Hi there,

I was having trouble inserting a slider into posts (pages are fine) what’s happening is that in place of the slider there is instead a big wodge of code. I have tried Revolution Slider and also Meta Slider and neither work properly.

Example here http://dev.ths.co.uk/3920-2/

password = D3v310p

Grateful for any help you can provide

Hi thscreative

We have fixed this and it will be available in the next update.

Here is quick fix for you:

Download this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/FE13+

And replace it in:

wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

It should make sliders work in single posts.

Hello Ylli,

Thanks for your previous answers now all ok.

I decided to use the page borders and get a couple of small bags.

1. When the page borders are active and I make small screen size when borders are hidden also, I get gap on top between the header and edge of browser. You can see it on image:

http://i.imgur.com/b5koeb4.jpg

2. When I click on a burger menu on my iPhone, there is strange zoom a whole page, it is complexity to describes, please check this out on iPhone. And it is only when page borders turned on in theme options.

Thanks. Roman.

Hi Bordo,

I’m sorry but i can’t fix this problem right now, it is more complicated that i thought, and i don’t have any idea why this is happening on Safari only.

Kind Regards,

I got, I will activate «Show like button for portfolio items» in this case it does not appear.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Bordo,

Thank you very much for reporting this to us :)

Hi, before purchasing, I wanted to know if it´s possible to increase the height/width of the logo e.g. 400×400px. Otherwise is it possible to use a svg graphic instead of the pixel logo? Thank you, Moritz

Hi Moritz,

1— You can the set maximum width for the uploaded logo when you upload the logo on Theme Options.

2— Yes you can do that, but first you need to install a plugin called SVG Support in order to allow Wordpress to support this file :)

Hello! i just updated my theme version.

I had a request to see the subtitle of the item instead of the categories in the portfolio page in the earlier version. Is it possible now?

Cheers,

Camille

Hi Camille,

It is in the to-do list but it’s not available in this version, we will put it in the change-log when we add this feature.

Hi I would like to know what is the difference between grouped product and variable product.

Hi CamilleCole,

This is the official text from the WooCoomerce Documentation

Grouped product is a collection of related products which can be purchased individually and can only consist of simple products. For example, a PS3 could be a grouped product as there are 80GB, 120GB and 200GB variations of that same parent product.

Variable product is a product that has different variations, each of which may have a different SKU, price, stock options etc. For example, a t-shirt available in several different colours and/or sizes.

Hi mrfb59,

That is happening because you haven’t updated Visual Composer plugin.

On each update please go Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi mrfb59

Can you please update Visual Composer to latest version available, you will not receive this error.

Edit Portfolio Item / Button to add image ‘Add Item’ to a portfolio gallery doesn’t do anything on any browser I use. inspect element: Add New

Glad to hear that :)

Hello thank you for such a great theme! I am currently having an issue with the mobile version. My blog pages work and look great in a desktop view but on mobile they are for some reason only filling about 50% of the screen vertically and when previewing in the tablet mode using the visual editor it doesn’t center and bleeds off to the right, causing the reader to have to scroll back and forth horizontally.

Not sure if this is a common problem or if I may have adjusted something and can’t figure out where. Any suggestion what could be causing this? My site is www.dxvisual.com

Hi dxvisual,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.5.1) 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.

If the problem is still present, just reply us again on this thread :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you for your reply. I was able to figure out what was causing the problem. It was a bit of custom CSS I input to shrink a certain div that somehow affected the whole page.

I have a question about updating, Would it revert any of the current customization I have made to my site?

Hi there,

We’re glad to hear you managed to fix your issue, regarding your theme update question – if you’ve done any customization in the theme core files then any modification will be lost cause they will be overwritten, to avoid this you’ll need to use the child theme (if you want to modify the core files).

Hi

URGENT

For some reason the add image button does not work in the portfolio item section. When I click id does nothing

Ignore my message. It works fine.

Glad to hear that :)

I’m looking to buy Kalium for my e-store. Does it have a “newsletter” sign up option where customers can put in their email addresses?

Also does it have an Instagram sharing option on the Product Page. I noticed only Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Twitter and Email sharing are available but not Instagram.

Hi cessperience,

1— Kalium doesn’t offer this feature. There are plenty of plugins that offer this feature.

2— We don’t know any way to share to Instagram, because Instagram doesn’t offer this feature.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello,

My site is completely up to date with the theme and plugins and I’m experiencing some glitches. On my home page (http://mikedesocio.com/), the portfolio items don’t show up.

Also, some portfolio pages (http://mikedesocio.com/portfolio/singles) appear blank.

