Hi there

The examples of how we can set our page on kaliumtheme.com is great, but how do I actually build them? I’m particularly having trouble working out how to get full width portfolio posts happening? In each portfolio item, there isn’t the full range of options that show on kaliumtheme.com, and if I use the visual composer, it doesn’t go full width.

Please help. Thanks

Hi mygeneralstore

It depends on portfolio item type if it supports full width.

You just copy the URL of our demo item and I will give you the directions how to create it.

You should import demo content of Kalium in order to be able to understand how layouts are build, those will be guiding examples for you.

Dear kalium,

I recently updated Kalium to 1.8.9. on renskrikhaar.com. I found the following problem: Two portfolio items of 5 in the category paintings are not showing up on the homepage but they are published. These are:

http://renskrikhaar.com/series/painting-2008-2010/ http://renskrikhaar.com/series/painting-2011-2013/

When I create another project in the same category, it replaces the another project, hence, it shows only 3 projects in this category. In the other category all portfolio items are shown. The loading icon loads for quite some time.

I’d like to see a solution for this.

Thanks in advance, Reinier

Hello, today after upgrading my website project www.made-of-wood.net to wordpress 4.5 only all the portfolio and blog images won’t be visable on the pages. i checked everything but didn’t found a solution. on the normal pages everything works well and the images are visable. is it a bug?? please can you help me??

thanks oliver

Hi oliver,

This problem is happening because you are using an old version of our theme (1.8.7.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8.9), 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.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Hi there, i must say i love this template, it works really well!

Only one little thing; in the main demo site the menu and logo color changes to white on the home page, all other pages it’s black. My menu is always black, how do i change the settings of my menu to change to white on the homepage?

p.s. i had to make my own slide in Slider Revolution because this wasn’t imported when installing the demo content. Not sure if this has anything to do with it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi moschx

Thank you for such kind words, we are happy that you love this theme.

To change menu skin and logo for specific page, simply go to Edit page, Parameters and Options > Page Options > Logo and Menu, as shown in the image below:

(view large version)

As for the slider, it is weird sometimes in some hosting environments all content gets imported successfully only revolution slider cannot be imported, it has to do something with import process of Rev slider, method developed by their team. So no worries about that, its just your case and if you switch your hosting environment it will probably work because each host has different configuration.

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 :)

Hi Pau,

Thanks for reaching out! Would you mind providing us with the link to your site and confirm that you are using the latest version of the theme? Meanwhile, make sure that you have more than ten portfolio items and kindly take a look at: (http://drops.laborator.co/uQ ).

Best,
Imran

Hi Imran, i have more than ten portfolios items and the appearance are the same (http://drops.laborator.co/uQ). but a check of the latest version = Your theme requires an update!

Required version is: 1.8.8.1 Your version: 1.8.9 ??

Best, Paul

Hi There,

I have just set up and installed Kalium (shop demo) to my wordpress and domain. www.helloblue.com.au

It is saying i need to activate my Visual Composer but when i go to Activate it says No LICENSES FOUND.

Could you please help me with this, Thanks so much!

Mitch

Hi Mitch,

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.

If any of theme required plugins has released new update after the date that we released Kalium 1.8.9, we will include the latest version of that plugin in the next update.

You never need to buy any premium plugins that comes with our theme

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thank you!

Glad to hear that :)

Cheers!

Hi,

Can you give me some guidance on how in the Shop (a category of products) I can change the styling of the Product Title and Price so that rather than displaying in separate columns next to each other I can have them one after the other on separate lines?

Currently it:

Thumbnail Product Name £100.00

But I need to get it to show as:

Thumbnail Product Name £100.00

The main reason for this is that if there is a long product name it keeps overlaying on top of the price.

I can see the bootstrap column CSS. So I presume I need to edit the correct Woocommerce theme files to remove the column code and place it in the child theme. I just can’t work out what the relevant file is.

Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick,

Can you please write URL of this exact page here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have possible solution.

Hello. I want to change the primary font size. I wonder how. FYI, I am making website with wordpress for the first time. I asked for a detailed description, plz.

Hi mayisland,

Glad to hear that you found the answer :)

The font size that i wrote to you works for all the screen sizes.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thanks for the help. Is it not possible to font size adjust separately?

Hi mayisland,

Yes that is possible, just put the CSS codes with the desired sizes on the Responsive tab.

Hi,

I have a bug with woocommerce (last version) & Kalium last version. On the category pages, some products are displayed twice, some are missing. When i try the smas page on the WP child theme, everythings is okay. Could you help me? I know i don’t have renew the support, but it seems a bug in the theme and not something I do wrong.

Thanks for you help.

Hi there,

I just wanted to make sure if this is a theme issue or not by checking our demos but it seems that in our demos there is no issue with the Product Categories.

We can help you on any user that has purchased the theme and it’s support, so to proceed further you should subscribe for extra support.

Hi,

LOVE the theme and working on a small project for an intranet version of it with the College I work for but I can’t seem to update the home page that is the ‘portofolio’ no matter what I add it doesn’t work :/

Could you help me please?

www.highbury.ninja is the website.

Thanks!

Hi willerific,

Can you please try to be very specific about the question and explain it more to us, what exactly your are trying to add there or something more. In this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer :)

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Hello! Sorry it’s me being stupid :) I’ve fixed it now! But my next question is where can I edit the map design (colours) in the contact page? I have found how to edit the placeholder and lon and lat coordinates but how do I edit the colours?

Hi willerific,

If you want to apply map style or how you say color then please go to this site:

https://snazzymaps.com
Choose the map style you want, click Copy:

(view large version)
Then paste that code to Map Style in the Map shortcode.

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 Kalium team,

since the latest update few odd things occured on this site: wp.capitalhaus.fi

1) Portfolio page is now showing only 10 portfolio items 2) Loco translations disappeared for Kalium 3) footer widgets disappeared

All plugins should be updated as I updated the theme.

Additionally, Visual Composer is asking for activation code for updates etc. can I ignore this message?

Kind regards,

Tiina

Hi Tiina

Its so weird! Do you change any setting in the mean time or do the widgets automatically disappear?

This might be an issue of a plugin I guess, because if you see, we use the latest theme version and widgets always remain the same on all demo we use them.


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi Arlind,

this certainly has got something to do with updates, since last night wp did an automatic system update into 4.5.1 and the blimming footer widgets are gone into the wind again :-(

Any thoughts? Should I take this up with the service provider?

Kind regards,

Tiina

Hi Tiina,

That would be the best, because I sincerely don’t know what exactly is causing this. I am really sorry about that, but there should be some kind of database reset which may be related to a auto-restore or similar thing.


Best regards,
Arlind

When my main portfolio page is loaded thumbnails are only displayed as empty grey box items unless i scroll down passing ” show more ” . Only then the thumbnails before “show more” are displayed properly along with the new ones that appear due to the scroll down.

I get a similar problem in each portfolio item page – some images are displayed as grey box items. Image size is everywhere in the site adjusted for web view – and everything used to work and load just fine for some months now. I noticed this problem just this the last week.

Please help ! Cheers

Hi designerldg,

You have some problems on the Visual Composer, as you can see here

(view large version)

so can you please check that code and see if you can fix it.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

I m afraid I’ m not able to fix the code there. Could you please be kind enough to help me fix this.

Kind regards,

ps: A developer did some slight css code customizations on my site – I did not do them myself. However I would feel more confident if you fix this since I dont want to have any similar problems net time I update.

Hi designerldg,

We will try if we can do something there, if we can’t do anything, you will need to recreate that page again.

So 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.

Hi Arlind,

Last week you was so kind to offer us help with some css for the contact form. I am resending the problem here below (plus some extra questions) but will also send you an email with our website credentials.

1) In the contact form, is it possible to leave out the ‘message title’ and only keep ‘email title’ and ‘submit title’. Right now it looks like this http://cubeupload.com/im/qTZZbq.png. In this way, we’d get message less emails from people, and we can ourselves accumulate the emails in a list. We’d also like to do two changes to the style a) extend the underline to also include the user’s email, b) center the form on the page. To sum up, we’d like to make these changes. http://cubeupload.com/im/NkWRoZ.png

Moreover, how do we reduce space between portfolio items in the masonry? and how to reduce height of footer?

Questions about the portfolio item design: We want to make a story that includes 5 smaller stories, which each has its own set of images. To that end we had two ideas in mind using the current portfolio item types:

1. using a side portfolio, we wanted to do something similar to this https://www.theline.com/stories, where the right side contains text and the left side includes images. As each story has its own set of images, we want to have the images scrolling down until the end of one story, after which the screen would scroll down to a new story. Some of these scrolling effects are already in place, so we’re wondering if this is possible? 2. instead of 1), we thought instead that we could use a zig zag portfolio but where the images are a small gallery instead. Is that possible?

Finally, our portfolio images are not visible on our website and has never been. What are we doing wrong?

Thanks so much again.

Hi guys, how do we change in-text link color? We have tried using the laborator menu area (specifically the link one) but that only changes our logo color. thanks a lot

Hi guys, we saw that you previously helped some people with hover effects, and we’re hoping you could advise us on the following: can we make a hover effect of an inner column or of a column (and at the same time make the text color change when hovering)? http://cubeupload.com/im/lzY88R.png

Hi ije_oma

As for the questions in the first thread, I have replied to you via email and managed to fix most of them.

Here are my answers for your remaining questions:

Hi guys, how do we reduce the size of the images on this page http://cubeupload.com/im/2qkgik.png (post masonry grid) to something with this size https://www.nowness.com/? Thanks :-)

1. This widget is developed by Visual Composer team so it would be great if you can ask this question to their forum here.

Hi guys, how do we change in-text link color? We have tried using the laborator menu area (specifically the link one) but that only changes our logo color. thanks a lot

2. I don’t exactly know where you want to change this color, please can you guide me with a screenshot and what color do you want to set?

Hi guys, we saw that you previously helped some people with hover effects, and we’re hoping you could advise us on the following: can we make a hover effect of an inner column or of a column (and at the same time make the text color change when hovering)? http://cubeupload.com/im/lzY88R.png

3. This depends on what hover effect you want to set, it can be achieved with Custom CSS and that will be added to Visual Composer Custom CSS.

We have been answering to users with Portfolio Hover Effects which are already implemented in Page Options > Other Settings (only for portfolio items).

Hopefully this will help you.

Hello, I’m having trouble with installing the Agency demo content. I’ve installed the theme, installed all of the plugins recommended, but all I get when I preview my site is a big long string of code below the logo/menu. The site is www.bockmaster.com.

Can you help?

Hi Ylli,

My apologies, it should be up now!

Thanks, Missy

Hello, My site is live now, can you please help me?

Thanks, Missy

Hi Missy,

It seems that you haven’t installed or activated Visual Composer, so please go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

Hi, I love this theme!

However currently, I’ve uploaded about ten portfolio items, however they do not show up on the on the portfolio pages.

I have selected the category within each item and I have also number of homepage items to -1 (to make all visible).

It’s still not showing up on the front end. What am I doing wrong?

Hi rijutaagarwal,

Are you sure that you have attached featured images on those projects?

(view large version)

You need an image of your projects to be able to show those projects nice on your portfolio page.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thank you again for the wonderful theme. I’ve been able to do all of the customizing I want except for one last thing I can’t figure out.

Is it possible to alter the vertical spacing between thumbnails when I have visible titles below portfolio items? Changing the padding only works for the horizontal spacing, and I can’t find the controlling code.

Here is a link to the page so you can see what I’m talking about. I’m just trying to get the vertical and horizontal spacing to be the same.

http://ito-studio.com/?page_id=3283

Thank you for your help.

Hi lashavidia

Firstly let me thank you for such kind words, we are happy to hear them.

As for your spacing of your portfolio items, here apply this code, it should work for you:

.isotope-item.portfolio-item-type-1.with-padding.sm-half-padding-lr.grid-four.portfolio.type-portfolio.status-publish.has-post-thumbnail.hentry {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

.portfolio-holder .product-box .info {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}


Best regards,
Arlind

Thank you for the code. For some reason it only affects the spacing between the 1st and 2nd rows. All others remain the same. it kind of works if i go through and assign the code to each individual image, but I feel like there must be a default spacing somewhere that effects them globally.

All I’m trying to do is get the vertical and horizontal spacing to be the same for the entire portfolio grid. Is the portfolio grid layout js based?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi lashavidia,

It seems that the code I gave you is not selecting all elements otherwise would have to fix the spacing without needing to enter it for each element, so here is another code that will works, because I tested in your page and was working fine (delete the last one I gave you):

.portfolio-holder .isotope-item {
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}

.portfolio-holder .product-box .info {
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}


Best regards,
Arlind

Hi, how can I change left and right margins on a web-site page ?

Hi there,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .container {

    }
}

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thanks a lot, it works!
