Hello,
First of all, great theme, real classy. But my client wants to assigns tags to each of his projects so i have this question :
Has the sub-items portfolio feature been implemented yet ?
” This is common request and I have added it to our todo list. This will be implemented in v1.8 or at the latest in v1.9, because we are working in an important update which will be available in a week.” 6 month ago 
Found the solution.
Great theme ! Would recommend it 
Hi, i’m having issues with the Parallax effect of visual composer and your theme. I’ve tried a lot of times to make a full width row with parallax (using Laborator Parallax) but it’s not working. it’s a known bug? 
Hi
Parallax was an issue in the previous versions, please make sure you have latest version of Kalium, because I have tested and worked, I’ve recorded my screen to let you know how it works on my end:
http://drops.laborator.co/1iz9THere are the applied settings for Parallax Row:
okay but what happens if you don’t use “full height row” function? because i’m using Kalium 1.8.9 and i still have problems with parallax. 
no i’m not using child theme. It’s a fresh kalium install with all the plugins updated. the parallax is still not working 
Is it possible to send me the content of that page (WordPress editor) copy the shortcodes (classic text editor) and save them here:
http://pastebin.com/So I can use the same code and see if it works for me.
There are 2 types of problems:
one is that the parallax is not working properly: http://dunhillclub.derigo.com/ you can see the parallax effect on the 1st image after the video. usually parallax works differently but here we can see that the image is floating on casual way on the page…
the second problem is that the “background” function of a row is not working: if i set a background color for a row it’s okay, but when i set an image as background from the visual composer options, i can’t see this image: so this is not possible to use the visual composer background (and parallax).
Hi Rovereta
The parallax type implemented on our demo works that way, for example you can check it here:
http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/architecture/studio/If you want to learn more about how this is implemented, here I have saved the page contents:
http://pastebin.com/k0Hj1D2GThe background color already works, here I made a test video for you to demonstrate it:
http://drops.laborator.co/1agZEHi Laborator, as you said i updated my Kalium theme to the latest version but i continue having issues with the background function. If i set a background image for a visual composer row, i can’t see it. It works only the background color feature.
Check it!
i’m not talking about parallax effect. i’m talking about the background feature of visual composer. i cannot set a background in visual composer because it doesn’t show it.
1. now that you added parallax to that image, row margins are not working anymore.
2. if i don’t want parallax but i want to use background image from visual composer’s “design options” tab, it’s not working.
Hi Rovereta,
1. You are right about this, this will be fixed in the next update.
2. If you want to set a backround image for a row, you should wait a little when you assign background image, thats how it works, see this video that explains how to set bg image for row:
http://drops.laborator.co/12mp9Hopefully this will work for you too.
try adding a full width row with a background: when i preview the page, it shows a blank space instead of the background image
Hi Laborator,
I have new issues I hope you can help me fix :
1) The tag system in the portfolio section is full of bugs. For example if you click first on the tag ‘fashion design’ then ‘print design’, you will only get the fashion design projects which are also tagged ‘print design’ (it should be all the projects tagged ‘print design’ that should appear). Whereas if you click on the ‘print design’ tag first and then on ‘fashion design’, you will find a 404 Not Found page. Same if you click ‘accessory design’ and then ‘print design’, nothing appears…. I dont believe this is normal, what’s the solution here ? You can go and see for yourself here : http://www.colombinejubert.com/printdesign/ 2) In the blog section, which I renamed “Carnet”, the pictures appear huge on a computer screen, where on a phone screen it’s better resized. Ive tried to diminish the size of the image on screen with post settings options, or by changing the image dimensions on the media library, but it wont work… Any tips ? To see what I mean, have a look here : http://www.colombinejubert.com/2016/04/19/makoto-suave/Thank you very much in advance, Colombine
Hi Colombine,
Thanks for dropping by! You are using an older version of our theme and the latest version that we just launched is 1.8.9. Please upgrade your theme to solve your problem.
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.
Best,
Imran
Hi Imran,
thanks for your quick answer ! Ive tried through Envato Toolkit to update the theme but the Theme Tab won’t show up. Everything works well with the API key and all, but no tab
It says that maybe ” it’s possible the author has not made it available for auto install yet.” Can Laborator make the tab available for me ? Or is there another way to update Kalium ? Thank you !!
Hi Colombine,
Thanks for responding! You can also manually update your theme, if your server has problems to update your theme from the plugins.
To update Kalium manually just go to your Downloads tab on ThemeForest > go to our item and click Download > then go to your downloads folder and unzip our theme > open folder that you unzipped > unzip kalium.zip > open kalium folder that you unzipped and copy all of it’s content > then go to your WordPress files > wp-content >themes > paste and replace all the files that you copy-ed earlier.
Don’t forget to copy and paste somewhere kalium folder on WordPress before making those changes as a backup 
Kindly let us know, how it goes.
Best,
Imran
Hey hey hey,
so Ive done the update successfully , but it hasn’t solved my tag problem (see description of the tag issue in my first message) ... Help ! What could it be ? Thank you Best Colombine
Hi
1. I encourage you to use “Categories” and not “Tags”, because its our default “Filtering” system for portfolio items. Use tags only when you want to filter items from custom query of Portfolio Items.
Note that we are releasing version v1.9 in a week or two which contains new structure of Portfolio Items and Filters (re-coded for better stability) so this might fix all of your issues with this as well.
2. This is actually not implemented, however I suggest you to try this workaround:
a. Download this library http://adaptive-images.com/download.htm
b. Copy adaptive-images.php and .htaccess into the root directory of your site. If you already have a htaccess file do not overwrite it simply append the .htaccess content in the end of current .htaccess file.
This will works very well.
Ive already updated the theme, it hasnt solved the problem at all…
Hey Laborator, Ive worked a way out, its working now 
Glad to hear that you found out how to make it work 
Hi! Please, why did suddenly al the items in my portfolio disappeared? It is only showing the items I published today. Also I set it to show 4 items per row and it’s showing 3.

Yes! I did update the theme, and also the plugins. But still, the problem persists… Thanks Imran.
Hi Lucisylvia,
Thanks for your response! Would you mind providing us with the link to your site? In the meantime, please don’t forget to attach Featured Image for all your projects:
Because they need an image in order to show on the Portfolio page.

Hi Imran,
the link is www.sylviadegwitz.com
All the portfolio items have the featured images attached. Is was perfect before and suddenly they disappeared. Only the new ones I posted a few days ago are showing.
Thanks Imran.

I’m loving the look of the agency portfolio you have.
Just have a few last questions before I purchase
1) with a masonary style layout is it possible to define the size of the content boxes ie make some span more columns than others or is this defined by the poster image you give it ?
2) can I control the order in which the content boxes appear, it would be great to have my showreel as the first one and (going back to q1) bigger in size than others
3) can I set the poster frame of the content box to be a gif , so that you can see a moving example
4) do you support video headers , and like others themes (uncode) can you create a content block or similar template that you can simply drop into multiple portfolio pages
5) can I load up a portfolio page template such as http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/desk-concept/ And then edit it with visual composer to for example add an extra text block6) do you support drop caps ?
Look forward to hearing from you soon, Oliver
Hi Oliver
1. Actually this is not supported, you may achieve this by modifying custom column sizes with CSS, but this is not officially supported by our theme.
2. Yes, you can control that. Here is our example of case:
http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/masonry-portfolio/variant-2/So you can define custom box sizes for each column and order them on your choice.
3. Yes this is supported, featured image gifs work with our theme
4. Yes, you can just create the page template “Portfolio Page” and then assign your content via Visual Composer which will appear on top of the items.
5. This is predefined portfolio layout and cannot change. However you may add Visual Composer in the content but I am not sure if that works fine with this item time. You have also Visual Composer layout type, so you can compose your portfolio item with VC.
6. Not actually (its shame for us), but if you need we will give you the CSS for that.
I have purchased this theme, all is well and am very pleased with it.
I have 2 slight problem.
1- How do I change the meta-title of Portfolio archive to something else?
2- I often find my portfolio thumb has an empty space in the middle of the last row, how do it fix that ?
(see screenshot) https://cloud.structuremode.com/index.php/s/wUKpfFTSYEJybWeMany thanks
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out!
How do I change the meta-title of Portfolio archive to something else?
Kindly navigate to Laborator -> Theme Options -> Portfolio Settings -> Portfolio Page as per showing in the following:

Would you please provide us with the link to your website and confirm that you are using the latest version of the theme? So that we can go into the further investigation.

Imran
Hi Imran
Many thanks for your reply.
the custom URL prefix we have managed that, but what I was referring to is the page title at top of browser tab.
https://cloud.structuremode.com/index.php/s/ksmpc2OWNNFzkJXas for empty row, please find following like to our test site.
http://wordpress.structuremode.com/projectsyou will notice it at the last row of porfolio thumbs.

Hi Imran
Many thanks,
What I want to change is the meta title on the portfolio page to display something other than ‘Portfolio Archive’
and to confirm all portfolio item has a feature image set.
regards Peter
Hi Peter,
Can you please add this custom code in functions.php (preferably in child theme), it will change “Portfolio” term to your desired title:
add_filter( 'portfolioposttype_args', 'portfolio_title_custom' );
function portfolio_title_custom( $args ) {
$args['labels']['name'] = 'Your Custom Title';
return $args;
}
So rename that Your Custom Title with your title.
Brilliant, many thanks
You’re welcome 
Hi guys,
great theme. I have a question regarding the button which can be added via the “laborator” tab in the visual composer.
I would like to horizaontally center this button in a row, could you tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Unfortunately there isn’t any pre-made option for that but you can achieve it by adding a class to that button, while adding it in the page and then you can access it through that class, for example if you name the button button-centered then the CSS would be:
.button-centered {
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
Kind Regards,
Art
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, adding the class did not seem to work for me. Could I provide you with my login credentials so that you can take a look?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again, Its possible to change slide show proportions for example from landscape to 3:4? >>> http://pracowniastreetartu.pl/disorder/
M
Hi M
You may apply your custom size for gallery images on blog page, here you can define a 3:4 proportional size, so please apply the below code to functions.php in the end of line:
add_filter( 'kalium_gallery_slider_image_size', 'kalium_gallery_slider_image_size_custom' );
function kalium_gallery_slider_image_size_custom( $size ) {
return array( 1140,1520, true );
}
Hopefully this will work for you.
Thanks. Works well 
second thing … How turn off popup gallery?. I prefer to have only simple arrow navigation left and right without active button on each picture to open popup.
Thanks for your quick reply 
Hi, I updated Wordpress and all plugins. Now I can’t see any images on blog page and blog single pages. How can I fix it? >>> http://pracowniastreetartu.pl/blog/

Hi, I want to add a large image page header on my about page similar to the blog posts in Kalium Freelancer. http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/fashions-fade-style-is-eternal/
I added a featured image and chose absolute in the Page Options / Header Options. But no joy.
How do you add this on pages?
Hi Ylli, Here’s my URL http://peteman.scot/about-me/
Had another go but doesn’t seem to work like post pages even though the option is there.
Hi Peteman,
Thanks for the link! You are using an older version (1.8.8.1) of our theme and the latest version that we just launched is 1.8.9. Kindly update your theme first.

