Hi,

Twitter sharing function doesn’t work on my blog when reading it on mobile devices (Desktop PC is fine).

It only takes you to Twitter but doesn’t create a sharing link.

Hi Philluw

I have managed to test and fix this issue, here is for you the quickfix:

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

This should work because I have tried on my device.


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi Arlind,

That works brilliantly! Thank you so much!

Hi Philluw,

Glad to hear that the problem is now solved, and thanks for reporting this problem, we will integrate this fix on the next version of Kalium too :)

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!

Best regards,
Arlind

Hi there,

After the updates, somehow at my portfolio pages the menu and the start of the portfolio page got merged together. q1: What I would love is the text of the portfolio pages to start similar where the tiles of my main page start. How can I change this? q2: It seems the hamburger Icon is not in line with the rest of the page (vertically, but just slightly positioned to the left, how can I alter this? q3: wherever I activate a sticky menu, the hamburger icon changes from black to red, white and red. It is possible to keep this in black?

Thank you so much!

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for writing in!

#1 Upon checking, everything seems to be working fine. Would you please clarify a little more? So that we can be of your assistance.

#2, #3 No hamburger icon can be found in your navigation menu (http://drops.laborator.co/1c2gB ).

How do I decrease the font size of the price on a single product page?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for reaching out! I see that you don’t have the “Support Subscription” for this theme listed next to your name; we can’t provide support for customers who don’t have the support package.

I seem to have lost the space between the category of my blog post and the icon? Any ideas why? Thanks.

CAPTURES BENEATH VIDEOS AND SLIDE SHOWS

On my blog I used this CSS to activate permanent captures underneath IMAGES (“tittel”) on portfolio pages:

.single-portfolio-holder .slick-slider .photo .caption {
background: none !important;
position: relative;
color: #898989 !important;
opacity: 1;}

How can I do the same (activated captures underneath the item) for both VIDEOS and SLIDE SHOWS?

Thank you!

Hi Beimer,

Thanks for reaching out! The particular customization could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can provide. You may wish to consult with a developer, who can help you with this. Please read the following for more details about this situation: http://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy#whats-not-included-item-support

after updating workpress i can’t see the the THUMBNAILS anymore

Hi Zaydia,

Thanks for writing in! It seems that you are using an older version of our theme and the latest version that we just launched is 1.8.9. If your theme version is an older one, then please upgrade to the latest.

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 :)

Important: Please don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

Hello, I’m trying to add a simple search box to the main menu. Is it there an option on the theme settings?

Thank you.

Hi Fadel,

Thanks for reaching out! Please navigate to Laborator -> Theme Options -> Header and Menu -> Menu Settings, as per shown here: (http://drops.laborator.co/KgcJ ).

Best,

Thank you!! By the way, I was meaning with the standard menu. I’ve finally installed it in a sidebar instead so it is all good.

Thanks!

Hi Fadel7,

Glad to hear that your problem is solved now :)

Kind regards,

After upgrading the theme to Kalium 1.8.9 i can’t save the changes in the “laborator” menu any more. Are the any know reasons for that issue or some solutions to solve this problem?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! Kindly try clearing your browser’s cache or testing on a different browser and see if the issue has resolved. Otherwise, we’d recommend trying to reinstall the theme again, as some of the core files of the theme would be missing.

Sorry, I also forgot to mention that when I try to update the Visual Composer plugin individually, the system says:

“here is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 4.11.2 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. Download new version from CodeCanyon.”

but of course in CodeCanyon I am asked to buy the plugin.

Hi andyefth,

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

So i think that are using an old version of our theme, and the latest version for the moment is (1.9), 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: After you update the theme please don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support. Specially visual Composer :)

Kind regards,

Hi. I want to change the universal body text color. There is not option on Theme Styling to change body text. I see the skin typing here http://alona.thebrandinista.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-15-at-4.27.42-PM.png

But where can i change the font color of the body text throughout the site as in the blog, portfolio and general text pages?

HI Brandinista,

Thanks for writing in! Please navigate to the paragraph color, as per shown here (http://drops.laborator.co/10h8y ).

Images are missing off every page of website. Can’t update Kalium theme through Envato. No ‘Themes’ tab option available after refreshing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Albeedalbee,

Thanks for reaching out! This seems related to a conflict with the configuration of your server. You may try upgrading via FTP, please read out the following:

http://documentation.laborator.co/kb/kalium/getting-started-kalium/installation-7/

We’ve got it up and running now! Thank you. Regenerated another API key and were able to successfully update everything.

Right now the pre-packaged Layer Slider says it needs an update, however, after going through the updater it simply says “The plugin is at the latest version.” Do we need to delete the plugin and reinstall?

Hi albeedalbee,

Glad to hear that the problem is now solved :)

As for your other question, on some servers Layer Slider can’t be updated, so you need to follow the procedure as we have described on the changelog:

If you can’t update LayerSlider, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and delete LayerSlider plugin then install it from Install Plugins page again. Your current sliders will not be deleted.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

After the update last night, pictures of profolio page cannot be shown anymore. Visual Composer as well is not working.

We realise the Layer Slider might need a update. We tried it but when i click “update” it shown “The plugin is at the latest version.” message. Tried to delete it from Plugins > Installed Plugins but fail, since the plug-in is active on the main site.

Please suggest solution here. Our site is www.okra-store.com

Hi

This update we have release, didn’t include any fix, except plugin updates, CSS change and small change in kalium-custom.js

Is it possible for you to give me your site URL so I can see what is wrong in your page?


Best regards,
Arlind

Hello,

The profolio page we are referring is: http://www.okra-store.com/okura_brandlist/

It is currently set as “0” on “Items per Page” in “Custom Query”. And it shown all the items in once. However, we indeed wish to show only 12 items first, then auto reveal the rest while scrolling down.

Besides, please suggest why we fail to update “Layer Slider” as well.

Thanks.

Hi jayctf,

1— We are aware of this pagination issue with endless scroll, so I need your FTP in order to check and fix it.

To send us email use this link. Please note that we usually do not respond to emails that request support, because here is our primary support forum. We use contact form just for sending sensitive information. Also emails response time can be up to 7 business days.

Please do not forget to explain your issue again in email, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.

2— It looks like your server is not allowing to update this plugin. But there is a quick fix :)

Can you please download this file laborator_actions.php, and replace it by going to aurum > inc folder. Then try to install Layer Slider again.

Note: If you can’t still update LayerSlider, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and delete LayerSlider plugin then install it from Install Plugins page again. Your current sliders will not be deleted.


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi, you awesome Kalium people. I have another question.

Via the “Portfolio Items” element on my homepage, I have some items that link thru to a full portfolio page, and some that just pop a lightbox. When/if an item only pops a lightbox, I DO NOT want it to have arrows on the right/left to see other images. To be clear, the light box should show ONLY the item that spawned it. How can I disable the other images?? I have the “Lightbox Navigation” set to single image in the Kalium theme options, and have “Next-Prev navigation in single item” toggled OFF, but I just can’t find a setting for this home page behavior anywhere else.

As is, I can’t even figure out WHY it’s actually showing the specific other images that it is—there are other portfolio items that share the same category that don’t appear, so it doesn’t seem to be based on category. When/if I DO want to have that horizontal scroll to be available, how would I control what is shown?

Thanks!

Hi Siouxzie,

Thanks for writing in! Please navigate to Laborator -> Theme Options -> Portfolio Settings -> Lightbox Options, as per shown here: (http://drops.laborator.co/K1Gc ).

In case, the above doesn’t help; kindly provide us with the link to your site and a detailed description of your requirement and perhaps with some screenshots with the issues imprinted, so that we can offer you with a detailed response once we have a better understanding of your problem.

Best,
Imran

Hi Kalium team! :)

I first want to say that your themes are great! You guys do a really good job!

I just started to work back on my portfolio for my graduation exhibition. I didn’t work on it for the past 2-3 months.