How can I fix this?

Thank you for the help!

Hi Mike,

We are very sorry for your problems, but we don’t have any complaints similar to this from other 2600+ users, so it can be problem only on your site.

You can see that we are releasing updates very frequently to add more nice things, compatibility with the latest plugins and reported bug fixes to Kalium.

We can help you for this problem, but we need your credentials.

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.

Dear Kalium-team,

first of all thank you for this great theme, which seems to satisfy nearly all the needs of my site.

But there are some issues i am not able to solve.

PORTFOLIO (Thumbnails with visible titles)

1) How do i reduce the hight of the sticky menu bar? 2) My portfolio thumbs have different heights. Obviously the position of the first portfolio thumb of a row complies to the hight of the portfolio thumbs in the row above. In my mind that´s not logical, because human is used to read from left to right. For example in a portfolio with 3 columns, if thumb 1 of row 1 is higher than thumb 2 and 3 of the same row, thumb 4 will not be placed on the left side under thumb 1. You can outwit the frontend by sorting the portfolio items „unlogically“ in the backend, but there is still the problem with the prev/next-navigation, which complies with the „un-logical“ order.

PORTFOLIO ITEM (Side Portfolio)

3) How to reduce the vertical gap between the text block and the upper edge of the first image? 4) How to reduce the vertical gap between the item description and the first title of the checklists? 5) How to reduce the horizontal gap between text and images? 6) I want, that the image description is always shown under the images. What is the correct code for this? 7) How to reduce the vertical gap between the images? There should be a gap, but not so much like presetted. 8) How to reduce the size of the checklist titles? 9) I have de-activated the lightbox feature in the portfolio items. But, mysteriously, if you click on the images (excepting the first images of the portfolio items!–you have this effect only on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, … images), the images will be opened. Seems to be a bug. How can i prevent this? 10) Is it possible, that the prev/next-links get the same style (font, size, underline-effect on mouseover) than the main navigation?

11) Last question is concerning the portfolio page again: I deactivated the portfolio category menu, but want that the category titles are shown under the item titles. Is it possible to make them „unclickable“? I want to use them only as a description.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi – thanks for your answers, i will have an accurate look on them within the next hours. Concerning Q9 i have sent you an link via email.

Hi! Thanks for your answers, but there are still things unclear.

You can check the site here: http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/

1. No, the logo size can not be the reason for this, i have defined the size of it in the theme options (branding). Please check this image. How to reduce the big gap between upper edge of browser – upper edge of logo and lower edge of logo – lower edge of sticky menu (see the red arrows)?

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q1.jpg

2. I use the „Thumbnails with Visible Titles“ layout type with the option „“Use dynamic thumbnail height (not cropped), so thumbnails are shown in their real hight („Thumbnails with Titles Inside (Masonry)“-layout is no option for me becouse i want to have the tiltes under the thumbnails). Please have a look on the following picture. The prev/next-navigation follows the red path, but it would be much more logical to follow the green path (reading from left to right).

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q2.jpg

3. Ok, but can you tell me the code for this?

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q3.jpg

4. The code you gave me reduces the gap between checklist text and next checklist title, but not between item description and first checklist titles, what i was asking for …

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q4.jpg

5. Sorry if i was unclear, following picture shows what gap i mean.

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q5.jpg

8. How can i reduze the text-size of the checklist titles?

9. The link what you was asking for (but it concerns all portfolio items of my portfolio):

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/portfolio/triester

11. I have added your javascript code, but it is still possible to click on the categorys under the titles.

http://2015.satzundsaetze.at/kalium-issues/q11.jpg

Thank you, jakomini

Hi jakomini

1. The vertical gap of logo can be adjusted in Theme Options > Header and Menu, in the end of page you will have sticky menu options:

http://drops.laborator.co/19mhe

2. This is related to this option in Theme Options > Portfolio Settings: http://drops.laborator.co/1anAI

This option is by default activated to go to the closest item (next/previous) within the same Category so for example there are 2 categoryes: Apple and Oranges and the order of items is:

Item 1 (Apple)
Item 2 (Apple)
Item 3 (Orange)
Item 4 (Apple)
Item 5 (Orange)

This algorithm works in this way, if current item is Item 2 the previous item is: Item1 and next item is: Item 4

If you uncheck this option, it will follow the same order you have set.

