Hi again: is it possible to change top menu order so that the menu would on right? As I have the menu hamburger on right that would make the menu close to the hamburger and no need to drive mouse from right to left.

Hi HannuT,

You can do that only with Custom CSS, if you want to do this just write us on this comment your site URL.

Hi HannuT,

I’m sorry but i thought that you are using Fullscreen menu, because this is not possible.

Hope for your understanding.

Hi, Author. I have an issue with Autoplay Vimeo and youtube. Even turned on the autoplay, auto loop option, but it doesn’t work at all. Updated 1.8.2 how can i solve it?

Hi 10pixel,

Can you please write URL of this exact page here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have possible solution.

Hi. When I downloaded the demo content of this theme a couple of weeks ago, the main page had custom js that allowed the logo to change- get smaller as well as change to white (just another image file), and the hamburger menu also changed to white as the video began. Is it possible to have that code so I can install it? I really liked this effect, and it’s no longer available.

Hi there,

Go to the Slider Settings and in the Custom JavaScript, paste the script below: http://pastebin.com/v8UGQXzH

P.S. Make sure you replace the revapi and the image sources too.

Hi Laborator,

If i switch on the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, i get this error when i see a prewiev in any category (page, portfolio, etc.): “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 130968 bytes)”. I’dont believe it’s just a php limit problem, if 256MB is not enough for the site.

Hello Laborator! I have a question about your wonderful Kalium theme. I would like to make my portfolio website “retina-ready”, and I want to do this in the most efficient way. Could you give me any advice about the best ways to do this? Maybe the best sizes of image files to upload, or any other tips? Do I need to add any extra code to make this happen (eg., the WordPress plugin “WP Retina 2x”, or the “retina.js” script)? Any advice you can give, or point me to, would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi gmartingould,

We have Retina screens too, and we care for the resolution sizes and speed of this site too.

The truth is that if you want to do your images ultra crisp, you need to sacrifice your site speed.

And if you want to make your site very fast you need to make images more compressed and smaller.

So if you want to make your images 30% more crisp, please download those 2 files

functions.php and replace it on the kalium folder

laborator_thumbnails.php

also paste this new file there too.

Then you need to regenerate thumbnails by following these steps:

1. Go to Plugins > Add New

2. Search for “Regenerate Thumbnails” (created by Alex Mills)

3. Install and activate that plugin.

4. Go to Tools > Regen. Thumbnails

5. Click “Regenerate All Thumbnails” button and let the process to finish till it reaches 100 percent.

Hurray, now your images appear crisper :)

Hi guys,

Great theme – thanks for the hard work. However, there’s a slight issue with the portfolio slider, inside a portfolio item’s page. Photos can be taller than the view port and they don’t scale down to fit, making the slider virtually unusable.

http://silvianistor.ro/portfolio/apartament-colentina/

I can’t just resize the photos, because the problem would just show up again on a screen with a different resolution.

Any ideas on how to work around this? Any setting I’m missing in the admin?

Thanks!

Hi mateipavel,

Thank you very much for your kind words :)

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.slick-initialized .slick-slide {
  max-height: 500px !important;
}

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .portfolio-images-slider.is-finished img {
  width: auto;
  max-height: 500px !important;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}

.single-portfolio-holder.portfolio-type-3 .gallery-slider .gallery-item {
  max-height: 500px !important;
}

.image-placeholder img {
  width: auto !important;
  max-height: 500px !important;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hello,

I updated the theme but I still have a problem with the photos and videos.When scrolling, they stay on top and aren’t covered by the menu. Example here:

http://graduation.fr/private/portfolio/new-york/

Thank you

Hi there,

It seems to be working for me and my other colleagues, we tested it in different devices, all the photos are shown normally.

Hi there, I’ve been looking through the discussions here to solve to small things I would like to change on the side.

1) I’m using the burger menue which pops out as a single line. Is it possible to push the burger menue and the typ down a little bit? I’d like to align it with my logo font.

2) I like how you created a little padding in the overlay of the team elements in your agency demo. also the overlay seems a bit more transparent. Is it possible to change just the color of the element too?

Thank you! Flo

Hi Ylli, cerntainly will do.

1– Unfortunately the problem has been popped back up again. For some reason the menu has jumped back to it’s old position. But I also noticed earlier that the animation (out of the burger) is fine, though when you close it, it sorta glitches back in it’s old position. Anyway, now it seems back to the top, though I didn’t fiddle with the code :( Maybe you have any helpful suggestions? I just tried to copy your code in again, but that didn’t work.

also:

2– The sticky menue has a little glitch when you start scrolling down. It actually doesn’t stay to the top, but has a little gap on top.

Thank you!

Hi roentgen81,

1— I just did that for you :)

2— This is happening because you have activated Page borders and this looks right when you are logged in from the WP Dashboards, if you want to remove that spacing can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.main-header.is-sticky.sticky-active {
    top: 0px !Important;
}

Kind Regards,

Hi! I just purchased the ‘Kalium’ theme and want to load it on a test Wordpress site just to play around with it, and learn how it works, before I load it onto the final site. Is this possible or can i only load it onto one (final) site, without testing it before?

Hi there,

For testing purposes you can use the theme in different sites before launching it, but using one license for two sites is not allowed. You can continue and work on your test site without any problem :)

Hi guys, I cannot update Kalium theme through Envato Toolkit plugin. I have the latest version of plugin ( http://c2n.me/3rEFQCt.png ) and all my credentials are correct because all other my bought themes show correct versions and options to update ( http://c2n.me/3rEFGyS.png ) Please help me to solve this problem so I would have not to laboriuosly update theme manually every time. Thanks, Alex.

Hello-

I purchased the Kalium them today and I’m having some trouble getting it up and running. I have installed the theme and have applied the “demo content” however all of the images that I add turn gray. I assumed that when i add my own content it should display correctly. Any advice on where to start/tutorials that I can read just to get my site up?

the site is philwindyk.com

Hi philwindyk,

Those are not images, your site has some problems because it is not getting all the scripts, and for that it is not showing images.

Thank you so much! I was soooo frustrated and you totally saved me from many more hours of pain! Thanks again for being very responsive.

Hi philwindyk,

Glad to hear that, and we are happy that your problem is solved now :)

We understand that troubleshooting such issues can be frustrating at times. Try to stay calm, and if you need help you can always write us a question here on this thread.

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) :)

Happy Holidays :)

Why does my logo switch out after a few seconds to the Kalium… how do I stop that from happening.

Hi DanCastello,

That logo it’s on Revolution Slider settings, you can learn how to remove that by seeing those images:

Click your slider Settings icon: (view large version)

Then remove this code from the “Custom JavaScript” area: (view large version)

I have to admit, for $59 and almost 4,000 sales, I was expecting alot more from this theme than what I got. There is no way of adding a sidebar to single blog pages (seriously?). No way of adjusting font sizes without code. Very disappointed.

Hi there,

Kalium is a theme that we’re working on every day to make it better and better, until now we have added a lot of features that were not possible in the beginning and that’s thanks to our users who were suggesting new features for our theme, we’re thankful to all of them.

The features you are talking about are not possible yet, they are in the to-do list but we had more priorities for the portfolio than the Blog because most of the users are portfolio oriented, it will be added soon in the upcoming updates together with many other features.

We have not advertised something inexistent in our theme, every theme has it’s own pros and cons, so Kalium is better in some features the other themes are not and vice versa, also for 59$ you can get also any default ordinary theme with the same price and without the support we offer, these 4000 clients that helped us build this theme together can’t be so wrong.

Hi there,

I’m having an issue with playing video that is within a Portfolio single item ON MOBILE. It works fine on Desktop, but on iOS 9.2 Safari, it’s not working. I press the “play” icon over top of the video, and nothing happens.

http://thewowsound.com/our-work/the-woodshed-orchestra-guest-book/

I’ve even changed the video player to “default YouTube player”, but it still doesn’t work on iOS 9.2.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Lafac

Can you please download this file:

http://drops.laborator.co/thRj+

And replace it here:

wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/laborator/laborator-acf-grouped-metaboxes

And tell us if that fixes your issue?

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Yes, that fixed it! I tested on a PAGE and PORTFOLIO POST. Thanks!

Hi yummyrec,

Glad to hear that :)

Hello. I have a pretty simple question. I want to edit the page demo.kaliumtheme.com/architecture/our-work but it doesn’t exist in the demo installation. How can make it by myself?, using the visual composer? specifically about adding the “categories” on the upper right side and the image of each project for said categories?

Hi there,

The theme isn’t built with Visual Composer, we have simply set the Page Template to Portfolio and then set up the Portfolio settings in the Theme Options

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me out with the following – Kalium – woocommerce – related issue. I enabled the Woocommerce plugin, all works except 1 issue with ticking the ” I’ve read terms and conditions” box in Chrome + Safari.

I have enabled in the Woocommerce settings > checkout > terms + conditions > Checkout. This provides a thick box in latest version of Mozilla, however in Chrome and Safari nothing is shown. This is a rather huge problem since customers can not complet their order, since they are forced to accept.

At the moment I disabled it, but I would like to activate it as soon as possible. Wordpress version: 4.4 Woocommerce version: 2.4.12 Kalium version 1.6.1

Thanks in advance,

Best, Lian

Hi Lian,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.6.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8.2), 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

Thank you Jill,

How can I make sure I don’t loose all my custom settings? I’ve done an update before and then again I have to re-customize all my settings (fonts, colors etc.) I’m a bit scared updating it right now…

Hi Jill,

This should not happen if you upgrade the theme through the Envato Toolkit plugin as i mentioned, Theme Options, Custom CSS, and your page options will not loose :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli
