Dear,

I would like to display 100% of my images in my portfolio thumnails. Is there an option in the Kalium theme or do I need to add some .php code with something like: max-width:100%; height:auto; background-size: 100%; 100%;

If yes, where do I put this?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Eric

Hi sas0611,

If you’re adding the products via the Portfolio Page, then make sure you’re using this type of displaying the items:

(view large version)

Or if you’re showing them via Visual Composer make sure you’ve set this option:

(view large version)

Kind Regards,
Art

Dear Art, the Dynamic Image Height was the problem. Thanks!

Hi sas0611,

Very glad to hear that :)

P.S: If you like our theme, it would help us a lot if you could give us five star rating on themeforest from your Downloads tab, (if you don’t know how, just open this link).

A huge thank you from Laborator in advance and have a nice week!

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi, I bought this theme. But I have problems to install two plugins “Revolution Slider” and Visual Composer. The error is:

can’t copy file. revslider/languages/revslider-en_US.mo; can’t copy file. js_composer/config/content/shortcode-vc-gallery.php

Sorry for my bad english. Thank you.

Pietro.

Hi,

This issue seems related to a conflict with your server configuration. I’d suggest to contact your web hosting provider, and show them a screenshot of the issue.

I found some guides in the WP support forums that seem to address this issue:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/could-not-copy-file-upgrade-fail

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo! Thank you for the help.

The problem was that I had no more space. I have reallocated space and now everything works fine. Thanks so much.

Have a nice day. Pietro.

Hi Pietro,

Glad to hear that you managed to fix it :)

Hello Laborator team,

i try to embed my self hosted webfonts. I placed the fonts inside the CSS folder ( themes/kalium/assets/css… )

I used this code;

@font-face { font-family: 'Moderat'; src: url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.eot); src: url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix) format('embedded-opentype'), url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.woff2) format('woff2'), url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.woff) format('woff'), url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'), url(http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.svg#moderatregular) format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: "Moderat"; } body { font-family: "Moderat"; }

Unfortunatly it doesn’t seem to load the fonts. Are there any mistakes in this code? The page is http://www.cheame.ch.

Thank you!

Best regards, Sandro

Hi,

I think that you just need to add the correct quotes to that code:

@font-face {
    font-family: "Moderat";
    src: url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.eot");
    src: url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
         url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
         url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.woff") format("woff"),
         url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.ttf") format("truetype"),
         url("http://cheame.ch/wp-content/themes/kalium/assets/css/moderat/moderat-regular-webfont.svg#moderatregular") format("svg");
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo, thank you for your quick response! With both kinds of quotes, Chrome, Safari and the iOS browser show the correct fonts. Firefox always renders them to system default. Do you have any idea?

Thank you & best regards, Sandro

Hi Sandro

Can you please use this font generator service, it will provide you with the proper code that will render properly on all browsers.

https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator

After you generate the font files and download, upload them in wp-content/my-fonts/

And then change URL of font resources in stylesheet.css to the respective path and it will work.

Hey there,

I’m having issues with visual composers effects. (I use the latest version of the theme and all necesarry plugins)

On my site, row effects like paralax etc. do not work and cause issues with media content like revolution slider, my audio player etc.

Here are my settings:

Effects: http://tellingbeatzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/effects.png

Background: http://tellingbeatzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/background.png

Result: http://tellingbeatzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/result1.png http://tellingbeatzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/result2.png

i.e. it breaks my layout and the effects do not work.

For now i’ve disabled the effects but i would really like to use them and they did work on previously versions of visual composer / the theme.

Any help would be appreciated.

- Thomas

Hi,

Could you please publish one of those pages, and provide us the link to it, so we can take a look at the issue?

Also, you can try disabling all your plugins, in order to check if any of them is causing the problem.

Which versions of the plugin, the theme and WP do you have installed?

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hey Rodrigo,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve duplicated the page, you can see it live here: http://tellingbeatzz.com/laborator/

I use the latest version of Kalium 1.8.8.1. The latest version of Wordpress as well as Visual Composer Version 4.11.

So everything is up to date as far as i can see.

I really hope you can figure out what’s causing this.

Hi Bama77

It seems that the issue is related to VC Addons plugin, I see this error in your site:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘left’ of undefined

Can you please ask them what is this issue about and possibly guide you to the root of issue, if thats its from our theme, so we can change the files.


Best regards,
Arlind

thank you!

Hi jollyschwarz,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

}

Is it possible to let the portfolio items appear in random order?

Hi,

In the “Parameters and Options” box, in the “Edit Page” screen of your gallery page, navigate to the section “Portfolio Settings->General Details”. There, you should enable the field named “Custom Query”. Then, in the tab named “Custom Query”, you can sort the items by random.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hi eknoll,

We just 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 if you can increase your rating on our theme please, and 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 :)

Kind regards,
Ylli from Laborator

Hi eknoll,

I’m sorry for disturbing you but i would really appreciate if you can reply to our latest reply.

Thank you very much and have a great day! :)

Kind regards,

At the preview photograph page you could look through all the pictures in the lightbox mode even between single pictures and galeries.

where can we find those settings?

jollyschwarz.com

Hi,

There is a field named “Lightbox Navigation” in the section “Portfolio Settings->Lightbox Options” of the theme options panel, that allows you to change that.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

we have some trouble at mobile

First: we want to hide the Map in the mobile version for the contact page, or to disable the in map scroll for mobile

http://jollyschwarz.com/contact Second: http://jollyschwarz.com/about-me/ how can I fix the backgroundimage so it’s fixed on the right bottom and so you can see her on mobile devices ?

Can you help us ? Thanks (:

And how can i put a description text to a projekt,

and how can I make a show and hide button for the text about the pictures in the projekt ? here a example : http://jollyschwarz.com/#53-portraits-a-week-a-portrait/5

thanks you!

Hello Arlind,

I’m sorry to say I added the css but it didn’t work :/ again the text isn’t centered, I’ve also tried to make a whole new page but it was the same problem :/

http://jollyschwarz.com/about-me/

So the Captions in the Lightbox mode work just for gallerys? And if we use it in a gallery is there possible to show and hide the text?

here is the second try but same problem http://jollyschwarz.com/about/

This is the css that’s now on both sites

.go-to-top-vp { display: none !important; }

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .vc_custom_1459351999594 { background-attachment: fixed !important; background-position: right bottom !important; }

.wpb_wrapper { width: 100%; }

Hi jollyschwarz,

Sorry for the delay of the answer, as we were on holidays break and support team was partly active. Now we are back and able to help with any issue.

2. I am not sure what you see on your side, but here is the screenshot of your page on my screen:

(view large version)

I think this is fixed already.

3. Yes, the captions only work for galleries, but it is the same function for those items that use Featured Image, because instead of captions it gets description you enter in Visual Editor and its more easy to handle it.

Arlind

Hi!

1. I would like to change the colour of the category-text that is located in the hover over all portfolio items. It is currently grey, but turns into white during mouseover, which is not visible. Can’t find where to change it.

2. Also, I would like the social media links to be black as well during mouseover, not blue (instagram and facebook) and red (pinterest) Is this possible?

3. Can I remove the home-button from the top menu? Since my portfolio is standard shown at the homepage (named: the Collection) I don’t need the home-button anymore and would like to save some space for another, yet to create, menu-item.

My site is www.bymiinti.com.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Leonie.

Hi Leonie,

Regarding your questions:

1) and 2) You can write the following code in the field Custom CSS in your dashboard:

.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info p a {
  color: #333 !important;
}
.portfolio-holder .thumb .hover-state .info p a:hover {
  color: #000 !important;
}
.main-footer .footer-links a::after {
  background: #000 !important;
}
.main-footer .footer-links a, .main-footer .footer-links a::after {
  color: #000 !important;
}

3) In the screen “Appearance->Menus” of your dashboard, you can add/remove items from your menu.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hi,

How could I have a different width of the blog posts on desktop and mobile?

I am using the following which also alters the view on a mobile device:

}

.blog-content-holder { width: 70%; }

Is there a way to filter mobile from desktop?

Many thanks!

Hi Filip,

You can do that by going to the Custom CSS > Responsive (tab) and pasting the code for the preferred device.

Hi,

When I click on an item of your Products page, I’m redirected to a portfolio item view.

Is this how your website is supposed to work?

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

No, that’s my problem..It should go on the product page.

Hi, could you help me with the following issues? thanks!

1. I want to change the font size only in the text block right below the homepage slider, but I do not want this change to affect the other text blocks.

2. Same for the footer copyright notice at the bottom. I want to make it smaller. I tried this but it does not work:

.main-footer { font-size: 10px !important; }

3. The client logos section looks good in all Firefox , but in Chrome and Explorer the boxes that hold the logos do not resize properly, causing the lines to overlap the logos.

4. How can a text be automatically hyphenated?

thank you

Hi,

In that case, you can write the following code in the field Custom CSS in your dashboard:

.vc-container .lab-row-container {
  margin-bottom: 20px !important;

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Fantastic, thanks.

Hi Tropicando,

Hi,

Thanks for this great theme – we are making good use of it. But we just stumbled on an error, that occurred after the last update.

In our blog (called magazine – www.2470.media/magazin/) we would like to show custom manually written excerpts, that were working for a while, but suddenly (after the last update) started acting differently. Instead, the actual content of each post is generated with the HTML-marking which made the excerpt look quite funny (we have a HTML table that we use for the beginning almost each post).

In the current website, we have tried to avoid this issue by installing a plug-in Easy Custom Auto Excerpt, that works for now, but we have lost some of the content on the page due to a conflict between the description of the blog and this plug in.

We can very quickly turn off the said excerpt plug in to demonstrate what the issue is.

Our question – have you had this problem untill now? Do you have ideas of how you can help us?

Thanks so much, 2470Media – Team

Hi,

This is the first time that a client reports this issue, so I’d ask you to disable that plugin, so we can take a look at your website and try to find the cause of the issue.

Also, are you using both the theme’s and WP’s latest versions? You can try disabling all your plugins as well, in order to check if any of them is causing the problem.

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

HI How are you? Great theme! Can you please tell me if there is a way to white label this theme? I would like to remove all KALIUM branding visible once logged in to Wordpress (namely on the theme settings page).

Thanks :)

Hi,

So, you want to hide the name of the theme in the theme options panel?

In that case, you can add this code to the file “assets/css/admin/main.css” in the theme folder:

#of_container #of_form #header .logo h2 {
  display: none !important;
}

Kind regards,

Rodrigo

Hi Thanks a million for pointing me in the right direction on this. The Kalium name is now removed from the theme options but I was looking to get rid of all the Kalium naming from the CMS. Is there a setting for this? The major one that I notice is that the Kalium branding is on the browser tab when logged in to the CMS (its not visible when not editing, I was able to change this in the settings).

Thanks :)

Hi HyperCracked,

On the next update you should see some improvements on this direction, for the users who want to hide the theme name :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Is it possible to have the sidebar display on the single post page (but not the Blog list page)?

Hi babdon,

For the moment we don’t support sidebar on the single post page. But we will see if we can do something about this in the future :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Great, thanks!

You’re welcome :)

I am trying to figure out how to do multi-column text. Like one paragraph split into two equal columns. Magazine style. Not two separate columns with separate text. One column with text that slows down and into the next column.

Hmmm, I can barely understand how you want to do it, can you sketch it somehow for me so I can understand what you want to do with it, sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards,
Art

How the text block currently is: http://i66.tinypic.com/34ifnlw.png How I want the text block to look / function: http://i68.tinypic.com/w6rzvt.png

Hi,

You can write the following code in the field Custom CSS in your dashboard:

.single-portfolio .wpb_wrapper p {
-webkit-column-count: 2 !important;
-moz-column-count: 2 !important;
column-count: 2 !important;
}

Kind regards,

Hi there – when I try to update the theme, I go to Envato Toolkit in my wp backend, then hit the Theme tab. It says “There is a new version of Kalium available. View version 1.8.8.1 details or update automatically.”

I click “update automatically” but then nothing happens. It directs me to a page where the Envato Toolkit page is still highlighted in the left nav, but the contents of the page are blank. I’ve waited about 10 minutes in case it was updating and just not notifying me, but nothing happens. That url is : http://dev.veneerstudio.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=envato-wordpress-toolkit&action=upgrade-theme&theme=kalium&item_id=10860525&_wpnonce=82bdc1f119

When I reload the page, the message about needing to update the theme is still there, so I know it didn’t work.

Can you help?

Hi,

This seems related to a conflict between WP and your server configuration. In this case, since the automatic update is not working, you can update the theme manually, as if it was a new theme. So, you can download the new version from the “Downloads” section of your Themeforest account and install it as described in: http://documentation.laborator.co/kb/kalium/getting-started-kalium/installation-7/

Kind regards,

Rodrigo
