I wrote two separate questions because i was assessing two different possibilities, using your blog element or building manually a page.

I am going to use a built page, that is not a grid element or blog element, it’s just images and text blocks. And I need to create the hover effect on the image with the eye.

Is it not possible to do it without cretaing a grid?

Thank you!!

And another question I don’t understand is about modifications of excerpts… why the excerpts are longer when you use the image on top and they are short when you use image on left. If I modify the php function which ones am I modifying?? Thank you!! Cecilia

Hi Cecilia

Sure you can add that Animated eye with Custom CSS just apply it on that page (Page Options > Custom CSS) or global Custom CSS to replace the entire site with this setting.

Note that the eye gif should be changed ~http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/images/icons/eye.gif~ to your own site url just try ~http://your-site.com/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/images/icons/eye.gif~

.vc_single_image-wrapper:after {
    display: block;
    content: '1';
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    background: #000 url(http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/images/icons/eye.gif) no-repeat center;
    background-size: 45px;
    -moz-background-size: 45px;
    -webkit-background-size: 45px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0;
    visibility: hidden;
    transition: all 350ms cubic-bezier(0.445, 0.050, 0.550, 0.950);
    -webkit-transition: all 350ms cubic-bezier(0.445, 0.050, 0.550, 0.950);
    -moz-transition: all 350ms cubic-bezier(0.445, 0.050, 0.550, 0.950);
}

.vc_single_image-wrapper:hover:after {
    opacity: 1;
    visibility: visible;
}

As for your second question it was a matter of designer that decided to show less text on left thumbnail layout type.

To set up a general length of Excerpts in wordpress add this custom code in functions.php:

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'general_excerpt_length_wp', 100 );

function general_excerpt_length_wp( $length ) {
    return 70; // number of words
}

I guess this will work fine for you.

Hi gabolora,

Yes we are the same

What do you mean with “Registering the site”please? 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

What version of Kalium are you using please?

The latest version for the moment is 1.7.2, if you are not using this version, 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

Hi Yill. Thanks a lot for your answer. I just realized the message to “register site” was under the LayerSlider WP.

Then I verified and tried doing the update of the Template (since I barely had the 1.3.1 version), but it tells me “Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 28573696) (tried to allocate 12285413 bytes) in /homepages/21/........../htdocs/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 663. So I contacted my Hosting service provider to see how much free space I have…

So I’ll wait until I have tried all this before I get back to you.

Thanks again

Hi there,

Please kindly ask your hosting company to increase your PHP limits.

Hi AM_MAROTO,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.main-footer.footer-bottom-vertical .footer-bottom .footer-links .social-networks a:hover {
    background-color: #fffc84 !important;
}

.main-footer.footer-bottom-vertical .footer-bottom .footer-links .social-networks a:hover i {
    color: #fff !important;
}

P.S: I like your site very much, compliments

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you so much for your words and your help!! I have another question (I promise that It is the last one!!) In the menu, It will be posible that when I Choose one Item (like instagram, portfolio…) It will change of colour (my yellow) or become bold? Thanks!! https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dql4dzfeihma4r/001_DUDA%20KALIUM.jpg?dl=0

Hi AM_MAROTO,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.current-menu-item a {
    color: #fffb83 !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
}

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 very much:)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi finlayso,

We didn’t include that demo, because it is exactly as the Main demo, and only the dark skin is applied and the menu is different.

1. You can do the Dark Skin from the Laborator > Theme Options > Theme Styling > click “Yes” on the Custom Skin Builder then on the “Our selection of predefined skin palettes” just click the Dark Skin.

2. To do the same menu as on the Dark Demo, just go to Laborator > Theme Options > Header and Menu > Standard Menu > and untick the “Show menu items only when clicking menu bar link”.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi there,

There may be many issues why the theme demo content isn’t uploading in your site, what you should firstly do is check your PHP limits, by reading that article and if you have lower PHP limits than needed please contact your hosting company and ask them to increase these limits.

Hi Linden

If you want to set up a portfolio page as home page here are the proper steps:

1. Create new Page called Portfolio or something like that (make sure the page URL slug is not portfolio)

2. Choose the “Portfolio Page” template and click Update/Publish button.

3. Go to Settings > Reading, set this newly created page as Front page.

Save page and you will have portfolio items exposed in your homepage.

However if this is not going to work for you, please read the below suggestion:

Can you please enable WP Debug Mode because I am not able to exactly know what kind of issue is this.

To turn on WP Debug Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open wp-config.php

2. Find WP_DEBUG constant (written as define('WP_DEBUG', false);)

3. Set value to true (define('WP_DEBUG', true);) and save file.

4. Go to the same page, refresh it and you will see a PHP warning or fatal error being display. Copy the error or better send me the screenshot so I will be able to understand what kind of issue is that and will give you proper fix to it.

Hi Arlind,

It works when I go to the web link… (http://cheesy1.lindenwade.co.uk/main-page). But when I visit the website it doesn’t. (http://cheesy1.lindenwade.co.uk).

I can’t seem to enable WP_DEBUG mode either. There’s no option for that in my WP_CONFIG file.

Hi there,

As I see, your site isn’t using our theme.

Hi

I think you need to disable this plugin and try to install it again from scratch.

To do this please go to FTP, and just delete or move out of plugins/ folder (wp-content/plugins/) named js_composer.

Then re-install Visual Composer latest version. To get the latest version we should send it to you via email, so can you please give us your email here or if you don’t want to expose it you can send us an email from our contact form inquiring latest VC version.

To send us email use this link. 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.

Hi there,

I tried doing this with a Custom CSS but couldn’t find any way to fix this.

Hi there,

That’s a great feature what we thought about too, but currently there is no option to do that. We will work on the new updates to make this possible, I have already added this to the to-do list.

Hi gomacom,

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)

another question.. my site displays that it is under construction even though I have ‘maintenance mode’ and ‘coming soon mode’ under the theme options disabled. Hope you can help.

Hi christinaung

In order to install custom typography (in your case css import) it is simple in our theme, go to Theme Options > Typography:

Then paste the CSS url to “Primary font URL” and/or “Heading font URL”

Note that you need also to provide the font name specified in CSS, as shown in Screenshot.

Hopefully you can manage to set it up.

Arlind

Hi there, Can you try adding this to the Custom CSS:

.single-portfolio-holder .portfolio-video-holder {
    margin-bottom: 3px !important;
}

.single-portfolio-holder .title {
    display: none !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

That helped with the top and bottom margin, but not the left and right.

Hi empiregreen,

You can’t reduce left and right padding because you will break responsiveness grid functionality. In this case maybe it’s best to not touch it.

—Ylli

Hi TheTasteBureau,

For sure that you can use WooCommerce on all of our demos, it’s the same theme

Also you can change the menu from the Laborator > Theme Options > Header and Menu.

Kind Regards,
