Hi Kalium Team,
Thanks for your timely replies to all support comments I’ve left so far. One more question: I’m struggling with image quality in the portfolio pages. The image is uploaded at a decent quality for retina, 2000px wide. I have it displaying as a full width portfolio image, and the portfolio page is using an 1140px version of the image, which looks fuzzy and compressed. When I click it to open it in the lightbox, it looks great again. Is there any way to force the portfolio to use a higher-quality version of the image? See http://allisonusavage.com/portfolio/emmys-organics/ (the top image especially) as the example.
Best, Allison
Hi Allison
Yes you are right, we have forced this in that way however I see now that this doesn’t look good. Here is the quickfix for you:
Open this file: wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/portfolio-loop-item-type-2.php
On line 66 change the value 1170 to your preferred value.
In the next update of Kalium we are going to fix this, so also save this code:
add_filter( 'kalium_portfolio_image_max_box_size', create_function( '', 'return "1170";' ) );
When you install the new update, it will replace these files, so just apply that line of code in functions.php and it will have the same impact. Of course replace that 1170 to your preferred value.
Hi Arlind, thanks for your help. I added this in but I realized the issue isn’t with the sizing of the image, it’s with which version of the image it’s pulling (the compressed version that wordpress created). Even when the grid value is 1170, if I use Inspector to change the source image to the original (/uploads/2015/10/cereal-bowls-2.jpg instead of /uploads/2015/10/cereal-bowls-2-1240×420.jpg) the quality issue is fixed. Is there a way to force it to read the original?
I am building a new site and have not installed any demo content yet. I would like to replicate the homepage on your main demo, but cannot make it work. I have already created a number of portfolio and post items. I’ve been working based on help docs, but cannot get my slider or page to be like this http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/ Is the best option to load all of the main demo content? I’m concerned that it will overwrite my work. thanks!
Art, Thank you for your reply. I did that, but I am having trouble putting it into the page. It isn’t working as a background for the header and still shows the page title. Also, I don’t know how to put the portfolio page underneath.

Hi I’ve just installed the theme and trying to get the Coming Soon page up as the main page. I’ve updated the page and set to Enable but it’s still showing the home page. What am I missing?? Thanks!
Great theme! Is it possible to add captions in the lightbox?
I installed theme and demo content, this is an new them installation on an existing eCommerce website.
Problem is, no Products are showing up on home page and product pages. http://isabellebatz.com/the coming soon mode was not activated but i deleted the plugin anyway, no change. How do i make sure the Shop page is assigned to any page. where is that setting?
Thank you for the fast response
on the homepage that is a text box stating the under construction.
Hi Aaron,
Have you disabled all the third party plugins that didn’t come with the theme, try disabling all of them and then get back in the homepage and refresh your site, if this doesn’t work then e-mail us your login credentials.

Hi,
I am using Agency Demo content and would like to have my services page look like the Architecture Studio demo
http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium;skin=architectureIs it possible to get single images to be all the way to left with agency demo and if possible, how?
Thanks!
Hi
Yes you can have that, here is the shortcode of Studio page of the architecture:
http://pastebin.com/fhsU6nY3Copy and paste to new page, then edit the images and content.
Hi,
thanks for the reply. Paste where exactly?
Hi Jocce_Little
Copy that shortcode, create new page, click on “Classic editor” and paste the code to WordPress content editor (classic mode) so it will add the shortcodes that Visual Composer understands. Then you can switch back to Backend Editor to see these shortcodes in visual structure.
Okay great, that worked, almost.
It worked fine on desktop but on smaller screens there are elements going behind the footer.
Thanks
Sure, http://hagerstrom.fi/wordpress/services/
Thank you Ylli
Figured it out, thanks anyway!
Hi, I’m posting from my customer’s account I purchased wpml, it works great, but I’m stuck with… ...This page (or any portfolio page) http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/masonry-v2/ I can’t find a way to change “All” to something else and, of course, I can’t translate it to any other language. I can’t figure out where to look at. Can you help me? Thanks in advance
Hi there,
Unfortunately this word is not translatable with WPML, I will translate it to any other word manually just give me your login credentials via e-mail.

Hi woodandmood
This word is contained within Kalium textdomain so it should be translated when you search kalium theme text domain in String Translation option of WPML, here you will see the textdomain assigned to this word:
http://drops.laborator.co/1i4KQIf you have string translation plugin, you can do this easy.
