Is there a way I could disable the clicking of images (which opens into a lightbox) in the portfolio page?

Hi ignatiusong,

Just go to Laborator > Theme Options > Portfolio Settings and tick “Disable lightbox for portfolio items” :)

Hi,

I already installed your theme – it’s very nice!

Now I need to implement a second language. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thank you

Hi there,

Adding a second language isn’t that hard, you will need to get a translation plugin first, WPML is the official supported plugin by us but it’s a premium plugin.

Hi, is it possible to hide the “Share” section?

Hi ignatiusong

Actually this option is not implemented however you can do with custom css:

.portfolio .social {
    display: none !important;
}

It will hide the share section.


Arlind

Thanks! Got it hidden! :)

Glad to hear that :)

If you like Kalium, it would help us a lot if you could rate our item on themeforest from your Downloads tab, ( if you don’t know how, just open this link ). Thank you!!

Hello There.

I’d like to report that there’s a problem with your Kalium Theme (1.7.2) in Firefox (41.0.1) when displaying Items in a Grid.

The allignment is messy. Here’s a Screenshot from Firefox:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/78tz4sw11sw0l1r/Firefox_OSX.png

And here’s the same page displayed in Safari 9, where everything is looking fine:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/est7tcl3ltybjsv/Safari.png

Here’s the Link to the Portfolio Site for testing:

http://stansteez.com/sounddesign/portfolio/motion/

Is there an easy way to fix this on my end or is it a theme-related issue?

Kind regards, Thorsten Klasen

Hi klasus

It is weird how that happens, the theme has nothing to do with this plugin, we just prefer WP Super Cache, its in our “supported plugins” list for this theme.

I can handle this for you.

Can you please send me the WP Credentials (username and password) + FTP credentials so I will examine your issue and try to find where is the problem and the fix for it.

Please do not forget to include details of issue you are encountering, because we receive a lot of emails and I cannot remember each of them.

You can send your info via email using the contact form in our profile page by clicking this link. 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.


Arlind

Thank you, but I fixed it myself. I only had to go into Preferences > Permalinks > User defiend and hit ‘apply’ and then it worked again.

The initial allignement problem is fixed as well. I just added the 2 lines of Custom CSS Code and everything is back to normal. Thanks for that tip!

I am now using WP Super Cache.

Hi klasus,

Glad to hear that the problem is solved :)

Hi. I’d like to use my own webfont (a font that is not included at Google fonts, etc.) for headings. I put the direct link to the .woff file (I also tried it with otf) in the “Heading font URL” section, and put the Heading font name in just as described. It didn’t work. I also tried to put this in the custom CSS @font-face { font-family: 'Font Name'; src: url('http://url.com/wp-content/themes/kalium-child/Font-Name.woff') format('woff'); } I’m using the child-theme and have my own font in this directory. The link to the file is correct.

Hi raoul_k,

Hmm, please check if you have missed any bracket { } on your custom CSS on the earlier CSS codes.

Also the ” Poiret One ” font is included on our thee by default, why you need to put that from Custrom CSS?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

As I described in an earlier comment, I’m just using this google font for testing. I’m not going to use this one in my final design. I’m also using the exact same code, I doube-checked for missing brackets, etc. Where is the code that I put in the WP admin custom css area located in the area? Shouldn’t it be in the style.css in the child-theme? It isn’t. Thanks a lot!

Hi raoul_k,

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.

How can I link a portfolio item tile to a page when I click the tile, vs going into the portfolio item? In other words, I’d like to create Page for a project, and have a tile that links to it. Thanks.

Hi there,

1. You cannot link your portfolio item to a page, you can only link it via the “Project” button which is inside the portfolio item.

2. Please explore a bit the theme, the Custom Fields are the built in functions of theme for the portfolio.

3. Select just the image and align it to the center.

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

1. OK

2. OK, I’m not sure what they do or how to use them. Any pointers, tutorials, articles I can look at?

3. That doesn’t work for me. The image always aligns with the text. To be clear, this is an image I’m inserting into the main text box of a portfolio item. I have tried using the align center button on the text box tool bar and setting the image properties to align center. I can see the img class=”aligncenter in the Text view. In the Visual view the image does appear centers, but it displays with the body text alignment when Previewed / Updated.

