Hey,

I’m using your theme for a clients website and am having some issues with iframes within blog posts. Looking at the code, the theme seems to inject some of its own code in around the iframe and adds padding.The padding means we have a large gap beneath the iframe.

Are there any quick CSS fixes I can make?

Don’t really want to post the client but could I email you a lnik?

Cheers,

Luke

Hi,

You can send the link via email to: support@laborator.co

And we will take a look at your issue.

Kind regards,

Hi there,

Congratulations for the Kalium theme, I bought it two weeks ago and I am really happy with it.

I am working now on my online portfolio, and I would like to display more than four columns in the main portfolio page in order to use the whole wide of computers with hi-res and wide screens like the iMac.

Is it possible? It would be great

Thanks,

Pedro

Hi PVL777,

The option to display more than 4 columns on the portfolio page is not available for the moment, but wi will work on this area on the future updates :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Great theme! :)

I would like to create a slider with the (very cool) Auto Text animation. Is it possible to add the code into a slider?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thank you :) I’m afraid that this option is not possible.

Thank your for your understanding!

Kind regards,

Have a couple of questions:

1. Similar to @Bottillo_82, category filtering on my portfolio page is not working.

When I hit a category in the filter above the thumbnails, the url goes to /portfolio/#category-name but does not filter the layout. If I manually enter the url portfolio/?portfolio-caterogry=category-name, then that does work to filter the results.

2. How do we rename the theme so that people looking at our source code (ctrl U) won’t see ‘Kalium’ as the theme name?

You said before that this was in Theme Options, but I do not see this. How is it done?

Good work otherwise, thanks.

@oncleDuck

Hi again, with #2, ticking the Enqueue box does not seem to address my issue. I want to remove all ‘kalium’ references from the frontend code, which are highlighted in yellow and orange in this screen shot: https://nimbus.everhelper.me/client/notes/share/431020/w6iqxo7mms25q72o164f

Hi oncleDuck

1. As for this, I need to view your site and see whats the issue, can you please give me your page URL which contains portfolio filter issue.

2. To remove “kalium” referencing, go to wp-content/themes/ folder and rename kalium folder to your desired name. Then open the style.css of Kalium child theme and change Template: kalium to the theme name you have defined.

There are also custom files enqueued in inc/laborator_actions.php so you may or may not change their names also followed by renaming file names in their respective directories. Doing this, will always require to repeat the same steps when you update the theme, so its up to you if you want to do this or not. We do not support customized version of Kalium theme (parent theme), but if you only switch the names, thats not a problem.


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi,

I found out that the issue is related to the slug of the portfolio categories. For some reason, WordPress won’t work correctly if your slug uses only numbers, as they were doing: 2015, 2016, and so on.

So, I replaced the slugs of the categories with “fifteen” and “sixteen” instead, and now the filter is working fine.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

HI! I am revisiting this comment page to see if I can get some suggestion or help on my site! Currently on my portfolio page, I am able to separate the content into two columns, but I’m using short codes. I’m wondering how I could achieve that without shortcodes and just by the portfolio type found at the bottom of the page? I guess the overall main question is how do I use the portfolio type styles to display my content rather than shortcodes? THANK YOU!! :) Here is the link to the particular portfolio page I was referring to: http://www.ziandinh.com/portfolio/wildflower/

Hi there,

There is no other way to separate the content in the portfolio items if that type does not support that feature, you can use the Visual Composer type of portfolio and style it how you want, we will release some new portfolio items designed with Visual Composer.

Hi there,

I tried to change colour of the theme by using custom skin builder. But somehow it only shows me one of your presets (Gold). Is this is a bug in the theme Kalium, out am doing something wrong? I would think just selecting the colours I’d like to change and changing the hexadecimal values would do the trick, but it doesn’t.

Can you please help me with this, I could go check the .css of the theme. But I think that would be stupid, as you provide a (what should be) much easier option.

Kind regards

Xander

Hi Xander,

Firstly just make sure you have the latest version of the theme and then replace the laborator_filters.php file in wp-content/themes/kalium/inc and then try again.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi, I’m still having problem with Kalium theme, in particular with category filtering that doesn’t work. Even after the update to v. 1.8.8 it still doesn’t work. I noticed the following behavior: - when i first click on a category (i.e. 3d printing) on the menu it gives me this correct URL: http://www.albertobottillo.it/?portfolio-category=3d-painting - if then I click on another category (i.e. WIP) it gives me this wrong URL: http://www.albertobottillo.it/?portfolio-category=3d-painting#wip It retains the former category selection and then it just add the second category after the hashtag without rewriting the right query.

Please help me as soon as possible, I need to go online with my site and this is causing me big issues..

looking forward best regards Alberto Bottillo

Hi Bottillo_82,

We are sorry for the delay of your ticket but we where on vocation for 5 days and arrived yesterday, we will reply to your email today :)

Thank you for your understanding!

Kind regards,
—Ylli

HI,

I hope I have not understood correctly..

You are telling me that the category filtering does not work if I don’t refresh the page everytime?!

First even if I refresh the page the category filtering does not work!

Second, refreshing the page every time is not a solution, it’s not possible buy a Kalium theme (for a simple showcase web site) and have a theme where the category filtering doesn’t work!

I’m sorry Arlind, I can imagine that it isn’t your problem but it’s mine and it must be resolved!

Please I would like to spike to the owner of the “Laborator Creative” .

I’m not a fussy person but I’ve payed for a web site where tring the filter category on the Demo it works, so I cant accept this!

PLease let me know something or give me the contact of the supervisor. thanks.

Hi Bottillo_82,

We will continue the conversation through the email that you send to us please.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

hi,

i have some layout questions.

1. is it possible to use the main picture slider from the main demo in the agency content? if yes, which settings i need.

2. i want to use the theme without a child theme and want to now where (in which file) the changings are saved. does dies changings overright if i update the theme?

3. is it possible to change the color of the hambuger menu on different sites?

thanks for answer tom

Hi Tom,

1— So you want to use Slider that you see on the Main Demo right? To do that just download our theme from themeforest and then extract it, navigate to Extras folder > Demo Content > Main Demo > and import revolutionslider.zip on the Revolution Slider.

2— Theme changes are mostly changed on database, and when theme updates those changes will loose, so child theme is the best choice if you want to edit core theme files of our themes.

3— Can you please write us your site URL here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have possible solution.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

hi Ylli.

1. Okay

2. okay. i explain it in a wrong way. if i write some css code in the css custom css editor, does this code lost if i update the theme?

3. site is under mainteance mode, i ask if i use fullscreen images and they are lighter dann the white menu button you can see the button. make a shadow in this area doesn’t work but to much images generated after upload and image position is never the same. so i have the idea to switch the color of the menu if i use a fullscreen image.

regards tom

Hi Tom,

2— If you write CSS on Custom CSS area your code there will not loose when you update the theme :)

3— You can change the menu color for specific pages by going to this option when you edit page (view large version)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Is there a way to delete the description of blog posts on the blog page? Or can I put a custom description under the blog post title on the blog page? My descriptions/text under the title of the post look very messy, is there a way to fix this?

nataliecampbell.co/blog

Hi natalieunderoath,

Yes that is possible with Custom CSS, but i see that you have used Visual Composer on your “So What?! Music Festival 2016” post, can you please create this blog post without VC?

You are using an old version of our theme (1.8.5) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8.8.1), 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 :)

Very Important: Please 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

Hello, This is the second time I post about this question. Hope you can help me.

When I click in one of the images and the slide show is active, would it be possible for the slide show images to take the full screen? Right now is only taking about 60% of the screen.

http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/ryuji-mitani/

Thank you

Hi cuomfb2016,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

nivo-lightbox-wrap {
    top: 2% !important;
    bottom: 2% !important;
    left: 2% !important;
    right: 2% !important;
}

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thank you!

Glad to hear that :)

If you like Kalium, it would help us a lot if you could rate our item on themeforest from your Downloads tab, (if you don’t know how, just open this link).

Thank you very much and have a nice day :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Beautiful theme. One question before I purchase – I like the blueprint/photo option using the twenty-twenty plugin with Kalium. How can I achieve the blueprint look as in your demo? Does this come with the theme or is it a separate purchase in Themeforest? Thank you.

Hi LittleDipper,

Thank you for your kind words :)

If you are talking for this page, then this option to compare images is available on our theme.

We have just used those two images, Image 1 and Image 2.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

How create page with background image like the example with this map (http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main-dark/contact/) ?

and how to make a background with random image?

Hi diogorib06,

The background image of the contact page is not really an image, it is a map showing the 3D view of the Google Maps, you can set a background color by using the Revolution Slider or by setting a background image via Visual Composer, take a look at this tutorial.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi,

Under blog settings I am using the masonry option. I was curious if there is a way to make the thumbnail (featured images) be dynamic heights and not cropped to the default horizontal dimensions? Same goes for how they are cropped on the single post blog pages.

Thank you so much!

Hi there,

1. To change the size and weight of the full-screen menu add this to the Custom CSS:

.main-header.menu-type-full-bg-menu .full-screen-menu.menu-open-effect-fade.menu-is-open nav div.menu>ul>li>a, .main-header.menu-type-full-bg-menu .full-screen-menu.menu-open-effect-fade.menu-is-open nav ul.menu>li>a { 
font-weight: 300 !important;
font-size: 14px !important;
}
2. Try using this code:
@media screen and (max-width: 768px)
.auto-type-element {
    font-size: 30px !important;
    line-height: normal !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you again!

question 1) worked out!

question 2) did not seem to do the trick.

The auto-type element still is not down-sizing at the given 768px break. Any other ideas?

Hi,

I’m sorry, there is a small typo in the code that we provided. This is the correct one:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.auto-type-element {
    font-size: 30px !important;
    line-height: normal !important;
}
}

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hello,

I am shut down by my host because of malware/hacking. No clue what happend. I have used always the most up to date version of Kalium and Wordpress. Besides that my side was not even “really” on line because I was still busy setting up, anyway there was already some work done and it would be pity if I lose it.

Is there a possibility to take the content I already made, of the ftp server and out of the database and install everything clean again?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best, Hans

Hi Hans

It is strange how this happened to you! None of our customers has had this kind of problem. However there is still possibility to retrieve all the data, simply go to phpMyAdmin and export the database, and then download entire folder: wp-content/uploads/ folder, that all you need.

It would be great if you can ask your hosting provider which of the files is infected so I can see the possible issue.

Our theme does not handle the “security” part of WordPress, it only displays theme styles.


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi Laborator,
How I can change the style of searching box in widget of sidebar menu.
Please see the screenshot https://goo.gl/bGs26s I don’t want the default style is the black color in background with black letter, difficult to read. I would like to change a red for background and white letter.
Thank you.

Yeah, perfect! But it should be:
.woocommerce .item-info li{
     list-style-tyle: disc !important;
}
instead your code, it’s affected to all paragraph in Woocommerce :)
Many thanks for your support Art.

Dear Rodrigo, Thank you for answering my last query with the advice to update my WP and plugins—they were all updated and in good working order. My website still reads (after updating the Kalium theme): Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_shortcode_custom_css_has_property() in /home/litmoont/public_html/wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 45 My website is http://litmoontheatre.com/ Thanks—I’m not sure what to do next and don’t yet know enough about coding to go in there and try to fix it yet…. I certainly had no custom css written for my site! Vicki

Hello,

I just logged into your dashboard, and Visual Composer was not correctly updated. I did so, and now everything works fine :)

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Thank you, Rodrigo! I am now curious why Visual Composer was not correctly updated—is that something I missed? I don’t remember seeing any reminders to update it. Or did it just not update correctly during the update of the Kalium Theme? I ask because my time to get support from you all is nearly up and I’m concerned if a routine update causes a problem like this that I am not ready yet to solve! What should I check for when I do future Kalium updates? Thanks so much, Vicki

Hi,

You can check the available updates for plugins in the “Plugins” section of your dashboard. There, you will be able to see whenever a new update is available.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hello, In the theme we have an alternative portfolio page (just showing one category) but if we are in a portfolio item, the 4 little squares button, refer to the portfolio page in the settings (/portfolio) while it needs to go to /portfolio-projects any idea how we can get this to go back to the page the portfolio items were? Thanks!

Hi,

Could you please provide us a link to your portfolio page, so we can check how it is configured and give you the exact code modifications that you need?

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hello Rodrigo, thank you for your reply. The page and website I am talking about is: http://tint210.nl/portfolio-projecten/ thanks!

Hi juanph,

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.

if i change the text in the wordpress editor (the classic one and not the backend or frontend editor. the text doesn’t displayed complete on the portfolio page. it change to scroll inline and only show 4 or 5 rows of the text.

is this a bug or can i somewhere change it to see the text allways complete?

thanks for answer tom

Hi Tom,

I’m sorry but this can’t be handled from the Visual Composer. You can fix this problem by adding this code below to Custom CSS:

.portfolio-title-holder .pt-column {
    float: left;
    margin-top: 15px;
}

Kind regards,
—Ylli

and on this page i can add text and the layout show the complete text

Hi Tom,

Can you please make one video of your question, because now i’m afraid that i can’t understand it very well.

Kind regards,
