Hi, I’ve a question related to the revolutionary slider plugin. It’s very easy to set in a normal post using shortcodes, but I find impossible to set in my home page (a portfolio page). I’m trying to do the same idea as you in the main demo. I’ll be very grateful if you could help me. Thanks.

Hi there,

The way we have used it in our Main Demo homepage is with Visual Composer elements, for the homepage don’t set the Page Template to Portfolio, simply leave it to Default.

Add elements with Visual Composer, add the Revolution Slider and then add the Portfolio Items, you can leave the Portfolio page as separate and this will only be used for the homepage to show the most recent portfolio items.

I hope I was clear enough.

Hello – I uploaded your theme to my existing wp blog and also changed the blog page to my homepage – http://www.bebart.com The thumbnails are not showing my images, just a gray box…. Reading previous comments, I installed the regenerate thumbnails plugin, but have not ran it yet. How do I get my images to show in the thumbnails? Thank you for your help.

Hi bebartist,

Can you please post with the account you bought the theme, this way we can verify that you’re a real customer as we do not offer support to users who doesn’t have “Purchased” badge.

Hi Laborators, Just update to the lastest version of the theme and of wordpress 4.4, and I met several problems :

1. all my portfolio thumbnails have disappeared. Also, in portfolio page, all my media disappeared.

2. the sticky menu doesn’t opened.

My website : www.duofluo.com

Thanks a lot for your help. ( if you speak french it’s better ;) )

hi Ylli I’ve updated the theme to the version 1.8.5 and we still have the same issues : 1. the mailjet plugin doesn’t work and hide all the media on the website 2. the custom css previously mentionned doesn’t applied Thanks for your feedback.

Hi laborator The mailjet plugin had an update and the issue is solved. At least, we just have the custom css problems before ending our website. Thanks for your reply

Hi duofluo,

1— So it was the problem on the mailjet plugin and not on our theme.

2— The Custom CSS works but 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 :)

pre sale question: it doesnt work on my iphone 5, it keep loading even after 3 hours + i tried on desktop too and i was wondering if there is a option available to load more in home page without being redirected but stay on the home page ?

Hi there,

These settings are optional, you can set them how you want in the Revolution Slider settings. Also the button is for taking you to an external page, you can do the option you want to load more items by using the Portfolio page.

hi, i know Revolution Slider and in my knowledge if i am not wrong there is not font size setting for mobile separated of desktop, is it right ? If that is the case, i will still need to make sure the text on mobile can be read.

What about the slow loading of the home page, is it caused by the video size itself or the site ? because i test other video theme and they load much faster. I just want to make sure i wont pay and get stuck with these issues

Hi there,

Every video slider will load slowly, mostly these with a timing like our video. Most of the themes in their demo use a server optimization to speed up the demo page and look like it is faster than it really is. It depends on the size of the video and the player put in the theme, in this case the Revolution Slider, it is the best slider plugin that’s why we included it in our theme.

Hello, I still need some help in two aspects:

1. I need some help with this thing on the nivo lightbox, that keeps opening all the time. I had disabled the nivo lightbox with this code you gave me

.image-slide.nivo.slick-slide { pointer-events: none; cursor: default; }

and since I’ve actualized to the new version of the theme it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve tried also through new theme options and it does not work in my case. How can I do to disable it?

2. Also I have had to reconfigure ALL PAGES that I created through visual composer because all spaces and gaps in between columns, rows and images where all changed, Is this normal? is that means everytime I actualize I will have to remake the pages? What has happened with the spaces?

Also in your demos spaces look different now… http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/services-2/ http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/about-me/

Thank you!! Cecilia.

Hi cseguramora,

Now i understand you what the problem is, the truth is that the Visual Composer 4.9 added this CSS

.vc_column_container {
    padding-left: 0px;
    padding-right: 0px;
}

that broke the layout of lot of themes that where created with Bootstrap, including Kalium.

Yesterday we noticed it and fixed this on our live Demos with this simple CSS, until the Visual Composer pushes an update with this bug fixed.

