Hi,
I have setup my new website, but two things are not working correctly. Perhaps you can help me. The first issu affects the way how to choose the blog modul for my news item by pages, if the starting page is useing the portfolio.php for my work item. I have solved it by uploading a blog.php file, so that I can choose it instead of the portfolio.php But I suppose that this is not the most elegant way and it should be possible to use both functions for different pages. The second issu affects the portfolio categories. If I choose a category the filter does work, but if I go further and chosse another one I can only see a 404 page. I always have to go back to “all” and then I can go to the category. My website : http://naber.photography
I hope, that I could make me understandable.
Best regards
Jürgen
Hi Jürgen,
If you want to display the blog posts or the words on the first page then you don’t need to touch the code as these changes will be lost when you update the theme, to create a custom homepage go to Pages and create a new page and then go to Settings > Reading and then there you can select the page you just created.

Hi there,
a question you have been asked in the recent past.
Are there more menu options coming soon? I am especially referring to the possibility of placing logos and menus in the center of the page. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Guido
Hi there I have an issue with the menu. I have selected a standard menu, but the order seems wrong to the one on the appearance in WordPress. Also, any time i add a page, this one is display on the main menu. how can i fix this? Many thanks J
I don’t know how to control the order of the top menu, any time i add a page to the site automatically displays on the top menu. Is there any email i can send you, i would like to attach images,it would be easier i think. Thanks
Hi there,
The problem is that you need to select the menus and their menu locations so in each menu you need to add pages and menu links, to do this go to Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations and see if you have set the right menus to their locations so they appear correctly.
I hope that I explained this procedure a bit.
Kind Regards,
Art
SPOT ON! thanks very much 
Hi guys, we have purchased some fonts – how do we integrate those? thanks
Hi ije_oma
If they are webfonts, simply download those files in wp-content/ folder for example font folder that contains css file named font-name.css should be uploaded as follows:
wp-content/font-name/font-name.css
Include the absolute URL in Typography > Custom Fonts URL and then enter font family name in the below field, and its done.
Wow, great Arlind, thanks!
Already given you a big fat well-deserved rating 
Hi Arlind, I meant it very positive. The rating system only allows for one ‘main reason’ to recommend the theme, and I simply (and very positively) meant that I would have selected more positive reasons for us liking the theme if possible. I have already given you a new higher rating but maybe it saves both ratings?
Hi, Great looking theme! I have a client for which it would be great. I just have a couple of questions: - can I customise the full site background colour? - with the portfolio, is it possible to specify a hover colour per portfolio item (or use a secondary image for the hover)?
And lastly, do you provide customisation services if required? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. Manu
Hi studiomanusha
Sure you can apply custom background color or image with custom CSS.
Also a custom hover background color for each portfolio item is supported, here is how you can set it:
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
Thanks Arlind for the fast response. Just checking also: do you provide customisation services if required?
Hi
Actually we are not providing customizations services because we are really busy developing this theme and supporting it. However you may find this kind of services on http://studio.envato.com which is also part of Envato platform.
I hope for you understanding.
No problems, thanks for confirming.
No GravityForms styling in your kalium theme? Tested it and remains unstyled.
Hi Astoundify
Firstly thank you for using our theme.
It is in our plan to implement support for Gravity forms.
We have implemented support for Ninja Forms already, but looking forward to do the same with Gravity forms as soon as possible.
Since this is a premium plugin, is it possible for you to send the plugin files (if you have) via our contact form on themeforest, so I will install the plugin and style it and will send you the modified style file that supports Gravity forms.
Hi, I was wondering if the theme has the .po files for translation? Thanks
Hi datinta
Yes it contains template files for translating theme.
Using this kalium.pot you can translate theme strings via Loco Translate or any other plugin.
Hi Kalium Team,
Great theme, really enjoying building with it. At any rate, I’m having trouble getting my portfolio pages to display. For some reason, they are appearing blank.
Here is my site URL: http://tschiegg.com/
Best, Dave
Hi Dave,
Thanks for reaching out! Upon checking, we can not locate your portfolio pages on your site. Would you please direct us towards your portfolio page link? So that we can offer you with a detailed response.
Best,
Imran
Hi Imran,
Thank you for the swift response. Here is the portfolio page link: http://tschiegg.com/portfolio/
It’s displaying as blank… all of my portfolio posts are showing up in the dashboard, just not linking from the images on the website.
I don’t intend on having a “portfolio” page available to the public. Just a custom masonry portfolio on the homepage.
Best, Dave
Hi Art,
Okay, I’ve deactivated all 3rd party plugins (they were only google analytics/SEO plugins) and took down the ‘coming soon’ page so that it is live. Still having issues with the portfolio pages.
This is not the first time I have developed a theme on this specific website/wordpress install… I’m wondering if it would be best to do a WP reset and start everything again from scratch.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Best, Dave
Hi Laborator team,
So I did a WP reset and have gotten my website back to about where it was before… I’m still having trouble with the portfolio pages. They are displaying blank even though the feature image is showing up on the homepage.
http://tschiegg.com/ http://tschiegg.com/portfolio/torpedo/It’s very bizarre. I’ve tried the Kalium theme on a separate wordpress install and the portfolio pages work. I’m really not sure why it is not working on the tschiegg domain.
Thank you, Dave
Hi Ylli,
The Coming Soon mode is disabled on my website.
Cheers, Dave
Hi Dave,
Can you please send us your site URL and WP credentials on email? We need to investigate your problem and then get back to you with possible solution.

Also i would like to ask how can i password protect my portfolio ? i followed the instructions to insert a password in my page but nothing happens ?
iam using portfolio template and also visual composer in the specific page
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in! For the password protection of your portfolio, please go to your Edit Portfolio -> Publish -> Visibility -> Password protected as per shown here: http://drops.laborator.co/1b9E2.

How to strip “portfolio” entirely from the URL of portfolio items:
url.com/portfolio/item-name -> url.com/item-name
When I change class-portfolio-post-type-post-type.php to this it does not work:
‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ’’, ),
Also, second question:
I am working on a staging WordPress instance to play around with the theme, plugins, styling, etc. Do I now need to buy another Kaluim license to use the theme on our production server, or can I just clone content (or re-install the theme from the zip) and run it on both servers?
Hi
1. Yes this is supported, pease copy and paste this code in the end of functions.php (preferably in child theme):
/**
* Remove the slug from published post permalinks.
*/
function custom_remove_cpt_slug( $post_link, $post, $leavename ) {
if ( 'portfolio' != $post->post_type || 'publish' != $post->post_status ) {
return $post_link;
}
$post_link = str_replace( '/' . $post->post_type . '/', '/', $post_link );
return $post_link;
}
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'custom_remove_cpt_slug', 10, 3 );
/**
* Some hackery to have WordPress match postname to any of our public post types
* All of our public post types can have /post-name/ as the slug, so they better be unique across all posts
* Typically core only accounts for posts and pages where the slug is /post-name/
*/
function custom_parse_request_tricksy( $query ) {
// Only noop the main query
if ( ! $query->is_main_query() )
return;
// Only noop our very specific rewrite rule match
if ( 2 != count( $query->query ) || ! isset( $query->query['page'] ) ) {
return;
}
// 'name' will be set if post permalinks are just post_name, otherwise the page rule will match
if ( ! empty( $query->query['name'] ) ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'portfolio', 'page' ) );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_parse_request_tricksy' );
2. If the site you are working now is the same on live server, then you don’t need to buy an additional license. Otherwise if you use Kalium for another site/domain/purpose then you need to purchase another license.
Beautiful! Thanks Arlind! Worked a charm. Especially love your hackery comments!
Random further question … any suggestions on the best way to add an email capture form in a modal from a portfolio post. Played around with loading a Formidable form via Easy Modal but it fails upon Submit. It closes the modal without the success message and weirdly removes portfolio images from the host page 
Hi philflux
Thanks for your kind comments, I am glad that it worked for you.
1. I am not sure about this plugin, haven’t tested with our theme and I am not sure about the compatibility with our theme. It would be great if you can give me the page URL so I can test it and see if I can provide any solution to this issue.
2. As for portfolio like opening in new window you need to replace a file.
Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/yIaE+ and replace it in this directory (of the theme): assets/js/
Also you need to hard-refresh the page in order to load latest version of this javascript file.
Hi Arlind—Will share URL of the modal example on the laborator.co contact form.
hello after our contact you notify me that you want to look at the page but i can’t give credentials in public and the site is in under construction.
please let me know how can i give you login details.
also iam having a dark green color in visited i think text link how do i change that?
also how do i hide row in visual composer ? iam having large spaces in desktop page
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out! Would you please provide your login credentials with the following information to imran@laborator.co:
1) your WordPress user/password/URL
2) reference the URL of this thread on the email
4) briefly report the issues you have

Hi guys, how do we set up a child theme?
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in! You will need to upload the Kalium-child zip to your website. For more information, the following might be helpful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X86xE86kuYBest,
Imran
Thanks Imran, does this mean that we choose the child theme instead of the full theme when uploading it to wordpress? or do we update both? I am not sure I understood this from the video.
Got it, thanks!
Hi ije_oma,
Child theme can be installed only if the Main theme is installed before.
When you install both, then you can activate Child theme.
P.S: You have created some other tickets, in the future if you have any question, please don’t create a new ticket but just find a ticket that you have wrote to us earlier and just reply there with your new question, because in this way is easy for us to understand what you have done and what is left, also is would be easy for you to post in one thread 
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Ok, sorry Ylli, I guess we just get carried away
and thanks for the help!
Hi ije_oma,
Ok great then 
We saw that you have rated us with 4 stars. We just wanted to tell you that we are working on documentation, and we will populate our documentation page by the end of this month.
We are very small team of 3 members that need to inspect problems of users and find a solution to give them proper help, create themes, improve documentation and a lot of things under the hood. Your rating motivates us to continue our journey. So can you please increase your rating?
If you have any questions please feel free to tell us, we will try our best to give you a solution to your problems/question relating to our theme.

You guys are doing an awesome job Ylli – I will increase the rating immediately.
Hello! I’ve just bought this template and I love it! I was just wondering if it’s possible to set the portfolio masonry to have two different element width? For example, definig items with 33% width and 66% width. Thanks! Mireia
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out! Would you please provide us with the link to your site and a little more clarification of your requirement with some screenshots? So that we can offer you with a detailed response once we get a better knowing of your claim.

