Hi guys. Visual Composer was updated to v.4.7. Are you planning to update the theme accordingly? Thanks.

Hi alexschneider,

For sure, we will include Visual Composer 4.7 on the next version of Kalium :)

Hi @Laborator. 1. I am about to give up to find a theme where it is possible to adjust columns spacing (eg. the marked spaces on this picture https://gyazo.com/d3386468e993c00591e494c0fd55dd45 ) – I’m no good with CSS :(

In VC I see something called “vertical space” but I don’t know if that is for this purpose, or can you help me otherwise if I buy your theme?

2. I would also like to use the “gained” space to make the first column wider (for more text option). Is that possible, still with responsiveness?

3. As you see I also need a Soundcloud plugin. Is that contained in Kalium?

Thank you for your time in advance

Regards Chris, musician with need for creativity :)

Hi Chris,

Can you please post with the account you 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.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Ylli, thank you for replying. I haven’t bought the theme (yet)! I am looking for a theme that can provide what I ask for in the 3 questions, hence the post without “Purchased” :)

I don’t ask for the actual solutions, I just ask whether it is possible or not with your theme? I will happily buy it if “yes” :)

Kind regards Chris

Hi Chris,

1— That is because of Bootstrap used on the theme, Bootstrap uses grid layout and the default padding is 15px on each side of the box.

2— You must tell us where exactly on our theme you plan to do this, and we will tell you if that is possible or not.

3— We don’t include any Soundcloud plugin in Kalium but we have seen some users sites that use Soundcloud and i assume that the plugins works fine. Example http://wee.reviews/albums/kathryn-williams-hypoxia

Hi guys, a couple of issues I’d like you to take a look at…

The first is that I’ve set my portfolio to “Thumbnails with visible titles” but it isn’t displaying properly on the index page, it shows as “Thumbnails with titles inside”. When I view the portfolio page, it looks as it should.

Second problem is my logo is being obstructed on the portfolio page: http://i.imgur.com/qU8EVfK.png http://i.imgur.com/WLAV8kj.png http://www.danjwilliams.com.au/wpV2/

Hi there,

We tested your site in three different devices and three different browsers, in Mac and Windows and we did a video recording for it:

http://drops.laborator.co/YsFV

Also a good thing to mention is that the Safari browser is really bad in caching, you will need to hard delete the cache every time.

Love the dedication guys, thanks for the help but I may have confused you. Let me rephrase…

The index page shows as “Thumbnails with titles inside”. http://www.danjwilliams.com.au/wpV2/ The portfolio page shows as “Thumbnails with visible titles”. http://www.danjwilliams.com.au/wpV2/portfolio/

I have it set to “Thumbnails with visible titles”. How comes the index (besides the very last post if you let them all load) show something different?

The Home and Portfolio are independent from each other and to get the items in home show just like in the portfolio you have to edit the element via Visual Composer and set the titles inside again.

Anyway, can you re-send us your login credentials via e-mail so we can login and try to fix it.

Kind Regards,

Kind Regards,
Art

Basicly I want to show a caption of the image when I hover over the image, where to set them on, from the first link above

Ah, now I understand.

I am sorry but the caption is not available for this type of portfolio because of the carousel we couldn’t add the caption there.

Hello! I recently bought your theme and like it a lot so far! However, I am a novice and am running in to issues here ant there. I used another theme before and they did not have the “portfolio” function. How can I change my old “post/blog” posts to portfolio posts? Even if I add a portfolio post, it does not seem to show up on the homepage. Please let me know what I can do. Thank you

Hi juyoungkimgold1,

Always glad to hear those words from our clients :)

To change the Auto-text element from the header, just follow this procedure (i will attach images to understand it easily)

I assume that you are using Agency demo:

(view large version) Go to that page that you have the auto type element and click “Edit”

(view large version) Press the pencil icon.

(view large version) There you can edit the Auto Type element.

I think that it is easy procedure and it will not be problem for you :)

P.S: We saw that you have rated us with 4 stars with this reason “Customer support is very slowwwwwwwww….”

I have to mention that our support policy is described on the comments section

(view large version)

You have wrote us on weekend, that why you have not gotten any response until now, on Monday.

Hope that this explanation is understandable for you and you will increase your rating, have a nice day =)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi juyoungkimgold1,

Recently we saw that you have rated our theme Kalium with 4 stars, and your comment was “Customer support is very slowwwwwwwww….”.

Can you please tell us what problem do you have with our theme? As you see we are continuously updating Kalium with new features, updates, compatibility issues with other plugins and other things even that it has been time that we created this theme.

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.

Hope that you will reply us soon :)

Kind Regards,
Ylli from Laborator

Hi juyoungkimgold1,

Did you have time to read our message please?

Hi. I found a temporary fix for the featured image not displaying: overwriting the css class. You guys, for some reason, put opacity 0 for the featured image. But I have a bigger problem. The blog posts overlap each other. Please have a look here: http://thestreetangle.com/blog/ Furthermore, while on a mobile device the pagination does not work. I just bought your theme and for less that 24 hours it’s more than enough issues, don’t you think? Please provide help.

The top css property of is calculated wrong, from what i’m seeing.

div class=”isotope-item bw12 with-padding” style=”position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 1670px;”

element.style { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 1670px; }

The previous post has the top set to 1600px. So obviously that at 1670px the second post is going to overlap since they have absolute positioning.

Maybe this is a good starting point in your investigation.

