Hi guys,

Would like to check if there’s a listing of usable shortcodes in this theme?

In particular, I’m looking at using Columns and Dropcaps in my blog posts.

Thanks!

Hi infuxion

This theme supports shortcodes and they are all listed with Visual Composer, when you edit or add pages you will have a GUI for shortcodes:

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

Actually, our theme Kalium doesn’t include a Dropcap shortcode but there are plenty of plugins to add dropcaps in your site.

Hi there,

Nearly finished my site – I have a quick question. I’ve created some content for mobile only but I notice that the hidden containers are creating space in the layout for all other devices. This seems to be the margin settings on the hidden containers. Not sure how to target these in the CSS because I think this will remove the margins on the containers for mobile devices as well.

Do you have a quick fix for this?

Thanks for your help.

Deborah

Thanks, I will try to remove them.

Hi Ylli,

I’ve tried to remove the space but can’t – there are quite a few pages on my site which when viewed on mobile have very unstructured space. The space is definitely being created by margin on hidden elements and this can’t be targeted in the css unless I strip the margin out of all of the div containers – so it’s all or nothing!

Do you think this is something you will be working on for the next update?

Thanks

Deborah

Hi Deborah,

We will check if the same issue happens in our demo site, if it does it will be in our future plans to fix it :)

Hi, sorry, here You have it – http://www.instytutkulturywizualnej.org/dzialania/ Greetings

Hi ikworg,

You have created the blog with Visual Composer layout and not our layout.

You can change “read more” text, by providing a translation to the plugin with .po file. All strings are outputted with __(); or _e(); function, so it’s easy to translate plugin according to WP standards.

hello Ylli!

thank you for your advice today to update my theme. now it’s up-to-date (version 1.7.1) but unfortunately there are still some 404-errors going on in the background.

everything seems to be fine, but the chrome-console spits out lots of “GET http://www.eins-a-gestaltung.de/undefined 404 (Not Found)”s.

please have a look: http://www.eins-a-gestaltung.de thank you very much for your help!

kind regards, thomas.

Hi Thomas

Can you please check if you have cleared the cache.

I’ve visited your site and everything is working fine, I receive no 404 errors at all!

Checked all the pages on your site.


Arlind

hi arlind, yes!!! after clearing the cache: everything is working fine! I´m sorry to have bothered you with a simple cache-issue … :) thank you very much! really great theme! kind regards, thomas.

Hi Thomas,

Don’t worry for that, we are here to help you :)

Hi,

I need your help with 2 features.

1.) If I put the the revolutionary slider or the layerslider in a blogpost I only get sourcecode as an output on the page.

See a Screenshot here: http://i61.tinypic.com/1zgqmuv.png

2.) I would like to recreate the Noor Chair Demopage http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/noor-chair/ for a blogpost. How did you do the “fullscreen picture gallery”? Especially with the description text on rollover?

Hi RILHADKOA,

1— We have disabled this option because of the new Envato rules.

But if you still want to use Revolution Slider on the Single Blog Page then you can do this:

Download this file, then go to kalium / tpls and paste the file that you have just downloaded.

Then choose which RevSlider slider you want to use

(view large version)

2— That is a Portfolio item page, and not Blog page.

This is the options that we used on that page:

(view large version)

Sorry for the disturb. PS awsome theme! Two things. 1_I would like the black text in the thumbnails of the page “contatti” but remain white how can I change it? 2_ why the sticky menu with the fixed background works only in the home page? We would like the fix menu with the grey background for the entire site without revail effet after scroll. Is it possible?

Thank you!

Can I remove or change the link in the page 404 not found? Because it redirect on the same page 404 error but my home page works. Also I changed the wp url

Hi Muzzo1987,

Glad to hear that :)

Hi,

Since a few days, i’ve got a major issue : all the text on items pages are croped on both sides.

I did apply the custom CSS below, but if it’s quiet ok on desktop, it’s worse on small screens.

.project-description .lab-row-container { padding: 0; margin: 0; }

The problem is due to an update, because i’ve haven’t touch my website for a while, and it appear after a massive WP/theme/plugin update.

I have to admit that if there is a way to fix that without adding more CSS, it would be great !

site : mono.archi

PS : I’ve deleted the fix, so you can see the actual problem, and anyway the fix is not perfect.

Hi amorizot,

We will talk with envato and hope that they will introduce this feature :P

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Is there a way to change the following text :

share

Previous project Next project

Hi there,

You can do that by using a translation plugin like Loco Translate, scan for theme strings and edit these strings to the ones you want to use.

Kind Regards,
Art

I have changed the Custom portfolio. but i noticed that, those uncategorized items and those parent categories will also be shown in the category filter. i think it also needs to be fixed.

Hi Doncka,

I’m sorry for messaging you, but i saw that you rated us with 4 stars again, was that by mistake please?

Best regards,
—Ylli

Hi sorry if you think 4 stars is not enough… Kalium is an amazing theme, but i was thinking 5 stars is the maximum and i’m sure you can make Kalium even better.

