Hi I was trying to do this steps, but changes doesn’t appear immediately. What do you recommend? Is this necessary? How I do this? .....just move the backup files you previously saved to the same languages directory and your changes will still be applied.

Thank you!

To translate/rename theme strings, you can do this via Loco Translate plugin. If you don’t have this plugin, please install and activate it in your WordPress site.

1. Then go to Loco Translate > Manage Translations

2. Click “New Language” for the current active theme (if you didn’t created it yet, otherwise ignore this step). On the new language page, choose these options – click here http://d.pr/i/1ewoc

3. After that you will be redirected to the editing screen for theme translations. Before you continue make sure this is true – click here http://d.pr/i/18h0w

4. Follow these instructions to learn how to translate strings – http://d.pr/i/1jsek

5. The changes will be applied immediately – http://d.pr/i/1ju6w

Note: Translation files will be saved to wp-content/themes/{theme-name}/languages folder. Here you have the explanation – http://d.pr/i/1lBCJ

After you make your changes, always save a backup when there is new theme update. After you update the theme (languages folder will be replaced), just move the backup files you previously saved to the same languages directory and your changes will still be applied.

Hi mediolimon

I see that you have updated the theme and now want to have translations updated as well. Here is what you need to do. I suppose you have Loco Translate plugin installed already.

So the backup files you have previously saved from:

wp-content/themes/kalium/languages/

Lets say you have es_ES.po and es_ES.mo files, just move those files to that directory. Then go to Loco Translate click Kalium theme PO edit language link and then in hit the Sync button as shown here:

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

This should work for you.


Arlind

Hi, I tried to follow this steps but still nothing happen. I have this es_SV.mo files at the same file: http://d.pr/i/13Fg3

Then I click on sync as you shown me. What else can I do?

Hi mediolimon

If that is not working for you, then I could take a look at it. I will need your WordPress + FTP details to login and test language files. Also attach your translated file es_SV.mo and es_SV.po in your email and send them to info at laborator dot co

how do bigger the font? www.holamac.com

I am looking for videos on youtube, to inform me of “custom CSS” to change the text size, but I find nothing

Hi there,

You can change the text color and titles using the Laborator > Theme Options > Theme Styling to change the colors and settings.

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 woodandmood,

We saw that you have rated our theme Kalium with 4 stars, and there was not any reason why you think that our theme deserves low rating.

Can you please tell us what problem do you have with our theme? As you see we are continuously updating Kalium with new features, updates, compatibility issues with other plugins and other things even that it has been time that we created this theme.

When any client rates us with low stars we think that it will not contribute so much on our product improvement.

We kindly ask you if you can increase your rating on our theme.

If not, at least tell us what we need to improve to make our product more sophisticated to meet your needs.

Hope that you will reply us soon :)

Kind Regards,

Firstly, thanks for a great theme.

I am using Kalium for at Photographers site and use the Google Map feature for contacts. The map markers can show title and description on click. I would like to have active www and mailto links in the description. I am sure manu others would too, since this is an often used feature out there on the interweb. Plain text urls and mailto are not parsed and activated and if I add A href the entire description field contents is stripped out.

How can I achieve this?

Hi joenweidemann

I saw this was a bug in our theme so I have managed to fix it. For you here is the quick fix:

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

2. Replace it in this directory: /wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/vc/lab_google_map/

3. Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/10Vdo+

4. Replace the downloaded file in this directory: /wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/

This fix will be added also in the next update, so I gave to you if you need it immediately.

When the update it’s ready you will receive an email if you have enabled “Get notified by email if this item is updated” from your Downloads tab.

Can you help me set up the shop page(s)? I’d like for it to be the left sidebar style and I can’t figure it out.

Hi jpirk

To setup shop pages you firstly need WooCommerce plugin installed.

Then shop pages should be installed in your Pages section like: Shop, My Account, Cart and so on. (If you don’t have these pages installed read here)

To set the sidebar on the left side, go to Theme Options > Shop Settings on Shop Loop / Listing Settings set sidebar position to the left:

http://drops.laborator.co/1l93b

After following these steps you should be able to see the shop page with left sidebar.

Hi, I am struggling with team member boxes. Added links are not clickable on the coloured boxes, only on name links and the surrounding visible thumbnail if “distanced background hover” has been opted and only on name link, if full “background hover” has been opted. I hope you understand my problem and can help!

Hi, my site displays that it is under construction even though I have ‘maintenance mode’ and ‘coming soon mode’ under the theme options disabled.

Another thing I noticed is that the construction page is not based on the style i choose in the theme styles. Hope you can help.

Hi there,

Are you sure you’re not using any 3rd party plugin that turns your site into maintenance mode.

.section-title p {
color: #000 !important;
}

.wpb_wrapper .lab-portfolio-items .portfolio-title-holder h1 {
color: #000 !important;
}

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Kalium theme. I would like my footer to look like the link below. http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio-4-col/

What i mean by this is that I would like to add some logos (images) to the footer. If you can’t see this link, it is the same to all the portfolio pages.

Thanks

Taran

Hi Taran,

You can do that by going to Appearance > Widgets and drag and drop the Instagram widget to the Footer Widgets section.

