Hi Kalium Team,


I change the image setting on Theme Options > Blog Settings > Featured image size (single post) to Original Image Size .Then I upload a featured image 480X480 but it still look like 1140×1140.
How can I do to keep the featured image sizes their original dimension?
My blog page is https://goo.gl/So31hw.

By the way, how can I do to let listing page looks like Kalium Blog Demo. http://i.imgur.com/Hv8g9Ty.jpg

Thanks. Ernie

Hi Ernie

To have default uploaded image size apply this custom CSS:

.blog-head-holder .image-placeholder {
    display: block;
    padding: 0 !important;
    text-align: center;
}

.blog-head-holder .image-placeholder img {
    position: relative;
    width: auto;
    display: inline-block;
}

This is how it looks: http://drops.laborator.co/1dD3K

Hi Arlind, Thanks a lot. I have rated Kalium 5 stars!!! Ernie

Hi, I just purchased the theme and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my page. I found the theme customisable in almost every way and I have turned my site as unique as possible from other users of Kalium.

I have a query on header menu in mobile mode. Is it possible to keep the menu design the same (menu style-1 – full background menu) while the page is viewed from mobile devices?

I hope you could help me with this :)

Thank you, Yours sincerely, Nana

Hi Nana,

Unfortunately this is not supported currently, we are planning to enable this feature for the upcoming updates as some other users wanted to do the same thing.

Kind Regards,

Great news :)

hello, i have a very hard problem.I try to do a home page, for three days, and I can´t. I want to use as an item portfolio home page, please can help me?

Hi albuswulfric

Have you tried importing demo content and see how the pages are implemented?

I strongly suggest you to do this and you will learn all the tricks of the theme.

Or tell me what kind of homepage you want to create so I can give you the steps. Send me the sample URL from kalium demo pages from here: www.kaliumtheme.com and I will tell you how to create.


Arlind

Hello, I would like to change the link of my logo. By default is linked to the homepage, but I would like to link it to my ‘About me’ page. I can’t find how is this done. Could you please give me some advice. Thank you!! Cecilia

Hi Cecilia

Sure you can do this, open this file:

/wp-content/themes/kalium/tpls/logo.php on line 45 change this line:

href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" 

To your desired url:

href="http://mysite.com/about-us" 

Or if you know the id of that page simply do this way, for example if id is 123 replace with this code:

href="<?php echo get_permalink( 123 ); ?>" 

This is temporary fix so for the next update you will need to repeat it.

To remove this extra step for you I have added custom filter so next time you don’t need to edit this file, so install this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/

And then add this code:

add_filter( 'kalium_logo_url', 'custom_kalium_logo_url' );

function custom_kalium_logo_url( $home_url ) {
$new_url = 'http://mysite.com/about-us';
$page_id = 0; // if you have page id its better, then set it here

if ( $page_id > 0 ) {
   $new_url = get_permalink( $page_id );
}
return $new_url;
}

Then you don’t need to care about it anymore.

Hi guys!

2 questions:

1. The skin color of my site seems to be working fine with my custom colors however when you click my logo for a split second it turns into a dark forrest correct. Which I believe is part of your original skin color. I can’t figure out the code. Can you please assist?

Please see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rm2mor71kis8kxs/Screen%20Shot%202015-11-05%20at%206.55.22%20PM.png?dl=0

2. I am still trying to have a wider width through out my site. 1170px is a bit narrow for me on a big screen and I would like for it to be wider. Can you help me out with this!

Thanks!

Oh guys! One last question: when i projects load they take some time. What can I do to make it load instantly. Please let me know! Thanks :)

Hi csilva101,

1— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

.header-logo.logo-image:focus {
    color: #000;
}

2— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
    .container {
        width: 1270px;
    }
}

*if this creates any problem on your website than you can delete the code from Custom CSS.

3— I just tested them and they are showing very fast, but if you want, you can use a caching plugin that can make your website faster, we recommend WP Super Cache.

