having trouble with portfolio items showing up after updating to WP 4.5 and Kalium 1.8.9. This used to show all 37 portfolio items upon scroll, now only shows 10 (and not all within the categories) http://shirleytse.com

Thoughts on how to fix?

actually I fixed it. In the Valium portfolio settings I changed portfolio items per page to -1. It was set to WP default and I think that may have changed in the move to v4.5

Hi Nostatic,

Glad to hear that your problem is solved now.

Have a nice day! :)

Hi team!

Everything was fine and with no reason all my images stop showing up when my child theme is active? Any reason for this? If I the child theme isn’t active then I can see the images but I didn’t touch my child theme for anything to happen.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi guys, we noticed on the portfolio items pages, that it is possible to tick ‘allow comments’. Is this something that would be featured on the portfolio page? And if not, could we potentially add the Disqus Comments plugin? thanks a lot!

Hi ije_oma,

Glad to hear that :)

Hi Art, what about this one: we are using visual composer to make a portfolio item. We’d like to insert sharing options and the like button, but they are not available when setting up the item in this mode. How do we enable these features? thanks

Hi

Can you please temporarily add social buttons in the end of file, so while we are planing to insert Visual Composer Sharing Buttons for portfolio items.

Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/Zay2+ and replace it in this directory (of the theme): kalium/tpls/

It will display share buttons in the end of portfolio item.

Arlind

Trying to create a portfolio in the same format as the example you provide on your website http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/agency/ but do not seem to have a ‘portfolio’ area on my WP dashboard (usually there is one, just as there is one for ‘posts’ and ‘pages’ etc.) Can you walk me through how to make this work?

Hi Belinvk,

Thanks for writing in! Would 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.

Hello, when I go to activate visual composer, it is taking me to a different page that says I do not have a copy of the plugin and cannot activate it. I followed the steps in the video, and my screen does not look like that. Can you help me unlock the visual composer so that I can use it on my site?

Hi Lula,

Thanks for reaching out! Please don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

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.

Best,
Imran

Thank you very much, I didn’t even know that existed. It’s working great now.

Hi there,

You’re welcome. Glad to hear that your problem is solved now.

Have a nice day! :)

I was trying to implement this pen (http://codepen.io/quasimondo/pen/lDdrF) into Kalium as a background color. I’ve placed the Script into the footer, placed the css into custom css, and then tried editing portfolio-listing.php with a class on the main container. Any advice? This is on a local site

Hi psdower0406

This is a very custom request, and is out of our scope, but i will try to help you only this time for this kind of questions.

Please add this code in functions.php (preferably in child theme of Kalium):

add_action( 'kalium_wrapper_start', 'gradient_bg_color_custom' );

function gradient_bg_color_custom() {
    ?>
<div id="gradient" />
<style>
    #gradient {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        padding: 0px;
        margin: 0px;
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        top: 0;
        z-index: 0;
    }
</style>
<script>

var colors = new Array(
  [62,35,255],
  [60,255,60],
  [255,35,98],
  [45,175,230],
  [255,0,255],
  [255,128,0]);

var step = 0;
//color table indices for: 
// current color left
// next color left
// current color right
// next color right
var colorIndices = [0,1,2,3];

//transition speed
var gradientSpeed = 0.002;

function updateGradient()
{

  if ( jQuery===undefined ) return;

var c0_0 = colors[colorIndices[0]];
var c0_1 = colors[colorIndices[1]];
var c1_0 = colors[colorIndices[2]];
var c1_1 = colors[colorIndices[3]];

var istep = 1 - step;
var r1 = Math.round(istep * c0_0[0] + step * c0_1[0]);
var g1 = Math.round(istep * c0_0[1] + step * c0_1[1]);
var b1 = Math.round(istep * c0_0[2] + step * c0_1[2]);
var color1 = "rgb("+r1+","+g1+","+b1+")";

var r2 = Math.round(istep * c1_0[0] + step * c1_1[0]);
var g2 = Math.round(istep * c1_0[1] + step * c1_1[1]);
var b2 = Math.round(istep * c1_0[2] + step * c1_1[2]);
var color2 = "rgb("+r2+","+g2+","+b2+")";

 jQuery('#gradient').css({
   background: "-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from("+color1+"), to("+color2+"))"}).css({
    background: "-moz-linear-gradient(left, "+color1+" 0%, "+color2+" 100%)"});

  step += gradientSpeed;
  if ( step >= 1 )
  {
    step %= 1;
    colorIndices[0] = colorIndices[1];
    colorIndices[2] = colorIndices[3];

    //pick two new target color indices
    //do not pick the same as the current one
    colorIndices[1] = ( colorIndices[1] + Math.floor( 1 + Math.random() * (colors.length - 1))) % colors.length;
    colorIndices[3] = ( colorIndices[3] + Math.floor( 1 + Math.random() * (colors.length - 1))) % colors.length;

  }
}

setInterval(updateGradient,10);
</script>
    <?php
}

It will look like:

Hey there. How come the custom portfolio item URL prefix isn’t reflected in the <title>? It always shows up as Portfolio – Blog Name. Where can I change this? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please add this code in the functions.php of Child theme:

add_filter( 'portfolioposttype_args', 'portfolio_title_custom' );

function portfolio_title_custom( $args ) {
    $args['labels']['name'] = 'Guests';
    return $args;
}

This will change portfolio post type title.


Best regards,
Arlind

Awesome! Thanks Arlind. :)

Hi superhighfives,

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!

Hello,

I just updated my Kalium Freelance theme to the latest version (1.8.9). I also updated Wordpress to the latest version as well. My Contact and About pages are not working. Both pages are completely blank aside from my logo at the top of the page. I am also not able to navigate my way around the website from these two pages.

What can I do to fix this?

Thank you

Hi there,

I have an incredibly dumb question that I unfortunately can’t seem to find any documentation/support for. How do I add images to a single portfolio page? I am comparing my own Side Portfolio page to one of your demo pages (which has several images) and can’t seem to find where those images are attached to it. I have no trouble adding a featured image or adding images directly to the post, but can’t for the life of me figure this out. Help very much appreciated!

Hi mrconkin,

When adding or editing a portfolio item, scroll down to the page and in the Parameters and Options and then switch to Portfolio Gallery, see screenshot below for more information:

HI

Thanks for your reply. I have all the plugins updated.

The problem is that the vimeo video is not showing only the URL to the video on the vimeo server.

Please have a look at the link and see what I mean.

many thanks.

Hello Kalium team.

I really enjoy your theme for some time now, it really helped me a lot.

I have a question about a new portfolio item i want to make. I have HD pictures and i added caption to the pictures. I want the pictures to open as light-box because i want them to open to full screen and as slideshow. The problem with light-box portfolio item is that i cannot add main description to that item, only the title of the portfolio item is shown, not the description.

I made other types of portfolio items but i want the pictures to open to full screen with caption and show the description of the Portfolio item. HOW TO DO THAT?

Please advise Thank you in advance

Hi Christosgeor

If you are using Lightbox item type (see here) then the image will contain description by default, as shown here:

http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/photography/#subway-stop

If this is not your case, can you please give me your page URL so I will check if I can help you in that case.

As for your next question about logo, add this custom CSS to reduce logo size in mobile devices:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    .main-header .logo-and-menu-container .logo-image {
        max-width: 50px;
    }
}

You may change that 50px value to your own preferred size which will be applied in mobile/tablet screen size.


Best regards,
Arlind

Thank you for your reply. I want to make this portfolio item http://erebos3d.com/portfolio/interior-collection/ a lightbox type but the general description of the item isn’t showing in lightbox portfolio type, only the title appears.

As for the logo I will add this code now to css thank you.

Hi Christosgeor,

Based on portfolio page, it is not possible to show the title and description, you must either choose title or description you want to show. This is restricted because of external library we use, it doesn’t support that thing. I am sorry about this.

Arlind

Hey guys,

I really like your theme (I want to use it as the demo Freelancer (http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/). But when I open that demo on my iPhone the hover-effect on the homepage (with the eye) is not displayed correct.. So that is a thing I want to change to the hover-effect of the demo Agency (http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/agency/).

So I was curious if this is possible in the theme?

And is it also possible to chose another menu-type than displayed in the demo’s?

Looking out for your reply!

Cheers, Ferre

Hi Ferre,

Thanks for dropping by! Upon checking, the hover effect seems to be working fine at our end:

is it also possible to chose another menu-type than displayed in the demo’s?

Hi there, quick question concerning Google Maps with a Snazzymaps- Modification: Is it possible to adjust the Colors (especially the background) of legal disclaimer on the bottom of each map?

I’m using a dark grey layout on my contact site, and the light area beneath the text just doesn’t look too good. It’s obviously not allowed to remove this area, but a little modification would help a lot – how do I get there?

http://i.imgur.com/c1uYMTM.png?1

Also – on my Site I use a 25px Theme Border. The Google Logo on the left and the Disclaimer on the right are both beneath this border (“oogle”, which doesn’t look too good either. Maybe custom CSS might help?

Thank you, really appreciate your work here!

Hey developers. What about google font support in chrome and safari browsers at IOS devices? I have issues, cause google font are applying only for latin letters but not for cyrrilic!!! (nefa-architects.ru)

Hi Mertsa

In order to add support for Cyrillic character set, please add this code in functions.php:

add_filter( 'kalium_google_font_subset', 'kalium_google_font_subset_list' );

function kalium_google_font_subset_list( $subset ) {
    return "latin,cyrillic";
}

Please note that this will add support for the Cyrillic characters, but also the font must support cyrillic chars as well in order to fully work.

Hi there. I have a few issues, which I hope you can help me figure out…

1. I can’t update my Slider Revolution plugin – I currently have version 5.2.4.1 installed

2. I can’t edit my sliders anymore… (might lead back to issue no. 1)

That’s it for now.

BTW I am working on a local installation, so I can’t give you access…

I have the new version of Wordpress installed (4.5)

Hello, First a big shout out for this excellent theme! I never had a theme so well designed and so easy to set up! I seem to have a little bug though. I’m using the carousel portfolio (type 3). The main images are full width, way too big, and with opacity 0.5. The next/previous images are not visible. Have I missed something? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Regarding the versions of image, WordPress will generate these thumbnails automatically and they won’t affect your site loading time cause only the right image size will be used in your site.

Hello, I’m back to work on my website and still trying to find a solution to order my portfolio items randomly. I installed several plugins. ‘WP order-by’ works, but only orders the first couple of portfolio items. When I scroll down the page, the next items revealed are still ordered by category.

Could you help me modify the theme file managing portfolio items order?

Thanks a lot for your help! Mathias

Hi Mathias,

We have moved our support system to Ticksy, which is more advanced and secure support system management.

If you need our support please just write a ticket on our external support system.

Take me to item support >

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi I tried to find the answer in the comments but couldn’t find it so could you send me the code that enables me to add the like and share in the portfolio while using visual composer? Thank you!

Hi there, I talked with the developer and he said that the Visual Composer portfolio doesn’t have the like and share included because there is no place where to insert it, if you want to we can give you a custom code which requires theme modifications to work.

Kind Regards, Art

Hi Art

We are in the process of implementing this option but it is still not finished so when its finished you will see it within new update of Kalium.

But if you really need this option now, here is what you need to do:

1. Open this file: /wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/portfolio-single-7.php

2. Copy this line of code:

<?php include locate_template( 'tpls/portfolio-single-like-share.php' ); ?>

3. Add it on line 21 (before code that starts on line 22).

This will work for you.

Arlind

Hi Lab!

I wanted to change the theme name to delete any reference on kalium in the source code. So I’ve renamed the folder via FTP and renamed “theme name: my name” in the style.css. Then switch to new theme in dashboard.

Sadly it looks like I’m losing the whole customization I did to the theme, like font, branding, colors, menu positions and so on.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Hi Tarmicle

Is it possible to send me the URL of this page that fonts doesn’t load.

In the next release we are going to change file names and remove “kalium” from files, so when you want to change theme name, simply rename the parent folder and thats all.


Best regards,
Arlind

By changing the folder name, I’m losing all customizations.
