Hi, I purchased the Kalium WordPress theme and downloaded the corresponding psd templates in order to layout my graphic design portfolio in PhotoShop. However, there seems to be a discrepancy between the dimensions of the psd template versus the actual WordPress theme. The template being used is for the Portfolio FullSize slider (9_PORTFOLIO_SINGLE 3.psd) Can you please tell me what size to make the images for best clarity? The psd template for the for the Portfolio FullSize slider is 1470×984 pixels at 72 pixels/inch. The person I am handing the psd files over to indicates the images should be much larger. Please advise. Thank you very much, Andrew P.

Hi Andrew,

The Photoshop files differ from the live demo site, since then many features have been added to the site, there isn’t any specific size for the full-screen portfolio as it will resize to the size of the window.

Hi there,

I just bought your handsome Kalium theme, i have a “stupid and simple” question, i would like to work on Agency demo, so with Auto type on main page, where can i change the text? I searched and didn’t find it!

Thank you for you help ;-)

Kti

Hi Kat,

Yes you can do that, by using the WPML plugin.

Hey Ylli,

Hello there,

I updated m to the newest 1.7.2 version of Kalium and I now have some issues with my site: marius-dahl.com

- I can no longer see my video that I had put on the Front Page. – The text under this video has also disappeared – I also lost my social media buttons that I had in the footer – Menu button don’t work any more (Normally it should give me a top menu with three pages leading to ‘Portfolio’ ‘contact’ and ‘about me’

So basically the site is all blank; except my logo and the menu button.

I have not gotten any error messages and all pages and settings are still intact when I check them under my wordpress and Kalium admin.

Any suggestions to what might be wrong ?

Thanks,

// Marius

I have problems with image quality in the portfolio section – they look blurry. As an example I have an image uploaded to the Library which is 1800×1200px and is crisp and sharp. when viewed in the portfolio “columned layout” with image set at full-width. It is displayed on the site at 1141px wide but the embedded image is a 1240px wide image (which when viewed by itself out of the html is acceptably sharp) and the img tag is set to 1240 as well. But somewhere along the line the image is scaled via js/css/html in the browser and becomes blurry.

Please help.

Dev site: http://www.jasonhindley.com/dev/index.php/portfolio/feel-again-in-ecuador/

The embedded image snipped from the output html: http://www.jasonhindley.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/JasonHindleyAmazon01-1240x827.jpg

The original image in the library: http://www.jasonhindley.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/JasonHindleyAmazon01.jpg

Hi joenweidemann

In order to show full sized (original size) of images in portfolio add this Code:

add_filter( 'kalium_single_portfolio_gallery_image', create_function('$size', 'return "original";') );

This will show original images instead of generated ones. I hope it will work well for you.

Note: The suggested code is recommended to be added in Child Theme file called functions.php

Hello

I have been trying to look for a widget to simply add a blank email field and a subscribe button but the ones found are huge and ugly.

Any idea of having something minimal and neat?

Thanks Mahmoud

Hello Art and thanks

Actually what i meant is, what can you recommend among widgets a simple effective one for a newsletter subscription.

Hi Mahmoud,

We haven’t used any plugin that can do this job, maybe you can find any plugin that can do this from the Wordpress plugins section here.

Hello Ylli

Alright thanks.

Hi!

How is it possible to change the caption to each photo ?

Now takes the description from the portfolio .

http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/adestra/

Thankk!

Hi ixidron

This feature is not supported actually. I am interested to know about how do you mean to insert portfolio caption in portfolio?

As in the link provided there is no space to properly add caption, it doesn’t look fine.


Arlind

Hi,

I have used the the theme here http://unspunmarketing.com/ .. have 3 questions based on colors

- footer background color I can change from options to black but can I change the footer text & links colors to say white only to say - in contact page http://unspunmarketing.com/contact/ can I change only the colors of the headlines text to orange?

- http://unspunmarketing.com/services/ changing the font color for only the accordion headings & text?

