Hello,

My pages content do not show up anymore, though I didn’t touch anything in the code. Ex: http://newton-mag.com/maisonclose/contact-3/

Thank you

Hi aliecoco,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.4.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8), 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.

We won’t be able to provide support for outdated versions.

We want you to experience the best we have to offer while keeping your site safe.

Staying updated is the way to do it!

Kind Regards,

My gifs doesn’t play, it just links it to new window then it plays. How do I solve this? Much appreciated

Hi GKrok

Can you please send me the URL of your page, then I can see what its the issue.

Also consider updating the theme, because new version of Kalium has been released and it may solve any of bugs you may encounter.

Thanks

For the portfolio items I use the ‘side portfolio’ item type. The ‘Read More Tag’ in the text field does not work. How can I enable this tag? On a mobile phone there appears a lot of text before the images and I want to change that, so that the images come first. Judith

Hi Arlind, Thanks a lot! It works very well. I guess I have to add the code again after a theme update? Judith

Hi Judith,

We will see if we can add this feature for the other users.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

That would be nice. Thanks. Judith

Hi there

Just a quick question, I have attempted to create a new website with the Kalium template I purchased though the template seems to have a lot of the items missing.

I am not sure if I have uploaded the files correctly.

I downloaded the kalium.zip file.

Could you kindly inform me how to do this?

Regards

Hi benshaman

Portfolio items only appear when they have featured image, so please add featured image for your items and they will appear in your portfolio page.

Kind Regards,
Arlind

Hello!

How I can add a map to a post?

I try this adding a map in visual composer and then a location, but in the post only shows ”<script type=”text/javascript”> var labVcMaps = labVcMaps || []; labVcMaps.push({ id: ‘el_5660161254e93’, locations: .........

You can check this here http://capellamallorquina.com/maps/

Works fine inside a post but fails at blog page http://capellamallorquina.com/noticias/

What can we do?

I can put the label “more” just before the map and so I can make a workaround for this. :\

Thanks

Hi

After viewing this post I saw that the map is showing:

http://drops.laborator.co/EKbR

Can you tell me how you try to put the shortcode which doesn’t work normally?

Hello,

I don’t know how to set video as featured image for blog as shown in your demo. I did the following: create post – type: video – Add media from url: Youtube link. The video appears under the h1 and it is not showing up in the masonry posts.

This happens with Youtube only, Vimeo shows up o.k.

Hi woerdhvd,

Can you please write us your site URL here on comments first?

P.S: I saw that you have created some other tickets, can you please try to add all your questions in one thread, because in this way is easy for us to understand what you have done and what is left, also is would be easy for you to post in one thread :)

Kind Regards,

The error logo unchanged. In the Theme settings, but uploading a new logo, As the slide is running discard changes to the existing logo.

Hi odman,

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)

Kind Regards,

Hi again,

I’m trying to make feature images on single blog posts full width, as documented here: http://documentation.laborator.co/kb/kalium/blog-kalium/single-post-image-options/

I cannot enable the full width despite selecting “Full Width” in the theme options. Do you have suggestions?

In case it matters, I also had trouble enabling the feature image to show at all. Only a blank grey box appeared until I added your custom code from this support board.

Here’s the code: body { } .single-blog-holder .blog-head-holder img { filter: alpha(opacity=1) !Important; -webkit-opacity: 1 !Important; -moz-opacity: 1 !Important; opacity: 1 !Important; } .single-blog-holder .blog-head-holder .thumb>a, .single-blog-holder .blog-head-holder>a { pointer-events: none !important; }

Here’s the URL I’m trying to fix: http://jo-shin.com/ibusiness-the-web-wired-world/

Thanks!

Hi jo_shindig

To show full width image for your blog posts (all) on theme options set this setting:

http://drops.laborator.co/1c7FQ

If you want for a specific post only, then on Edit post page and set from this metabox:

http://drops.laborator.co/16sNb

To show fullwidth featured image behind the menu set this option:

http://drops.laborator.co/LFT3

P.S. The custom snippet you added will be no longer needed as v1.8 of Kalium contains these fixes.


Arlind

Thanks for the feedback, Arlind.

I had already set the theme level option for full width, but it didn’t trigger unless I set the “Full Width” on the post level. Seems like a bug?

I’ve followed all the steps you recommended and the posts now look the way I like it. Thank you!

Hi jo_shindig

Did the new update fixed those issues and is everything fine with your site?


Arlind

Also I’m wondering If theres a way to put icons in the “services” checklist on the individual portfolio page?

I was able to write in HTML for this one. Just put it all in minify type writing and it worked. I was not however able to do that with the zig zag description as it’s counting it as visually writing instead of text writing. Any ideas?

Hi

To add an icon in services checklist simply use this syntax:

<i class="fa {icon-class}" />

Where {icon-class} can be found in this reference:

https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

Just type: “fa fa-arrows” and it should show the arrows icon.

The same form can be used on Zig Zag portfolio item type.


Arlind

Is there a way to put an icon right next to a header? I can’t seem to find a way to do it.

Hi artisticpuppy,

So you want to put the icon on the menu?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

No, in the zigzag page where the description goes. I was wanting to put an icon next to a “header” basically i need either Visual Composer enabled for that space or the text editor so I can write it out in html

Hi artisticpuppy,

Can you please write URL of this exact page where you plan to make this here on comments first?

Can you please try to be very specific about the question and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello, a question: when i upload a featured image in a blogpost the image is shown darker in the media library and in the thumbs in the masonry blog. When i add a image that is uploaded in ‘media’ the colors are correct.

Your demo: http://themes.laborator.co/#theme=kalium shows no darken images. How can i upload from the post without darkening?

