hi clefei,

Hmmm this is very strange, can you please send us an email with your WP and (FTP credentials) and Arlind will check if he can do anything about it.

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.

OK, thanks. I´ll do this.

Glad to hear that :)

Hi, new bunch of questions :

1 – I just tried my website on an ipad, and i was really disaponted to see that in portrait mode it looks more like the iphone site than the 800×1080 site. Can i tweak that ? Because so many people use ipads and i don’t want to show them the mobile version.

2- In landscape mode on ipad, webside is like i want it to be except the border that sticks and bounce during the scroll. If it’s not easy to fix, can we desactivate it on tablet’like screen sizes ?

3- On small screens “like” button is bugged and display itself on a wrong spot (on grid)

Never Mind, by using the search field I found it :

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) { .portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info h3 {font-size: 15px !important;} .portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info p {font-size: 12px !important;} .portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white p a {font-size: 12px !important;} }

Looks better on phone with 50% reduced grid ;)

Hi guys, first of all thank you so much for making such a beautiful theme. I installed it and everything worked great, I have some questions, though.

Maybe it’s a stupid question but how can I get the portfolio page to be the main page? without linking it with /portfolio? right now the blog page appears on the place where I want the portfolio to be. But I don’t want a blog at all, just a portfolio. Basically exactly as shown in the examples “agency” and “freelancer”. but it seems that wordpress gives me no option to change that..?

I would be very grateful for help:)

Hi there,

You can do that by creating a page and name it Home, after that set the page template to Portfolio so it will be display the portfolio settings, after that go to the Settings > Reading and set your homepage to the page you created.

Kind Regards,
Art

thank you so much, now it works !!:)

Glad to hear that alessiasistori :)

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 ) :)

Hi, it’s possible to change the color of the new news mouseover with the animated eye? http://i.imgur.com/40pVw66.png

Hi Rovereta,

If you are asking bout the eye color, i’m afraid that this is not possible, because eye is a .gif image.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

no, i’m saying the background color. i cannot change it

Hi Rovereta,

That color can be changed by going to Laborator > Theme Options > Theme Styling > you will see Custom Skin Builder option, click YES and then change colors to you preferred colors :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, first I must say that I really like the theme! Very clean and easy to use.

I have a question about the ‘My account’ page I’m making. Next to my login form I would like a registration form where users can create an account. How can I do this?

When I go to the checkout page I see a ‘Billing Details’ form. Can I include that form into another page?

Thanks!

Hi pstultiens,

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are so glad that customers like Kalium :)

1— Just go to WP Dashboard > WooCoomerce > Settings > Accounts > Registration Options and tick “Enable registration on the “My Account” page” option :)

2— I don’t think that this is possible.

Kind Regards,

Hi Art, Ylli and Arlind

Maybe this is a bit of a special question you wouldn’t answer because it has to do with wordpress in common – but after hours of trial and error, reading tons of discussions of other wordpress users facing the same problem, cleaning my cache, etc., I have the impression that it could have something to do with the theme “Kalium” itself.

Long story short: I cannot password protect my blog. I’ve tried everything. Set visibility to “protected”, set a password – it doesn’t work. The page won’t ask for a password. I even tried to change the time wordpress cleans a password cookie – nothing helps.

Do you have the impression that it could somehow be caused by your theme? If you think you can help, I’ll send my login data via email. But if this is out of your support range because it is too wordpress specific, I’ll accept that of course.

Cheers, Andi

Wow, that sounds nice! It seems that the two files you provide are in fact only one – the page.php

Looking forward to get the kalium.css as well :-)

Thank you, Andi

Hi Arlind – the second link leads to the same file as the first link…

Hi Andi

Sorry about the confusion, I am not sure why these files are messed, so here is the first file to replace in assets/css/ folder:

I am trying to get the portfolio page to show up but I can’t seem to understand what to do. In the documentation there weren’t instructions on how to create a page and then link it to all of the portfolio items I have uploaded. Do I need to make a new page called “portfolio” ? If so, is there a template that I click using the Visual Composer? Or do I just need to click some thing to make a portfolio page generate?

I looked through comments on the theme to see if there was a solution but I couldn’t find a one.

Thank you for your help. I really love this theme, it is saving me ages of coding.

-Chanel

Hi Chanel

Firstly thank you so much for your kind words and brilliant review!

To create a portfolio page that lists all portfolio items it is easy and there are 2 ways:

1. First and more easy: simply add www.yoursite.com/portfolio and all portfolio items will show

2. Second, more complex but offers you great control over what portfolio items you want to show:

2a. To create this type of page, go to Pages and click Add New 2b. Then choose Portfolio Page template 2c. Portfolio Options box will appear so you can configure how this portfolio page will show, number of columns, number of items, layout and more options, here is the screenshot how it looks:

I hope it will help you, but don’t worry even if you can’t we can assist you on it.

Cheers and have a great weekend

Hi there! Beautifully designed theme, definitely considering to purchase it. I was wondering, however, how much freedom would I have in terms of code customization? Is it built in a similar manner that squarespace is, allowing only css code injection, or would I have a full/almost full control over html and css files? Please, let me know.

Thank you so much, Alisa.

