Is there any estimated time for Photography template?

Hi there,

We don’t have any ETA for the photography theme, we have currently postponed the work on it.

Hello there,

I’d like to purchase your theme for my portfolio showcase.

I like it the way it is I would just need to add/modify/remove content but I don’t know how to code.

Will I be able to do that wihout knowing how to code?

Thanks

Hi there,

The theme is very easy to setup and what you have to do is just play a bit with it, if you want to modify the style from core then you need to know coding well but if you want to modify the theme a bit you won’t have any problems with it and also for some small styling issues we can help you on it :)

There is major bug that pops up when I create a portfolio page with an image slider widget and an image comparison widget. when i slide the control in the comparison images, the images from the image slider move left to right as well. How can I fix this? It’s getting really annoying! I have included a screenshot for your reference:

Hi Deepak,

We checked your problem again and finally we found a fix :)

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 tell us if it’s working :)

Cheers, Deepak.

Hi Deepak,

Now that is a great news :) We will include this fix on the next update for all the users too.

Thank you for your cooperation on finding this bug :)

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 ) Thank You!

Hi laborator team,

I currently updated to 1.6.1. and everything works fine except my starting page. http://www.mayersimon.com The background images are displayed twice and in a weird position. I tried to fix it by different background-image settings but couldn’t get the result I wanted. Normally the image in the background is not displayed and the image in the foreground is fullwidth.

Thanks a lot for the support!

Best regards Simon

Hi I just tried updating the kalium theme using the envato toolkit in my wordpress console and the update failed and has cause some fatal error!

in the themes option it says that kalium is a broken theme and the stylesheet is missing!!

Please help!! i have spent a lot of time customising this theme and now everything is gone!

Hi there,

How have you installed the theme, are you sure you have followed all the instructions in the documentation.

These problems you’re describing are usually caused by uploading the wrong file in the theme upload.

Hi,

I’ve got a previous support issue that I’ve raised with you on the 24th July regarding my website.

I’ve provided you FTP details to try and solve the problem of images not showing. But I’ve not had any emails back from you. I’ve since changed the FTP password.

I’ve tried several times to solve the problem myself. Including the functions.php to disable lazyloading and animation in of images. Which does solve the problem but not everywhere in the site. The blog post individual galleries/featured images do not show. And even then the site is more clunky with loading content when it does look nice with the animations.

I’m getting a bit frustrated as I need to try and complete the site and get it live. But don’t know whether I should put more time into fixing it or give up and try to find another theme.

Are you able to provide further support with this?

Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick,

As far as I remember you have had a problem with the portfolio images not showing up on homepage, they were just blank and now when I checked your site I see they are shown fine, are you still having the same issue?

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

Yes it’s the same issue. Currently the problem is nearly fixed with the function.php fix from your support tab here. Except blog post images within individual posts do not work. Can you tell me how to fix this?

It’s not an ideal solution though as image transitions and lazy loading is mainly disabled.

I could start again from scratch to rebuild the site to try and get the theme working fully but feel I might end up with exactly the same problem again.

Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick,

I know that this problem is issue is really annoying for you but we couldn’t get what the problem really is, you’re the only user experiencing this and it’s really complicated.

You can try by installing the theme in a local server and see if you’re running into the same problem again, if it doesn’t appear again you can re-build it.

Kind Regards,
Art

I have a problem regarding installation.

I read all the comments and issues and responses previously written here and I’d appreciate if you have any other ideas before I wave a white flag:

  • tried to upload the theme through wp – gave me the “are you sure” message – did not work
  • went over to upload through FTP manually. uploaded but not working
  • installed the the layerslider plugin manually (got the files from your folder) – plugin uploaded fine and finally I managed to upload the theme. but it is not working. it shows – “The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request” after I upload the theme
  • updated PHP configuration limits to what is recommended by you (FatCow hosting) – no change

I need to make it work before Monday the 09/28… Anyone has an idea what else should I do?

Hi there,

I am really sorry for the late reply but we couldn’t get back to you, we had a national holiday and then it was weekend so we had a bit vacation.

Can you please send us your WP credentials on email? We need to investigate your problem and then get back to you with possible solution.

Hi guys, first thing great job with this template, reallly a nice one! Mi concern is about installing two webfonts which I’ve bought separately: - myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/didot - myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/mark I wonder if there’s a safe and easy way to upload them and set both a title and a body style. I mean is there a plugin you recommend or do I have to do this manually? In this case, can you please support me?

Many thanks,

Mattia from KC

Hi Mattia,

Great, i don’t think that it will cause any trouble, if it causes anything you have easy access to remove it again :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

All set then, thank you for your support!

All the very best,

Mattia

Hi Mattia,

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 ) :)

Have a nice day!

For your information (and use :-) ), I’ve done the french translation of your theme, so you can integrate it if you want in future update. It’s available (& free) for those interested here : http://www.choisirsonweb.com/projets/traduction-de-themes-wordpress-en-francais/. Enjoy !