So, I was looking in the code where you guys set the top for that div and could not find it, but i cam across this line of code: laborator_show_image_placeholder($post_thumbnail_id, $thumb_size, ’’, $blog_post_list_lazy_load);. This made me remember that there is a lazy loading option in the theme settings. So I enabled it and now the posts first appear as placeholders and then the images are loaded. This way the top css property is calculated correctly and the post no longer overlap. However, the problem still persists for those of us who do not want lazy loading. So please keep looking into it.

Hi dustyenterprise,

Good find, when the Lazy Load is off from the theme options, it creates this problem. Good find.

We will write this problem on our To-Do list, and we hope that we can fix it for the next update.

Until then, maybe you can enable Lazy Loading.

Thank you for finding this *bug :)

Hi,

I really enjoy the theme, it’s awesome! There is just one problem im having right now which effects my whole sites design. I’m now using the Top Menu option where i have decided to place my “about me” text, everything works smooth and fine on the computers. The problem occurs when it’s on mobile, as the theme decides to use a default mobile menu which in turn removes all widgets and just lists the pages?

Any suggestions on how to force the theme to use top menu even when mobile?

Hi Nerian,

When you are on mobile view on Kalium, the menu will open from the left side, that is the best alternative for sites of those kind.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yeah i understand that, but since im having some important widgets that are removed because of that it’s not that simple. Can i somehow add text to the mobile menu apart from page titles?

Thanks for the fast response!

Hi Nerian,

Did you had widgets on header?

Can you please write us your site URL here on comments please?


Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi

I must say the Kalium agency theme is the best I’ve seen in the market. It works wonders for what I want to do. The visual composer tool helps make the customization faster too.

I have one issue which I hope you will be able to resolve. The navigation menu seems to be alphabetical order! So for example if I want “Featured, All, Branding” the navigation appears as “All,Branding,Featured” because of the alphabetical functionality. Is there any way I could turn of the alphabetical functionality?

Thanks Nakkeeran

Hi Nakkeeran,

We are happy to hear these kind words from our customers, we will always try to make it better and better :).

The problem which you stated is a known issue for us because other people reported this also, I have talked with the developer and he said that the method he used for the filter does not allow any other way to be implemented so for now I don’t think that we will do anything to fix it but in the future updates maybe we will start to implement a new method which will allow to change the order.

Hi. After a few hours of playing with the theme my featured images no longer show up. The images are there, permissions are correct. Its the theme that’s causing this. If i change the theme they all work. Can you please provide some help? Thanks!

Hi dustyenterprise,

Nice, so the problem is fixed now, right?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yes, its fixed now.

Great news :)

Cheers!

Hey there, how can I change the menu to be a normal looking menu with it listed as horizontal tabs, rather than having the modern / mobile menu option – for when on a laptop or desktop? Can this be done! Very important as my client wants the menu design changed. Thanks

Nevermind, I found out where to do that. thanks—another question, apparently my client cannot see the portfolio titles, underneath each large thumbnail image on the main portfolio page. Is this an issue in IE10 or IE? Can you help with this?

Hi there,

Are you sure you have set the right Portfolio Type? There are many types for the portfolio and one of them does not show the titles below the images but inside them.

Could you please tell me, is there a quick and easy way to change the width of the gutters in the portfolio? I.e. the space between the image thumbnails? Or could you point me in a general direction? Thank you.

i figured it out. thank youuuuuuu

Hi phaedon,

Glad to hear that :)

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, first of all thanks for the great theme. Its awesome. I have a problem with the thumbnail size on the portfolio page.

In the theme options -> Portfolio Settings -> Thumbnails with Visible Titles Settings there is a option for “Thumbnail size for this type”. If i leave this option blank the size is 505×420.

I changed the value to, for example 100×200, but nothing changed on the portfolio page, it has still the “big” pictures.

What did i wrong? It would be great if someone can help me with this.

Hi

I guess that the characters are causing this issue. So instead of this ×* type plain *x and then try again.

Also do not forget to regenerate thumbnails after saving this setting, it should work.


Arlind

Thanks Arlind, that was a copy and paste mistake. In the theme i used the character x and not ×

Where can i regenerate the thumbnails after saving this setting? I didnt regenerate anything so maybe thats the problem.

Greeting

Hi there,

Get this plugin and put it in action after you’ve done the changes, wait until the whole process is completed and check your site again.

Hi Ylli I’m very curious about the next update. Mostly of the new photograph template. :) Thanks again! Bests N

Hi nobyone,

Dear team,

I’ve finally updated the theme! Now I have some questions :)

1. I’d like the carrousel loop to follow as a carrousel indeed, not to rewind all the images fast and start again. How can I do that?

2. Also, I’d like to make the logo and menu black or white automatically depending on the background image, as it happens on your demo.

3. The carrousel images in the phone look really small compared with the logo. How can I fix that?

My website is gingin.com.ar

Thank you very much! Best regards.

Hi Budka,

1— If you are refering “Carousel” for the slider on the top of your homepage, you can configure it from the Layer Slider or Revolution Slider settings (based from which are you using) on their options.

2— Art will reply you as soon as he see your email, we accept more than 100 tickets per day, and it’s very hard to reply all for one day.

3— That is how the slider (plugin) works, we don’t know any solution for that.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Ylli,

Thank you very much! Best regards,

Budka

Glad to hear that Budka :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, I used LayerSlider WP, but it appears in the background. Could you tell mi prease why is that ?

Hi radek3000,

I’m sorry but i think that i can’t understand your request, can you please be more specific?

Also 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

Hi Laborator,

when you will release a new update of the theme?

Hi Rovereta,

We will update Kalium early next week, and it will be fully compatible with the latest version of Wordpress 4.3 :)

Kind Regards,
