Hello,

Thanks for a beautiful theme! Could you please let me know how I can change the slider on the home page to be boxed rather than full width, as on the Kalium Store demo? I installed the demo, but it is full width and I can’t see how to change it.

Many thanks, Jordan

Hi Jordan,

Just go to WP Dashboard > Revolution Slider > Edit slide

(view large version)

Then click Auto

(view large version)

Thanks so much!

Glad to hear that jbturner1 :)

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 again,

I am quite busy at the moment, so another thing: I created a new portfolio item as side portfolio. I wanted to make this item with sticky description and set that hook. With setting this hook my page started to look like:

http://www.martin-schulz.photography/kvoeld-ljos/

If I uncheck sticky description everything is displayed as I would like to have. I am not sure if I did something wrong or if this is something like a bug.

Thanks again, All the best! Martin

Hi Martin,

Just try adding more than an image and you’ll see that it will work again, the logic of the sticky description is so, you have more text than images.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

alright, than I understand how it works!

Thanks so much!

All the best! Martin

Glad to hear that Martin :)

Hi!

Just a thing, I turned on sticky header and on my mobile devices it works great. Just on my desktop PC I have the problem that the header is really uge and that there is a gap over the header where you can see the content through when scrolling. Is there any possibility to make this header smaller and close the gap on top?

I came up to this because I had a look at the link two posts in front of mine, of designbug1984, and I saw that his sticky header is really small and at the top of the page.

Thanks a lot again!

All the best! Martin

Hi Martin,

You can try adding this to the Custom CSS

.sticky-active {
padding: 0px !important;
}
.sticky-active .header-logo.logo-image img {
    height: 80px;
    width: auto;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

this is working like a charm… as everytime when you help me out!

Once again, I never ever had a theme which is so flexible and whith which all my wishes get true…

Thanks again!

All the best! Martin

Always nice to hear those words Martin :D We are glad that your problem is solved now :)

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Laborator, I want to change the color of the portfolio hover to a light grey and change the color of titels and categories inside to black. Can you send me a snippet of css to manage that? I also want to know if it’s possible to align the menubar of the standard menu on top of the logo and not centered with the logo. Would be great if you could also help me with this one. Thank you!

Hi mikimata,

1.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

2. That is not possible for the moment, we will try to add a new menu layout on the next updates

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Ylli, ok, here ist the site URL: http://www.raeumlichesdenken.com/wp/. Hope you can help me with the first question. Thank you!

Hi mikimata,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info h3 a {
    color: #000 !important;
}

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info p a {
    color: #000 !important;
}

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info p {
    color: #000 !important;
}

Hello.

I am trying to change the styling for the background colour of single portfolio items. I have followed the following comment: Hi supermartin,

To achieve that, just go to that portfolio that you want to edit and open Inspect Element (on Google Chrome), search for body class and find it’s unique ID of that page.

Example 1: http://d.pr/i/6HGl

Example 2: http://d.pr/i/1i3Cx

As you can see on Example 1, what we have done there is that we just added this CSS code:

body.postid-2115 .wrapper { background: rgb(234, 190, 190); } <—You just need to get their “postid-XXXX” and paste them to your WP Dashboard > Custom CSS with the color that you prefer as in the example above :)

Kind Regards, —Ylli

This has worked but I would like to change the header back to purple. Can you please help?

Hi designbug1984,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.header-spacer {
    background-color: #4f145e !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Perfect thank you!

Is there a code to change the colour of the text in the portfolio items? And the checklists area?

Hi designbug1984,

For example your single portfolio ID is 3630, the code to edit that page will be like this:

body.postid-3630 .single-portfolio-holder .details .project-description p {
    color: green !Important;
}

body.postid-3630 .single-portfolio-holder .details .services h3 {
    color: green !important;
}

body.postid-3630 .single-portfolio-holder .details .services ul li {
    color: green !Important;
}

body.postid-3630 .single-portfolio-holder .title h1 {
    color: green !important;
}

Hi, i try to see the demo, but when i click preview google chrome give me this error ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT can you help me? Thanks

Hi aledreams,

The issue has been fixed, it was temporary theme maintenance.

Hello, thanks so much- great theme! I have a question about the slider videos. The videos I’m using in the slider aren’t loading very well. They are slow and glitchy (in multiple browsers), but then if I reload the page, they work great. They are mp4s, only around 2mb, and I’m using the HTML5 upload option. What’s going wrong?

site: www.welcometothemsa.com

Thanks for your help, Emma

Hi Emma,

I tried your site with Google Chrome, FIrefox, and Safari, the video is appearing good and working smooth on the first load.

P.S: WOW i like your site, it’s unique, can we use it for our showcase? If yes just click this link Showcase

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks Ylli, yes absolutely you can showcase it. It’s for a project that is still in research phase, so there will be a lot more content up in the next few months.

