Hey Guys, I have a problem with the Kalium Portfolio Carousel, It will only display the first image, the rest just don’t appear, even tho you can click the arrows back and forth.

The page I’m having trouble with is http://www.scambo.co.uk/portfolio/save-the-date/

Hi scambo1977,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.single-portfolio-holder .gallery .photo {
    float:left !important;
}

P.S: This will be fixed automatically when we release Kalium 1.8 this week :)

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 (more info) :)

Hello, we have a problem with portfolio categories on Menù (in particular the category Colors). When we select a color, after loading the new images he start to show images from other categories. How can we fix it?

Another thing we’ve noticed is that when we share a link of the site there is always the same image preview, not connected to the content of page (always the logo).

Our site is www.brashh.com

Thanks!

Hi, We have updated the theme but now there are some portfolio items that disappeared from the homepage also if they are still on the list on Wordpress. Also category filter still doesn’t work perfectly.

Regards, Erica

I found out that when I choose Normal pagination instead of Endless scroll on portfolio settings all the problems disappeared and works well. However i would prefer to use the scroll, hope you can fix it

Hi Erica

Can you please send me your site and WP credentials and FTP (via email) so I can test those issues. I need to see how these bugs are appearing.

Can I clarify something. Does wordpress or the Kalium theme dynamically resize the images for the featured and portfolio pages (e.g. not just resize but issue at a different file size). Or is it simply resizing. The reason I ask is that obviously on the opening pages if the images are not resized files sizes using smaller featured images (smaller file size) would make for a faster load.

This may all be handled very intelligently by wordpress or qualm and files are actually dynamically resized to generate smaller file sizes to download but if you can confirm before I start resizing files.

Also can you issue some guidelines on recommended image sizes for qualm for featured images and portfolios images and blog images.

thanks

If required site is gsamcd.com

Hi briancairns

First of all, WordPress handles everything with image processing. Our theme just defines the sizes of images, then its up to WordPress to crop and optimize them.

Our preferences were to make “retina” images, so each image has the size of 120% to 200% of the container they are hold. This makes images look clear on mobile devices. If your focus is not on mobile devices then you can set precise image width for cropping and this will create a “small” difference in file size.

The ones (sizes) presented in Kalium are our recommended images sizes to use with Kalium. If you wish to change specific size for a category they are used I can give you guidelines.

Best regards

Hi there!

On my home page there’s quite a large empty white space between the image, there a way to reduce this space?

If helpful my website is kayohana.com

Thanks, yu

Hi kayohana,

We have this option on our to-do list, we have designed it and we will include this option on our next 1-2 updates :)

It will look like this

Hi

I just tried to activate my new theme and received the following error:

Warning: require_once(/home/joshindig/jo-shin.com/wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/smof/functions/functions.load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/joshindig/jo-shin.com/wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/lib/smof/smof.php on line 85

I can provide my purchase code upon request.

Please help, my entire site is now down!

Best, Jo

Hi jo_shindig,

Hi,

Can you confirm when Kalium 1.8 is released, please?

The LayerSlider WP plugin keeps asking for a purchase code. I tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it, but the same still happens. Could it be because my theme isn’t the latest? Though I purchased 1.7.2 last night – the only version I have found – upon install, I am told to upgrade to 1.8.

Can you clarify?

Hi jo_shindig

When Kalium theme is activated Layer Slider should not require purchase code, and even if so just ignore it (hide the notification), because whenever new theme update is available the sliders and all other premium plugins will be updated within the theme.

Version 1.8 will be release this week.

Great theme. I also like the slide movie in Main(simple menu) demo. http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/ Can I get that movie file please? Especially the elevator movie. Thank you.

Hi there,

The video used in the demo site is this one: https://vimeo.com/119189638

Hi there,

These are features of another theme so to add these you must edit the theme files first and add the styling and after that you can manage somehow to add the code in the footer but I don’t know if it works because it is a feature not implemented in the theme.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi am looking to setup Kalium theme same as Woocommerce Theme can you please guide me how can i setup or if i can share access and you can help us setting up?

Hi there,

To do this the best is to install demo content of the “shop demo”, please take some time to read the documentation and watch the videos.

Here is a video tutorial that explains this procedure.

Cheers!

Hi,

1) Can you recommend any good plugins to make the post layouts better. You guys did such a great job on the portfolio items and neglected the posts which doesn’t make a lot of sense to use because wordpress is primarily a blogging platform, hmmmm.

2) Any news on the bug we raised a ticket for about Video posts?

The issue again is that if we create a video post the video itself does not show in the single post view and does in the masonry grid view. The only way we can get the video to show in the single post view is if we post as a “standard” post (and not a video post) but not on the masonry object. Any ideas how to fix this?

3) Are we able to add widgets to the full background menu please?

Thanks,

Hi Tomo,

2. I talked with the programmer, he said that the issue with Video will be fixed with the update.

4. That’s a Visual Composer element, and some of the elements don’t work with the theme.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Re point 4, will there be a fix or workaround available please?

Thanks,

Tomo

Hi there,

We will fix or remove it completely so users will not be confused.

Art

I can´t even upload the theme kalium.zip, I get “Failure Notice”

Hi there,

Have you checked your PHP limits to see if they are like the recommended ones.

Kind Regards,

Hi, We are looking for a Bottom Fixed Menu that uses a widgitized Mega Menu? Does the Kalium have this header configuration? If not can you be contracted to make these customizations? Thanks

Hi there,

Unfortunately we don’t have any Fixed footer, we will talk this with the team and see if we will add in the upcoming updates because it sounds like a good idea.

Best Regards,
Art

Hi Art, thank you… When is the 1.8 coming out? Any chance of bottom sticky menu? We have bought other themes and spent hundreds of hours styling them and setting up the pages then an update comes and it is installed and all the setup has to be redone! is this how it will be with Kalium updates? and finally we need AJAX menus with a persistent header when content is loaded (no header refresh) i see your store does this, do all the headers do this (would the bottom header do this)? Basically we want a bottom AJAX persistent header with AJAX animations for loading content while the header is persistent on the page (this is common on other templates but oddly it rarely appears on themes that focus on ecommerce)... I really look forward to associating with you and your team and hope these issues are not too much!

Hi there,

We are working hard on it, we hope it will be released this week together with a lot of new features that come with it.

Regarding your question about updates, for this you need to use the Child Theme, so even when a new update is ready simply update the main theme while the child theme and the modifications remain the same.

The AJAX menu and the bottom sticky menu is a great idea but we will discuss it with the team when we will start to implement this, type of header.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi is it possible to remove the image descriptions or set the description width to 0% for the Zig Zag page layout?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Can you be more specific please, if possible with a screenshot highlighting the area which you want to modify.

Is there any way i can create white rectangles behind the navigation links. So after I press the navigation opener in the right hand corner instead of it just saying home, portfolio etc. it instead displays the links with a solid White rectangle behind them so as not to get lost in the background image.

Hi there,

Try adding this to the Custom CSS:

.main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light div.menu>ul>li>a, .main-header.menu-type-standard-menu .standard-menu-container.menu-skin-light ul.menu>li>a {
    padding: 4px 6px;
    background: #222;
}

Hello!

I have a few questions in regards to the contact form:

1. I’m having a bit of trouble with the contact form going through. I’ve tried making the receiver two different addresses and neither return the form successfully.

2. Is there a way to customize the error text when I have selected to display the errors http://screencast.com/t/0tugtb3p? Also, it still sends the form even when all fields haven’t been filled out if this box has been selected. Is there any way around this?

Other: 3. Where do I edit this? I’m having a hard time finding it: http://screencast.com/t/taOhOtWQ41D

Thank you for the awesome theme! Your help would me much appreciated. B

Hi there,

1. I am sorry but this is not possible, you cannot use more than an e-mail to receive the e-mails.

2. I don’t know if it is possible but you can try getting a translation plugin such as Loco Translate and then scan all the theme strings.

3. You can edit that by going to Appearance > Widgets > Footer Widgets

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi Art,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I am not trying to send to 2 emails. :) Just tested by changing the receiver to different addresses. The email form isn’t going through at all.

Hi there,

There may be a problem with your mail server which is not sending e-mails.

Give this plugin a try, it fixes and sends the e-mails through PHP and not through the server.

Kind Regards,
Art

I love the theme but I can’t make the sticky menu background for navigation permanent. It only shows up once I start scrolling. Do I need to add custom css to make it visible at all times?

Hi there,

The sticky menu will be displayed when you start scrolling and then it will be de-activated when scrolling back to top, you cannot keep it always sticky, maybe I didn’t understand your question right so if you could illustrate it somehow maybe I’ll find a solution.

Kind Regards,
Art

HI there, I am trying the set the dark theme in the theme styling but it shows a white bg. Any ideas?. Thanks.

Hi there,

Can you provide us with your site URL so we can see if there’s a problem with your scripts.

Kind Regards,
Art

Good evening,

I’m trying to set up the contact page, but I can’t found the style for set the contact form. Can you help me with this? The URL it’s: http://www.theroyalarf.com/contact

Thank you for your answer. Ed.

Hi there,

Right now the Contact Form 7 plugin is not styled with the theme, we will include this fix in the upcoming update and it will include support form Ninja Forms too.

You can fix it temporary now by adding this to the Custom CSS:

input.wpcf7-form-control.wpcf7-text.wpcf7-validates-as-required,textarea.wpcf7-form-control.wpcf7-textarea.wpcf7-validates-as-required, input.wpcf7-form-control.wpcf7-text {
    background: #EEE;
    padding: 13px;
    border: none;
} 

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks you!

You’re welcome :)

Hello,

How can I put more fields in the kalium contact forms?

Or how can I put my contact form 7 in the theme Kalium Style?

kind regards,

Koos Rozenburg

Hi Koos,

We have added the Ninja Forms support in the 1.8 Version which will be available really soon, you cannot add extra fields in the Kalium contact form.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Is it possible that your theme does not support Polylang (in stead of WPML) ?

I added several .mo and .po files in the theme directory /languages and the theme does not translate !!

I’m also using a child theme.

Hi there,

Then there must be an issue with the plugin because we have tried in the Loco Translate plugin which is a multi-lingual plugin and worked fine.

Kind Regards,
Art