Hi there,

We are really thankful for your kindness and for translating the theme, we will look forward to include it in the upcoming updates and try to integrate more translations on it.

Kind Regards,
Art

You’re welcome :-)

I know it’s boring to translate… So I prefer to share when done.

Hi plus4,

You have done a great job with this, we’re sure that this will help some of the customers who use French language :)

P.S: If you like kalium, it would help us a lot if you could rate our item on themeforest from your Downloads tab, ( if you don’t know how, just open this link ) :)

Hello, Is it possible to add smaller images to a Column style portfolio without them being stretched to the column width – 1140px?

Setting images to 2/3 would be ok but I want them to be centered to the middle of the column, not on the left.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Try adding this to the Custom CSS

.image-placeholder img {
    position:absolute !important;
    left:0 !important;
    right:0 !important;
    margin-left:auto !important;
    margin-right:auto !important;
width: auto !important;
}

.image-placeholder {
background-color: transparent;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

The CSS manages to get the images to their correct size but it sort of causes issues with the spacing between images. And the images in the masonry grid get affected too which isnt ideal.

http://jontyspina.com/portfolio/700x700/ (i’ll leave the code in for a while so you can view it if you’d like to.)

It looks like its a bigger ask then I originally thought and I wouldn’t want to take up any more of your time. The original theme is still really great and I’m happy with it, so maybe I’ll just leave it how it was.

Thank a bunch for your time and effort. I’m happy to rate 5 stars :)

Hi JontySpina,

We will test this again on our localhost, and if this is a bug or something that we fix it, it will be fixed on the next updates.

Thank you for your kind rating, we appreciate that :)

Hi! Wonderful theme! Some pre-sale questions here: a) Is it possible to make the withd of the layout wider? https://www.dropbox.com/s/libu5hzg1enx5du/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202015-09-24%20a%20la%28s%29%2011.04.52.jpg?dl=0 b) Does the package include a Child Theme? c) Is it possible no have non-google-fonts and use font-face? Thanks!

Hi there,

If you’re good at CSS then you can modify the layout without any problem, which means you can enlarge the width of the container.

Kind Regards,
Art

Iam not good on CSS :( but I really want to buy your theme which I found wonderfull! If you could help me with that I would appreciate it :)

Hi Tontcho,

With the current Kalium code organization, is difficult to achieve that, because we need to do a lot of modifications to adjust for that layout.

Hope for your understanding :)

Hi. After the update, alignment/padding on my portfolio messed up. Any suggestions? Thanks. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ju04tdz2tnlsb39/Screenshot-2015-08-25-13.59_edit.jpg?dl=0

Replied your e-mail.

Hi. How to adjust padding for mobile menu so it doesn’t effect the desktop? I tried:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) .main-header { padding-top: 9px!important; padding-bottom: 9px!important; }

Doesn’t seem to work…

Thanks

Hi studio_eight,

Hello! I have 3 questions:

1. Can you please tell me how to remove the underline animation in my footer social links.

2. When you land on my page the nav is black but when you scroll up the nav changes color to the default green. How can I customize this color?

3. Most important :) I’ve added @media screen and (min-width: 1200px) { .container { width: 1800px !important; } to my custom css in the responsive tab. Nothing changes but when I do it in chrome inspect it does so the code must be correct. Can you please assist?

My site: Christysilva.co

Hi csilva101,

Please use this corrected code:

.main-footer .footer-links .social-networks>li a:after {
    background-color: transparent !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul>li>a {
    color: #000 !important;
}

.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu>li>a {
    color: #000 !important;
}

it is working for me, it must work for you too :)

Kind Regards,

Hi Ylli,

Really sorry about this but again its not working. I am pretty familiar with CSS and haven’t been able to figure it out myself which is why I am asking for your help. Usually basic stuff like this I can figure out easily.

I really appreciate the time you put into helping me out! Please let me know how we can get this resolved. :)

Hi, thank you for this cool theme !

I’ve a question about portfolio style. I need to put a custom style on portfolio items list (Portfolio-type = thumbnails with title inside) :
  • opacity:0.7 on image
  • opacity:1 on image hover (I disabled the color .hover-state with a transparent color).
I tried with .thumb .image-placeholder and other classes but I can’t find the good class to change the hover style of image. I also tried to use VC “post grid” but I don’t know how to place custom query here. Could you help me ?

I’ve just found the solution I think : add a custom css class (projets_liste) for vc row and use .thumb for effect : /*grid CPT (portfolio)*/ .hover-state { background: transparent; } .projets_liste .thumb{ opacity:0.7; } .projets_liste .thumb:hover{ opacity:1; } .projets_liste .thumb:hover img{ transform: scale(1.1); transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out 0s; } So, it works ! Thanks

Hi there,

Glad to hear you managed to fix it, thank you for sharing the fix :)

Thank you for the style fix today! : )

You’re welcome :)