Hi again,

Add this to the Custom CSS then:

footer.main-footer .big-footer .section h1, footer.main-footer .big-footer .section h2, footer.main-footer .big-footer .section h3 {
    color: #212121 !important;
} 

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

I added the 2nd code for contact page and also added the code just above on the main CSS code area but the color did not change on the contact page..

Hi,

http://www.murray-associates.com/_wp_/

We have installed Kalium but have an issue with the images displaying, they all appear to be broken, I can upload them fine through the media module and can see the images in the uploads folder but cannot view them…

For example

http://www.murray-associates.com/_wp_/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/demo-img-3-3-1240x1552.png

It returns the following error:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/demo-img-3-3-1240×1552.png on this server.

Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

If it a server/folder permissions issue can you recommend what settings the htaccess and uploads folder should be set to?

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul

The “403” error is mostly related to .htaccess file. So many times it works by changing file permissions. In your case, you may try to update the permissions of wp-content/uploads/ (and all enclosed folders inside) to chmod 777, it should fix this issue.

Otherwise you may contact your hosting provider and ask them about a better solution to give you.

Hi, Where are you guys based regarding support? As I am in the UK so want to know how long it takes to get a response if you have any issues if you pay for 12 months support? Is it 24/7 support? Is there phone support?

On an e-commerce Kalium platform – are there any percentages taken off the price when you sell an item through Kalium? If so, what are they?

Is there web hosting through Kalium? If so, is it included in price or separate?

Thanks ZD.

Hi zdavidson246,

thank you for your interest on our theme.

As you may have seen on the Comments section “This author’s response time can be up to 2 business days.”

We or almost all Themeforest authors don’t offer phone support.

No there aren’t.

We don’t offer web hosting services, we just sell the theme.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, this could be a weird question but when i purchase the theme Kalium Store), the layout as it appears currently would remain the same? I like how everything looks and need something easy for me to just change the images only as an example.

Hi smartw0rx

Sorry for the delay of answer, as we are not in the office during the weekend.

Yes, once you import demo content of any of our demos everything will look the same as you saw in the demo site (except pictures are all gray).

Then you can manage to set up the theme.

“This theme is awesome! I already use several best seller’s theme but, this theme is the best! Good job!”

  Kalium received a 5 star rating from hun0915 for Customizability.

Are you using Kalium too? Don’t forget to rate it!.

Hi, I bought and installed kalium theme on my web site. Is it possible to disable the animation of Portfolio Thumbnails with Titles Inside on the mobile devices?

Hi ania1,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.fadeInLab {
    -webkit-animation-name: fadeInLabs !important;
    -moz-animation-name: fadeInLabs !important;
    -o-animation-name: fadeInLabs !important;
    animation-name: fadeInLabs !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, thank you. I did it, but I don’t think it has changed. Is there another solution? Best Regards.

Hi ania1,

Hmm if that did not work, then maybe you can wait until we release an update that can allow to remove them through the theme options.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello, Laborator,

I’ve tried different configurations for the custom portfolio query, but it shows the items always in the same order.

Is there another way to control the order of the items?

Best regards

Hi there,

You can try this plugin, it should work fine and it’s easy to use, you can order anything with the drag and drop.

Dear Kalium Team,

I have problem with fonts in Firefox – text is much bigger than in Chrome. Please check the webpage: http://nowa.aplaw.pl.

Could you please let me know how to fix it.

Thx.

Hi there,

That’s weird because Chrome is loading the condensed font while Firefox as I see is loading the default font.

Hi, I would like to purchase Kalium theme but my client wants his menu with logo centered at top and menu items below that. I have seen some request months ago for that and it has been included at to do lists for new versions. I would like to know if it is close from that new possibility to the header or not. If not, I would like to understand if it can be somehow changed through CSS customization?? Thanks and NICE WORK!