Best regards,

Hans

Glad to hear that :)

Yes, but it’s a strange bug. It means that for every image the profile needs to be checked and/or changed. For me this is not a big thing but for my customer who does not have any knowledge about profiles it’s a problem.

Hi there,

You’re right about it, we will check what we can do about this cause you’re not the only user who reported this.

Kind Regards,

Apologies if this is a redundant post.

I’m using a Kalium Child Theme, and I’ve found that my CSS (added on the WP Custom CSS page) is very sensitive to the order of attributes, to the point that some Rule Sets have no effect if they’re placed below others. I’ve been wondering if anyone else has had this issue; I’ve never run into this with a style sheet before. I also have to follow every declaration with !important for them to have any effect.

Additionally, I’m using the following Rules to style the header links:

header.main-header { font-family: ‘Open Sans Condensed’, Raleway, Sans-serif !important; font-size: 18px !important; letter-spacing: 1px !important; }

header.main-header.sticky-active { font-family: ‘Open Sans Condensed’, Raleway, Sans-serif !important; font-size: 16px !important; letter-spacing: 1px !important; }

All the Declarations are effective, except font-size, and I can’t figure out why.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi JC

The issue with “ordering” css rules is because we use “Less” css compiler to create the CSS, so this way we style each element specifically. In order to not set an ”!important” declaration for each rule you must firstly open Inspect Element and see which one is the last rule applied to current element, then copy that CSS and apply with your own new value.

I suggest you to put Custom CSS in admin menu link, not in Appearance > Editor (style.css)

As for font size, please apply that rule to the full path of element, because in your case it is very general rule:

header.main-header.sticky-active {...}

Instead do this form:

header.main-header.sticky-active ul li a {...}

This will work for you.

Best regards


Arlind

Thanks! LESS is outside my skill-set so I was unaware of its effect on order in CSS.

The correction for the header selector works, thank you!

Best, JC

Hi jcloewe,

Glad ti hear that :)

Slider Revolution Issue

I have slide show named ‘hot slide show’ on my hompage, created by Slider Revolution. The problem is that it says” Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias ‘hot slide show’not found.

Did I not link it correctly? I thought I did when creating the slider. thanks.

Hi there,

That’s weird. when you create the slide and then go to the page what you need to do is just add it.

You can send us your WP credentials on email. We need to investigate your problem and then get back to you with possible solution.

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.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi antonyjames99

This is weird issue, wasn’t reported here before so I am not aware what could possibly cause this!

You may be mistakenly typing the slider alias so make sure you are copying the slider shortcode from this field:

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

Or even better if you choose it via Visual Composer.

Tell me if this works for you. Thanks


Arlind

Hello, how I can put target=”_blank” on social links? Thanks!

Hi iPiti,

This option is coming next week with the release of the Kalium 1.8 :)

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.

(view large version)

Then you can update your theme through Envato Toolkit Plugin (learn how) :)

Hi. Please check our site on mobile… the menu icon doesn’t work…please give us a quick fix for this.. such as it it possible to just show all menu links at the top?

barbheller.com

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT THEME! We love it except that the mobile view isn;t as smooth as we would have liked,,,

what browser are you using on your phone? I am using chrome on a samsung phone. I couldn’t load anything. it looks like this- please see image attahed..

Is there a code to show all the menu at top on mobile instead of clicking on the three bars?? i think that is the one causing the issue. thank you.

Hi there,

It seems weird, we tested it in Chrome and Safari using iPhone 6S and it works fine on both of the browsers, is it happening only in the homepage or in other pages also.

Kind Regards,
Art

Good afternoon, When updating the theme I saw that the tags have been removed and although not shown in the portfolio used for taxonomy. I have pages created to show only projects involving the specified tag, but no longer works for me. Please, could you tell me how you can work without having to create them as categories or you can re-enable? Thank you, Victor

Hi Victor

Sure you can enable tags again, I just made them hidden, please copy this code to bring them back:

remove_filter( 'portfolioposttype_tag_args', 'portfolioposttype_tag_args_remove_tags_column' );

Add it to functions.php file (in the end), it should work fine.

Best regards


Arlind

Perfect!!! Thanks!!!

Glad to hear that :)

Cheers!

dear team i have purchased the theme 2 months ago, i love it although i.m not really familiar with some of the options i need to release it this week but still don´t know how to change the layer slider, i need to upload new videos to my home page substituting the original ones from the main demo page but i don´t succeed. my videos are .mov, is that the problem? can i get assistance? thank you so much kindest regards albena

Hi Albena,

The LayerSlider plugin is a plugin we have implemented in the theme and it’s not built by us, it is better to read their documentation or ask them directly,

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi!

- Is it possible to have two lines instead of one below the thumbnails on the portfolio homepage? The second line would feature the projet description. Thank you

Hi there,

Unfortunately that’s not possible, you can only show the categories as second line.

Kind Regards,
Art

Dear sir, miss. I have a little problem: Laborator loads an request for http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/AuthenticationService..., /common.js, /util.js and /stats.js on a website of a client of mine.. The problem is that it loads in the 6th or 8th second, which is not ok. Might this be a bug? Can you tell me what the code is to kill the google maps api portion for a child theme’s theme functions? I found a clue in laboratory_actions.php, rule 77 Thank you in advance. Have a nice day! – Reinier

Hi Reinier,

So have you solved this problem?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi, I have installed Kalium Theme on my web site and I have set the page coming soon mode, but I don’t found how to modify the background color of this page. Please, can you tell me how to change the color background of the page coming soon mode? Thank you Best regards

Ok, thank you.

Solved, thanks. Kind Regards.

Glad to hear that :)
