Hello!

I have changed columns the portfolio items from 3 to 4 items and now it changes not all items. You can see it on my website: www.romanbordo.com

How I can fix it ?

Regards, Roman.

Hi Laborator, it’s me again. I have this page, a portfolio page, named “home” and it’s my homepage set in preferences. If I modify the portfolio layout type in the lavorator general settings, the modification is applayed only starting from the 2nd page and the next. The 1st page it’s always as it was set when I created the page. It’s not a cache problem (hystory deleted), it’s not a browser problem (same issue with chrome, firefox and ie) and the protfolio page I created has everything set to deafault o “inherit from the theme”. Where is the mistake? What did I set that I can’t make it to work like I want? The Elegance item has the mouse over itself and is the last item of the 1st page. As you can see that’s “Thumbnails withTitles inside”. The Hall of fame item is the 1st item of the 2nd page and has “Thumbnails with Visible Titles” as it is set in the preferences. So, what is the source of this beaviouhr? Thank in advance

Hi

We have managed to fix the issue that show different portfolio item type when using Endless Scroll pagination, it will be available in the next update v1.8 next week.

I hope this will fix this issue and many more issues, the list of fixes is long this time making the theme better than ever.

P.S. I hope that you have seen Ylli’s message here

We didn’t expected the 4 star rating from you, we have helped you many times, and now we see the 4 star rating.

We would be glad if you improve your rating again please.


Arlind

Good news here
I answered to Ylli’s message and please stop with this 5 stars begging all the time, it’s really annoying. Once the problems will be fixed, you’ll get what you deserve.

Hi woodandmood,

I read all your message, thank you very much for the “kind” words to us, we are very small team of 3 members that need to inspect problems of users and find a solution to give them proper help and manage to update all the themes. You must be more patient and wait for us to answer and solve your problem, before hurrying up with the rating.

Anyway, thank you for your rating, we take it for compliment then.

Hi -

so far I love the theme.

I have three pre-sale questions:

1. Is it possible to make the “classic menu” sticky so that it stays at the top when you scroll down?

2. Does the audio player support Soundcloud files? In other words, can I enter a Soundcloud link and have the player play the file?

3. Is it possible to turn off the overlay images which appear when you hover over pictures, e.g. in the blog previews?

Thank you and greetings 98

Hi 98plustwo,

1— For sure :)

2— Soundcloud can be enabled through Soundcloud Wordpress plugin

3— Yep, with a little CSS code.

4—That is not possible.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Cool! And thank you for the quick reply! Greetings!

Glad to hear that :)

Hi Laborator, I created a new page, named “Home”. It’s a portfolio page and I’ve set it as my homepage. I went through its settings, so my page is like I want it to be. When I click on an item, I see the details and everything works as expected. The detail page has a url like this: www.mydomain.com/portfolio/the-name-of the item Perfect! Now, I manually change the url to www.mydomain.com/portfolio The browser shows a portfolio page which I can’t seem to find in my pages/portfolio/etc.. which is a default portfolio page having the items cronologically listed (listed by date of creation of the items, A-Z). I have 2 requests: 1. I would like the theme to redirect to my current homepage when the url is ”/portfolio”. Is it possible? 2. Just for my personal information, I would like to know where to put hands to change the default portfolio page, because I have no idea of its location in wordpress. I went to the portfolio settings and: - set “Portfolio archive url” to www.mydomain.com - set “Custom portfolio item URL prefix” to ”/” I hoped it could work, but had no joy Any suggestion? Basically I want the mydomain.com/portfolio to redirect to my root or the “home” created page. Thanks for your time

Hi

1. To replace that /portfolio and redirect the url in portfolio, add this code in functions.php (in the end of file):

// Redirect /portfolio to home_url()
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'portfolio_archive_redirect' );

function portfolio_archive_redirect() {
    global $wp, $wp_query;

    $url = trim( basename( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), '/' );

    if ( $url == 'portfolio' ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}

This should work for you.

2. Portfolio settings can be set in Theme Options > Portfolio settings, there you have everything that is needed for portfolio options. Depending on portfolio type you choose to display, there will be different options applied so have that in mind.

If you have created a page with Portfolio Page template, then you have additional (options that rewrite default Theme Options settings) in that page called Portfolio Options, so there you can apply your own settings.

For your information if you change those URL prefixes you must regenerate rewrite rules by going to Settings > Permalinks.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards

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 :)


Arlind

The code you provided works very well!

I’m sorry, but the second ticket was written some hours later because it’s a completely different issue. I’ll do my best to write one multi-question post.

Hi woodandmood,

Glad to hear that :) So don’t forget this if you have any new ticket on the future.

We will respond to your email later for the other ticket.

