Hello Please check http://www.boapro.com.tr We are trying to create the same landing page with architecture but somehow we can not get rid of the up navigation line which is moving with the slider also the dots. How can we create the same with the demo you have where can we do it on wp admin panel Thank you

Hi there,

This is a Revolution Slider related question, you can enable the arrows by going in the Admin Panel > Rev Slider > Slider settings (cog) > and enable the arrows just like in the screenshot below.

Thank you,

Hi Gaia,

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

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white h3 a {
    color: #fff !important;
}

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state.hover-style-white p a {
    color: #fff !important;
}

2— Can you please try to be very specific about the problem and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer :)

P.S: You are using an old version of our theme (1.6.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.7), 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./

Hi, thank you for the code. it works!

I still have two problems that i can’t figure out. 1 – I can’t update the theme, i followed the instructions but at the end displayed the message ‘Theme update failed’, i don’t know what to do to fix it

2 – How do I add a sub-menu to the main menu? i want to put there a parents portfolio category so when i click it shows a list of subcategory. Like this screenshot of your demo. https://www.dropbox.com/s/erfh1gss13xi2l1/Schermata%202015-10-03%20alle%2016.12.58.png?dl=0

Thank you Gaia

Hi Gaia,

1. 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.

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. Also emails response time can be up to 7 business days.

2. It’s really simple, go to Appearance > Menus and simply drag the items under the parent menu.

Kind Regards,
Art

How do you manually sort the portfolios? Tried modifying date but it didn’t help.

Hi vahanavagyan,

I just checked your site and it seems you’re using and outdated version of the theme and therefore many components and options may not be supported anymore in that version, we suggest you to update the theme before proceeding further.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Theme is now updated. Thanks.

Are you still facing these issues after updating the theme?

hi ylli,

thanks for your help getting my page up again. some of my tasks are already done but i’ll need some help on a few more. here they come:

- i would like to loop the video on the revolution slider while keeping the titles and mouse icon steady (no reload of those items) – how can i do that? - i can’t see the mouse on the revolution slider even though the div is set – how can i make it show? - on the contact page i would like to close the gap between the map and the footer, so no background shows between them – how can i do that?

thanks already for your help.

Hi roman,

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 Roman,

1— We don’t know any solution for this, maybe it’s better to read official Revolution Slider Documentation

2— Done.

3— We can’t remove that gap because that gap is coming form Visual Composer and if we touch it it will create problems on other pages. So the best option there is if you put the Map on top.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Is there a way to remove the zoom option (no link) from portfolio photos without manual-code-intervention?

Hi vahanavagyan,

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

Never mind – this problem is solved. It was my cache.

Glad to hear that :)

Hello, is there a way to display your portfolio items in random order in the portfolio settings? I mean in the standard theme options?

Hi

Yes its available. Create a page with Portfolio Page template and check this box in Portfolio Settings:

http://drops.laborator.co/1domO

Then go to Custom Query tab and set these options:

http://drops.laborator.co/12MUM



Note: Pagination in this page will not work properly, because random portfolio items will be shown, so you need to show all items in single page (this is not issue, just the way it works)

Is there anything I have to do in order to make the comparison work on mobile screens? I’m testing on an iPhone 6 Plus with the latest iOS. Below link’s 1st image is an image comparison for you to test. Thank you!

http://vahanavagyan.com/portfolio/delex-worldwide-logistics/

- Vahan

Thank you.

p.s. Im surprised no one brought this to your attention.

I think that you are the first that used two image comparison on a single portfolio :)

Hi, Is it possible to have more columns in a drop down menu, if so, how to activate/code it? http://ur-eksperten.dk/wordpress Se the dropdown menu: Herreure… I have only put in one fifth of all the brands needed, so the drop down is going to be way to long, and I therefore wish to have the text smaller and maybe 5 columns. Hope you can help.

Best Regards Pernille Damgaard Nielsen

Hi Pernille,

I’m afraid that this is not possible, if you want to achieve this thing maybe UberMenu (Mega menu) can help you, but we haven’t tested it yet on our theme.

—Ylli

How can i rename the ‘portfolio’ to ‘work’?

- Thanks!

Hi

To change URL slug for portfolio add this code in functions.php:

add_filter( 'portfolioposttype_args', 'portfolio_rewrite_url_slug_filter' );

function portfolio_rewrite_url_slug_filter( $args ) {

    $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'work'; // change 'work' to your preferred url slug

    return $args;
}

Then flush rewrite links in by just saving settings in Settings > Permalinks


Arlind

Resolved. Thank you!

Glad to hear that :)

Hello there, I have a problem with a fullscreen background image. On my homepage the background is not covering the whole div on Google Chrome for Windows. However on Google Chrome for Mac this looks good. This is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/NBdgyPP

Hi TheWhiteHoward,

Unfortunately we don’t have any PC on our office but i tested your site on the FF, Safari and Chrome, and everything is working perfect.

Screenshots link

I think that the same will appear on Windows too, because browsers work the same on Windows and PC.

—Ylli

I changed the row style to stretch row and content (no paddings) and it seems to be working now.

Hi there,

Wohoo glad to hear that the problem is solved now!

