Hi. I am very happy with the theme. Though I figure a big issue with Yoast SEO plugin. The pages are not adjustable anymore in the backend (WP) after saving the meta data/ keyword etc once (at a few pages). Please help me asap.

Looks like a conflict between the theme and yoast seo plugin (maybe also woo commerce). Thanks in advance.

Hi

Firstly thanks for your kind words!

It might be an internal error but if you don’t see any message on screen it is difficult to find the bug caused in this case, so please enable WP debug and then screenshot the error you see and send the screenshot to me.

To enable WP DEBUG:

Can you please enable WP Debug Mode because I am not able to exactly know what kind of issue is this.

To turn on WP Debug Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open wp-config.php

2. Find WP_DEBUG constant (written as define('WP_DEBUG', false);)

3. Set value to true (define('WP_DEBUG', true);) and save file.

4. Go to the same page, refresh it and you will see a PHP warning or fatal error being display. Copy the error or better send me the screenshot so I will be able to understand what kind of issue is that and will give you proper fix to it.

Hi. I am having some alignment issues on one of the portfolio template pages. Please see here – http://hamblinimagery.co.uk/portfolio/experiential/. I used your back-to-basics template and removed the like button. This seems to have moved the share section too far over to the left. Is this in a different container to the copy and header? Could you have a look and advise? Thanks!

Hmmm, this seems strange if you haven’t added any Custom CSS to the theme, you can try adding this to the Custom CSS to fix it manually:

.single-portfolio-holder.portfolio-type-2 .social.social-links-plain {
padding-left: 15px !important;
}

After changing layout in theme options from “full background” to “default”, featured images won’t display on firefox(mac), but the second image on hover still is viewable. Any help with this?

Hi there,

There is a notification that appears if you want to change the style of portfolio items afterwards that warns you about this, you can re-edit every item and set the featured images again.

Hi Guys, Having a little trouble with the header in the mobile layout. I’ve got content under the logo: http://i.imgur.com/eeOyZOk.png How do I fix this?

Hi Yilli,

I’ve updated and these problems still persist:

With side portfolio set to ‘full background’ gallery type, the images are protruding above the top of the frame: http://i.imgur.com/WHpkQ3G.png

I have the portfolio set to ‘Thumbnails with visible titles’ however I’m getting a mix of portfolio types on the page with most not showing titles inside: http://i.imgur.com/6U17xhP.png

Actually this one is still a problem on the ABOUT ME page: Having a little trouble with the header in the mobile layout. I’ve got content under the logo: http://i.imgur.com/eeOyZOk.png How do I fix this?

Hi there,

1— This is not happening to me, here is a video to demonstrate that http://drops.laborator.co/14QMi

2— Hmm this is very strange, we have pushed a new update to Kalium (1.5) and it will be ready today.

The easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Toolkit. On this link How to update Themes and Plugins you can learn this easy step-by-step procedure :)

Can you please update Kalium to the version 1.5 when it’s out, and if your problem is still present, please write us an email with your WP credentials.

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.

3— When i go to your About me page 404 is appearing, can you please send me your exact link of that page.

Hey Guys Love the theme !

Are you guys able to do some masonry free layout with the portfolio like this in your next updates ? http://demo.themebeans.com/?theme=Designer

Hi ITO,

This can be easily achieved with the theme even though we have not published it in any of our demo pages.

Hi Guys, how do I reduce the gap from the header to the top of the page? in this page http://andreminoli.com/ I want the logo to go to the top edge of the page and the menu travel with it and stay centered with the logo

I’m using the absolute header option.

Thank you

Hi there,

You can add this to the Custom CSS if you want to do it manually because there is no other option you can achieve it:

.header-absolute .main-header {
padding-top: 0px !important;
}

Hello :) I am preparing Kalium on behalf of a family member who purchased the theme on their account. I am trying to decrease the size of the text for dropdown options on a single product page. Can you help or provide me with the CSS changes?

Hi soundasaurus, can you please post with the account of that family member that 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.

Hope for your understanding :)

It’s possible to use Portfolio Tags in the website? I cannot find this feature. If i add tags, i cannot see it in the frontend. Can you help me? I’m trying to add it with the child theme but i don’t know the ID of the single portfolio.

Hi Rovereta

The plugin to show Portfolio Items supports tags in the backend, but we haven’t added them in frontend, because the design structure of Kalium doesn’t includes tags for portfolio items. Sorry about that.


Arlind

Hello, I want to add the logo switch feature to have a white logo on pages with fullscreen slideshows (home page & single portfolio) and black on the rest. I have seen this in the theme demos. Can you tell me how this can be done? Also, I would like to change the color of the zoom buttons on the google map on contact page.

Thanks

Hi chitnismahesh,

For the first question, you need to send us your WP credentials,

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.

As for the second question, you can change theme colors from WP Dashboard > Laborator > Theme Options > Theme Styling > Custom Skin Builder > Yes and then generate your skin with preferred photos.

or just add the code below to Custom CSS

.cd-google-map .cd-zoom-in, .cd-google-map .cd-zoom-out {
      background-color: red !important;
}

*change red with the color that you prefer :)

Hello,

I just bought this theme and I want the portfolio to be set as the homepage (which I’ll be using as a blog because I like the items setup, unless there is a way to reproduct the items setup as blog articles). So I created a page, get the page with the portfolio pattern, and then set the page as the home page.

It works, but when I click on an item, it goes to url/portfolio/item and to a 404 error.

I also have the same problem when I pulish a blog article

Hi there,

You need to set this page as your homepage at Settings > Reading and then set the blog page manually.

Kind Regards,

Hello, I am a new buyer and have a couple questions:

1) I hope to do portfolio page more than 4 per column. Is it possible? 2) Sample: http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium

When the portfolio item title shows, the white background always fade in, and the title slide and fade in. Is it possible to turn off these special effects?

Thank you for the help, really need it!

Best, Jessica

Hi Jessica,

1— Just go to WP Dashboard > Laborator > Theme Options > Portfolio Settings > and go to the Portfolio Layout that you are using and select how much Columns you want from the “Columns count for the current view type”

2— 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

Hello Ylli, Thank you for the reply.

1—you meant this right? http://cubeupload.com/im/HGxoqO.png But how if I hope to have 6 columns?

2—I’m using local host, is it possible to fix it before I publish it? Or only when I publish and the you can see the code to figure it out?

Thank you for helping!

Jessica

Hi Jessica,

1— We doesn’t support 6 Items per row there because it will broke the layout, and it will not look nice and clean.

2— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.hover-state.hover-eff-fade-slide .info h3 {
    -webkit-transform: translate(0,0px) !important;
    -moz-transform: translate(0,0px) !important;
    -ms-transform: translate(0,0px) !important;
    -o-transform: translate(0,0px) !important;
    transform: translate(0,0px) !important;
}

.hover-state.hover-eff-fade-slide .info p {
    filter: alpha(opacity=1) !important;
    -webkit-opacity: 0;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

.hover-state {
    -webkit-transition: all 100ms ease-in-out !important;
    -moz-transition: all 100ms ease-in-out !important;
    -o-transition: all 100ms ease-in-out !important;
    transition: all 100ms ease-in-out !important;
}

Pre sale question. Hi, i am highly interested by you theme but i have this question. I saw on the demo the website “type portfolio & blog” separated from the demo “woocommerce”. Is that possible to mix both of them in tha same website? I mean to have pages like homepage, blog, contact, portfolio, and a section woocommerce in the same menu. thanks

Hi SiaCreations,

Yep, that is possible, we just made those demo sites to show what you can do with Kalium theme.

All of the demos are coming from one theme, so you can add your portfolio,blog and WooCoomerce shop on your site :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you very much :D

Glad to hear that :)

Cheers!

Hello!

I have a question about a modification, which goes a bit deeper

In the Version 1.3 I did a modification to display the excerpt of a wordpress portfolio item in the overlay on the home page. So in 1.3 my home site looked like here: http://www.martin-schulz.photography but not only the title of the blog article was shown, but also the exerpt.

I did this with a modification of the portfolio-loop-item-type-2.php.

<?php if( $post->post_excerpt ) { ?> <p><?php echo $post->post_excerpt; ?></p> <?php } ?>

After the update I tried again to do this modification, but it isn’t working anymore.