The support is fantastic although very short, for example, for me I’m new on wordpress, need a longer support, and some features are not working how i expecte. Anyway, i recommend and i love Kalium.

Hi Doncka,

Thanks for replying to us. And thank you very much for your kind words.

Is there any chance to increase that rating please? This is important for us, we will not stop developing Kalium everyday and make it better for community.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Hi There,

1. I am having some issues with the portfolio page, it seems to be overlapping the header, logo and hamburger menu.. wasnt before but now it is.. weird.. any ideas

2. I have attempted your instructions to change the hamburger menu to white on the slider in dark_theme and then change to black on all pages using this Custom CSS I found on this forum.

.menu-bar .ham { background: red !important; }

.menu-bar .ham:after, .menu-bar .ham:before { background: red !important; }

- then change red color to the color you prefer :)

Kind Regards, —Ylli

This works in red only, unfortunately when I change to any other colour it changes the hamburger menu, but then lines (top bottom & middle) disappear..?

Any light would be great.

Toby.

Apologies it is my first time using this forum, I will place it all in the one thread…

Can you please send me a email directly (the one on my account) and I will create a login on the back end of wordpress for you. The site is still under construction and want to keep the coming soon page up..

Thank you and speak soon.

Also I have just updated the theme and the site logo appears black when loading the home page, then turns white for the slider, any way of having this just load white and alt image (black) on all the other pages..?

I have set the logo in Branding to have the black alternate logo, and the Rev slider to have the white logo… Hope that makes sense.

Cheers

1) How do I get the main menu = to show up? Laborator / Header and Menu: - I selected a few main menu types—nothing visible. - I selected [x] Force top menu include in header

2a) How do I add a portfolio category to menu on Page = Home. Right now it has All then three categories but not a new one I added. http://www.leanstart.io/ All Agile Marketing Dev Ops Lean Consulting Design & Build 2b) How do I arrange the order of the portfolio menu above?

Thank you!

Mitch

Hi Mitch,

1. In the Menus scroll at the bottom of the page in the Menu Settings and tick the Main Menu then save the menu.

2a) You will need to add items to that category if you want it to be displayed in this list, when it doesn’t have any item it won’t show.

2b) Unfortunately this option is not available right now, the only way is to display them as they are, we will look to implement a new way of ordering these.

Kind Regards,
Art

None of it worked for me.

1. Appearance/Menus/MenuSettings/ select radio button ‘Main Menu’ in theme sections then scroll to bottom select Save Menu button—no menu shows up on home page leanstart.io (on chrome, safari, or firefox) or on any other page…aka about, services-2, contact, etc.

2a) Already added a category when I sent note so 4 in total—only 3 are visible if you don’t include All. - I added the category by going Portfolio/ PortfolioCategories/ Add New Portfolio Category - I checked other categories all look the same… - All categories have text all the fields and all have Parent = None. - All have more than one portfolio item associated to them.

2b) got it. if I can get 2a) above working I can add it in the order I want for now.

please advise what I might try next. if helpful I have barely touched anything from the time of install with demo content.

hello,

thanks a lot for this great “kalium”theme - it’s awesome. I really like it … and after a few weeks I´m really happy with my new portfolio-website: http://www.eins-a-gestaltung.de/

but as always – the devil is in the detail … ;)

when I´m looking at the “console”feature of the chrome-browser, I´ll see lots of errors. like: “http://www.eins-a-gestaltung.de/undefined Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)” ... and so on … - what can I do to get no errors running in the background!?

thank you very much for your help!

regards, thomas.

Hi Thomas,

Always nice to hear those words from our happy clients :)

You are using an old version of our theme (1.6.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.7.1), 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.

P.S: Nice projects :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

hi, I currently updated the theme. then it seem ruined my website. T___T how can I fix it?

Hi etyy1219,

Your site is on coming soon mode, can you please disable it until we fix your problem.

Also please send us the exact link of your Blog page. Thanks :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi there,

Please forward us your FTP details too, and the best would be to activate the Child theme, otherwise you will loose the customizations again whenever you update the theme.

Kind Regards,
Art

hello, it seems after the update the carousel portfolio type stopped working. how can i fix this? thanks!

Hi acuerdo15,

Can you please write us URL of this page where this is happening here? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution

The “Submenu indicator icon” doesn’t seem to be working. It is currently on yet I see no such indicator on my menu—> http://vahanavagyan.com (i’ll leave this setting checked so that you can investigate). Thanks.

Hi there,

There is no submenu indicator, the sub-sub menu indicator displays on dropdowns and not on the main menu.

P.S: I saw that you have created some other tickets, can you please try to add all your questions in one thread, because in this way is easy for us to understand what you have done and what is left, also is would be easy for you to post in one thread :)

Kind Regards,
Art

Is there a way to show an icon near the top menu item (perhaps using CSS Classes)?

Hi there,

You can add any icon but there isn’t any icon pack imported by default in the theme.

Kind Regards,
Art
