Hi Kalium Team,
I change the image setting on Theme Options > Blog Settings > Featured image size (single post) to Original Image Size .Then I upload a featured image 480X480 but it still look like 1140×1140.
How can I do to keep the featured image sizes their original dimension?
My blog page is https://goo.gl/So31hw.
By the way, how can I do to let listing page looks like Kalium Blog Demo. http://i.imgur.com/Hv8g9Ty.jpg
Thanks. Ernie
Hi Ernie
To have default uploaded image size apply this custom CSS:
.blog-head-holder .image-placeholder {
display: block;
padding: 0 !important;
text-align: center;
}
.blog-head-holder .image-placeholder img {
position: relative;
width: auto;
display: inline-block;
}
This is how it looks: http://drops.laborator.co/1dD3K
Hi Arlind, Thanks a lot. I have rated Kalium 5 stars!!! Ernie
Hi, I just purchased the theme and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my page. I found the theme customisable in almost every way and I have turned my site as unique as possible from other users of Kalium.
I have a query on header menu in mobile mode. Is it possible to keep the menu design the same (menu style-1 – full background menu) while the page is viewed from mobile devices?
I hope you could help me with this 
Thank you, Yours sincerely, Nana
Great news 
hello, i have a very hard problem.I try to do a home page, for three days, and I can´t. I want to use as an item portfolio home page, please can help me?
Hi albuswulfric
Have you tried importing demo content and see how the pages are implemented?
I strongly suggest you to do this and you will learn all the tricks of the theme.
Or tell me what kind of homepage you want to create so I can give you the steps. Send me the sample URL from kalium demo pages from here: www.kaliumtheme.com and I will tell you how to create.
Hello, I would like to change the link of my logo. By default is linked to the homepage, but I would like to link it to my ‘About me’ page. I can’t find how is this done. Could you please give me some advice. Thank you!! Cecilia
Hi Cecilia
Sure you can do this, open this file:
/wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/logo.php on line 45 change this line:
href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"
To your desired url:
href="http://mysite.com/about-us"
Or if you know the id of that page simply do this way, for example if id is 123 replace with this code:
href="<?php echo get_permalink( 123 ); ?>"
This is temporary fix so for the next update you will need to repeat it.
To remove this extra step for you I have added custom filter so next time you don’t need to edit this file, so install this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/And then add this code:
add_filter( 'kalium_logo_url', 'custom_kalium_logo_url' );
function custom_kalium_logo_url( $home_url ) {
$new_url = 'http://mysite.com/about-us';
$page_id = 0; // if you have page id its better, then set it here
if ( $page_id > 0 ) {
$new_url = get_permalink( $page_id );
}
return $new_url;
}
Then you don’t need to care about it anymore.

Hi there,
thanks for the really slick theme its awesome!!.
I’m new to wordpress but my friend showed me how to upload the agency demo theme so that I can begin customising it. I have tried to follow your tutorials as best I can but now I’m stuck 
1) I wanted to get a show more button with my brand colours to appear on my home page with my brand colours.
2) I wanted the text that appears inside the boxes to all appear in white not black and grey
3) I wanted the grey banner at the top and bottom to appear the length of the page and sit at the top not stop with a white border
4)I also wanted the main menu to appear at the start instead of clicking on the three black lines on the left
5) I would like my blue to appear in the text and the line on the menus the hover text throughout the site that includes my email on the contact me
these are elements that appear on your other themes that I would like to make into my personal one I understand that you may not be able to answer all the questions but if you could help me with a principle of how to then I can implement the changes myself.

thanks tried putting this in the custom code but when you hover over the white text it still shows up black with a black line
got all my issues fixed thanks guys
Glad to hear that 
Good afternoon,
First, thank you for an amazing theme. Great Job.
I have been working on my site, filling up the portfolio and have run into a small issue… i have tried looking through the comments to see if this issue has been covered already but I could find any info… sorry if i have missed it.
This issue is, all the thumbnails that are loaded with the page (first 10 atm) load great, shuffle perfect and fit well in Masonry but once you scroll down and new thumbnails load… the new thumbnails load way to big and don’t neatly fit into the Masonry grid. Is there a fix to this? or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks
Hi there,
It would be better if you would include your site URL too so we could investigate and see what the problem really is.
Also, are you sure you are using the latest theme update cause this issue has been fixed in the past versions of the theme and now it isn’t occurring anymore.
Kind Regards,
Art
I believe I have the most up to date, I cant see any updates available…

Hi,
I would like my footer to have to social media buttons to visible. I would also like to have the logos of the companies i work for to be visble on the footer. Can you help? I look on your supported documentation and it doesn’t explain this.
Thanks
Hallo Laborator,
I have kalium, wpml, woocommerce and loco translator.
I have italian as main language and have set up english as second language. I have a shop page in italian, but unfortunately I can’t figure out how to have also a shop page in english!
I have a page named “shop” (italian language) containing nothing but a useless sentence “pagina italiana”, so I can see this text in the page. The page shows up as I want, with the list of my products, a bar on the right and everything is working very well.
here it is: http://lnx.woodandmood.com/shop/
Now, the shop page is translated in english, with a useless sentence “English page”
Here is the link to the english page: http://lnx.woodandmood.com/en/shop/
Why is this page completely empty?
On the other hand, if you click the italian flag, while being in the italian page, there is no english icon to take me to he english shop page. I managed to have the homepage in both languages, and the english one is just a demo I’ve set up for testing porpuses.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Or, to keep it simple, is it possibile to have a shop page in italian and a shop page in english? If yes, how to?
Thanks in advance
OMG WTF, I’m an idiot! LOL
I had no product translated in english! Now I can see the icon while in the italian page, but still have no item in the english page. Something is still missing
Well, I can’t fix this issue, I have no idea what to do.
I translated every single product page, so now I have 25 items with both italian end english translation. The english shop page is still empty. I guessed I had to use a woocommerce shortcode in the english shop page, but – unlucky me, there is no shortcode for shop page in Woocommerce.
I really need your help here :’(
—-—-—-——
I have another issue though: in the shop page, the pagination does not work. The only working option is “normal pagination” set in kalium “shop settings” options. I would like to have “endless scroll” but it doesn’t work and the endless scroll + autoreveal does not work either. Tip: the endless scroll works as intended if I filter the shop page by category, let’s say “Complementi”, which is the only one having more than 8 items (it has 9).
I think I got the problem: I need to Upgrade to WPML Multilingual CMS, because I need the woocommerce Multilingual plugin to work, which run only in a CMS package environment. There is no other solution, unless you have one.
The pagination issue is still a problem, can’t get it to work
Hi,
I fixed it, I upgraded to Wpml Multilingual CMS.
Thanks
Hi, great work. Pre-sale question: can I use my own copy of ACF Pro? If yes, will I see the ACF menu or is integrated in the theme options?
Thanks
ACF Pro is a mandatory tool for me, will you give me support in the case of ACF menu don’t appear in the backend ? I’ve upgraded from previously or non pro version of ACF to pro version many times without compatibility issues, than I’m pretty sure that will work. Thanks
Hi again,
Can you send us an e-mail and we can talk about this issue.
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.
Kind Regards,
Art
For future references, ACF Pro work well with Kalium: change line 10 in kalium/inc/laborator_filters.php from add_filter( ‘acf/settings/show_admin’, ‘__return_false’ ); to add_filter( ‘acf/settings/show_admin’, ‘__return_true’ ); and you can see the ACF pro menu in backend

how can I achieve this parallaxing effect with type overtop like http://wedgeandlever.com/ does?
Thanks.
Hi dustinkoop
To achieve parallax effect you can do this with Visual Composer composer, on row edit parameter you have to select “Simple” or “Fade” as parallax parameter in row settings, here is an example:
http://drops.laborator.co/1gXshAnd so on you can continue with all row elements.
Note that there was a bug reported with parallax elements in our theme so we have fixed it, but not released the update yet, all you have to do is download this file and replace it in kalium/vc_templates/ folder.
The parallax will work properly after replacing this file.

hi, great theme!
Im working on this site: http://michelesaee.com/wp0/ Is there a way to get the menu rolling down instead of sideways?
Also, are there any tutorial videos online? Id like to set a grid of images on the splash page but im still new to the theme features.
thanks
Thanks Ylli. I am trying to change the orientation of the entire menu, so the bullet points are below each other not next to. Any tips?
Also any of those menu points generate a “This webpage has a redirect loop” error instead of opening the page.
thanks, Peter
ok ive figured a few things out : ) and new location: http://www.michelesaee.com/wp
If i introduce portfolio sub-categories that are parented to the main categories, they dont seem to appear. any thoughts?
hi Art,
thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions hope you could help me with.
-I have set “4 items per row” for masonry style portfolio arrangement but it still displays 3, regardless of what thumbnail size i set & regen. - where can i adjust the gap size between my portfolio items? - I would like to include some labels as portfolio items but they should not react to mouse roll-on, is there a way to exclude them? - i am trying to have a custom arrangement within my portfolio categories and downloaded Advanced Post Type Order, but doesnt seem to have an effect, any hints?
many thanks, Peter
Hi Peter,
If you want to modify this there are two places to do this, in the page you’ve put these elements and in the Theme Options, make sure you’ve checked both these options. The gap between these elements can be managed manually if you know CSS, you can manage and decrease the gap, I see you’ve used some labels as portfolio items which I would not suggest you because it will cause a lot of problems. It would be better to add a single image and link it with a page, split the content in rows than doing this.
Kind Regards,
Art
hi Art,
i did all those updates to 1/4 but no change, my masonry grid still organised in 3 columns. Any thoughts?
I was trying to edit the css for the gap between the portfolio pages, but the style sheet is empty – there is just a paragraph comment out in it. Where could i access the css?
About the titles, was trying group – custom order per category – the portfolio nodes, a bit similar to the icon categories on this site: http://www.big.dk/#projects Id like to reorganize the portfolio items in different groups and have new titles appear in each category…
thanks, Peter
Hi Peter,
This question is related to theme developer and I am unable to give you any solution about this because I am not backend developer.
Our theme developer Arlind or Art can help you with this, but they took the holiday vacation and they will be back on 04 January.
When they come back, just reply to this thread and you will make sure Arlind or Art will see your comment.
Hope for your understanding 
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
hi Art,
hope you had a great holiday. I’m getting close to finalizing the site – http://michelesaee.com/wp/ – , just have a few detail questions:
- i would like to set the gap between the grid items smaller – not zero – but i cant seem to access the css file from the wordpress interface - i would like to display the content of the ‘sub-title’ under each title when i roll over the grid items - font coloring of the footer seems to be inconsistent, where can i set those colors?
many thanks & happy new year
Peter