Hey there!

Couple of quick questions:

1.) Imported the blogger demo content, but I’m still having a few issues. I’m trying to setup the homepage as the masonry style blog format. The goal is to just have my posts automatically display the second they get on the homepage. However, even though I have the post amount limited to 10, it’s displaying basically all my posts. Then…when pagination shows up it’s duplicating my posts even though they aren’t duplicated in the backend. (Showing the same post 2-3 times). I currently have the settings > reading setup like this: http://take.ms/7fuzV

Let me know how I need to set this up properly as it looks like on your very you’re using the blog page specifically. I tried that, but it looked odd.

2.) I’m also trying to add a shop to this theme. The goal is to get the drop down mini cart that you have on the shop demo. I don’t see the normal “mini cart dropdown widget”. How would I go about enabling this? (I’ve imported widgets from that demo, but I don’t see it).

3.) Any simple admin way to edit this contact form page? Very tough to see the boxes: http://take.ms/WvCYR

Just reset my “static” home page to the blog page and removed pagination (set to endless scroll with auto reveal). However it’s still duplicating all of my posts multiple times and loading about 60-70 at a time. Causing the site to crash with load times.

Hey Laborator. Sorry for blowing up your comments thread. I found the issue for problem number 1. All my posts were set to “sticky”. Removing the sticky resolved the bug with too many posts showing. However, the mini cart issue and form borders issues/feature requests still remain.

Thanks!

Hi Rygarfo,

So there are only those 2 questions unsolved, 2) and 3) right?

Can you please write us your site URL here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have possible solution.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi there, is there any way of excluding some posts from showing up on the portfolio grid without deleting them? I have tried not assigning a portfolio categories but it’s still showing. Thanks a million.

Hi Sammetto,

Just remove it’s Featured image, and they will not appear on the Portfolio.

Cheers!

Hi there,

We have a small bug regarding links on this page: http://animalove.ca/en/contact/ When clicking one of the distributor’s link it goes to : http://animalove.ca/en/contact/www.littlebearonline.com,

instead of the expected behavior: www.littlebearonline.com

Maybe you can refer us to the appropriate documentations?

Thank You!

Hi CamilleCole,

Can you do the link like this:

https://www.littlebearonline.com

so you must add *https://* and it will go to that page.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Ok it was only that… It works fine now, thank you

Hi CamilleCole,

Glad to hear that the problem is solved :)

P.S: 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 :)

Hello

I have downloaded this theme but it does not seem to upload to my Wordpress site.

Please can you provide me with a secure format to send you website details for you to have a look.

Thanks

Hi bunkercreative,

Can you please post with the account you bought the theme, this way we can verify that you’re a real customer as we do not offer support to users who doesn’t have “Purchased” badge.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Sure no problem, it was purchased under Lawrencehansford84.

Website is http://www.lawrichwebsitetests.co.uk/

Header section – the logo and header section appears to be rotating between the black logo / black font to a larger white logo and white font, how do I stop this.

Homepage – i wanted to use the home page section the same as the main template (http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium) but when i tried to install the demo content it did not work, i have added a slider but it is not displaying the same as the demo version.

How do I remove the borders – i went in to theme options and removed this but it did not change

Hi there,

Can you please write us from this user “Lawrencehansford84”.

As a said on earlier comments, we are not allowed from Envato to respond users who don’t have “Purchased” badge next to their name.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Peace,

We have uploaded the logo for http://newsite.femmagic.com/ and it keep s showing the default logo on the homepage but every other page is fine.

Hi Sabalie,

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,

Hi guys. Wonderfull theme. I just changed my provider and now the theme works like a charm. I have installed woo commerce. I have a few questions according to this.

1. In product-detail-view-mode I have the option to implement a gallery below the product image. So far so good. What I don’t want is, that the product image is also being displayed in first place when I click to see the gallery images in the lightbox. It simply doesn’t makes sense to show it again in the lightbox. The problem is you click on the image of the product which takes you to the lightbox and you get the product image AGAIN in the lightbox.

2. Where can I change the color of the arrows of the product slider and is there a possibility to make the product slider rotating endless without stopping at the end?

3. Where can I change the text: © Copyright 2015. All Rights Reserved

4. Where can I change the colors of the widget text

5. When I implement a html-hyperlink into an alert-box I can’t save it. After saving the page. The alert box is empty?

Thanks in advance. Hava a nice weekend.

Hi Arlind, I am using the MailChimp plugin Easy Forms for MailChimp by YIKES but when I activate it I can’t add images or video files to portfolio items any more. When I click on „add“, nothing happens. When I deactivate the plugin. Everything works fine. Or maybe you have another suggestion for a plugin which works well with Kalium.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Hi uepsilon

Please send us your WP credentials, I will activate the mailchimp and see what error is being produced. Don’t forget to describe the issue in the email you send with WP user/pass.

