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?

Hi

The problem would be cropping images which will cause misalignment in the grid, you can change to retrieve original image by just adding this line of code:

$portfolio_image_size = 'original';

Put this line in the same file I gave you on line 159.

I hope this works for you.

Best regards

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!

Once I added it to the page with visual encoder it worked. Then I was able to mess with the padding/margins via advice from the forum. thank you. www.karenbrummund.com

Hi kmmb,

So your problem is solved now?

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!

Hi there,

Just make sure you’ve set a date in 2016 for example just to see if it works, usually it does.

Kind Regards,

Great theme! Is it possible to add captions in the lightbox?

Hi there,

Currently not, we have added this in the to-do list for the upcoming updates and it will be added soon, thank you for your suggestion.

Kind Regards,
Art

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=architecture

Is it possible to get single images to be all the way to left with agency demo and if possible, how?

Thanks!

Figured it out, thanks anyway!

Hi there,

Glad to hear that the problem is solved now :)

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,

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 woodandmood,

Glad to hear that, and thank you for the info :)

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 there,

I doubt that is not possible, if you want to add padding just for a single image in the gallery that’s not possible cause the whole gallery is built within a list.

Kind 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

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;
}

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 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

Kind Regards,
Art

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/1iADwKbO

Or are there any other way to do this other than using the rev slider, which i’d like to avoid.

Thanks!

Mathias

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; }

Hi Mathias,

Glad to hear you managed to fix it, and thank you for sharing the fix with us so other user might find this helpful.

Hey there, I’m just wondering what the two fonts used on the agency demo are? Thanks

Hi there,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.single-blog-holder .blog-head-holder img {
     width: auto !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

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

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!

Hi andresjarel,

Thank you very much, you are reasonable person :)

“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:

1. Download this file

2. Replace it in tpls/ folder.

See if it works for you.

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