Hi wadaeko,

Thank you for your interest on our theme :)

Yes that is correct, but we pick top user requested things and we work on them to include on the updates, and this kind of menu don’t have huge interest for the moment, we will try to add it maybe on next 3-4 updates.

Thank you for your understanding!

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you Ylli for your fast reply. The thing is: for my client it is important and most of that essencial to have this layout at his site – logo centered at top and menu items below. And of course I understand that there are a to do list from you guys to follow. So, considering that it will be not available in time (need to develop his website this month), I ask you a help to understand if it is possible to change it through CSS customization. It is too hard to do it? Do you have any of buyers that did that successfully? I do not want to discard this awesome theme with several features that we need just because we could not change the header layout. I am not asking for a solution, but some tip to make us understand the difficulties or not to do that, or even some answer already done to another client with the same necessity.

Thanks again!!

Hi there,

Doing this manually would not require only Custom CSS but a lot of layout modifications, we haven’t done this before and I haven’t seen this in any of our users sites.

As Ylli said, it will be available in the upcoming updates but right now we can’t help you on this issue as it is complicated, if you can wait until then that would be great if not then I hope Kalium would fit your needs in another site :)

Hello! I’m trying to upload my kalium.zip file (admin>upload a new theme) and i’ve been trying to do so for days and it just doesn’t work (image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xbqiy9hidr74sdl/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202015-11-11%20a%20las%2018.22.27.png?dl=0) . I’m sure i’m uploading the right zip file, also i uploaded the theme via ftp and although it does work, some of the functionality (like the visual composer) is not enabled or working properly. Can you please help me? It would be of a lot of help to het an answer asap! Thank you!

Hi there,

Please make sure you read this article, make sure you have the proper memory limits and kindly ask from your hosting company to increase them.

Hello,

I am using the Kalium Freelancer theme for my website and I am having issues with the layout of my portfolio page. When I downloaded the theme demo content, the grid was off (images and text were overlapping each other) and the same thing is happening with my own portfolio.

The portfolio layout I want is “Thumbnails with visible titles” without a solid colour hover and without the animated eye. At the moment an animated eye appears at the very top center of each thumbnail. The titles along with their categories of each portfolio piece appear at the top of each thumbnail on the image. And as I previously said, the grid is completely off. The column spacing is fine, however there is no row spacing so the thumbnail images and titles are overlapping each other.

I downloaded the Regenerate Thumbnails plug in and regenerated all my thumbnails and that still did not fix the issue.

What else can I do?

Hi there, 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,
Art

Hello again, I notice it was missing too, so is my theme in my downloads tab. I have bought it with this account, and I have the paypal confirmation for the payment. I have sent in a request to theme forest to fix the purchased status as well as the missing download. It may take 7 days for them to answer though. In the meantime, would it help if I sent the confirmation of the purchase as a proof ?

Hi Marius,

Unfortunately not, until we see the purchased badge we cannot give you support for this item.

How do I get a background video to ‘cover’ the screen, even when resizing browser?(as with your demo) I have added a vimeo video but it keeps its aspect ratio when the screen width is reduced?

Hi there,

It’s a problem of the sliders, you cannot have a full screen video if you’re using YouTube or Vimeo, they will keep the borders.

We have contacted the slider developers for this issue but the best fix for now is to upload your video on your servers.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello,

I can’t import demo content :/

It says : [ErrType: xml-wp-content] Error 500 – Internal server error

Could you please tell me how to fix that ?

I do not have wordpress importater installed and i have 256M memory limit.

thanks in advance

Elodie

Hi there,

Please take some time to read this article and see the limits that need to be increased.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello,

We did increase the php limits as said in your recommandations but it still does not working.

Waiting for your answer.

Elodie

Hi Elodie,

That’s really weird as this has never happened if the limits are increased, can you please e-mail us your login credentials via e-mail?

You can send us email from Profile on themeforest, on the right side you will see “Email Laborator” box, please don’t forget to explain the problem again.

Kind Regards,
