Activating Yoast SEO has broken ability to edit homepage either on front or back end. What am I missing? If I deactivate Yoast plug in, I can edit homepage again.

I am using 1.7.2 Kalium and WP 4.3.1. Could you help please?

Have you had chance to look at this yet? Thanks, Helen

Hi Helen,

We will get back to you today, it was weekend and we couldn’t write you back.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks Art. I await your reply. Helen

Demo content is not appearing on my home page after installing demo content. Is this due to a php limit? I am using godaddy.

Hi RyMaloney

If you are not getting any error during demo content installation and see no imported content at all, then I need to check this out.

If you get any error on installation then tell me or send me a screenshot about it.

Hi! I’m back with a question concerning the use of carousels for portfolio items. I’ve made a page and added the images – everything is ready, and should work. However, the carousel isn’t appearing on the page itself.

I’m also wondering about adding sidebars to every page of the website. How do I edit my styles in a way that adds sidebars to almost every page?

Finally, I’m wondering about feature images on blog posts. I’ve added them, and the changes have been made, but instead of having a feature image as a thumbnail, the field has completely disappeared.

Hi MHFoley

In portfolio item you should assign Featured Image for each portfolio item in order for them to be displayed on the page.

Also do not forget to choose “Portfolio” page as page template for that page. Also there may be a specific post containing slug “portfolio” and this breaks the page in some cases.

The blog widget is showing fine, except for the unstyled so add this JavaScript in Theme Options > Footer , Custom JavaScript Field:

<script>
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
   $( ".jetpack_subscription_widget input[type=email]" ).addClass( "form-control" );
   $( ".jetpack_subscription_widget input[type=submit]" ).addClass( "btn btn-primary" );
} );
</script>

Arlind, Thank you for your help. I’ve tried adding widgetised sidebars, but there’s no room in Visual Composer to place it on the side of the page. Also, nothing is showing up.

I’ve tried adding featured images to blog posts, and they’re still not showing up.

Whenever I open a blog post, it takes me to a place that has the link structure MaxFoley.com/post-name. I’d like it to be .com/page-category/post-name.

Also, I’d like there to be a sidebar in blog posts themselves. There must be a way to set styles so that every post has it, without me needing to insert a Widgetized Sidebar every time.

As for my portfolio, I’ve tried what you suggested. However, featured images aren’t allowing the posts to be displayed. Carousels are also not showing up in portfolio items.

Is there a way in which we can discuss support in real time, on Skype or via phone? I’m having a lot of trouble making this theme respond in the way I’d like it to. Let me know.

Hi there,

It would be better if you could send us an e-mail with your login credentials and I would try to manage it somehow from the backend.

Try adding this to the Settings > Permalinks Custom Structure to make your URLs like that:

/%category%/%postname%/

There cannot be a sidebar on single posts, we don’t have this feature now but we are planning to add it in the upcoming updates.

I am sorry but the only line we give support to our users is here, we are not available via Skype or phone.

Kind Regards,
Arlind

Hi, Can you take another look at my homepage http://karenbrummund.com/ ? The header/menu runs off the screen when you view the page on a mobile device. The other pages on my site do not have this problem. The homepage is the only page with a rev slider and the only page with an absolute header. The header/menu on the other pages adjusts (scales correctly) on a mobile device. Thank you.

Hi kmmb,

That is happening because you have very long Logo (name).

To fix that just go to Custom CSS on the WP Dashboard and paste this code:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .header-logo {
        font-size: 26px !important;
    }
}

P.S: I saw that you have posted multiple tickets, if you have any question on the future, please write you comment only on one thread and please don’t create multiple threads.

Have a nice weekend!
—Ylli

thank you this fixed the problem

HI kmmb,

Glad to hear that :)

Hi, @first i have to say that the theme is pretty good and nice & easy to configure; i like it very much!

I have only one problem left: i have added new “portfolio items” and i wanted the color of the links (e.g. Facebook…) on mouse in the portfolio items to appear as configured in “Appearance -> Theme Options -> Theme Styling” but that has no effect on them but it worked on any other page. Could you please let me know where i could change these settings? Thank you!

i just want to appear them in the color #444444 at anytime

Hi michabo10,

Thank you for your kind words :)

I wrote on this thread your other question too, 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 :)

As for first question:

Q1:

Hi there,

Yes you will need to upload it somewhere and then in the Theme Options > Typography type the font family and the font-name, don’t forget to include your font source.

Hello. I’m havingtrouble with a facebook comments plugin. On Video/Audio formated pages the trigger of the plugin: add_action(‘the_content is called twice resulting in two identical fb commend boxes… I’ve managed to make it appear once on a ‘Audio’ type page by adding suppress_filters=”true”][/audio] but i don’t need to edit the code each time i post a audio , and i can’t find how to add suppress_filters to video posts, and that’s even if suppress_filters is really the answer to my problem. Live links with problem: chiritamarian.ro/its-never-to-late-to-fall-in-love and using suppress_filters: chiritamarian.ro/audio-post

The add_action(‘the_content is buggy on the Like page plugin (as seen in the links) and it might break other publically available plugins out there.

Please advise. Thanks!

P.S. Other than this issue, It’s a wonderfull theme!

Hi

Firstly thank you for kind words, really pleased to hear them.

After checking your site and analyzing the current code on single post I’ve found out that the_content() is being called only once. So the plugin you are using may be called twice during post rendering.

You can ask the plugin developer to see if they have made a mistake on that. Because if you have put the shortcode only once in post, and its being shown two times, then the developer of Facebook comments must be notified. For your instance I suggest you to switch to any of default wordpress themes and see if this issue is happening. If the same thing is happnening with other theme them the plugin is responsible for that issue.

Have a great weekend


Arlind

Sir the issue occurs on two distinct plugins (from diferent developers) “wp-fb-share-like-button” and “comments-from-facebook” – and before i’ve even considered asking for spport i’ve tested the plugins on the default wordpress themes but they do not act as on “Kalium” theme. Also to replicate the bug i’ve edited the Kalium functions.php and added to the end the following: function testme($content) { global $post;$original = $content;$content = “this-is-a-test”;$content .= $original;return $content;} add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘testme’ ); and the it’s the same result, “this-is-a-test” is shown twice on pages that are have selected “Video” of “Audio” Format type, but on regular posts the string is printed only once. – only when choosing Quote, Image , Link, Gallery and Standard the add_filter( ‘the_content’ works properly (chiritamarian.ro/13-virtuti-ale-lui-benjamin-franklin)

Please advise.

p.s. duplication occurs on “pages” to … chiritamarian.ro/despre

Hi asterisc

I’ve added your code:

function testme($content) { 
    global $post;
    $original = $content;
    $content = "this-is-a-test";
    $content .= $original;
    return $content;
} 

add_filter( 'the_content', 'testme' );

Tested it on all post formats and the string this-is-a-test showed only once.

However I need to try this on your site and find the properfix.

Hello, I would like to run the agnecy template of yours at my site : http://www.minalindstrom.com/

I bought the theme in May. I tried to configure it today! oh my what a day, no matter how hard I worked and followed your info on my site, the portfolio items does not show any pictures as I added to Portfolio gallery, I did it now at least 14 times over and over again, I am going mad or there is something wrong? I have your demo data, plus my portfolio items, but no pictures are showing part from one!

Plus Menu does not work either, I have set coming soon page up now but working on back end as I explained above, You can login and fix if can that will be great – you can

login I have details for you

Hi there,

I fixed it by disabling the Jetpack plugin, it was causing some problems with the theme scripts, which were blocking the images from showing.

What’s the problem with the menu, I checked it and it seems to be okay, it loads fine and the links all work.

Kind Regards,
Art

ok but I would like to use 1- jetpack, but you are saying it does not work with your template together, is that right? and about 2- menus the one on the right top corner, and the links with in that i does not work, when you select Portfolio nothing shows, also 3- when you select to see the map the map does not work I place Frankfurt am Main coordinates 3 times but it never saves this.. so and plus non of the portfolio items I created are showing, should I have to create pages for them? I only created New portfolio items, I must say not much is working for me please help you can call me in Skype if things are not clear, I am sending my SKYPE id via mail – thanks

Hi again,

1. Currently there is no support for this plugin, it will cause many problems with the theme, we will try to fix this in the upcoming versions.

2. I just checked this again, in three different devices and it worked fine, the portfolio shows the portfolio items.

3. You will need to remove the extra characters like ° E from the latitude and longitude, then it will work fine, I fixed this for you now so you can see it.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hey there,

A question is about the individual post pages, it’s loading the images but the theme is messing up the inline images so they don’t show. Maybe a theme styling issue?:

1. Newer than page 13 – Current posts http://scottleinweber.com/2015/10/18/king-of-kebab-norrebrogade/ all show up in the blog view, list view with thumbnails just fine, but when you go to the link, it will load but not render. The only control in the theme I thought would help is blog image can be Full Width or Within Container. Neither changes it seems.

2. Older than page 13 – Similar thing but a separate issue is with old posts http://scottleinweber.com/2015/03/06/levitated-mass-michael-heizer-lacma/ where the OPPOSITE happens. No blog view but yes single page view. I think the images are a bit bigger and is not rendering in the blog list as a thumbnail?

I migrated the older stuff from an older WP and wanted to keep the content in the same format.

Some CSS issue? Help? Ideas?

Hi

It seems that the blog page is showing featured image now.

Is there now working or still having the same issue?


Arlind

Partially. The recent posts since I started using Kalium are ok, but the posts from before I started using Kalium, do NOT show in the stream, but DO show on the individual post…

POST Kalium (DO show up in the listing page) http://scottleinweber.com/blog/page/4/ (DO show up single post, but I get an error when trying to check the Featured image placement (single post) to Within Container) http://scottleinweber.com/2015/12/12/sekouia-pedals-at-iceland-airwaves/ PRE kalium (shows correctly Within Container single post) http://scottleinweber.com/2015/03/06/sunset-tower-sunset-blvd/ (BUT from page 16 back are pre Kalium and don’t show in the listing page but do individually) http://scottleinweber.com/blog/page/16/

Ideas on a fix? Thanks for the help, Scott

Hi Laborator! I love your Kalium theme, and I am very happy with the way it works on my website (www.martingould.com).

I have another question, though, which I hope you can help me with. If you look at the portfolio page on my website (which is the first page you come to), you will see that the category menu on the right is a little higher than the title “Book Design” on the left. Is there an easy way to lower the position of the category menu a bit, at least so it kinda lines up with the title “Book Design”, or ideally, so the baselines of both line up horizontally?

Any clues you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Hi gmartingould,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.section-title {
    margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

This is excellent! Thanks so much!

Hi gmartingould,

Glad to hear that :)

Hi there, I’ve recently purchased this beautiful theme! Very nice work! I have just two questions (for the moment :) ): I don’t understand the funcionality of the menu expecially how can I set only one color. For a better understanding: I’ve set the menu with sticky menu option and the opened menu, but when I navigate in other pages the menu changes color, I nedd simply one main color and one for the rollover for all my site!

Second question is: how can I set properly the font for the revolution slider like your demo?

You can see the site here: http://www.cooldesign.it/demo-server/castigliaassociati

Cheers!

Hi skop81,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.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: #fff !important;
}

Thank you for the theme. I have just a problem to make link with three buttons created. For each one I specify a page to link but the theme dont keep it. So when you clic on the button the page don’t change. How can I do ? My URL is : www.trametmouvement.fr. Thank you very much for your answer.

Hi Houps,

For what page are you talking please? Please send us a screenshot URL of your problem, and the URL of that exact page where you have the problem.

Also 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 :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, The probleme is on this page for exemple : http://www.trametmouvement.fr/offre/ I created two buttons : “Vous êtes une agence” and “Vous êtes une entreprise”. “Vous êtes une agence” must link with the page http://www.trametmouvement.fr/agence/ and “Vous êtes une entreprise” with http://www.trametmouvement.fr/vous-etes-une-entreprise/. When I try to make the link with the page in the theme I have this message : URL: undefined I hope it’s clearest now. Best regards

Hi there,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.3.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.7.2), please update theme first.

The easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Toolkit. On this link How to update Themes and Plugins you can learn this easy step-by-step procedure :)

Then don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you for helping me with the last touches to my new website. I am very pleased with the theme. Before today, when you the browser opened the 404 page it linked to the correct homepage. Now it is linking to a random blog post. You can view it here http://karenbrummund.com/stormroad/exchange.html How can I change this?