Hi EDConley,

Thanks, we’ll see what you will achieve on the end :)

Kind Regards,

Hi there, When I change the Top Menu color palette to light in the header settings, the background of the Top Menu turns white but the texts stays white as well, so you can’t see either the hamburger icon or the navigation links. Please help? Send CSS! thanks.

Also on a related note – the rollover for my portfolio thumbnails on my main portfolio page, when you hover over the category, it becomes transparent. How do I prevent that from happening? http://saralegg.com/

HI Saralegg,

1. I don’t see this problem anymore, have you solved this problem? If no, then please choose that option and leave as it is until we give you the exact code to fix that :)

2. To remove transparency you can do this from the Theme Options > Portfolio Settings > and choose “No transparency” from that portfolio layout type you have choosen.

or you can do this by adding the code below to Custom CSS

.portfolio-holder .thumb:hover .hover-state {
    filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important;
    -webkit-opacity: 1 !Important;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

Kind Regards,

Hello,

i just bought this theme and i am really happy with it.

The dropbox – link for the PSD – Files doesn’t work. Can you send me a valid link to sandro@cheame.ch?

The second question is about typography. With custom CSS i defined body and header 1 – 6, but there are still fonts used from the theme. For example in the menu, the portfolio filters and in the footer. In the footer, the links also don’t use the colours i defined. Can you take a look and give me some advice how to fix that? Check my footer at www.cheame.ch. My custom CSS for typography you can see in the screenshot below;

http://cubeupload.com/im/KYID9x.png

Thank you very much!

Regards, Sandro

Hi Sandro,

1. Done :)

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

.wrapper a {
    font-family: "proxima-nova",sans-serif !important;
}

.main-footer .footer-links .right-side .social-networks {
    font-family: "proxima-nova",sans-serif !important;
}

.main-footer .footer-links .right-side .social-networks li a span {
    color: red !Important;
}

.wrapper a:after, footer.main-footer a:after {
    color: red !Important;
}

Hi Laborator Team, By default the portfolio items are listed from the oldest one on top to the newest one at the bottom. Any idea how to reverse this order (newest one on top) or even better yet how to assign a specific order ?

Thanks in advance Best Regards

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

You can use this plugin Post Types Order it is perfect for the purpose that you are asking :)

Hello! I am using the current version of the theme 1.5 and for some reason my portfolio has stopped working? Is anyone else having this problem? I have updated all plugins and can not tell why it decided to stop working this morning!! Help!

what i don’t understand, is why it pulls one item when you go to the portfolio section, but nothing on the front page portfolio section? there should be around 16-17 entries. if you click on the item, it allows you to navigate to previous and next entries, but for some reason they are not all displaying in the main section.

I think I just figured out the problem….I remembered that I activated Jetpack yesterday to see what it could do. I just deactivated it, and everything is working fine! Weird, but somehow Jetpack is breaking this theme.

Hi Amy_42,

Hmmm we will try to check this, and if there is an easy fix, we will fix this problem.

Thanks for reporting it :)

Hello! I’m back again with another question. I’m making my first blog post and for some reason the container for post content is wider than the viewport, which causes content to get cut off and forces you to scroll horizontally to see it. How can I get the post content to fit the screen width?

http://mikedesocio.com/photographing-philly-every-day

Thank you!

Thanks for your quick reply! I updated the theme and plugins, but the issue persists.

http://mikedesocio.com/photographing-philly-every-day

Hello! Have you had the chance to look at this issue?

Hi mikedesocio,

Can you please disable all the third-party plugins one by one and see if that fixes your problem?

This is the first time that i see this *bug, if disabling third party plugins doesn’t fix your problem, can you please send me your WP credentials on this temporary email support@laborator.co (until Arlind and Art are back from their vocations) and i will try to check that for you.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello!

I have just another quite difficult question, may be you can help me out:

I want to change the URL’s output of the site. If I open a portfolio item the URL is like…www.martin-schulz.photography/portfolio/xyz/

What I would like to achieve is that the URL is without the word “portfolio”. Like: ...www.martin-schulz.photography/xyz/

I searched a lot in the internet and found that this link is generated in some of the portfolio files, very often by those belonging to the theme.

So may be you know and can tell me where I will have to make my changes, not sure if you can help me out Ylli, otherwise I will wait since Arlind and Art are back…

Thanks a lot again,

All the best! Martin

Hi Martin,

Another user has asked this, but it’s not possible.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Ylli,

thank you so much for your answer! I managed it by myself, as you can see here:

http://www.martin-schulz.photography/blog/

The item shown is a portfolio item, so normally you would have the URL with the word portfolio in it. I managed this with a little pluigin which I created with this code:

https://github.com/devinsays/no-slug-portfolio-post-types/blob/master/portfolio-post-type.php

For anybody interested in this:

Just go via ftp into your wp installation into the folder plugins. Create a new folder, call it what ever you want. Take the code from the link above, use an editor to paste it into and save it as “your-plugin-name.php” your-plugin-name should be the name you gave the folder in your plugin folder. Copy this file into this newly created folder on your server. Activate this new plugin in your wordpress installation like you do with every other plugin. Log into your admin area, navigate to the permalinks Settings. Change the settings to whatever you want, save. Then again change the settings to what you had before. On this way you update your .htaccess. If you view your site you will notice that the portfolio slug isn’t anymore in your URL’s.