P.S: thank your for your funny rating comment :)

Hello, I just bought Kalium. I´m using wordpress version 4.3.1 via synology disk station. Navigating through Appearance > Themes > Install Themes > Upload > kalium.zip > Install Now I get the message: “Are you sure to do this? Please try again.” (translated from German) and Kalium is not installed. Other WordPress themes run without any problems. Do I have to change any settings? What could be the reason? Thank you! Max

Hi Max,

Most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, PHP is configured to a maximum file upload size limit at 8 megabytes or less. The theme ZIP is about 9.5 megabytes in size. Thus, the web server is rejecting the upload. WordPress is giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme fault or bug.

There two ways to solve this problem.

1— You can either get your web host to increase your PHP limits.

2—You can upload your theme via an FTP client.

Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:

max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

For more info visit this link Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

If you need more info, please don’t hesitate to write us :)

Great tool you’ve made! Thank you so much!

I would like to get some help with:

1. I’d like to have a single column blog like the demo. However… I started w agency demo content. And I do not want my settings over-written by the blog demo content Or does it not over write everything ?

2. When I activate the Kalium child them it also overwrites some of my settings? Any way to make that not happen ?

Thanks!

Hi MrSeanG,

1— Please just go to Theme Options > Blog Settings >

And follow this procedure:

(view large version)

2— When you activate Child Theme it will not overwrite anything if you don’t touch anything there.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks so much! I’m not sure what the issue was w the child theme. I activated it, and my logo and typography changed even though I only installed it. I am looking forward to really digging into what this can do for me.

Hi MrSeanG,

Great, if you need further help just reply to this comment :)

The cover photo on the blog has a lightbox, am I able to remove it? Thanks

Hi mentamedia,

Can you please write us your URL where you want to remove the Lightbox here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Is there any way for me to send you the URL privately?

Hi there, 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.

Hi, guys, I’m sorry to disturb

The portfolio filter seems to have a big issue (step-by-step example below):

  • In your portfolio (http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/), if you filter for exemple the ‘furniture’ items, you get 10 items. Url is now http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/#cat:furniture.
  • So, when you click now on the category itself (below item title), you get… 12 items (with ‘Amnesty international – category = digital art, and ‘Random people quotes project – category = photography)... Url is now : http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio-category/furniture/
  • If you click on “All” (filter), you don’t go back to portfolio list but it just add # after the url : http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio-category/furniture/#
  • And if I want to change the category with the filter (eg. Digital Art), I get only 2 items instead of the nine… Url is http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio-category/furniture/#cat:digital-art
  • Seems js add #cat: after the entire slug, so make issues : window.location.hash = term != '*' ? ('cat:' + term) : '';

    Same thing with my portfolio, obviously. So I fixed that with css for the moment (I hope you can fix it) with a display:none for filter when it’s not in homepage or post-type-archive-portfolio. But I’d like to add a button or link to go back to portfolio list : what is the good php file for the category list (many templates in kalium/tpls files :-) ) ?

    Question 2 : how to change (or remove) “portfolio-category” in slug ? Instead of website/portfolio-category/categorie-item, I want to change it with website/categorie/categorie-item, or better : ‘website/categorie-item’...

    Question 3 : is it possible to remove the ‘cat:’ after # for a better SEO ? I can change it in js file but I don’t know if it’s possible and I suppose the next update will delete it ?

    Thanks a lot

Hi plus4,

Ok then, we will check your email on Monday.

Have a nice weekend!

Hello,

This is a pre-sale question:

Is it possible in your demos Agency or Architecture, not having the hidden menu?

Thanks!

Hi aleborigen,

You can leave menu like on the Dark Demo.

It is very easy to do that, just need to tick an option on Theme Options :)

Hello,

I just purchased Kalium, and really enjoy the look of it and all the different features. But.. One thing’s been bugging me from the beginning, and I’d really like to solve it right away. Now, I can see that the problem I’m getting has been issued before by other costumers, so I will cut to the chase: I have uploaded the “Main” theme content, and I have changed the header logo in theme options. So, the logo is there when I load the page, but within seconds it changes back to the white kalium logo. Is there an easy way for me to get around this problem? I would like it if you could give me a clue on how to do it myself, since I might need to try different variations of the logo.. Thanks

Nevermind, I found the answer in a previous comment :-)

Hi guys, just bought the Kalium Theme again and I am just happy with the result. However I have a few questions.

1. On my smartphone … menu hyperlinks are green 2. On my tablet … ... menu hyperlinks are green 3. In portrait mode on my tablet my menu is totally missing … 4. I have installed 1.3.1 of the theme, what happens when I update to the latest and greatest? :-) 5. I can also send you my wp-login.

Please help Thank you.

Hi uepsilon

We are glad to hear those words.

Depending on the version you have, we have done tons of improvements and new features, so I strongly recommend you to update to the latest version of Kalium.

To update the theme, I suggest you to create a backup of current theme folder and save it to your computer then update the theme using Envato Toolkit plugin bundled with the theme.

Best regards

hello,

I would like to know if it possible to built portfolio items with visualiser like in the page? Thank you.

Hi Cedric,

The Visual Composer is only supported in Pages, in the portfolio items you have your own styling with a lot of options.

Kind Regards,
Art

ok thanks, so I don’t quite get all the styling options yet… for instance in my portfolio items, I hove not only pictures but I want also to insert some sound files either self hosted or from soundcloud. It is possible to do that from the blog apparently but not in the portfolio item. I use the freelancer template. Thanks for help on this…

Hi cedric_m,

1— When you go to Portfolio > Add New Item Just click Publish and then options will appear, and there you can choose to any of the predefined layout types (view large version)

2— We don’t offer Sound on the portfolio for the moment, maybe we can add it on the next updates.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli
