Hello, I have Vimeo videos on my portfolio items, and i’m putting the vimeo links directly into Kalium’s portfolio gallery “menu”.

The problem is that they are reproducing in loop and I don’t want this to happen, I would like them to reproduce automaticaly but only once (not in loop).

How can I fix this 2 options? (auto reproduction and No loop)

http://www.jaumellorens.com/portfolio/everything/

Thanks!

Hi jaumellorens

I understand the issue, so here I’ve made the fix for you, here is what you need to do:

1. Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/1b2Oo+

2. Replace it in:

wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

It will not “loop” videos anymore.

About auto-reproduction, what do you mean because I am not exactly sure what you say here.


Arlind

Thanks, it’s fixed now, about the auto-reproduction I meant when the video reproduces automaticly when you enter a page, but I don’t need it now, so no problem.

But It would be nice in the future to have a menu or something to change the Vimeo video behavior inside wordpress or kalium tools.

Thanks.

Hi

Glad to hear that. Yes we will add the feature to “autoplay” videos and enable looping of the videos for each of them individually.

On line 275 of the file I’ve sent you can enable this feature setting “autoplay”: true in this part of code:

<video src="" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="auto" height="auto" data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["vimeo"], "src": "<?php echo esc_url( $video_url ); ?>", "loop": false, "autoplay": false }'></video>

The new code:

<video src="" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls preload="auto" width="auto" height="auto" data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["vimeo"], "src": "<?php echo esc_url( $video_url ); ?>", "loop": false, "autoplay": true }'></video>

Next time we will add this functionality directly in admin panel so you don’t need to hard code.

Hello,

I added a blog-post-element via visual composer, you can see at:

http://ritualmallorca.com/prueba/?page_id=4319

And I can’t find how to customize the hover color of the thumbnail. I want it to be this color #aabecc

I found a similar case of another user but i don’t understand where do i have to write the color code. Would you mind to pass me the css code?

Thank you Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.wpb_wrapper .lab-blog-posts .blog-post-entry .blog-post-content-container .blog-post-title a:hover {
    color: red !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you!!! Perfect!!!

Dear Laborator Team, I am looking for a appropriate Theme for my new first professional website and really like the technical up-to-dateness and the simple design of your Kalium theme. But I really would like to know if there are plans for an horizontal portfilio like in this Theme? (http://inthe.me/demo/fluxus/portfolio/)

I like horizontal portfolios because you can slide pictures like walking in a museum and you can presentate them with the same hight in one line, which looks very elegant. Also it is nice to use the scroll wheel or the the arrow-keys.

If this could be possible to see in your next releases, I have to more reasons, not to buy this theme.

Kind regards, Max.

Hi Max,

Thank you for your interest on our theme.

I’m really sorry but we don’t plan to add this feature to our Kalium theme anytime soon.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks for you quick answer, Yilli. But due to the fact, that I found no other theme, that brings so much options for my ambitions, I likely will buy it anyway.

Kind Regards, Max. :grin:

Hi Max,

Welcome to the club then, enjoy Kalium :)

Hi Laborator, Looks like my pictures are hidden in the shop and in the portfolio.
http://lnx.woodandmood.com
below the revolution slider it’s a selection of items from the shop. The pictures are like hidden and have no idea why.
Check here http://lnx.woodandmood.com/shop/
I have really no idea of what happened, I spent the last hour trying to understand the problem.
1. I reapplyed the permessions on the file in the server. nothing has changed
2. I backed up the theme settings and rolled back to the default settings. Nothing has changed. I restored the previous saved settings
3. I run the thumbnail resize plugin to resize all the images.
Non of these steps took me to a solution
I have no idea of what I did. Inspecting the source code, look like there is no “src” attribute to the img tag, there is just a “data-src” attribute.
Any idea of what I did wrong? I think it’s kinda impossible that this is a bug appeared from nowhere.

Hi there,

Unfortunately there isn’t any fix for this right now, we have added this to the to-do list and really soon we will update the theme with this feature included in it.

Kind Regards,
Art

It’s ok, I’m glad that you understood the “problem”, even if is not really a problem of the theme.
Cheers :p

Hi woodandmood,

Hi Guys, I need to style contact form 7 like your ajax form. I see that other clients ask for same question, can you provide me styles to add on my css ? Thanks

Hi there,

I understand what you’re saying but as I said we need to see the site live, when you decide to publish your site the best would be to give us a link to it and we could find a way to re-style these forms, until then we can’t help you.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi, the site is on-line, I need to style the CF7 form now. Where can I send you the link in private ? Thanks

Hi roventeweb,

This is a custom request, but we will try to help you if we can.

To send us email use this link and please write us your request again, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.

P.S: 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. Also emails response time can be up to 7 business days.

Hi

I’ve just purchased your theme for use by one of my clients and was wondering if there is a form plugin that works well with your theme. My preference would be for Ninja forms as I want to include a form with Capatcha on some of the portfolio pages and the Ajax form doesn’t facilitate the Capatcha. Can you advise.

reagards

Dave M

Hi Dave M

Currently Ninja forms plugin is not supported (meaning not applying Kalium theme styling) but it works fine with our theme.

We have added this plugin in our Todo list to implement in the next update.

Best regards


Arlind

Hi Arlind

Is there a capatcha that works with the existing Ajax Form, if so can this in some way be enabled?

regards

Dave M

Hi Dave M

Actually no other contact form plugin is supported. Each of them must be specifically added to our theme support list of plugins.

Actually not test any other plugin but added Ninja Forms to our to do list.

Hide placeholder when no Featured Image?

Hi, This related to Blog in list mode. Is it possible to hide the empty featured image square? In the case there is no featured image.

br. H.

Hi Actually right code seems to be: .blog-holder .box-holder .post-format .thumb .default-thumbnail-placeholder { background-color: #fff !important; }

Hi HannuT,

So the problem is fixed now?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yep. Everythig is ok. Thanks.

I have a problem with the portfolio, it only shows 12 items, and doesn’t have pagination.

Hi quiahuitzin

Can I know how did you created a portfolio page? If you have selected a Custom Query then that might be the issue however I need to see the backend (screenshots possibly) and URL of the portfolio page, so I can give you a concrete solution.


Arlind

I solved it, I changed the Portfolio page included in the architecture demo

Hi quiahuitzin,

We are glad that you managed to solve this :)

Hello!

I wanted to delete the background of the footer and the space there. I would like the footer text to be ON the image that i placed in the homepage (i placed the image with the “single image” thing). My website is: http://chelseavandenberg.com/ so you can check it! It’s that white footer space that annoys me, so if you can tell me how to erase it i’ll be absolutely thankful!!!

Thank you very much!!!

hi.

is it possible to add submenues (links, etc. to subsites) to the agency layout and is it possible to mix elements from the different layouts in one? for example a about me section under the headline of the agency?

thanks for infos tom

Hi dq-8,

Yep they are possible from the Theme Options :)

Hi Laborator,

I’m working very well with your theme and I really love it. I have a question about portfolio settings. I hope I can explain properly my problem:

For my customer I need to set 4 different categories and all of these have sub-categories such as as follow:

Interior design (main category) - Hotel (sub) - Showroom (sub) - House (sub) - etc.

Industrial design (main category) - Living Room (sub) - Bedroom (sub) - Kitchen (sub) - Bath (sub) - etc.

Art (main category) - Exhibit (sub) - Graphic Design (sub) - Virtual Image (sub)

Architecture (main category)

This is my categories structure. For each categories the menu of the portfolio (Filter menu) should be composed with the subcategories as as follow:

Interior Design -> All – Hotel (filter 1) – Showroom (filter 2) – House (filter 3) – etc.

This is very important for him because all works could be navigate properly and easly from the website user. I hope you have a solution and I hope you don’t tell me that is impossible or to use a third party plugin! :)

Please help me to find a solution! :)

Very kindly regards.

Simone.

Hi Laborator,

thanky you for your reply! If this update coming up in the next month for me it’s ok, in this moment I’m using the Custom Query for divide the categories, you can see the result here: http://www.cooldesign.it/demo-server/castigliaassociati/industrial-design/

To do this I don’t have main categories and sub categories but whole categories as main. For the moment it’s good because in the future I’ve to make, for example, to Bath category yours subcategories such as year of production, brand name and much more. Do you think in the future will be difficult to setting up the portfolio properly with the new implementations?

I’m waiting with patience and a comment for you is: one of the best theme that I ever bought in Envato Market, 5 stars for you! With this upadating I think your theme wolud worth 6 stars! The best one. :)

Kindly regards.

Simone.

Only a suggestion: consider to show in a portfolio page a “Title – subtitle” instead of “Title – Categories”, or both! :D

Cheers.

Simone.

Hi Simone

Firstly thank you so much for your kind words, we are really glad to have you as a client.

The implementation of Portfolio sub-category system will not be difficult to activate, in fact you will have to activate it in theme options, thats all (and organize categories).

As for your suggestion, thats in our todo list as well. We are going to provide both features in the same time of the update.

Many thanks

Oh no… I think i’ve deleted some of the demo content pages for the shop. How can I install the demo-page ‘Shop with sidebar right’ easily without starting over?

Hi lianaelmans,

To enable the right sidebar, just go to WP Dashboard > Laborator > Theme Options > Shop Settings > find the “Shop sidebar visibility” and choose Show Sidebar on Right.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

it was already enabled… but it’s only showing it if I go into a deeper catagory level… I want a ‘starting shop-page’, where you can find different products and are able to see the sidebar with categories… i guess that’s not possible? i’ve not added the ‘widgetized sidebar’ onto it, but it looks a bit off.