hi Yili, thanks the update solved most of my problems, but it seems the “custom taxonomy order” plugin i used to arrange the order of the sorting categories no longer works. Could you recommend an easy way to do this? Also I would like to turn off the “All” label. Thanks, Peter

Thanks Ylli! Category reorder works like a charm! The only one I cant change is “All”; how could I order it to be at the end of the list instead of the beginning? Also I’d like to change it small caps: “all”
The other issue i have is random black pixels on the background, although i have the bg set to #FFF. Any thoughts?
the site again: http://michelesaee.com/wp/
thanks, Peter
Hi Peter,
1— The only solution to push All on the right is this, just add the code below to Custom CSS
li.portfolio-category-all {
float: right;
margin-left: 40px !important;
text-transform: lowercase !important;
}
2— To remove that just go to your Custom CSS and remove this line of code:
.wrapper {
background: url(http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pattern-29.jpg);
}
Kind regards,
—Ylli
hi Ylli,
thanks these worked great, the site is almost ready at final place: www.saeestudio.com
1.I am still experiencing the small/individual ‘blacked out’ pixels on the white theme background. Any thoughts?
2. I would like to go with ‘post-name’ permalink settings but if i change it from ‘plain’ i get 404 error on all the sub pages. Please advise.
many thanks, Peter
Hi Peter,
1— If you go to your Custom CSS area, you will find this line of code:
.wrapper {
background: url(http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pattern-29.jpg);
}
Just remove it and your site will have white color 
2— I think that you have added custom links on Menu and that’s why this is happening, so you need to change URL of the menu items too.
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Thanks Ylli, the background clean-up worked out 
About the permalinks, I might have some other bug going on. Both pages and portfolio pages give me 404 error if I set the permalinks else than ‘plain’. Any thoughts?

Hi there!
I would like to change style of portfolio “Show more” and contact form “Send” buttons. It would be great to add some custom outline, text and hover colors. And also set the same font for both of them, for example my default paragraph font.
I tried to play with custom css but unfortunately without success. I don’t know what to do with “btn btn-primary send” class and “btn btn-white” class…
In visual composer I’ve got this: [vc_btn title=”Text” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#e8234e” outline_custom_hover_background=”#e8234e” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0e192a” shape=”square” size=”lg”]
But have no idea how to apply this to “Show more” and “Send” buttons.
I want that all buttons look like this one http://getin.lt/kodel/
The other two: http://getin.lt/portfolio/ and http://getin.lt/contact-3/I’ve just disabled coming soon mode, so please let me know when you will check it, so I can re-enable it again.
Thanks!
Hi there,
Even though this is a custom request, we will help you this time, you can achieve that by adding this code to the Custom CSS:
.show-more .button a {
color: #ea214d !important;
}
.show-more .button:hover {
border-color: #ea214d !important;
}
.show-more .button a:hover {
color: #0E182B !important;
background: #ea214d !important;
border-color: #ea214d !important;
}
.contact-form .send {
color: #ea214d !important;
border: 2px solid #ea214d !important;
}
.contact-form .send:hover {
background: #ea214d !important;
color: #0E182B !important;
}
Kind Regards,
Art
Thank you a lot. It worked, but not exactly how I planned. I hope I will figure out what to change in Custom CSS.
Hello there, i love this theme, but it looks like I’m missing up&down arrows in the add-to-cart/product-count small window. Is there an option to turn them on/off in Theme options? Please advise.
Hi DsVic,
That is feature that is deprecated from the WooCommerce, but they have made one plugin that can enable them, to enable you must install this plugin WooCommerce Quantity Increment.

Thanks Ylli that worked!
I’m using the Enless Scroll with auto reveal, but its taking to long to reveal the items and guests don’t realize there is content there. Is there some way to force all items to load when they open the page? Or somehow speed up the delay on loading them?
Hello, I have tried to upload the theme (parent) via both a fresh WordPress 4.3.1 install, and via ftp. In Wordpress, while trying to upload kalium.zip to Appearance > Themes > New, I received the following: “WordPress failure notice: Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” Theme upload failed. I then uploaded both the parent and child folders to ftp, refreshed all, and the Kalium theme, athough present in the /themes folder, is unrecognized by WordPress.
Most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, for example 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 
Kind Regards,
—Ylli
Hello, as mentioned above, I have already uploaded the folders to /themes via ftp, as well. WordPress still does not recognize the theme. I’ll see about trying again with raised PHP limits.
Yes, thank you!