Well, this is taking me where I didn’t want: confusion! “String translation option of WPML” I understand this is part of WPML Multilingual CMS and it’s not part of WPML Multilingual BLOG. Do I get it right? I need to upgrade to the CMS version. But… then, I see the string translation option is an addon to WPML: do I need to pay that one too? This is taking me really far from the target, LOL. I really suggest you to add that Kalium is fully compatible with Multilangual CMS version of WPML, not a generic WPML compatibility. This is a problem to me, I’m really disappointed
Hi there,
Yeah you understood that right, you will need to use the CMS license of WPML in order to translate the strings, we are forcing no-one to purchase the WPML plugin, you can use another free alternative to this but it WPML is a something we recommend as much as almost all of the authors do (because it’s the best), if you want you can use the Loco Translate plugin for string translation, it is free and does the same thing.
Kind Regards,
Art
Hi there, sure, you are not forcing anyone to buy WPML, mine is just a suggestion to add the fact that Kalium needs any version of wpml, but for a complete translation the CMS version is the one a customer need. That’s all. Thanks for your time and answer, you clarified the problem very well.
Hi Laborator Team,
We are with a new issue in our site and we need your help. On page: http://bfj.pt/wp/publicacoes/ we created an image gallery but we are not able to configure padding distance between the images, the only padding possibility we find works in the entire image gallery and not specifically on isolated images!
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks for your help!
Best Regards
Hi guys,
1 How do I change the color / text size / text color / background of the submenu (under portfolio) url http://arte-d-ardito.nl/wordpress/nieuws/
2 Can I change the font of just the portfolio items title or make them less bold?
3 Can I make the logo link to another page than the homepage?
4 Would it be possible to make individual photo’s sharable via Instagram / Pinterest?
5 is it possible to make the single-blog-post page the same as the single-portfolio page?
6 There’s a white space underneath the slider on the homepage url http://arte-d-ardito.nl/wordpress/ Can this go away and make the homepage ‘unscrollable’?
7 How do I make the lines around the blog-posts on the news page go away or adjust the thickness?
Thanks again!
Regards,
Koen
Hi again,
Don’t worry about 2 / 5 / 7. Fixed them already. I’m trying endlessly to work out the CSS, if you could help me out the rest of them that would be awesome. Forgot to thank you for solving the featured image problem. THANKS!!
Regards, Koen
I have another question though.. 8 Is it possible to make the single-portfolio navigation a bit clearer by splitting the arrows? (previous on the left side halfway the page / next on the right side halfway the page)
Thanks again,
Koen
Fixed 3 as well..
Hi there,
I have almost fixed 1 as well.. Just one question: Is it possible to make the drop down (sub-menu) align horizontally, so the links next to each other? If not, can you help me making the line-height a little bit smaller? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Koen
Hi KRADDIT,
1— I’m sorry but that is possible, to make them closer to each other, can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul ul li+li, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu ul li+li {
margin-top: 5px !important;
}
2— Done by you.
3— Done by you.
4— That is not possible.
5— Done by you.
6— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.has-fixed-footer .wrapper {
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
}
7—Done by you.
8— That is not possible, you can make them to appear on the center or you can use the 2nd layout, you can find them on Theme Options > Portfolio Settings.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Thanks Ylli!
We think it’s a little bit confusing, when we put the arrows in the center it looks like you’re navigating between the photo’s instead of the projects. Would it be possible to give me the CSS classes to influence the position of the arrows, so I can try it myself?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Koen
And (sorry to keep bothering you, I’m trying hard to work it out myself)
Would it be possible to have the portfolio titles centered vertically (masonry with titles inside) on smartphones? So keep them on top on desktop en have them centered on smartphones?
And how can I adjust the opacity on hover of the portfolio items. I would like to give it a little bit more transparency.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Koen
Hi Koen, it’s ok.
1. You can do that from the Theme Options > Portfolio Settings.
- when you do this write us here and maybe we can help you to make it bottom-left on PC.
2. Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.portfolio-holder .thumb:hover .hover-state {
filter: alpha(opacity=75) !important;
-webkit-opacity: .75 !important;
-moz-opacity: .75 !important;
opacity: .75 !important;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Thanks Ylli,
I keep trying to display the sub-menu underneath ‘portfolio’ horizontally (inline). The reason is that if you scroll down, we would like to keep the submenu items in the white border..
Could you give me the classes I’ll have to change to try and work it out?
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Koen
Hi Koen,
Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul>li>ul li, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu>li>ul li {
display: inline !important;
padding-right: 10px !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul ul, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu ul {
min-width: 230px !important;
}
P.S: We don’t recommend you this change, because it may create problems on the future.
Kind Regards,
Art
Thanks a million!!! Now, when you scroll down, it gets a black background and the margin and font-size increases. How do I get it to always stay the same? Sorry for being such a pain..
Cheers
When you scroll down and then hover portfolio, the drop down menu has a black background, the font size is bigger and the line height is higher. Here’s the screenshot:
http://arte-d-ardito.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Schermafbeelding-2015-10-28-om-15.04.08.pngHi KRADDIT,
The dropdown is black always, and not only in that case. I don’t see any difference on font size or line height too.
If you want to change font size, line height, or background use this code:
.main-header .full-screen-menu, .main-header a {
font-size: 30px !important;
line-height: 50px !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark div.menu>ul ul, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark ul.menu ul {
background: red !important;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hi Ylli,
In my browsers the background of the drop down is transparent and the font size is smaller initially.. When you start scrolling down (and the sticky menu starts being active) the background turns black and the font size changes.
I think I have to make the CSS the same for above mentioned classes and the classes after the sticky menu starts being active, isn’t it?
Kind regards,
Koen
Hi Ylli,
Indeed in Google Chrome it doesn’t work at all! That’s my second question
How do I get it to work in Chrome?
But first, here’s the screenshots in Safari:
Without black background (when you haven’t scrolled) http://arte-d-ardito.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Schermafbeelding-2015-11-02-om-10.17.21.png With black background and font color white (when you scroll down) http://arte-d-ardito.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Schermafbeelding-2015-11-02-om-10.17.29.pngCheers
Please check http://arte-d-ardito.nl/nieuws/ for example
The links are working again.
Now my subtitles don’t underline anymore when I’m hovering them
Kind Regards,
Koen
Hi Koen,
I’m really not understanding where your problem is, i tested it with Chrome and Safari, and everything is looking good
Can you please make a video of your problem there and then send us the link of that video?
2— They are not supposed to underline, you can check that on our demo too.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
The idea is that the subtitles remain the same (color / transparent background / margin) so they stay in the white of the sticky menu (that is why we wanted them aligned horizontal)
Koen
Hi Koen,
Now i found the solution for this, thanks for the video, it helped me a lot 
Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark div.menu>ul ul, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark ul.menu ul {
background: transparent !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark div.menu>ul ul li a, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-dark ul.menu ul li a {
color: #000 !important;
font-size: 14px !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container div.menu>ul ul, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container ul.menu ul {
margin-top: -3px !important;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hello, Further to the installation of your theme, I also installed the demo Architecture (http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium;skin=architecture). However, several problems : – The slider in homepage does not appear – the icon menu seems clickable but activates absolutely nothing in spite of my parametrized menu (Main menu). Thank you in advance for your answer. Aurore
Hi Aurore,
Hope that you are well 
We saw that you have rated our theme Kalium with 4 stars, and there was not any reason why you think that our theme deserves low rating.
Can you please tell us what problem do you have with our theme? As you see we are continuously updating Kalium with new features, updates, compatibility issues with other plugins and other things even that it has been time that we created this theme.
When any client rates us with low stars we think that it will not contribute so much on our product improvement.
We kindly ask you if you can increase your rating on our theme.
If not, at least tell us what we need to improve to make our product more sophisticated to meet your needs.
Hope that you will reply us soon 
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Feature request
Is it possible for you to expand your feature for background video on a row to also support self-hosted video’s and not only youtube video’s?
http://drops.skarp.dk/Oorv/1iADwKbOOr are there any other way to do this other than using the rev slider, which i’d like to avoid.
Thanks!
Mathias
And another request here:
Is it possible to change menu color when using the Sticky Menu?
In my case i need the menu items to be white by default, and turn black when i scroll due to the white background i apply on scroll.
See link: http://drops.skarp.dk/1lKgR/3JawBOHB
Hi Mathias
This feature is developed by third party plugin (Visual Composer) and its up to them to support this. I guess they will implement that in the near future.
Currently there are no other ways for that. You may ask in Visual Composer forum if they will support a feature like that.
The second feature is already supported and added in v1.7 of Kalium, each page has “Page Options > Logo & Menu” there you can change the skin of sticky menu:
http://drops.laborator.co/1i75JI hope this will work for you.
Hi Arlind,
I think you misunderstood my question.
If you look at my droplr link (http://drops.skarp.dk/1lKgR/3JawBOHB), i need to be able to change the color on scroll from white to black.
Hi there,
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light div.menu>ul>li>a, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light ul.menu>li>a {
color: #000 !important;
}
.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light div.menu>ul>li>a:after, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light ul.menu>li>a:after {
background-color: #000 !important;
}
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
This still doesn’t answer my question, nor fix the issue i have.
I will try to explain it again again:
1) When i load the page—the link items should be >white<
2) When i scroll the page, and the sticky menu take effect—the link items should turn >black<
Please let me know if you don’t understand what i mean by this.
Best regards, Mathias
Never mind, i fixed it
For other people who are having the same request, the solution is this:
.main-header.is-sticky.sticky-active a { color: #000 !important; }
.main-header.is-sticky.sticky-active a:after { background-color: #000 !important; }
Hey there, I’m just wondering what the two fonts used on the agency demo are? Thanks
Thanks. Another thing I’m having trouble working out is how to stop the blog showing imagery scaled to browser width. A lot of imagery is looking quite pixelated for me. And Q#2: Where can one input a Google analytics tracker? Thanks again
Hi thomasemmet,
Glad to hear that 
1— Can you please write us that exact URL where that blog post is here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have any possible solution.
2— You can put Google Analytics code on the Theme Options > Footer > Custom Javascript.
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
thomasemmet.com thanks
Hi, that seems to have solved the size issue however there is now an issue where is puts a huge amount of space underneath the image. Also its not allowing me to dictate alignment of the image. Thanks

Hello, we have set the theme but after activate and download/install the required plugins, we aren’t able to activate “Coming Soon Mode” or “Mantence Mode” ..and its look easy but.. Why? We have sent the access data in a private mail. Thank you
Here you are: www.andresjarel.es
ok, thanks
..you really provides a very fast support! Perfect!
Hi andresjarel,
Hope that you are well 
We saw that you have rated us with 4 stars. We just wanted to ask you if you have any problem with our theme, or if you have any questions please feel free to tell us, we will try our best to give you a solution to your problems/question relating to our theme.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Have a nice day!
—Ylli
I’m a perfectionist and I think you can always improve things, so very rarely give five stars. You have done a very good job guys! 
Hi andresjarel,
I understand that you are perfectionist, but i think that is better to tell us what you wish to improve on our theme or what features you would love to see there, as you have seen we are working hard on Kalium theme and we are releasing updates with new features, fixes and other things very often, also we are trying to give best customer support on Themeforest.
I think that the 4 star rating doesn’t motivate us more to do great things with our themes, so we ask you kindly, can you please improve your rating? We are sure that you will be amazed with upcoming updates that we have planned.
Have a nice day and hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers!
—Ylli
Ok, you get it!
“Right now, Kalium is one of the themes with highest quality themes I’ve used with Wordpress. A lot of features, code is clean, can be easily extended and customized, and the support is good too, and fortunately the theme is so well made that I needed it only once. Many Wordpress themes, even commercial ones, are really a nightmare from a programmer point of view. Kalium (finally!) breaks this rule!”
Kalium received a 5 star rating from mbrancaleoni for Customizability.
Are you using Kalium too? Don’t forget to rate it!.
Hello, I am having some troubles with the Portfolio Items build query, I’m trying to restrict the portfolio items to just one portfolio category however when I add this to the query it doesnt work and just shows the full portfolio. Please advise as to a solution, can provide wordpress login details if required privately. Thanks, Jessica
Hi Jessica
This issue has been reported before, and we have a suggested a fix which fortunately worked, so I will give you the same fix and see if it works for you too:
2. Replace it in tpls/ folder.
See if it works for you.
Hi There,

I put row, set parallax to simple, set full width, add image and save. Unfortunately blank section is displayed, instead of parallax background! Please you please help me with it.
Thank you in advance. Andrzej

Hi, great work with the theme.
I upload my logo in “branding>custom logo”. It appears at the begining, but later it changes and appears the Kalium Logo. What can i do?
Hi Joanpasc
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)
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