Hi again,

I tested it again in any link and they are appearing fine, tell me step by step how is it being shown.

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

Yes, it is working now. I edited the 404.php template. Is this the correct code?

<?php printf(__('We’re sorry, the page you looked for does not exist.
Please continue to the home page?’, ‘kalium’), site_url()); ?>

P.S. Sorry about the ticket thing.

Glad to hear you managed to fix it.

Kind Regards,

Hello!

Congratulation for your theme. It is so good that i bought several license for different projects.

On one of theme, it works perfectly: http://galeriejahidi.com

But for another one,( http://jeremiesolomon.fr ) there is a problem on small screens (and small windows on desktop.) When i click on the menu icon, something weird happens: images seem to get slightely bigger and/or the sidebar is so big that it gets hard to click again on the menu icon. As if there was a kind of zoom for all elements…

I tried many things and the parametres are nearly the same on both website…

Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Another question : the eye animation doesn’t work well on mobile phones, so i would like to desactivate it only on mobile (or replace it with the not-moving eye icon) ...is it possible?

Many thanks in advance

Hi ropsenfosse,

1— I don’t see any menu icon on your site http://jeremiesolomon.fr have you fixed this problem?

2— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .icon-basic-eye:before {
        content: "H" !important;
    }

    .portfolio-holder .animated-eye-icon .product-box .photo .on-hover i {
        background: none !important;
    }
}

I have a problem with the demo content Import.

View Agency Demo Content » However few errors appeared during the import process: [ErrType: xml-wp-content] Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Hi there,

Are you sure your site has the required limits to install the demo content? Please take some time to read this article.

hi! is it any possibility to change background light grey frame on ‘freelancer’ theme?

http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/

I try to change wrapper background color by custom css, but still not function.. it would be appreciated if you could help!

Hi arotone,

To change the color of the border, just go to Laborator > Theme Options > Border and there you can change the border color.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks a lot, Ylli, now it works !!! ;)

Just one more question, when I scrolling until the end, during the footer – “prev – next” navigation disappeared. Could it be fixed ???

Hi there,

Can you provide us with a link to your site and the page where this is happening so we can check the code and see what’s happening.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Guys, I can seem to get rid of this code:

<script language=”JavaScript”> var $ = jQuery.noConflict(); $(function() { $(”.wbfancybox”).fancybox(); }); </script>

at the end of every page, post, etc on the site.

I also can’t seem to keep the menu static on the front page only. Little help?

Hi tiffanydivinecreative

I’ve searched thorugh theme files to find this script but didn’t found any part of this code incorporated in our theme.

I think that there is a plugin outputting this code for example “FancyBox for WordPress” may be active so deactivate it and see if it will not output that code anymore.

By default, WordPress jQuery works in noConflict() mode.

Kind Regards,
Arlind

Hi.

this is my blog url : http://hanqsun.com

First off, excuse me for my English which isn’t that good.

1. I have a problem. my blog can’t view ‘featured image.’ how to set featured image?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0l18xurpu6cg7m3/01.png?dl=0

2. What is LayerSlider Wp purchase code?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3523292/blog_theme_qna/02.png

Thanks a lot.

Hi hanqsun

Don’t worry about your English, its very good though :)

1. If you are using JetPack plugin, then please download this file and replace it in this directory: kalium/inc/ folder. It will fix the issue with blog post featured images happening only when JetPack is active.

2. We are not allowed to provide LayerSlider purchase code, that is used only for updates. But each time when there is new version of Layer Slider or any other premium plugin available, we will release new version of the theme so you can update these plugins to their latest version via Appearance > Install Plugins (page).

I have a problem with the portfolio section. I put the portfolio type to filter by date and descending, and two of my items do not get filtered. They seem to switch places. I have a couple of screenshots if you want to see what I am talking about.

One item is at 18:14 and the other is at 18:15 but when displayed on the portfolio section the 18:15 is before the 18:14 ( but I have it set to DESCENDING)

any suggestions?

I will lose all my custom CSS and info if I auto update – correct?

hello, I updated my theme and the problem still exists. Any idea why?

Hi there,

It may be because you’re using the masonry portfolio and sometimes it moves the blocks in a weird way just to fit the layout.

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.
