More than 6x portfolio items on home page? I can’t figure it out!

Hi tigerdeer,

When you click Build Query the option will appear, this image will help you to understand the procedure.

Can I link a portfolio tile to a Page rather than a Portfolio Item?

Hi

To link portfolio item with a page/url, in Project Link add your url and choose Item Linking as “Redirect to Link URL”, like shown here:

Arlind

Hi, sorry, I wasn’t clear. What I want to do is have one of my Portfolio project tiles link through to a Page rather than a template Portfolio Item. This is because I can not make the portfolio templates work nicely with one project and need more design flexibility. I need to design it with visual composer on a Page then link to that page form a portfolio tile.

Hi there,

Unfortunately that is not possible, you can only link it below like Arlind said in the project link.

Art

How can I use Visual Composer in a Portfolio item?

Hi

Visual Composer can be used, but its not recommended, because there are plenty of portfolio types with custom width so it can have any issue, so try and if it works its ok, otherwise we didn’t support VC in portfolio item.

Hello

Is there a way to show menu icon in black on all pages and use menu 3 (dropdown from top) with white background and black text/ links?

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

Can you please write us your site URL here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Peter

Yes this it possible but it requires code customization, so here is sample code you must add in functions.php in order to apply this:

// Custom menu type on specific page    
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'custom_menu_type_on_page' );

function custom_menu_type_on_page() {

    $page_id = 123;

    if ( get_the_id() == $page_id ) {
        add_filter( 'get_data_main_menu_type', create_function( '', 'return "top-menu";' ) );
    }
}

Then replace that $page_id = 123; with your page ID, for example when you edit a page on wordpress you can get the ID of that page from the URL:

http://drops.laborator.co/17GOj

This should work for you.

Best regards

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out. When people visit my site on an iPad or other tablets the photos appear blurry and pixellated while in vertical mode. I figured it was because the thumbnails are being zoomed in or enlarged so I tried to alter the layout so it shows 2 columns on the tablet layout but I can’t figure it out.

My question is:

1. Can you help me fix the blurry images 2. if not, can you tell me how to make the front page of my site (tablet version) show 2 images next to each other instead of 1 per row.

the url: http://gathinteriordesign.com

Thanks, Justin

Hi Justin,

The images are cropped for small screens such as smartphones and tablets, also the grid is the same like in smartphones and tablet (portrait mode) and we cannot do anything about it because it’s how the grid was built, to do that you will need to edit the core files of the theme and in every update you would have a problem with it.

I made som adjustments in my autotype for the frontpage in the responsive section. Then I it disappeared from the “rows” in on the page in wordpress. Then I erased it, then I made a new autotype. But it doesn’t look like before. All the cosmetics I made for it is gone? fx. a different color background of the typing letters. Can you please help?

Hi nicolai1992

In order to add autotype element you must not include HTML markup on it, see these examples:

wrong:
*Hello <span class="my-custom-class">world</span>;How are <span>you</span>*

right:
Hello <span class="my-custom-class">*world;people;you*</span>

This way it will work, otherwise it is not supported to include markup in auto type animation.

i have tried contacting my host (godaddy) dont no support maybe bcos i am in Africa, can anyone show or write me the manual way of resolving this issue. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/taipath/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2259. how to i increase my php limit. I am a novice. how do i access php

Hi taipath,

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 theme, I’m setting up my new website now :). I want to use the instagram widget in the footer, but the widget isn’t shown in appereance – widgets. So I can’t drag the widget into my ‘footer widgets area’.

Hi there,

So please install and activate widget first, then just put the widget on the Footer Widgets and fill the required fields.

Hi, How do I change font to “Microsoft JhengHei” which is one of the Chinese font?

Thanks a lot.

Hi ernieshine,

We support Google Fonts and Typekit fonts.

Google font has more than 600+ fonts that you can choose from our Theme Options.

I think that Noto font supports very well Chinese Language.

Or if you want you can paste this code to your Custom CSS:

body, table, p, div, span, form, input, textarea, select, pre, button, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, * {
    font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei", "?????", "Microsoft YaHei", ?????, Verdana, Lucida Grande, Sans-serif !important;
}

Hello,

First, congratulation for this theme: It’s perfect ! I really hope you’ll keep on updating and improving it for a long time!

My question is about the shop page, the only problem I have is that the products are not showing in the case of a vertical Ipad.. thumbnails seems to be hidden in some ways…

Here is the link for the page: http://galeriejahidi.com/language/fr/shop/

Thanks in advance!

Hi gjahidi,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media screen and (max-width: 991px) {
    .shop-container.sidebar-is-present .pull-right-md {
        float: none !important;
    }
}
  • now i saw that this bug exist on our demo page too, we will fix this on the next Kalium update, so when you install the next update just remove this code from your Custom CSS

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Dear author of Kalium,

Hi, I think I am using wordpress.com. and I can’t download the zip. file(kalium.zip) in wordpress admin area. Isn’t it possible to download the theme, when I am using wordpress.com???

Best, Da

Hi there,

How do you mean to download the theme? You can download the theme from the Downloads section here on ThemeForest and you can then upload it in Appearance > Themes.

Hi,

I’m having trouble with my home page. I would like it to populate more than 6 images, similar to the portfolio page. I’m wondering if its possible to make the home page populate more than 6, or if I just need to change the home page to the Portfolio page (which I would rather not do)

Thanks

Nevermind! I figured it out :)

Glad to hear that :)

Hi there sir,

Trying to install it as a theme by uploading .zip file and getting this message..

Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again.

Please advise

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.

Hi,

Thanks for a really nice and impressive theme! I have two questions:

1. I can’t seem to figure out a way to avoid that Vimeo videos automatically loop. How can I turn that off? Or even better – how can I choose when to leave it on and when to turn it off?

2. My website is pretty much one long portfolio-page masonry style with pagination set to endless scroll + auto reveal. Is there a way to load in all the items straight away, rather than having to scroll to the bottom and wait for the next page of portfolio items to load?

Thanks!

Best regards, Finn Christian.

Hi Finn,

1. Can you be more specific, which part of the theme are you referring to? The slider? The blog?

2. Go to Laborator > Theme Options > Portfolio Settings and see which type of portfolio you’re using, in the proper type there is a field Portfolio items per page for this type where you will need to type -1 value to display all the posts.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, let me be more specific:

1. I’m referring to Portfolio > Portfolio Items > Portfolio Gallery where I choose “Vimeo Video” and enter the video URL. These videos always loop. The Portfolio Item Types I have used are “Side Portfolio” and “Columned”.

2. I did actually have this set to -1. The problem is just that I still have to scroll to the bottom of the page (past the first 10 items) and then wait for the next 10 portfolio items to load. Is there a way to avoid that interruption and just have all the portfolio items load immediately? So that scrolling down will be seemless? (this isn’t a big issue and there might be good reasons not to load everything, just wondering if there’s a quick fix)

Here’s a link to my page: finnchristian.no

Thanks!

I am not able to install this theme. Using GoDaddy. Never have had trouble installing theme before. Get message: The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

If I continue to have issues, will have to return product.

Thank you,

Kirsten Livingston

Hi Kirsten,

You will need to contact your hosting company and ask them to increase your PHP limits in the server, take some time to read this article.