Thanks


Arlind

OK. Will send them.

Hello, I have a website with a portfolio and all the elements on it are Videos embedded from Vimeo. I will be able to do the same format website with Kalium theme? here my actual website: www.jonaguirresarobe.com Thank you, J

Hello,

My name is Pablo, I’m trying to put the “slider” put on the Architecture theme of Kalium, in “our work” menu and “Casablanca” proyect. The effect that I’m traying to obtain is the first. My question is, ¿What and How must I do to put it in my web?

Thanks for your answer and sorry for my English ;)

Hi Pablo,

1— To compare 2 images, we have used “Comparison Images”.

(view large version)

2— Can you please try to be very specific about the problem and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer :)

3— Video is not supported on image carousel for the moment.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello,

I want to put in my page samething similar as this… http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/architecture/ A image carousel in fullscreen and animated text. ¿How can I do this?

Thnks for the answer. Pablo

Hi Pablo ,

We have used Revolution Slider on the homepage of the Architecture demo.

You can find the demo slider on the extras > architecture > revolutionslider.zip and import it on Revolution Slider settings.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Absolutely beautiful theme. I have a couple of questions about the mobile navigation:

1. Can you adjust the settings so that it goes full screen?

2. The text in the menu on desktop isn’t in all caps, but the mobile version is. Can this be adjusted at all? There are menu items on my site that will require the page names to not be in all caps.

Thanks, really lovely work, keep it up.

Hi alexjbell,

1— We are working to release this feature on the next updates :)

2— That can be adjusted easily with a little CSS rule that we can send to you, and you just need to put it on the Custom CSS area :)

We are working hard on it, I hope it will be launched this week cause there are some little things left.

Hi there,

First can I say how impressed I am with this theme, I’ve used a lot of theme over the years and this one is by far the easiest to manage that I’ve come across, well done. :-)

I just had a quick query about the ‘Text Quote’ in the Portfolio CPT, at the moment this doesn’t support HTML but I wondered if it would be possible to add a function to my child theme to enable this. I’d just like to be able to add some basics in here like
and .

Many thanks, David.

Hi David

Thank you very much for your nice words, really appreciate your comments.

Sorry about the delay of the response, because I wasn’t in the office and other support members weren’t able to help on this issue.

I’ve modified this feature to enable and support HTML + wordpress shortcodes, so here is the quickfix for you (before the update comes with the fix):

1. Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/16RNF+

2. Replace it in wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

Its done. I hope it will work the way you want.

Once again sorry for late response.


Arlind

Many thanks Arlind, very much appreciated. ;-)

Hi modulelondon,

Glad to hear that your request is now solved :)

P.S: 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) :)

I have 2 questions regarding the Kalium theme:

1. On portfolio item pages, how can I remove “Project” from the “Previous” and “Next” Project links (at bottom)? 2. How do I activate Slider Revolution for my installation (so that I am able to download slider templates from Themepunch)?

Thanks for the prompt and great support!

To translate theme strings, you can do this via Loco Translate plugin. If you don’t have this plugin, please install and activate it in your WordPress site.

1. Then go to Loco Translate > Manage Translations

2. Click “New Language” for the current active theme (if you didn’t created it yet, otherwise ignore this step). On the new language page, choose these options – click here http://d.pr/i/1ewoc

3. After that you will be redirected to the editing screen for theme translations. Before you continue make sure this is true – click here http://d.pr/i/18h0w

4. Follow these instructions to learn how to translate strings – http://d.pr/i/1jsek

5. The changes will be applied immediately – http://d.pr/i/1ju6w

Note: Translation files will be saved to wp-content/themes/{theme-name}/languages folder. Here you have the explanation – http://d.pr/i/1lBCJ

After you make your changes, always save a backup when there is new theme update. After you update the theme (languages folder will be replaced), just move the backup files you previously saved to the same languages directory and your changes will still be applied.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art, at the bottom of a portfolio item page (where the is “next project” and “previous project”), I would like to remove the word “project” so that it just says “next” and “previous”. Also, in between “next” and “previous”, is it possible to make the icon link back to the current portfolio category rather than main/portfolio? Thank you

Images are loading on isabellebatz.com thank you.

Next issue is the logo and navigation is not working on Iphone5s. it just says “Logo” where the logo should be.

the logo loads on tablets just fine

Hi Aaronkershaw,

I just checked your site on iPhone 5S and your logo is working totally fine, please refresh your browser cache, because you need to refresh Safari 4-5 times to take the latest changes.