I realized that some updates have been done and some things are not working anymore.

The major problem is that pictures are not displayed anymore. All pictures are now replaced by a white empty box. :-\

Can you guys help me with that?

Thanks in advance and have a good day!

Gregory

Hi ThePhoenix500,

Can you change line 763 in laborator_functions.php:

function laborator_show_image_placeholder( $attachment_id, $size = 'original', $class = '', $lazy_load = true, $img_class = 'visibility-hidden' ) {

to

function laborator_show_image_placeholder( $attachment_id, $size = 'original', $class = '', $lazy_load = false, $img_class = 'visibility-hidden' ) {

This will turn off lazy loading. However “Wow” animation will still be applied (the fade effect), you might think its lazy loading, but its still an animation that is used to show items that appear in screen.


Kind regards,
Arlind

Hi Arlind,

Thank you for the code!

Is there a way to turn off Wow effect too?

Thank you very much for your time and help!

Best regards,

Gregory

Hi Gregory,

Actually this is not supported. However here is the quickfix:

Download this file: http://drops.laborator.co/phOp+ and replace it in this directory (of the theme): assets/js/

Then add this Custom CSS:

.wow {
    visibility: visible !important;
}

We are going to add this option in theme options in the future updates.


Kind regards,
Arlind

Two things about the Portafolio:

Using lightbox, when I click into any item inside a portafolio category the lightbox is opened but the gallery is not only showing the pictures of the item I click on it, it’s showing a lot more coming from other portafolio items and categories, I do not know how this is like that, It’s anoying, it make it slower as you are charging a lot more of images than the one that you really want to show, etc: You can take a look at here: http://de-sacy-poterie.com/?post_type=portfolio

Also, I would like to know what is the proper size for images using Carousel and other options of the portafolio view, as they are not showing the pictures properly.

Thanks

Hi

1. If you want to open the images of that item only, then go to Theme Options > Portfolio Settings > Lightbox Options

(view large version)

2. For the Carousel, where do you use it? Can you give me the page URL so I can see what exactly isn’t going well there.


Best regards,
Arlind

I’m just using the Lightbox, and I do have Single Item selected as navigation mode, but still facing that problem with the portfolio on homepage: http://de-sacy-poterie.com If you open the lightbox of any item it will show all the images from all the items, as you can see the counter says that there are 28 images. On that page: http://de-sacy-poterie.com/portfolio/ That is not happening, and when you click any item it shows the images in that item and no more, as it should be.

I do not get why this is happening.

Hi

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.

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.

Hi there,

Is it possible to set the default of the menu to ‘open’ from the kalium theme? Thanks for letting me know. :)

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can choose a ‘Standard Menu’ by navigating to Laborator -> Theme Options -> Header and Menu.

Hi…I’m running Kalium 1.8.8.1 and wish to upgrade to the latest, but when I go to the Envato Toolkit page, I have no “Themes” tab as is shown in the how-to video. I’ve updated Wordpress, stock themes (just in case) and the “Advanced Custom Fields” plugin. Per the Kalium update email I received, I did download it, but not sure what to do at this point. Help!

Thanks in advance

Nm. I just re-entered my API key and got the Themes tab. Thanks anyway!

Hi Siouxzie,

Glad to hear that your problem has resolved.

Have a nice day! :)

Best,
Imran

Awesome theme! I do have one question though: Is it possible to change the hamburger icon to a PNG I will upload myself?

Hi there,

That is possible only if you manually change the code and remove the current code by replacing it with an image, there isn’t any option for this in the admin panel.

Kind Regards,
Art

Last nights updates caused so much trouble, next time with updates, I am taking a day off just to solve all issues, such a nightmare. I truly love this theme and these updates in the end are very helpfull, forum is great, but when all is set up perfectly and updates mess things up, the solution becomes a problem itself.

Hi there,

Can you please tell us what where your problem? We have 6000+ clients and we didn’t received any problem.

Please try to be very specific explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer :)

Kind regards,