PS. Sure, I thought it easier for other users to search if I posted discreet questions separately. Are you guys considering setting up a proper knowledge database style forum? It would save everyone a bunch of time. Searching this comments thread is kind of terrible.

Hi there,

2. We don’t have any tutorials on how to use the Custom Fields but they are described there on how to use the elements separately.

3. Hmmm, if you’re entering the image via the editor then it won’t work fine because of the page style formatting, the images are meant to be added only from the custom fields below and not in the text area, if you can post your site URL I would try to find a custom code that would fix this.

Regarding the knowledgebase, it would have been much easier for us too but we are waiting for Envato as they promised to release a knowledgebase system but it is being delayed for a long time.

Hello. I am unable to install the Kalium theme. I downloaded the package, unzipped it, uploaded the Kalium.zip to Wordpress and after a while Wordpress says: “Wordpress Failure Notice: Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” And does nothing :/

Hi there,

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 :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

But i dont understand. My PHP configuration says: max_execution_time 300, memory_limit 512M, post_max_size 64M, upload_max_filesize 64M. Also the .zip file i am trying to upload is 36,6MB.

Hi there,

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.

Hello. Is it possible to have a single page of the blog sidebar ?

Hi there,

Unfortunately this is not possible now, we are looking forward to add this as a feature.

hello! How can i remove my logo just on mobile devices?

Hi there,

Go to Custom CSS > Responsive > Extra Small paste this code:
.header-logo.logo-image .switched-logo img {
display: none !important;
}

Kind Regards,

Hello !

I know it may sounds like a silly question but I need to be sure before buying : if I buy your theme, will I have a portfolio + a blog + a shopping page all of them hosted in the same domain ?

Was wondering because when I went to your blog pages I couldn’t find any links to a potential shop or portfolio. (I know it’s just a presentation but, again, I need to be sure)

Thanks in advance !

Estelle.

Hi Estelle,

Yep, all are part of our theme :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi! I’ve just purchased your theme today and the huge variety of options is kind of intimidating. I’ve been fooling around with the theme for a few hours but I can’t seem to get it to do what I’d like it to. Would you be able to assist? Let me know at your earliest convenience.

Best, Max

Hi Max,

If you have difficulties with the theme, you can read our Kalium Documentation site, there are some of the most common questions also you can learn how to setup your theme and other things.

If you have another question that is not there, just tell us how can we help you please :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Ylli! Thanks for the prompt reply.

After a bit of messing around with the theme I’ve realized it’s not nearly as complicated as it looks, and very intuitive. But I’ll be sure to come back with more specific concerns should they arise.

Hi MHFoley,

Glad to hear that mate :)

Revolution slider – bigger text on mobile.

Hi Kalium,

I’d like to have the text bigger on the mobile version of the full screen slider. Is this possible? As it is, it’s barely legible.

I player around with the slider setting but don’t understand them enough. Is it possible to fix the text size for, say, iPhone via custom CSS please?

Many thanks

Hi Florian,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
     .tp-caption.videodesc, .videodesc {
         font-size: 40px !important;
     }
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Sweet – that did it.

Thanks a million Ylli. Keep up the great work!

Florian

Hi Florian,

Glad to hear that it worked :)

It would help us a lot if you could rate Kalium on themeforest from your Downloads tab, ( if you don’t know how, just open this link ). Thank you!

The images on my portfolio page (home page) and every portfolio project page are not loading. They work when I click on a photo. Or in the case of the home page, when I click ‘load more.’ Thoughts?

www.salitkrac.com

Hi nsookias

I have found the issue and the fix for it, here is what you have to do:

1. Download this file http://drops.laborator.co/1aRVE+

2. Replace it in:

/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/js/

Then make sure you refresh the site, because the Javascript may be in cache and couldn’t not change. It worked for me.

Best regards


Arlind

Hi there, thanks it works now on Firefox and Safari, not on Chrome. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Just make sure you do a hard-refresh because the Chrome cache can be really annoying sometimes, I checked your site and first it didn’t work then after refreshing the page many times I got positive results.

Hi, i but your Kallium theme I dont understand on my homepage how to remove your white logo kallium appear after 2 seconds (My logo just appear the first 2 seconds)

Thank you for help me. Fred

Hi Fred,

That logo it’s on Revolution Slider, by watching this video, you can learn how to remove that. (video is made with the last version of RS, but i think that you will not have problem to find that place on the new layout) :)

Hi,

When i use “Use video background” in VC’s Row settings http://drops.skarp.dk/1luin/1ZZlAmZT , the video will ONLY show if the “Row stretch” is set to “Default”. I like to use “Stretch row” so this means i can’t use full-width backgrounds. This bug is affecting images as well.

I have tested it with an older version (1.6) and it works fine, so i think this is a bug in a recent update?

Kalium version: 1.7.2 VC version: 4.7.4

Also…

It seems like the fix has messed up the masonry portfolio. It does no longer show thumbnails. I can still hover the items though, but not click on them.

See link http://drops.skarp.dk/11nmi/6uhGSEnW

I had to switch back to the original vc_row.php file because the “fix” file broke too much stuff, and didn’t fix the issue.. Any suggestions for another fix with the background issues?

Hi MeatyTBlegs

Sorry about the issues you have encountered, I wasn’t aware about that, so here is another fix:

vc_row.php download here – http://drops.laborator.co/16qzA+

Replace it in vc_templates directory as you did before.

Then download kalium.css – http://drops.laborator.co/13lmd+

And replace it in assets/css/ directory.

Remember to save a backup of current files in case of these doesn’t work.

Best regards


Arlind

Hi,

i would like to add arrows to my items portfolio pages (previous / next projects links) http://paulabianco.net/architecte-dplg/cabinet-medical-ozouer-le-voulgis/ to look as your other tempate: http://themes.laborator.co/calcium/portfolio/goodforks/

Kind regards, Raphaël

Hi Raphaël,

That is not possible with Kalium theme for the moment.

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,
—Ylli

ok thank you ;)

Glad to hear that :)

solved – thanks

Hi simonquasar,

Hmm this is very strange, this is the first time that we are encountering this warning.

Please check if you have Minimum PHP Configuration Limits, or if you need to upgrade your PHP version.

When you do this, if you have any other problem, just write us again :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

thanks for the VERY FAST reply! – in fact it was my fault, the ftp did not upload all the files…

Hi simonquasar,

Glad to hear that the problem is solved now!

It would help us a lot if you could rate our Kalium themeforest from your Downloads tab, ( if you don’t know how, just open this link ) :)

P.S: It’s not that nice to edit comment, because someone may have the same problem and when they see your comment they can fix it without writing the same ticket again.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

I posted my question before but did not get any response.

I do not know what’s going wrong in my setting.

My problem is the first page of the product pages are not showing. Products will show from page 2. http://merrilyprom.com/?product_cat=prom

To show my all products. I have to create 12 empty products for the first page (which is not showing up) Please help to check the problem.

Thanks

Hi Ylli,

I would like to know if you have found the fix or not.

Thanks Michael

Hi Ylli,

I found the problem.

I think the theme has some conflicts with the plugin “Jetpack by WordPress.com”. After i disabled this theme, the hidden products came out.

I tested other themes with “Jeptack by WordPress.com activated”. They are working fine without any hidden products.

Hope you can fix it in the next update.

Best regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

Glad to hear you managed to fix it, we are aware of it and we will try to keep the bugs away :)

Kind Regards,

Buenos días,

He estado intentado instalar vuestra plantilla web. El problema que se me genera es que cuando instalo “INSTALL CONTECT PACK” no se me generan las diferentes paginas de la web… qué debo hacer para que se me generen y tener bien instalado todo el contact pack?

Hi AM_MAROTO,

I don’t think that i can fully understand your question, but if you want to install Demo Content, you can find more info on this video.

If you need further documentation you can read Kalium Documentation.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

I do it fine, but I would like to know… If I want to create the differentes Pages of my website, there are any templates to use for Home, Works…? Or I need to create it?

Hi there,

The built-up pages are only available if you import the demo content, otherwise there is no page to import individually.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi there, a pre-purchase question. I’m interested to buy this amazing theme, but I need to have an aswer to this questions:

1. When the page is scrolled, is there a possibility to have the main menu always in the top position? I’ve seen all your demos but I haven’t found this option.

2. In this demo: http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/ is it possible to have the menu always opened?

Thank you!

Hi skop81 ,

1— That is possible, it will look like this :)

2— Yep, you can do that with just a click from them Theme Options :)

It will look like on this demo http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main-dark/

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Wow! Very thank you for your quick reply! Very good, I think that I’ll buy this theme very soon.

Best regards. Simone.

Glad to hear that Simone :)