Hi Imran,
I’m still working on local, so I can’t show you now, but the ideal would be to have a homepage similar to this image . Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Mireia
Hi again, I managed to do something like that using the Visual Composer plugin, with the ‘Portfolio Masonry’ element. The only thing I can’t manage is to make Titles visible. This element doesn’t give the option, despite other VC elements like ‘Portfolio Items’ does in the ‘Buil query’ button. Can you help me? I attach an image of the image of my homepage. You can also check it at: http://arrieredupeloton.com.mialias.net/ Thanks in advance. Mireia
Hi Mireia,
The problem with Masonry Portfolio is that it only works with fixed “Boxed Sizes” so it is not possible to add “dynamic” sizes in this case because the algorithm will not sort the items properly if they are not defined in fixed sizes. I have tried to achieve this in many ways but it didn’t resulted successfully so we have sticked only to fixed box sizes.
I hope in your understanding.
Hello, I managed to do what I wanted by changeing the portfolio-loop-item-type-2.php file. So now I have titles outside of the box as I liked it. You can check in the website. Thanks for your answer anyway. mireia
Hi,
I have a problems with Lightbox issue because it works different depending on where are you clicking from. I want the Lightbox galleries of each protfolio project to open directly from the homepage, and to do it in the ‘Single Item’ mode.
A – If I click on a ‘Masonry Portfolio’ project (I mean, in thumbnail or title) the lightbox gallery opens directly, but it does it in the ‘Linked’ mode (it prev/next arrows continue through all portfolio items pictures).
B – In the other hand, if I click on a portfolio item in the side menu, a single portfolio page of that project opens, and then you can click in the image and open the Lightbox gallery (in this case, it opens in the ‘Single Item’ mode).
As I said, what I want is a “mix” between this two cases. What can I do?
The website I’m working in is: http://arrieredupeloton.com.mialias.net
Thanks in advanced, Mireia
Hi Mireia,
Great to hear that you have achieved to solve it. In the upcoming update we have changed the implementation of portfolio so please save your changes.
A. Have you set the Navigation mode to “Linked” mode?
B. This makes sense. So let the Navigation Mode to “Linked”, and for side menu add this Custom JS:
<script>
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
$( ".sub-menu li.menu-item-object-portfolio" ).each( function( i, el ) {
var $el = $( el ),
classes = $el.attr( 'class' ),
id = parseInt( classes.match( /menu-item-([0-9]+)/ )[1], 10 );
$el.on( 'click', function( ev ) {
ev.preventDefault();
portfolioOpenLightbox( id );
} );
} );
} );
</script>
But this only work in the current mode you have set in the Portfolio Settings.
Thanks, I’m going to try it. Just one question: where do I have to add the Custom JS? Best, Mireia
Hi Arlind, thanks for your help.
The JS for the sidemenu it wordked, but as you told me just in portfolio page, not in the other ones as About or Contact.
For the Lightbox navigation, what I actually want is to set it in “Single Item”, but even if I set the Navigation mode to “Single Item” mode, in homepage it just keeps it in linked mode. I guess that it’s because I’m using a Visual Composer element to show the Portfolio Masonry.
Is it possible to cancell the “Linked” option so always will make it in the Single Item one? I’ve been looking in the lightgallery-all.js but I couldn’t find what to change. Could you help me with that?
Thanks again, Mireia
Hi Arlind, I was also wondering if I could make work the Custom JS just in home page? Thanks in advanced for your help, Best regards, mireia
Hi Mireia,
In order to make it working in all pages, add this code in functions.php (end of file):
add_action( 'wp_head', 'load_lightbox_gallery' );
function load_lightbox_gallery() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'light-gallery' );
wp_enqueue_style( array( 'light-gallery', 'light-gallery-transitions' ) );
}
We are working in Lightbox gallery type and implementing the new code on it so I can help you with this after v1.9 is published this week.
Thanks Arlind for the code. I’m just waiting for the new version 
I added the code to functions.php as you told me, but lightbox gallery from other pages still don’t work.
Best, Mireia
Hi Mireia,
Can you please paste the entire code that you have added on that file on the Pastebin page, then reply to this comment with the link and i will check if you have made any code mistakes there.
Kind regards,
Arlind
Hello Arlind,
I pasted functions.php here (http://pastebin.com/GX6punaC). The beta version of the website is in http://arrieredupeloton.com.mialias.net/, there you can see that in sidebar meu of homepage direct links to projects open in lightbox, but projects links in sidebar menu of ‘About’ and ‘Contact’ pages doesn’t work at all.
Thanks for your help. Mireia
Hi Mireia,
Here is the modified version of the previous code I gave to you, so the only thing you need to do is replace that wp_head on line 18 with init
It should look like this:
http://pastebin.com/wdcin6nhHi, Arlind I’ve just change it, but it doesn’t work. I’ve check it in firefox, chrome and safari. Does it work in your browser? Mireia
Hi Arlind,
First of all, thanks to the latest version of Kalium, I liked very much the new functionalities, some of them along the lines I am working with.
After installing the new version, the custom JS codes you gave me two for the sidebar menu stopped working. I’ve tried to resolve it by changing the function portfolioOpenLightbox(e,t) for portfolioLightboxOpen(e,t,i) that I found was the new name for the function, so the complete code I copied in custom JS without success was:
<script>
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
$( ".sub-menu li.menu-item-object-portfolio" ).each( function( i, el ) {
var $el = $( el ),
classes = $el.attr( 'class' ),
id = parseInt( classes.match( /menu-item-([0-9]+)/ )[1], 10 );
$el.on( 'click', function( ev ) {
ev.preventDefault();
portfolioLightboxOpen( id );
} );
} );
} );
</script>
I would really appreciate your help if you could tell me if this is the line I should continue working with.
About the other code, the one you send me to make sidebar menu links opening in the lightbox gallery in all pages, I guess I should keep it?
Best, Mireia
Hi Mireia,
The new implementation of Portfolio has changed the way how lightbox works, so to implement it again I need FTP credentials.
Hello, please open a ticket at https://laborator.ticksy.com so we can help you out. Please share your site login credentials in the ticket as well.
Hi…
Is there option for parallax and for “one page” type page in your theme? Your demo pages dont show this so I have to be sure. It’s a beautiful theme but i need that sort of option.
Thanks.
hi, i noticed a bug in your theme: when i set a page to “default homepage” of the site on the wordpress settings, the custom css that i added on this page is not applied. There’s a way to solve it?
actually i’ve hidden the page from the web but i noticed that if i set the same page as standard page, my custom CSS is applied. When i set it as default homepage from WP, instantly my custom CSS is not applied.
if you don’t notice this bug, i gave you access to my website to check it.
.main-header, .big-footer, .main-footer hr {display:none;}
body {font-size: 15px;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;line-height: 1.7;}
.footer-bottom {font-family: ‘Lato’, sans-serif;font-weight:500;}
h2 {letter-spacing: 5px;} h5 {text-transform:uppercase;}
Hi Rovereta,
Thanks for reaching out! Would you mind providing a little more clarification of your requirement and perhaps some screenshots with the issues imprinted? So that we can offer you with a possible solution once we have a better understanding of your problem.
Best,
Imran
it’s very simple: if the custom css box exist, i’m expecting that it works and not that it stops working because i set the page as a default page.
Hi Rovereta,
Can you please send us your WP credentials on email? We need to investigate your problem and then get back to you with possible solution.

okay, i sent you a message with the data just now. But i need to solve it immediately so if you let me know there’s no solutions instead of using the child theme with a custom css in it, i’m going to use it.

Hi again (im franflip account too).
I have install KALIUM theme with “Arquitecte” presets and in a first moment it works well but now, the slider rev & Layer Slider ask me a validation code and my web doesnt works.
What can I do? Thanks!
Hi SinapsiCreativa,
Premium plugins don’t allow us to give customers our license number, so on each premium plugin such as Visual Composer, Revolution Slider and Layer Slider update we release a new update to our theme with the latest version of that plugin included, and customers don’t need to worry about that 
You never need to buy any premium plugins that comes with our theme
To update to latest version of those plugins just make sure that you are using the latest version of our theme and then go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Hi guys, I’ve bought a “Kalium WP theme” and now my plugins are not working:
Slider Rev & LayerSlider WP.
It seems that they need a registration code. Not included with the theme?
Thanks!
For sure, I go again with the other account. Thanks!
Hi guys, I’ve not had a chance to use this for a while but I recently downloaded a new set of files and uploaded to Wordpress. The theme installs and loads on my WP correctly but there is no thumbnail for the theme (it has an image not found question mark) nor the thumbnails for the demo content sections. Also when adding the content for “Blogging” it doesn’t add any of the ‘About Me’ ‘Follow Me’ or ‘Instagram’ sections in the sidebar. Is this normal?
Hi WristyManchego,
Have you followed the installation instructions and did you have any errors during the installation?
Can you please send us your site URL too, so we can investigate your site and then get back to you with possible solution.
P.S. make sure you’ve disabled the Maintenance/Coming Soon mode
Kind Regards,
Art
Sure have. I uploaded the Kalium.zip file via FTP and extracted it. Shows up fine in the Themes section and activates no problem either however the thumbnails don’t show like I mentioned above as well as the extra sections in the sidebar.
Installation here: http://danjwilliams.com.au/creativeheuristic/
Fixed, had to change some php settings and upload via WP. Still unsure how to get the Photo, About Me & Instagram section to the Blog Menu.
Hi WristyManchego,
Can you please read the answer here, this is the same question 
P.S: Note that the answer may already be posted so search within the forum before asking a question, there is a chance that you will find the same question answered.
Thanks for your understanding

Hi, could you help me with these issues?
http://www.tropic-online.com/connect/1. In the contact form, I would like the fields to appear below the description. Right now the descriptions “name” and “email” are inside the fields.
2. In the contact form, I activated the subject field but I cannot see it.
3. Is it possible to reduce the space between the message field and the send button?
many thanks
Hi, I’m not sure if I’m missing something, I went to the Envato Toolkit and it says I have the latest version of the Kalium theme, which is 1.8.8.1. It does not give me the option to update.
Hi Tropicando,
I’m really sorry for my previous comment, because that comment was meant for another user.
This is not possible with our contact form. If you want to edit Contact so much we would recommend you to use Ninja Forms plugin.
Kind regards,