Hi Laborator Team,

We need your precious help again. In the page: “http://bfj.pt/wp/projetos/” we would like that the text (titles and categories) appear below the thumbnail images. We know that is possible because we can see it, the way we want, in other page: “http://bfj.pt/wp/blog/portfolio/”.

How can we change the settings in order to achieve this result?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Hi BFJARQUITECTOS

Sure this is an easy step for you.

So go to Theme Options > Portfolio Settings and select this option:

http://drops.laborator.co/iCS

(First one) then you can apply your own options for this layout here:

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

This will work for you.

Kind regards

Hi,

Having an issue with Favicons, I’ve uploaded a 16×16 .png and clicked ‘Save Changes’ but the Favicon won’t show at the top of the browser, see; http://postimg.org/image/9xuncffqn/

Any help would be greatly appreciated;

Note: If you login to the site please be careful not to deactivate/update or temporarily delete anything as we’ve had a custom audio footer built and any unchecked changes could break the code.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Jack Vanstone

Hi Jack,

Usually it take time until the browser realizes that you have changed the favicon, so can you please check on any other browser if the favicon logo is appearing?

Hello I tried to install your Wordpress Theme, but I always receive the same error: “theme not imported”. Can you help me to sort out why is giving me this error? for your reference I would like to point out that in the past i installed the same theme in another site for test it, and everything was perfect, then I deleted it; do you think it can be the reason of the problem because you check the instance installed?

Hi there,

Have you checked your PHP limits and see if you’re all okay with your site limits and it allows you to install the theme?

Hello Laborator team,

Again. Generally, all is going well in my work with Kalium. Still very impressed with it.

Here’s what I’ve run into. When creating a Columned portfolio page, I would like an easy way to add a title to an “Image Slider” piece, from within the admin view. It would also be great to have this option for every image within a portfolio page (rather than being forced to go into the media page and edit the image details).

Also, it should be clear to the user that this is a slider; the user can only pick up on this if they click on the image in the browser. I can’t find a solution to either of these myself.

And displaying “Share and Like Position Before Gallery” should be an option for the Carousel display, don’t you agree?

Many thanks.

Hi JC

1. This is great suggestion, so I have added it to our theme and will be available with the new update (v1.8), here is how it looks:

Backend: http://d.pr/19NrU Frontend: http://d.pr147md

So next time you don’t need to do a hardcode for it.

2. Yes you are right, but actually the title of slider is not supported. What you could do is to add some custom css to make those arrows color to look more visible (add the css in current Page Options > Custom CSS):

.slick-slider .slick-next, .slick-slider .slick-prev {
color: #000;
}

We are going to add a “HTML Block” option in the select list of gallery items you can set, so with that option append or prepend the title of slider.

3. HTML block that I suggested in the #2 may help you with this.

4. Image captions are in our todo list, so we are going to implement them to show right after or before the image.

5. (You’ve written as #4) its quite hard for us to detect an issue without knowing the replication steps, if you can tell us with a video when this happens, we may find a solution for you.

Hopefully this will help you. For your infromation the new update of our theme will be available next week.


Arlind

Thanks again!

This is helpful. I look forward to the next update. I wish I could capture a video of the problem I’ve encountered with the sticky header, but it’s just too random.

You all are great. JC

Hi jcloewe,

If you could record it and put it on dropbox or somewhere it would be nice :)

Hi, I have just purchased the Kalium Wordpress Theme. I tried uploading the theme but I receive a message saying: “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” I try again and get the same response. I am uploading the Kalium.zip file. How do I get it to upload?

Hi LCAArchitects,

Most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, PHP is configured to a maximum file upload size limit at 8 megabytes or less. The theme ZIP is about 9.5 megabytes in size. Thus, the web server is rejecting the upload. WordPress is giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme fault or bug.

There two ways to solve this problem.

1— You can either get your web host to increase your PHP limits.

2—You can upload your theme via an FTP client.

Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:

max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

For more info visit this link Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

If you need more info, please don’t hesitate to write us :)

Hi,

I have a problem with WPML plugin.

I need to translate “Custom portfolio item URL prefix” and “Portfolio header title”.

Thanks

Best regards

Hi eribertocaria

The second file I’ve sent you is used to create the ability for you to translate Portfolio listing title.

So here is the original quoted text you need to follow:

Portfolio header title can be translated with String Translation plugin so firstly download this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/17iJi+
And replace it in this directory of your host:

/wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/

Then access your portfolio page online, the strings will be registered as translatable strings and go to WPML > String Translation search for “Portfolio” header title within “kalium” text domain context and you will be able to translate it.

Please tell me if this works for you.

Kind regards


Arlind

Hi,

I think that I’m not explained well.

I want change the title tag of Portfolio Listing (<title>Portfolio</title>) and than traslate it with WPML.

Thanks!

Eriberto

Hi Eriberto

Yes thats what I’ve meant. Have you tried those steps?

Another way to create a translatable title tag of Portfolio page is here:

1. Create new Page, and assign “Portfolio Page” template.

2. Then the post title and description will be added as title tag of portfolio.

As you know, WPML allows translation of pages so you can easily do this in your case.