I choosed this plugin way (you could also copy this code into your functions.php) because you won’t loose this code if you update your wordpress site. Putting it into the functions.php you would loose it with every update…

May be I can help somebody out with this to give a litte bit back.

Again, it is amazing which possibiliteis you have with this awesome theme…

All the best! Martin

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for this, i’m sure that it will help others who are asking for the same solution :)

Hi

Hi thebarefoot1,

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

Hi :) How do i change the space between the brand logo and the tying text on the header on the home page? I would like to make the space a bit smaller, not as high.

Also i noticed if i click on a project on the home page and it is part of a certain categorie say ‘photography’ when I’m finished looking at that project and view the next project I will only see projects from the same categorie. Could I change it so i see all projects listed on the home page? cheers J

Hi JL-B,

Can you please write us your site URL where you have added description here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution :)

Kind Regards,

I double checked the copy and paste info… I missed the ’.’ before ‘single’. It all works fine now, thank you :)

Glad to hear that :)

If you like Kalium, we would be glad if you give us a nice rating :)

Hello! I realize this is an exceedingly dumb question, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to create the Blog page on my site. I see the Theme Options for configuring the blog, but when I go to create a new page I can’t figure out how to make it my Blog page. How do I do this?

Thanks for your help!

Hi mikedesocio,

Sorry to hear that, i must say that the rating is one of our key indicators that push us to create great things, and improve that theme.

You can see how often we update Kalium theme with a lot of improvements and new options.

We would love to see improvement on your rating someday, but if you think that 4 stars are correct decision then we will respect that.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi mikedesocio,

When any client rate us with low stars we think that it will not contribute so much on our product improvement.

We kindly ask you if you can increase your rating on our theme?

If not, at least tell us what we need to improve to make our product more sophisticated to meet your needs.

Thank you very much and hope that you will reply us soon :)

Kind Regards,
Ylli from Laborator

Hi mikedesocio,

Have you read our message please?

Cheers!
—Ylli

Hi, I tried to do my research about the option that am looking for in your comments, and i found your below answer:

Hi there, If you’re talking about this type of menu: http://drops.laborator.co/1aZtj

To make it always visible then yes we can do something about it.

Kind Regards, Art

Is that menu option feature implemented? I am looking to have menu expanded like your screenshot above. It takes few seconds to figure out where the menu is, and many people dont even figure that out. Please let me know how to enable this option. thanks!

thambi

Hi, I followed your steps. Still menu is collapsed. I am unsure why. Please refer to my site ihariharan.com. Plus, how would i be able to enable the menu that you have for your in-store demo? that seems to be the menu am looking forward to have. Please advise. thank you!

Hi, never mind to respond back. I got it resolved. I am going to use this theme for a custom ecommerce website which has complex variable products. Looking forward to get some support if incase i run into any issues. thank you!

Hi sthambi,

Glad to hear that your issue is now fixed :)

Hi again,

I am working around with the portfolio site and I would love to “abuse” the portfolio site as a gallery. So what I would like to have is that if I click on a image the picture will open in a lightbox and not the Portfolio detail page will open.

I know that I will have to do something inside the code, but I am not sure how to change the link to the portfolio detail page that it will open the lightbox.

I think I will have to do this inside the portfolio_loop_item_type_2.php file.

Would it be possible that you could tell me what I will have to put into a

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for your kind words again :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello Arlind,

I am sorry to reopen this but there are two things I would beg you to have a look at:

Basically it works awesome, but no matter what I put into the link field of a portfolio item, everytime the lightbox appears. Will it be possible to have it working like that only if I use a hashtag ”#” the lightbox will apear and if I use a real link with http… this link will work?

The second thing is about the Javascript you gave me. It also works great, but it leads to the fact that the lightbox will appear everytime when I use a portfolio item with the overlay shown by loading (reverse). No matter if I use a hashtag or a link in the link field or if I leave it blank.

It would be so great if you could solve this for me!

Thank you so much!

All the bets! Martin

Hi Martin

I am going to look for this, I have your FTP details and will fix that problem. Will reply you by email.

Best regards and sorry for waiting


Arlind

Hi.

I want to add a side slider in the portfolio items. Is there any way to do that? None of the portfolio item types fits in what I want to achieve.

Apart from that, great theme!

Regards.

Hi monzon8,

That is not supported by our theme.

Thank you very much for the kind words :)
