Hi, How can I target the main navigation with CSS to apply a different colour for the current page / child of styling?

I’ve disabled the underline styling for the main navigation and want to apply a colour to indicate the current page or sub page that you’ve on. Having removed the underline there’s no way of knowing where you are in the site.

Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick,

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 there.

I’m trying to create a online shop, and I found this template that seems perfect in the design that I’m looking for.

I want to have a online shop with a gallery of my products and som fotos of poduct usage and display. I would like to know if in the woocemmerce version I can have a page with the portfolio 4 columns included, as the gallery.

How can I create this?! If I buy the theme is possible to have some assistance in order to have the online shop open for business with this gallery?!

Thank you for your time.

Hi there,

First of all, we are glad to hear these kind words from you. Regarding your questions, all the features that you see in any demo can be combined and used in the site you’re building, we will help you if you want to built your site but most of the instructions are included in the theme settings, while editing the site you will see how easy it is to work with it.

Hi there.

I have been trying to add featured image above post title and paragraph, just like this just like this one http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/desk-concept/ but somehow it doesn’t seem to work on mine.

I have ticked the box where it says “Show Featured Image” Check this box if you want to show featured image above the post title.

Would you be able to help me to make it work?

thank you

Hiro

Hi Hiro,

You can try adding this to the Custom CSS, this should be the fix:

 .portfolio-featured-image a {
display: block !important;
}

dear Kalium-team,

we encountered a speed issues while working on our theme, it is not permanent but from time to time it takes more than 7 sec. to load any content. This issues is also present while in the admin area, sometimes it is really slow sometimes not.

we tried to solve those problems by:

-reinstalling wordpress -deactivating all plugins -clearing all caches

can you check it out at www.etagevier.com/wp and maybe give us a tip about that issue?

second issues is: we have the problem that the standard green is still in use in the following areas: hyperlinks, fullscreenmenu -> social icons and the google map

how can we fix that?

regards Etage vier

Hi Etage Vier,

Regarding your first issue, have you checked if this is happening when entering any other page or it is just the homepage, the reason why it is taking some times may be the video to load and the slider on your homepage and all you can do about it is just compress the video a bit somehow with any video converter.

Second issue: I cannot see the green in hyperlinks, fullscreen menu social icons but the only place I see it is in the Google Maps on contact page, you can change that by creating your own customized pin with your skin colors and then uploading it from that page, there is a place where you can import image and use it as a pin.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hello,

Thank you for the last answer, it worked. A few more problems I need help with.

1 – I wanted to know if it would possible to change the box to fill in the contact form. Instead of a white box with a bottom-border, would it be possible to create a grey box with a darker border? - When selected while filling, the border could remain with the same color but the filling area would be white. - Could the title: name/email address/message remain on top? And without the colored line below? I left an image in the lower part of the page as an example. obiter.co.uk/contact

2 – Is it possible in some specific cases, to leave a link without any color, underline or any hover, without changing the general setting?

3 – I have a problem with a few pages when opened on smartphones. The right column (when there are a few) always appear without any margin before (on top). Adding directly a margin would change it on every way of viewing the page. Could it be possible to add in the responsive css stylesheet a top margin to just one column, the right one? This page is an example: http://obiter.co.uk/commercial-awareness/

Thank you in advance for your answer.

N

4 – A last question to add, how is it possible to decrease the margins between the widgets in the footer, to align them on the left of a four column grid in a page? Thanks again for your help.

Hi there,

1. Add this to the Custom CSS:

.contact-form input, .contact-form textarea {
    background: #F9F9F9 !important;
    border: 1px solid #CCC !important;
}

2. Unfortunately this is not possible through an option, you can do that somehow with Custom CSS but it would require you every time to target the exact links which is not recommended.

3. You can add margins, paddings and more options directly from the Visual Composer if the page you’re referring to is a page and not a portfolio or blog post.

4. Actually you can only remove a bit from the padding but they are organized in columns and that is why they are separated from each other.

Hello,

I need to install Visual Composer, Layer Slider and Revolution Slider. When I want to install it, the install stuck to unpacking the package. What can I do ? I need to install it before install the demo content.

Thanks per advance.

Hello,

Thank you very much. How can I change these parameters by my own ?

Kind regards.

Hello,

I succeed to change the paramaters as below :

max_execution_time 180 memory_limit 128M post_max_size 32M upload_max_filesize 32M

But the plugins Visual Composer, Layer Slider and Revolution Slider can’t be install anyway. This message appeared :

Unpacking the package …

Could not copy file. js_composer/assets/css/js_composer_backend_editor.css

Do you have any solution ? I’m hopeless.

Kind regards.

Hi there,

Please send us an e-mail with your login credentials and explain your problem again, you can do this by going to our profile page, on the right side you have a widget “Contact” where you can write us.

We will manage this and fix it :)

Hi! Is there the possibility to add a video on the “coming soon mode” page?

Hi there,

We have already implemented adding background images to the Coming Soon page but the video background is not implemented, we will include this in the next upcoming updates.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks a lot! And is there the possibility to add a Revolution Slider?

Hi sbrebo,

This is not possible for the moment, but we will check if we can do something about is in the future.

Until then, maybe you can use any plugin that can do this

1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/coming-soon-page/

or

2. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-landing-page-and-coming-soon-page/

Hi

I’m having a problem with the sticky description on a portfolio item. When I start to scroll the tile moves behind the menu bar. You can view it here: http://humandesign.co.uk/newhum/index.php/portfolio/larkin-with-toads-report-2/ . Also when you have scrolled to the bottom of the page the description moves off page. Is there a way to stop this happening.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards Gray

Hi Gray

I took a screenshot how this looks in my screen:

http://drops.laborator.co/1hr8O

Which is generally working, I haven’t seen an issue in this page. This is the way it works this sticky description.

The reason it moves up when page is at the bottom is to not overlap the footer.

So I don’t know what exactly to do here! If you have any suggestion I can take a look and try.


Arlind

I think the problem is when viewing in Safari. It works fine in chrome.

You can see that the image also goes over the boarder. http://d.pr/i/1jVeL This also happens on the thumb nail view. http://d.pr/i/17bh8 This is how it looks when you get to the bottom of the page. When I scroll back up the text gets stuck behind the menu. http://d.pr/i/1dFtV

Is there anything you can do about this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards Gray

Hi Gray,

Can you please try those signed out of the Admin Pannel, i just tried this in latest Safari and it worked fine. Video

Hi there,

I have a problem with my location on my map. I already have coordinates (latitude and longitude) and they are on the right location, but when I’m on the contact page what is shown on the map is other location, Check this .gif: http://d.pr/i/1jVA7

How do I set up my map on the exact location ?

Thank you

Hi Arlind,

These are the coordinates: http://d.pr/i/16ufm

Latitude: 13.689789 Longitude: -89.243621

Thank you!

Hi Arlind,

I sent you my information to your email (Wordpress + FTP). You can check this problem on the Contact page directly.

Thank you

Hi there,

We will get back to you on e-mail tomorrow.

Hello, I’ve just purchased your remarkable theme and have one question:
I want the products on the products feed in home or shop page to show some more info (like item short description), but i cant find the file that controls that (to override via child theme).
Could you please point me to the right direction? Thanks

Hi there,

I gave you this file to replace in order to make the child theme files functional, then you can create new files and they will overwrite the existing ones, this is a temporary fix cause in the new version this will be fixed.

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks a lot! works great :)

Glad to hear that kasssai :)

P.S: If you like Kalium, it would help us a lot if you could rate our item on themeforest from your Downloads tab, (if you don’t know how, just open this link) :)

Hi there, My site is 5.-2f.com. How do I do the following on my front page?

1. For the header “Latest Items”, I would like to change it to “Featured items”. How can I capture Featured products (enabled by woo commerce) in there? 2. I would like to restrict it to 6 items in that section, how can I do that? 3. I would like to also create a frame/border for the pictures (currently too big), how do I do that? 4. For the same section, I would like sometimes to decide which product to be featured without using woo commerce plugin, how do I do that? 5. I would like to be able to change the text colour of those product description auto populated in the product picture 6. In your Demo for shop, you have a set of widgets above the home collections, I need documentation on how to replicate that content in the same 4 column structure, including how to enable classifications such as Top Sellers, New Items, Top Rated etc…. 7. I would like to be able to determine which is a new item, just like the “featured” status. How can I achieve that? 8. I can’t seem be able to activate my footer apart from search box. I have footer widgets but can be seen.Need help as well.

Thanks much. Regards YB

Hi YB

I was not able to access your site, so I am going to reply to your tickets based on the question you have made.