Hi there,

Normally it should be showed in the shop page after you’ve set these settings, if you’ve set the shop page with Visual Composer then it must have the Widgetized Sidebar too.

Can you please send us your site URL first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution

Hello. I have installed the theme and have two bugs that need addressing:

- I have uploaded our logo – but the default white arch logo still shows on the home page?

- I’ve set up a team page as per the documentation but the template option on the right only shows portfolio. there is no “Team Page”

How do we fix these? lee

Hi lee,

1— 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)

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 :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

1 – fixed 2 – I have followed your documentation to create a “TEAM” page.

“Creating the page for your company team is really easy, let’s start by creating a new page at Pages > Add New and name it Team, on the right sidebar set the Template to Team Page.”

— This can’t be done as the right sidebar doesn’t have a template option for “Team Page”.

I am using the “architecture” style template. lee

Hi there,

We are sorry, that part of documentation is a bit old and doesn’t match with the current theme options, here is a video tutorial that explains how to create the team page:

Hi guys,

Yesterday I migrated the website to another server of another hosting company. Now I can’t change my theme options anymore, it keeps giving me an error.

I’ve checked the PHP settings at the hosting company, should be ok. Just the max execution time is 30.

Please help!! Deadline is tomorrow!!

Hierarchical Portfolio?

Is it possible to show hierarchical portfolio with Kalium? What I mean is that “All” would show only top level portfolios instead of all.

Now if I have e.g. photo portfolio “Landscapes”, “Persons” and “Pets” and several sub galleries under each current “all” becomes a mess and too large.

So I would like to have only few top level Categories visible.

Hi HannuT

Aha, I see what you mean here, I have added this to our todo list and will do my best to implement this kind of filter.

Thanks for your suggestion!


Arlind

Looking forward to this :) This is quite standard behavior in any photo gallery… and yes I could install some gallery plugin but I like to look and feel of the Portfolio. In addition I try to avoid extra plugins as they may mess up the template.

We will add this feature soon, stay tuned by checking our theme changelogs :)

Hello, is it possible to use the Masonry style portfolio but with visible titles, and can I remove the “eye” completely? I just want it to have a slight transparency on hover.

Thanks!

Hi aerialis

Yes this is possible, see this screenshot:

http://drops.laborator.co/1lCHO

To apply small transparency on hover choose “Apply Transparency” option on that fields block.

To make change the opacity of that layer simply add this custom CSS with your own parameter of opacity which currently is 0.9:

.portfolio-holder .product-box .photo:hover .on-hover {
    opacity: 0.9;
}

Hopefully this will help you.


Arlind

Thanks, the site address is http://www.justinlau.ca/ .

One more, on individual portfolio pages, is it possible to make a layout like this: http://news.nike.com/news/nike-tech-craft-volt-collection

Specifically, the title at the top, then a full-width slider, and below that the centered layout but with alternating photos and text? I could only add text as quotes, not as body type paragraphs.

Thanks! -Justin

Hi Justin

This is a common request from Kalium users so we have decided it implement it in the next update, a portfolio item to have “Full width” featured, and so then use Visual Composer to build their preferred Layout of portfolio item.

This will take a while to develop so please stay tuned with theme updates we will specify this feature in changelog.

Best regards


Arlind

hi there, I added a portfolio page /portfolio and some portfolio items. They displayed initially but now have disappeared and I’m pulling my hair out trying to find out what has changed to make them disappear. I can view the individual

I have read some of previous support comments and I don’t have jetpack installed, I have followed the portfolio page template option.

Struggling and hoping you can help!

Hello Laborator Team,

I just launched the Beta version of my site last night, www.jcloewe.com. When clicking the header tab Portfolio my users are seeing a 404 error. The tab link is set to the page “Portfolio” (under Appearance>Menus), a page I can’t even find in my WP admin, http://www.jcloewe.com/?page_id=3283 . If I try to reach this page directly within another browser directly I get a 404. I can only reach the page if I’m logged in to my WP admin.

My permalinks are set to “Post Name.”

Please help with a solution, and I’d also like to know where the “Portfolio” page lives because I can’t find it through my WP admin.

Thank you, J.C. Loewe

Hi J.C. Loewe

Firstly I would like to thank you for your rating and brilliant comments!

The reason I believe that stands behind the portfolio link error page is because is set as “Custom Link” which remains doesn’t update with the Permalinks structure.

I suggest you to go again in Appearance > Menus, and delete the existing Portfolio link item, then add again from the “Pages” section.

Also make sure that Portfolio page is not Private post, because that will not allow users to access that page without sufficient permissions.

If you can’t handle this, I can take a look and find the fix for you.

Best regards


Arlind

Thank you,

Such a simple solution. After removing “Portfolio” from the menu structure and then re-adding it from the “Pages” section not only made it visible from my testing browsers, but I can also see the page in my WP Admin (which was not possible before).

This must be yet another issue with the WP permalinks structures.

Thanks! J.C. Loewe

You’re welcome Loewe :)