Please advise.
Hi PetemanSco,
As i know this feature is available only for the Single Blog posts, but to to that on the Posts pages too, you can follow this procedure that i made for you. Watch the video.
Kind regards,
—Ylli
Hi Ylli, Thanks for your help. That fixed it. The image size needed a little bit of jiggery pokery to make it full width and the same height – but I got there.
http://peteman.scot/about-me-2-2/Hi, I came back to this thread as when I last updated the theme my banner image something changed and its jumped in again. I remembered that you guys helped fix it but the video/help I received is no longer available? 
Strangely enough I got it working by adding this to custom CSS within the page: .wpb_single_image img { height: auto; max-width: none; vertical-align: top; width: 100%; }

Hi! Sorry for bothering again with questions 
1. Can’t find where to translate sidebar I use plugin Loco translate – and I checked already Kalium file for translation, as well Visual Composer and Woocommerce. Do you know – what element (plugin etc.) is responsible for this sidebar?
2. I changed fonts – but word Shop(‘???????’) still uses old font It changes to preset font only on hovering, like http://clip2net.com/s/3xnE5B0 – no hover http://clip2net.com/s/3xnEaV4 – after hover The same is with categories on Main page http://clip2net.com/s/3xnEf5sHi Alex_KonSuper,
1. Translating the widgets and sidebar cannot be managed via Loco Translate, this plugin will translate only strings of the theme and plugins.
2. Can you please send us your site URL first, 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

I am trying to upload transparent PNGs and I get a grey background. I assume I can change this somewhere in the settings, but I cannot find it. Please direct me to the appropriate location.
Thats strange, I did make it public. Updated page, should be good now.
Ok, think I was having server issues…I was getting the same error upon preview. No it is working and the PNGs are appearing correctly.
Hi,
I just wanted to check with the theme border option that the border only shows on certain screen sizes i.e. >1080px width, please confirm.
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Lan,
Thanks for writing in! Yes, you can have borders on a specific screen size, as per shown in the following:
However, would you please provide us with the detailed description of your requirement and perhaps your desired mockup screenshots? So that we can come up with a custom code solution once we have a better understanding of your need.

The images from my website have disappeared.

I fixed it myself actually! I had to manually update visual composer and do a manual install of Kaiam 1.8.9! Thanks!
Hi tessameyer340,
We saw that you have rated our theme Kalium with 4 stars, and there was not any reason why you think that our theme deserves this rating.
Can you please tell us if you have any problem 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.
We kindly ask you if you can increase your rating on our theme.
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 and have a great day 
Kind regards,

Hello, loving the Kalium theme and very nearly got it all working the way I want. One thing I can’t work out is how to manually set the order of the portfolio items on my homepage.
I’ve managed to set the order for the Portfolio list in the top menu and it’s page by using the custom query settings, but can’t seem to find the same setting for the homepage. I’ve tried linking it to a ‘portfolio’ parent, but that doesn’t seem to work.
In the build query I have the following settings Post count: All; Order by: Menu order; Sort order: Ascending; Post types: portfolio;
website: thisisjt.co.uk
Thanks
Hello again, I also have an issue with the link at the bottom of each individual portfolio post. The four black squares icon takes me to another separate portfolio page different to the one in the top menu link or homepage and in a different order. It also only shows 10 items instead of 15 and doesn’t allow the same levels of editing, just ‘customise’. The link is: http://thisisjt.co.uk/portfolio/
I want to get this page and the order on the homepage to match to the portfolio page from the top menu link: http://thisisjt.co.uk/portfolio-2/
I seem to have got myself in a mess with portfolios, pages and menus. Please help. thisisjt.co.uk
Thanks.
Hi there,

Hi Imran, as you can see, the logo is functioning fine on the other pages, but on the homepage after initially loading the correct logo, it seems to switch back to the old one (in the code you can see this). Clearing the cache doesn’t resolve my issue unfortunately…
Hi iclarity
Can you please go to Slider Revolution > Choose the Homepage Slider then go to metabox number 6 Custom CSS/JavaScript and delete all code after line 15
This should solve your issue.

Hi Guys,
Is is possible to have unique menus on different pages? If so, how is this done?
For example: I’d like to have a simple 3-option menu on the home page and a normal full menu on the rest of the pages.
Thanks! -Peter
For some reason none of my portfolio images are loading, although you can hover over them and click on the image?
See example here http://www.coreceptstudio.com/portfolio/report/I have fixed this after updating my kalium version. Thanks
Hello, I’ve installed the Kalium theme but now finding the wp-composer stuck in infinite load state. Any solution for this?