1. To show featured products for product carousel please set “Filter Products by Type” to this value shown here:

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

2. In the same window when you click edit, click that Build Query button above the field described on #1 and set the number of items you want to show, see this screenshot: http://drops.laborator.co/P0Dq

3. It depends where you want to create these frames, for example you can do this with CSS, an easy example:

.slick-slider .item-images {
    border: 2px solid #000;
}

4. Featured products can be chosen in Product Edit page, there is no other option for that. The #1 query will select those products only.

5. Product description color is based on CSS path so you should add you own Custom CSS to change that color.

6. The page structure on home has this shortcode;

http://pastebin.com/xpNj0vbR

So copy it and paste to your wordpress classic editor then switch the Backend Visual Composer editor and you will see the structure of content.

7. New items are defined in the order, so if you select order by DATE and set DESC order in Build Query it will show new items first.

8. Don’t understand this very well, can you please describe more precisely how you want to set this?

x. To show footer widgets you must firstly add them in Appearance > Widgets (see the list of widgets added): http://drops.laborator.co/18Ks8

Then go to Theme Options > Footer Settings and apply these settings if you want your footer to look like our shop footer:

http://drops.laborator.co/1dY97

I just get this message for LaySlider WP, I thought it was part of the theme plugin? You need to authorize this site in order to get upgrades or support for this plugin. Purchase a license or enter an existing purchase code.

Hi limyauboon,

Layer Slider don’t allow us to give customers our license number, so on each premium plugin such as Visual Composer, Revolution Slider and Layer Slider update we release a new update to our theme with the latest version of that plugin included, and customers don’t need to worry about that,

You never need to buy any premium plugins that comes with our theme

Hi there,

We recently purchsed your awesome theme.

I’m looking for a setup similiar (mianly the front page) to the “Dark” Skin

http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium;skin=main-dark

Any guidance on where I woud be able to find the content/sliders for that skin.

Kind regards,

Hi Ed,

To get the exact look of this theme you’ll need to install a demo content pack located in Laborator > Demo Content Install and all the content/style of the dark skin will be imported.

Hi, My site records a fatal error each time I try to install the Kalium theme . It seems to occur when I am installing the plug-ins. 1. The error message reads: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 102 bytes) in /home/oct49852/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 108 2. I contacted my provider and despite increasing the memory limit on my account, they were unable to fix the issue. My website: http://octant.com.au Thanks!

Hi octantdesign,

Please check if you have Minimum PHP Configuration Limits

You can check them with the help of this plugin Host PHP Info

A few users had this problem and they solved by increasing their PHP limits on their server :)

Should’ve browsed your comments – I figured it out now. However, there is another issue. The update added “Shop” to my menu bar, however it’s not displayed in the Menu options under Appearances. Do you know why?

Hi pkobak,

Glad to hear that you fixes the issue by updating the premium plugins, specially Visual Composer.

The Shop appears on the top bar of the Wordpress only when you have the WooCoomerce installed, it is a feature that the latest version of Wordpress added, and not related to the theme.

So if you are not using shop on your site, you can deactivate that plugin.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi there,

Thanks for this great theme! It’s working very well for my company. However, I’m having trouble with top right category links on the portfolio pages.

For example, on this page, http://dev.nicethink.co/portfolio-category/film/ clicking any other category (i.e. print, web, gathering) takes me to a faulty url rather than the category landing page.

Could you please advise how to fix this?

Thanks, Jasmin

jc@nicethink.co

Hi Arlind, Thanks for letting me know. I’m looking forward to the theme update next week.

I have another question about the site on mobile and ipad.

On mobile (namely iPhone 6) none of my images are loading. On my homepage (http://dev.nicethink.co/) none of the project thumbnails are loading and in each project page (such as http://dev.nicethink.co/portfolio/taste-williamsburg-greenpoint/), only text appears, but no media.

On iPad, the images load, however videos do not play. (http://dev.nicethink.co/portfolio/campfire-rit-dye/)

Please advise – as you can imagine, it’s pertinent this is resolved before we take our site live, and we’d like to do that asap!

Thanks! Jasmin

jc@nicethink.co

Hi Arlind,

I was able to resolve the image issue by deleting and reinstalling the theme.

However, I’m still having an issue with YouTube videos playing on both iPhone and iPads. Let me know how to fix this!

Thanks, Jasmin jc@nicethink.co

Hi Jasmin

We are aware of this issue and we are going to include a fix for it.

I guess there is an issue with the library we use to parse video called VideoJS so today I am going to take a deeper look at it and find the fix.