Hi Alisa,

Kalium has a lot of options on it’s theme options, but we don’t allow to customize PHP files, (you can go ahead if you know PHP, but we don’t recommend that to you). Please be aware as by doing customization if something happens like miss-editing files the responsibility is yours and we wont support you on finding the problem.

You can change it’s look and feel on the Custom CSS & Theme Options area :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, I have purchased and downloaded Kalium, which looks wonderful. Trying to install the theme onto my wordpress but its not installing, I am a total beginner at this :( I may be doing something silly but I am pretty sure I’ve done all I am supposed to.

Appearance, Themes, Add new, Upload Theme, Choose File, File chosen is the Kalium.zip file, Install Now, then a 2 min wait and I get a page saying… are you sure you want to do this ? Please try again.

I try again and the same thing happens.

Please could you tell me what I ned to do to install the theme.

Many Thanks, Ben

Hi Ben,

It looks that you have low PHP limits or/and a very old version of PHP,

To learn more about this we have made an article,

When you fix this issue, then you can follow the procedure of installing Kalium from our Documentationsite

Hello,

i have some problems with your theme because i only get errors with some links. Here is a example of one source for “maps.js”

ERROR (x) GET “http://example-site.dev/C:examplewwwroothwgv1_0wwwwp-contentthemeskaliuminclibvclab_google_map/maps.js?ver=4.2.3”

should be “http://example-site.dev/wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/vc/lab_google_map/maps.js?ver=4.2.3”

In using is a IIS Server System on a Windows Machine.

I hope you can help me.

greetings HDGras

Hi HDGras

I think this code is not executing well in your server that is why that error happens:

$lab_vc_element_path = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/';
$lab_vc_element_url = site_url(str_replace(ABSPATH, '', $lab_vc_element_path));

So for this to fix please download this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/1gcpk+

And replace it in this directory:

wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/vc/lab_google_map/

I hope this will work for you.


Arlind

Hello Arlind,

thanks for your help, this works for maps now but not for the other sources like Demo Content Part. The best way is to get a full fix for IIS Server. Maybe a Kalium Version only for the IIS Server User.

thanks.

Hi HDGras,

We will see what we can do about this, but we don’t promise you anything.

Hello! One more question – this is a bit odd, but on the standard menu the colour of text inverts when you hover over it. Is there a way to make it so that specifically for the ‘white/light’ menu option this does not happen (the text stays white).

Thanks!

Sorry, don’t worry about this one – I just had some old custom css I needed to get rid of.

Hi there! I have made a page with a full-page revolution slider. There is a white space/margin beneath the slider when you scroll down. Is there a way I can remove this, so the bottom of the slider is the bottom of the page?

Thanks, Alastair

Hello, updating the theme, following the tutorial video at the end, I get an error and can not display the site … What can I be doing wrong? ” Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_map_get_attributes() in /home/pompom/public_html/grafica/wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 21 “

It is urgent. Thank You!

Hi Doncka

Please update Visual Composer from Appearance > Install Plugins and everything will work fine. Sorry about this issue. Also make sure you have v1.4.1 of Kalium


Arlind

Hi!

First off, I love this theme, you have saved me a month worth of coding, and allowed me the flexibility to do what I need to do as a designer, without getting too caught up in myself.

Only issue I have run into so far is figuring out how to get my Typekit fonts to work. I pasted in the code after enabling the TypekitFonts in Theme Options, but I am not sure what I do next within the theme options to get my custom font to load. How do I proceed with this?

Hi danieloliverio,

Thank you for your kind words, we are very glad customers like Kalium so much :)

As for the question, can you please follow this procedure.

Firstly create the font in typekit site:

1 – http://d.pr/i/12zNo 2 – http://d.pr/i/192Ig 3 – http://d.pr/i/1f3hX

Just make sure to add body or another selector to “Selectors” box on typekit.

http://d.pr/i/1dDAF Then in Admin Panel do the following in theme options:

Here is how I have implemented the font in theme options (Typography tab): http://d.pr/i/xMa0

Just make sure to add body or another selector to “Selectors” box on typekit.

http://d.pr/i/1dDAF See the result: http://d.pr/i/1aiUI

We use Embed Code code, but in the next version we will support Typekit ID too.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

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 have couple problems I’m not able to solve.

1. When I try to save my own auto type text it doesn’t. The content displayed is the default one:

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

I wanted to apply another a text similar to another one you provide in your demos which is: Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle imagination;inspiration;talent;creativity

2. On mobile, on a portfolio page template, the Call to action “Launch website is sticked to the first picture of the project. How can I add a vertical spacing to let the image breath?

3. On mobile (like I already mentioned in a previous comment) the slider image comparison does not work. However it works on larger sizes.

More generally I find the mobile version much more slower than the web one.

Could you help on these points?

Thank you.

Alban

Hi Alban,

1— Hmm… Can you please install this plugin WP Super Cache it is the best to speed up your site, just make sure that you disable it when you are editing your site, because if it is enabled on that moment, you will not see the changes that you’ve made on your site until you refresh the page 3-4 times.

2— I saw on your other ticked that you have solved your problem, thanks for sharing that information with us :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Ok thank for your help. I use another plugin to speed up my site but I didn’t know this one. I gonna tr it.

Regards,

Alban

Hi Alban,

Glad to hear that :)