3. The code to remove that gap is:

.single-portfolio-holder .title h1 {
margin-top: 0px !important;
}

4. The css rule to remove the gap between description and checklist is this:

.single-portfolio-holder.alt-one .services {
 margin-top: 0px !important;
}

5. To reduce this gap here apply this CSS:

.single-portfolio-holder .col-md-7.col-md-offset-1.gallery-column-env {
    width: 66.66666667%;    
    margin-left: 0;
}

.single-portfolio-holder .col-md-7.col-md-offset-1.gallery-column-env .gallery {
    padding-left: 20px;
}

8. To change check lists title size use this CSS:

.single-portfolio-holder .details .services .checklist-entry h3 {
    font-size: 13px;
}

And if you want to change the check list items font size use this CSS:

.single-portfolio-holder .details .services ul li {
    font-size: 13px;
}

9. I see the problem here, please apply this CSS fix:

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .photo {
    pointer-events: none;
    -webkit-pointer-events: none;
    -moz-pointer-events: none;
}

11. Use this CSS to disable clicking on categories as well:

.portfolio-holder .product-box .info p a {
    pointer-events: none;
    -webkit-pointer-events: none;
    -moz-pointer-events: none;
}

I hope this will fix your issues.

Also the CSS I gave you is specific for your case only, so apply it to Custom CSS in admin panel:

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

Whenever you update the theme you will not loose the changes.

Best regards

Hi there!

Two issues: 1. There is a problem with the latest version. The “Masonry” and “Thumbnails with Titles Inside” do not show up at all and in “Thumbnails with Visible Titles” portofolio items show up but weird and one on top of the other. Wordpress updated to latest version and the problems only happened after updating to the newest version of your theme.

2. How can i change the Top Menu type so it will not be collapsed by default? i want it to be open and collapsed only when viewing on mobile.

Thank`s! Roy.

Hi Roy,

Your site is on Maintenance Mode, can you please disable it?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Done. Sorry about that.

Hello, I have problemy with masonry portfolio. How can i make portfolio item 4×5, like it’s in demo. I can only pick 4×4 or 4×6.

Hi idzikisza

Sure, here is what you need to do. Download this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/11hmf+

Replace it in kalium/tpls/ folder. All existing 4×6 elements will be replaced with 4×5 box size.

Hopefully you will like it.

Best regards


Arlind

Thank You so much, that’s it !!!!

Glad to hear that :)

Hey! how is it going? :) I have had great feedback on my new website, top marks on the design.

Quick question.

On the home page i have a ‘portfolios items’ section via the visual composer. I have two portfolios showing. The text underneath is bigger than the style of text on the rest of the page. In the visual composer I can’t see an option to change the size of the text. The text is the portfolio title. If I could match the smaller size of ‘Inconsolata’ on the rest of the page that would be great. I will delete this note once you have seen the website, Google is indexing these pages :( Cheers J

Hi James,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.portfolio-holder .product-box .info h3 {
    font-size: 16px !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

It worked, thank you :)

Glad to hear that :)

Hello Kalium,

The image carousel is degrading the resolution of my images. Please see link: http://heavylightexperience.com/website/portfolio/hl-_1_lego/

At the top is a Revolution slider, which displays the images perfectly. When I click on one of the image tiles/thumbnails below, in the popup carousel, the image resolution is noticeably degraded.

Need to correct this ASAP. Please advise, Efrat

Hi Efrat

After checking your site I saw that images are being display in nice resolution, they are being resized by wordpress so Idon’t know what is wrong there, here I made a screenshot:

http://drops.laborator.co/18MyC

I took as an example these two photos:

Original:

http://heavylightexperience.com/website/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/HL-1_lego_m2.jpg

Resized:

http://heavylightexperience.com/website/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/HL-1_lego_m2-588x377.jpg

The difference is that only size has been changed, they are the same.

Hi guys,

Thanks for an awesome theme!

Question: Is there a way to keep the menu static? I would like to have both the portfolio menu as it is right now, and the main menu visible. I noticed on another site I own, that people tend to not click on the side menu, so I prefer having it shown directly on the homepage. Thanks!

Hi there,

Can you please send us your site URL first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution

Hello,

I’m having small issues with this theme.

I would like to remove the social networks logos from my portfolio. I have attached the link below. http://ac9.a28.myftpupload.com/portfolio/stella-artois/

Thanks

Taran

Hi Taran

I see that you are showing these social networks via plugin, so you can remove them with this custom CSS:

.project-description .post-formatting .addthis_toolbox {
    display: none !important;
}

This should work for you.


Arlind

Hi, on the blog can the error message for the comments be ajax rather than taking the user to a blank ‘wp-comments-post.php’.

It will make a better user experience

Hi qamarramzan,

This is Wordpress default feature, there maybe can be any plugin that can do that for you.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli
