Hi!

I am using Kalium theme and just recently updated to version 1.6.1.

I have a problem with portfolio items when using the carousel (3) design option. The text (info and headline) does not align with the first image and other images that I add does not show at all (all this worked perfectly before update).

I am not sure if this is related, but I am also getting a notification that I need to update Layer Slider from 5.5.1 to 5.6.2. I have done that so many times, but it doesn’t seem to register.

Please help!

Hi Emilie,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .photo {
    float: left !important;
}

i think that will fix your issue, so please tell us :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Well, I tried this and its still not working. When I look at your site, Kalium theme live preview, well it’s not working there either. If the code you give me should work, how come the portfolio slider still doesn’t work on your own site? Best Regards Emilie

Hello, I changed the file as you have told me , the problem persists. The error code if it reappears on the pages.

Hi Vanessa

Please download this file and then try again to see if the problem is fixed:

Replace it in the same folder you did before I told you.

Hi Kalium Team

After upgrading to 1.6 I happily found some of my reported bugs fixed :-) But there is one still there: when enabling ” Show categories below the titles” and clicking of one of the categories on the thumbnail of any portfolio items the sorting still doesn’t work properly. When disabling the interaction of the categories showed on the thumbnails then it would be no big deal, but since you can click on the categories on top of the thumbnails the user assumes it sorts, but it doesn’t do this in a correct way. See here: http://paintedbynature.ch/augenblicke/ The difference between the sorting by category shown on a thumbnail is the URL. E.g. http://paintedbynature.ch/augenblicke/?portfolio-category=laender versus the URL when sorting by category on top of the page: http://paintedbynature.ch/augenblicke/?portfolio-category=laender#cat:laender

Thanks, konrad

Hi Konrad

I have created a workaround for this, so please replace these files to get this functionality:

1. Download these files: http://drops.laborator.co/19mst
2. Extract the folder and replace them in these respective directories:


portfolio-listing.php -> wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/
kalium-custom.min.js -> wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/js/

Then in functions.php add this line of code in the end of file:

add_filter( 'portfolio_container_isotope_category_sort_by_js', '__return_true' );

This should work for you.


Arlind

Thanks a lot Arlind, seems to work.

Do you change this in the backend as well, so in the next update it will be fixed, or do I have to repeat these steps after updating to a new version of Kalium?

have a great day,

konrad

Hi konse,

This will be included on the next version of Kalium :)

Hey Ylli,

got a stupid question: I wanted to rebuild the dark skin of Kalium, but it doesn’t work.

I’ve created a revolution slider and set it on the main page. But the revolution slider is not at the top :/ I can I made this? When I set the header on absolute I’ve got problems with the menu header on other sites.

I’ve tried a lot, maybe you can help me out?

Hi there,

Can you post a URL of your site, we have to see what the problem is.

Kind Regards,

How can i change the primary theme color?

Hi

To change theme primary color simply go to:

Appearance > Theme Options

Then click Theme Styling tab, on * Custom Skin Builder* choose Yes and set your preferred colors, and click save.

Here is a screenshot of how to apply the skin:

Hi Laborators,

same as others I have some color issues since I installed the latest update: Even though my individual “Theme styling” seems to be untouched, my website shows the default colors.

In addition I have some troubles when adding columns via Visual Composer to a blog post (this happened even before the update): Whenever I add more than column (like two columns of text) its content will leave the wrapper.

Hi Anna,

I can see that you have added Visual Composer on the Blog, maybe you don’t know but Visual Composer is not supported on the Blog section of the theme.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello Ylli,

when I deactivate the author section shouldn’t a blog entry be like a page or portfolio? Like empty?

I thought that maybe there’s a reason for the insertion to happen and that only a short code snippet is needed to fix this. But I guess, there is nothing you can do.

Hi Anna,

Unless the Visual Composer is used in a blog post we can’t do anything about it, as Ylli said it is not supported in this post type.

Art

Hi,

I´m moving my old photoblog (http://foto.sofiafloren.se) into my new Kalium themed website (http://sofiafloren.se/blogg/). I can´t seem to show the “whole”posts even though I´ve clicked “full text” under Settings – Reading. Is there a way to show the posts as on the old blog, and even better; with a sticky sidemenu?

Thanks, Sofia

Hi Sofia

That setting is applied only to “feed” XML, and its not applied to default blog posts.

So you can do this manually by changing one line of code:

Open this file in your server:

wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/post-details.php

On line 32 change this code:

$post_excerpt       = get_the_excerpt();

To this:

$post_excerpt       = get_the_content();

And save the file. It will display full text for blog posts.

Dear,

I have 2 questions about the the portfolio section.

1. I would like to change the font style for the ‘text quotes’, but can’t find where. Is it possible and if yes, how?

http://demo.webarchitecten.com/pier/index.php/portfolio/aanbouw-woonhuis/

2. All images in the portfolio are clickable and appear in a popup lightbox with < slider > . Is it possible to show the image without any popup?

kind regards, Justin de Kleer

jdekleer@webarchitecten.com

I see, that question 1 is already answered 7 days a go; But i can’t find the place where I can change it in the code… Style.css won’t show ‘blockquote’.

I have it fixed, only question 2 left!

Hi Justin

For the second issue, go to Theme Options and follow the guides in the screenshot below:

http://drops.laborator.co/13Pi4

It will disable the lightbox in portfolio single page.

Best regards


Arlind

Hi, I have Two questions:

1: REDUCE OPACITY OVER THUMBNAILS

I have tried this custom CSS

.portfolio-holder .thumb:hover .hover-state { filter: alpha(opacity=40) !important; -webkit-opacity: .4 !important; -moz-opacity: .4 !important; opacity: .4 !important; }

It work but also the title fade out and is unreadable. Any better solution?

2: IS POSSIBLE WHEN I VISUALIZE FROM TABLETS ONLY TO HAVE TWO COLUMNS INSTEAD OF ONE?

Thank you

Hi Laborator,

I’m using your Woocommerce of Kalium, and I’m still working on this but I’m having some problems with:

1. Changing the Main Menu sizes (I would like to do it a little bit smaller) 2. Putting in horizontal the footer Menu instead in colums 3. Keeping a specific size between header and the images. ( I’m using empty space in home and about us.. but I can’t use this for product pages) 4. And also I would like to delete the underline for the links in the footer menu

This is the website, if you need it. www.aliudstudio.com

Thank you, Clara.

Hi Clara,

Your site is on coming soon mode, can you please disable it until we reply your questions?

P.S:

You are using an old version of our theme (1.5.2) and the latest version for the moment is (1.6.1), please update theme first.

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 :)

Then don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello Laborator,

I do not work in the lightbox images of the portfolio, I should change to look good when clicking on an image? thanks

In my website> no lightbox http://www.javierbalvin.com

> I want it to look like this http://www.javierbalvin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/YES.jpg

Hi balvin

If you want to disable the lightbox:

It will disable the lightbox for portfolio items.

Hi Laborator,

How do I set a button to span the width of a column?

Currently when I add a button it sits on the left, and is only a standard size.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi there,

That’s not possible yet, as I mentioned above the only way is to mange it with columns, I have added this to the to-do list for the next updates.

Kind Regards,
Art

OK. Thats a shame.

Thanks for adding it to the to do list. I look forward to it being available. :-)

I hope it will be available in the next update, thanks again for reporting this :)

Hi there!

I wanted to get the Kalium freelancer, downloaded the file and imported the freelancer file to wordpress, but i don’t think this is the freelancer? https://itsjesseyeay.wordpress.com Uploaded a sample post

I read some comments regarding this, and you said to go to Laborator > Demo Content Install, where can i find this menu and option exactly?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I see your site doesn’t appear to be working anymore, the option you’re looking for will appear immediately after you install the theme, on the left side at the end of the menu list there will appear Laborator where you can select the Demo Content Install and select which pack you want to install.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hey There,

I’m looking to increase my overall site width so that everything is locked responsively to the edge of the page with a bit of padding on each side (~80px). Does that make sense?

Thank you for your wonderful theme!

Hi maxolson

To increase overall width of site and leave only 80px padding apply this Custom CSS:

.container {
    width: 100%;
}

.wrapper {
    padding: 0 80px;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .wrapper {
        padding: 0;
    }
}

I hope it will work the way you wanted.


Arlind

I love the theme, and I have my full website. I have only one question, and I can remove the menu of a page? to not display.

Thanks for any input =)

http://javierbalvin.com

Hi balvin

If you want to remove the menu from specific page apply this custom CSS:

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .menu-bar {
        display: none;
    }
}

Apply it in Page Options, like shown in edit page.

I just upgraded the theme to 1.6 and suddenly the the theme skin options aren’t working. I manually set the links in custom css to my preferred color, but none of the other colors I chose are working. When the page loads you see that the correct background color loads for one moment and then the wrapper is set back to #fff. This is my site: http://ofc.wpengine.com/

Hi there,

FIX: New skin implementation not working in some cases – http://d.pr/gSkT

If skin is not being applied theck check the box under “Custom Skin Builder” and click Save changes to fix this issue.

Hi Laborators :),

I just purchased your wonderful theme. Searched through a lot of themes, but found the Kalium theme to suit my needs best. For my company I’ve bought the Swiss721 font to use for web. I’ve uploaded it on my site and want to use it in my Wordpress/Kalium site. However I can’t get it to work. I’ve added the URL on the custom font field, but after trying all sort of settings, it still doesn’t work.

The font is located in a folder http://jorishoogstede.nl/fonts/webfonts

That is also the URL I use in the Kalium typography page.

Could you please help me with this? Many thanks in advance!

Joris

Hi Joris,

You will need to add another URL to the font field, you will need to be more specific by adding the direct path to the webfont.

I hope I was clear enough to describe what you need to do :).

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks! Finally worked! I used the url to the WOFF file and now it seems to show my own font.

Glad to hear it is working now :)

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello!

I am sorry to bother you again, but is it possible that since the update to 1.6 the custom query of a portfolio page template isn’t working anymore?

I have this feature working here:

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

I checked it in the admin backend at the portfolio page and the custom query and the selected items are still there. But if I look at the output at my page I see now all portfolio items displayed.

And I also have a pagination displayed also I have no number of items to Display selected, the field is empty.

Thank you so much for having a look!

All the best! Martin

I am so sorry, after closing the browser everything seems to work properly…

Hi martin666,

Glad to hear that :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello,

i just updated to Kalium 1.6 and now there’s a small problem.

Right now, I’m only showing the coming soon mode. If I change the background colour (in theme-styling) it still remains green (the default one). It worked before the update..

Best regards, Mathias

Hi Mathias,

Can you please go to the Theme Options and just click Save Options to save the options from the beginning.

Kind Regards,