So my question is, did you change something with the overlay, so that the creation of the title which is shown there is done in another file which I will have to modify now?

I would be so thankfull if you could give me a hint about that!

Thanks so much again,

all the best! Martin

Hi Martin, Arlind will reply to your email soon :)

Hi Ylli,

take the time you need! I am absolutely glad that you help me out with someting like this!

May be the time to mention something because I read about someone telling bad about your service:

I have been using a lot different themes and the support was the most time absolutely ok. But in your case it is even much more. You help people with so many things you would not have to, like in my case. This is a absolutely customizing question and you help me solving it. Let me just say thanks for this awesome service which is not a matter of course… !

All the best! Martin

Hi Martin

Thanks for your kind words, we are glad that we have customers who value our efforts to help them. You are a great example to them too. Many users fail to understand how to work with our themes and blame about un-related issues.

I received your email and I will reply to you now.

Cheers

I´m using the portfolio item type “side portfolio” and would like to add a desription of each image underneath the image. Now the descripition is only shown on hover and inside the image. Is it possible to change this so that it´s shown all the time and underneath the image? Thanks, Karo. http://soniagansterer.at/html/wordpresstest/?portfolio=mehr-nicht-als-dies

Hi Karo,

That is nor supported by Theme Options, but we can achieve that with the help of CSS :)

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .photo .caption {
    position: relative !important;
    background: #eee !important;
    padding: 12px 15px !important;
    margin: 0px !important;
    filter: alpha(opacity=1) !important;
    -webkit-opacity: 1 !important;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .photo .caption h3 {
    color: #898989 !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Wow, you are amazing! Works perfect, thanks again and a lot for your great support!

Hi Guys, I’m trying to add an Auto Type block in visual composer but this is how it is showing up: http://i.imgur.com/GPVilnR.png

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the quick support. I don’t have that option on the Portfolio page.

Ah, found it, changed it, no difference.

It looks that you have made a mistake while editing on Visual Composer (a breacket { } [ ] ) or something else, can you please try to edit that page from the beginning, or if that is not possible, 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.

Hi Guys. I have a couple of bugs on my site that I can’t figure out. Site is going live next Saturday. Please, if you help me with them, I’ll give you a glowing review here on Envato! The url is www.humanspaceergonomics.com.

As you can see, I have created a onepage version of Kalium, where the menu bar links scroll down to anchors in the main sections of the page. The links all have a permanent underline, as though they are all active. I’d like those links to not have any text decoration for the active state. They should just have the animated underline when you hover.

I also have 3 product pages you reach by clicking on the 3 product categories. Interestingly, the menu links behave as they should on those pages.

2nd bug: I’m using the sticky menu option, so that when the page first loads the menu bar is transparent, the theme default. When you scroll down, the menu bar scrolls up and turns orange. When I had the site in Coming Soon mode, the menu bar worked perfectly, as I just described. But when I put the site online, so I could give you access to it, the menu bar broke, and now when the page loads the bar is already starting to transform into the sticky mode: it is higher on the page and has already turned orange.

Again, on the product pages, the menu behavior is working as it should.

Thanks in advance for your help. Chris

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the delay, but we took a mini vocation from Firday to Sunday.

Anyway very glad to hear that the issue is now fixed :) You have managed to create nice one-page site, i didn’t knew that Kalium can do this :)

We would like to Showcase it on our item page, if you accept this of course :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks. Yeah, didn’t know I could do it, either. Built it with Visual Composer, referring to your original demo pages. Let me ask my client if he’d want it in your showcase. If he says yes, I’d be honored to have it included there. Thanks for asking.

Hi crizpcritter,

Glad to hear that :)

Hi,

How to disable smooth hover animation all over the theme? Underline, dropdowns, second image on hover in product page and product appearance. I want the transition from non-hover to hover to be instant.

Thank you.

Hi Oanisin

Actually there is no such option for all these to turn off however you can achieve this separately by applying custom code:

1. To disable second image on hover go to Theme Options > Shop Settings and disable the second image: http://drops.laborator.co/SJ6V

2. To disable underlines, simply add the CSS path via Custom CSS:

.path-to-link-element:after,
.path-to-another-link-element:after {
display: none !important;
}

3. Dropdowns use the base functionality so there are no animations in there