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.vc_column_container {
    padding-left: 15px !important;
    padding-right: 15px !important;
}

and tell us if that fixes your site too.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thank you!!! Now is gone back to normal… i feel much better now…

Hi cseguramora,

Glad to hear that :)

Hello, Before buying Kalium or Oxygen, I would like more informations. Kallium theme is really « architected » for sale with Woocommerce, or is it better to choose Oxygen theme ?

- I sell second-hand vintage clothes therefore one single copy. On my current theme I do a custom CSS I think it’s the same for yours themes.

- I wish use free Megamenu plugin but not the UberMenu, that the two themes it is compatible with this add-on.

- also the themes are they ready for translation into French or not ?

thank you for your replies. best regards

thank you for your very quick response ! i appreciated for mega menu, personally I love because it gives a clear vision of choice. I can only encourage you to make your own megamenu… Yet I saw that there in Aurum theme. I come to you to buy it Best regards

Hi there,

Aurum has the UberMenu but the authors of this plugin do not allow to import/export the menu and to re-create the menu for a normal user is a bit messy even though I recorded a step-by-step video to do this.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi thank you for all your very clear answers So you advise me to take the Kalium theme, as I told you I sell only clothes I have to edit the CSS and WooCommerce_mod. I will certainly not be wrong because I’m not professional WP but I can manage on my own ;) I have the theme Abundance, I liked a lot, but it is not reponsive more update … best regards Clo

Hi there, I just purchased the theme and try to recreate some things that I really loved in your demo. Maybe you can hint me to the right spot.

1) I’m trying to put a full background video in via the Slider Revolution, though it seems like the header is always seperated. In my settings I followed every instructions so far: it’s a linked vimeo which works, and it’s full screen without any containers. I’m clueless here.

2) I was trying to customize the font. I would like to increase the line spacing of the main copy. I’m still on the default font (Karla) of the Laborator settings. I tried to increase it with the word press style settings (didn’t work) and finally I got myself into the CSS sheet (bootstrap.css) and tried customize the code:

body { font-family: “Karla”, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; color: #333333; background-color: #fff;

(I also have to say, I’m a total noob at coding, so I’m pretty much following other comments) So far my attempts didn’t work.

3) I love your Auto Type demo, where you have a partial background beneath the text and inverted type color. I tried to recreate that, figured out that it’s somewhere in the CSS to do that. But I can’t really manage to do it. Could you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi roentgen81

1. To make the video full screen on page follow these steps:

When editing page choose Header Position to Absolute:

http://drops.laborator.co/VHDt

Also make sure slide layout is set to Full-Screen:

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

2. Please apply Custom CSS in our designated page for Custom Styling as shown here, for example:

body, p { 
    font-family: “Karla”, Arial, sans-serif !important;
    font-size: 15px !important;
    line-height: 1.7 !important;
    color: #333333;
    background-color: #fff;
}

3. To add that partial background apply the following markup in your Auto Type Content field:

Clear thinking at the
wrong moment can stifle <span class="block">*imagination;inspiration;talent;creativity*</span>

As shown here: http://drops.laborator.co/1iLeu

Hopefully this helps you.

Best regards

Hey :-) I have bought this great theme and I like it very much!!! But now I have a question about w3c check. I typed in my domain (http://dreamstyle.photos/) and the w3c shows me some errors, how could I go ahead to fix the problems? I would like to reduce the errors because the ranking on google will be better then. Everything on the page works as the way I like it and I didn’t want to destroy something … so could you give me an advice please? Yours faithfully Felix

Hi Felix,

We are professional programmers with 8+ experience on the web development area, so you don’t need to worry about W3C, the errors can come from plugins too, because most of the times they are programmed not on the best way.

W3C also can’t inspect Wordpress sites, they are more to test the plain HTML sites, and your site is a Wordpress one.

If we see any errors that come from our theme, we will fix them through the theme updates :)

I will need a page with a down load of an e-book. Could I do that from this template? Would support help me add this function?

Hi there,

You can easily do that by using the portfolio or the shop functionality, we are here to help you anytime for any problem you may have with the theme :)

I have a couple suggestions this time… The ability to duplicate portfolio items including all the custom stuff as I like the same layout for each item and don’t like having to copy and paste it all. Also the ability to hide the title of a portfolio item. (as i’m using clients logo’s instead of titles.)

Hi there,

To duplicate the post you can use this plugin, it will duplicate any post with the same custom stuff.

Regarding the second question, can you post a link of the page where this is happening.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi there,

I want to update kalium theme version, but before doing this I would like to know do I lose all contents and others specificity of my portfolio? Thank you

Hi there,

By updating the theme you won’t loose anything, you will loose only the customization if you’ve edited the core files of the theme.

Kind Regards,
Art

I have a problem with the custom logo. I installed the default demo content, but If I change the logo in the menù area, after a while, the logo I uploaded changes in in the demo logo. It doesn’t matter if I set this option in the homepage or in ThemeOptions/Header and menù. The provenance of the wrong logo (if I look on my published page) is the following: http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/logo-transparent@2x1.png

Here is an image of the problem: http://www.dariofantini.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/problem.jpg

Thank you K.

ok, ok I give you 5 stars for your tenacity and kidness ;) Have a nice day to you too! K.

Hi KotoBoy,

Thank you very much, you made my day :)

Enjoy Kalium, and remember, if you need any help from us, just write us on our comment section.

Hello there, this theme goes better and better, but I have a question, is it a know bug that “scroll to top” doesn’t appear on websites?

Update : it’s ok with 1.8.2 version !

Hi Marcusal,

Glad to hear that :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi Marcusal,

Hope that you are well :)

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, 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, have a nice day :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Hi Laborators! Thank you for this smart theme. Good work! I really got along very well with it. Now I am confused: after having updated to 1.8 the Design>Theme Options screen looks strange. The list of subjects (Branding, Header and Menu…) is still on the left side, but the corresponding content fell to the buttom of the page, underneath the list. Is this meant like this? I hope not. I am working under Firefox last version and Chrome (forelast version). Thanx for your answer! Katrin

Hi Katrin,

You are using an old version of our theme (1.8) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8.1), please update theme first and this problem will be solved.

It happened when Wordpress 4.4 was released, and we immediately fixed this and pushed a new update to Kalium :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi!

Very pleased by the new updates and patches. Thank you.

Have a question – How to disable mobile version of the website? Required to mobile phone the website looked like on a PC.

Hi there,

You cannot disable the responsiveness of the theme, many users required this before but it is so complicated and you will loose the customizations in every update.

Kind Regards,
Art

How do i install the update?

Hi there,

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 :)

I just updated to the latest version of the theme and Wordpress. I’m getting the white space at the bottom of my revolution slider. I checked the box in visual composer to eliminate the bottom space and I’ve tried setting the margin to 0px, even -20px and nothing seems to make a difference.

Your help would be greatly appreciated : ) zoepdx.com (see the issue below the slider on my landing page)

Hi there,

We have changed/added this feature with a tick now, when editing the row settings there is a place to “tick” to disable the margin bottom, see screenshot:

http://drops.laborator.co/1d0WO

Kind Regards,
Art

I understand that, and I have that box checked and I am still getting the space. : (

Hi,

I have a problem with LayerSlider: if I try to authorize the plug-in inserting the purchase code of Kalium the answer is: “Failed to set up automatic updates”, how can I do? I miss something?

Thank you K

Hi, I like your theme and would like to buy it.

Just wanted to ask few things before buying it:

1. Can I get tutorial about how to edit and install this theme? 2. Can I do it with zero knowledge of wordpress and codes? 3. I need it for my small business in Dubai – Can I change the background moving video clips to the one I made in Dubai? 4. Would you provide any help in redeveloping it as per my requirements?

Thanks & Regards,

Ali

Hi Ali,

Here you have all the documentation of the theme where you can read and watch video tutorials on how to install it.

You can change the content and videos to anything you want, the ones in the demo are just to show off how the theme works and everything is replaceable :)

Kind Regards,