Hi there,

thanks for the really slick theme its awesome!!.

I’m new to wordpress but my friend showed me how to upload the agency demo theme so that I can begin customising it. I have tried to follow your tutorials as best I can but now I’m stuck :(

1) I wanted to get a show more button with my brand colours to appear on my home page with my brand colours.

2) I wanted the text that appears inside the boxes to all appear in white not black and grey

3) I wanted the grey banner at the top and bottom to appear the length of the page and sit at the top not stop with a white border

4)I also wanted the main menu to appear at the start instead of clicking on the three black lines on the left

5) I would like my blue to appear in the text and the line on the menus the hover text throughout the site that includes my email on the contact me

these are elements that appear on your other themes that I would like to make into my personal one I understand that you may not be able to answer all the questions but if you could help me with a principle of how to then I can implement the changes myself.

many thanks Reuben santiago

Hi reubensantiago,

I tested the code again and it worked, can you please see if you have made any mistake while copying my code, or maybe you have forgot to open or close any bracket { } on your Custom CSS.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

got all my issues fixed thanks guys

Glad to hear that :)

Good afternoon,

First, thank you for an amazing theme. Great Job.

I have been working on my site, filling up the portfolio and have run into a small issue… i have tried looking through the comments to see if this issue has been covered already but I could find any info… sorry if i have missed it.

This issue is, all the thumbnails that are loaded with the page (first 10 atm) load great, shuffle perfect and fit well in Masonry but once you scroll down and new thumbnails load… the new thumbnails load way to big and don’t neatly fit into the Masonry grid. Is there a fix to this? or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi there,

It would be better if you would include your site URL too so we could investigate and see what the problem really is.

Also, are you sure you are using the latest theme update cause this issue has been fixed in the past versions of the theme and now it isn’t occurring anymore.

Kind Regards,
Art

I believe I have the most up to date, I cant see any updates available…

Thanks!

Hallo Laborator,
I have kalium, wpml, woocommerce and loco translator.
I have italian as main language and have set up english as second language. I have a shop page in italian, but unfortunately I can’t figure out how to have also a shop page in english!
I have a page named “shop” (italian language) containing nothing but a useless sentence “pagina italiana”, so I can see this text in the page. The page shows up as I want, with the list of my products, a bar on the right and everything is working very well.
here it is: http://lnx.woodandmood.com/shop/
Now, the shop page is translated in english, with a useless sentence “English page”
Here is the link to the english page: http://lnx.woodandmood.com/en/shop/
Why is this page completely empty?
On the other hand, if you click the italian flag, while being in the italian page, there is no english icon to take me to he english shop page. I managed to have the homepage in both languages, and the english one is just a demo I’ve set up for testing porpuses.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Or, to keep it simple, is it possibile to have a shop page in italian and a shop page in english? If yes, how to?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Are you still having the same issue or you managed to fix it, next time please write more clearly and less so we can understand what the issue is.

Hi, great work. Pre-sale question: can I use my own copy of ACF Pro? If yes, will I see the ACF menu or is integrated in the theme options?

Thanks

Hi again,

Can you send us an e-mail and we can talk about this issue.

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.

Kind Regards,
Art

For future references, ACF Pro work well with Kalium: change line 10 in kalium/inc/laborator_filters.php from add_filter( ‘acf/settings/show_admin’, ‘__return_false’ ); to add_filter( ‘acf/settings/show_admin’, ‘__return_true’ ); and you can see the ACF pro menu in backend

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing this with us, it may be helpful to any other user who wants to include ACF Pro in their theme.

Hello I’m having the problem of my portfolio categories linking to my blog page. Please help!!

Hi luxpilus,

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

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

hello Ylli, yes of course here it is http://www.marie-cerise.com

Hi luxpilus,

You are using an very old version of our theme (1.1) and the latest version for the moment is (1.7.2), 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 :)

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

Also please update Wordpress if you are not using the latest version.

We won’t be able to provide support for outdated versions.

We want you to experience the best we have to offer while keeping your site safe.

Staying updated is the way to do it!

Kind Regards,
—Ylli


“The support on this theme is amazing and it has so many design options. Highly recommended.”

  Kalium received a 5 star rating from pjjvr3 for Flexibility.

Are you using Kalium too? Don’t forget to rate it!.

how can I achieve this parallaxing effect with type overtop like http://wedgeandlever.com/ does?

Thanks.

Hi dustinkoop

To achieve parallax effect you can do this with Visual Composer composer, on row edit parameter you have to select “Simple” or “Fade” as parallax parameter in row settings, here is an example:

http://drops.laborator.co/1gXsh

And so on you can continue with all row elements.

Note that there was a bug reported with parallax elements in our theme so we have fixed it, but not released the update yet, all you have to do is download this file and replace it in kalium/vc_templates/ folder.

The parallax will work properly after replacing this file.

Hi, I have the next problem. In the footer , I put this text in the footer text: (Designed by Heartcore. ADQA Copyright. All Rights Reserved.), but when I click in this link, the page is http://www.hccreapruebas.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.hccrea.es%E2%80%9D not www.hccrea.es. I need the page is www.hccrea.es

Thanks for the help

Hi hccrea,

That is happening because you have just added

www.hccrea.es

you should add the full link, e.g.

http://www.hccrea.es/

and it will work ;)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi,

Don’t work. I put the full link and continues appears http://www.hccreapruebas.com/%E2%80%9Dhttp:/www.hccrea.es/%E2%80%9D when I click in the link. :(

Hi hccrea,

Hmm it should work 100%, but 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, great theme!

Im working on this site: http://michelesaee.com/wp0/ Is there a way to get the menu rolling down instead of sideways?

Also, are there any tutorial videos online? Id like to set a grid of images on the splash page but im still new to the theme features.

thanks

Hi Peter,

1— If you go to your Custom CSS area, you will find this line of code:

.wrapper {
    background: url(http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/freelancer/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pattern-29.jpg);
}

Just remove it and your site will have white color :)

2— I think that you have added custom links on Menu and that’s why this is happening, so you need to change URL of the menu items too.

Kind regards,
—Ylli

Thanks Ylli, the background clean-up worked out :)

About the permalinks, I might have some other bug going on. Both pages and portfolio pages give me 404 error if I set the permalinks else than ‘plain’. Any thoughts?

Hi there!

I would like to change style of portfolio “Show more” and contact form “Send” buttons. It would be great to add some custom outline, text and hover colors. And also set the same font for both of them, for example my default paragraph font.

I tried to play with custom css but unfortunately without success. I don’t know what to do with “btn btn-primary send” class and “btn btn-white” class…

In visual composer I’ve got this: [vc_btn title=”Text” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#e8234e” outline_custom_hover_background=”#e8234e” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0e192a” shape=”square” size=”lg”]

But have no idea how to apply this to “Show more” and “Send” buttons.

Hi there,

Even though this is a custom request, we will help you this time, you can achieve that by adding this code to the Custom CSS:

.show-more .button a {
    color: #ea214d !important;
}

.show-more .button:hover {
    border-color: #ea214d !important;
}

.show-more .button a:hover {
    color: #0E182B !important;
    background: #ea214d !important;
    border-color: #ea214d !important;
}

.contact-form .send {
    color: #ea214d !important;
    border: 2px solid #ea214d !important;  
}

.contact-form .send:hover {
    background: #ea214d !important;
    color: #0E182B !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thank you a lot. It worked, but not exactly how I planned. I hope I will figure out what to change in Custom CSS.

Glad to hear that :)

Hello there, i love this theme, but it looks like I’m missing up&down arrows in the add-to-cart/product-count small window. Is there an option to turn them on/off in Theme options? Please advise.

Hi DsVic,

That is feature that is deprecated from the WooCommerce, but they have made one plugin that can enable them, to enable you must install this plugin WooCommerce Quantity Increment.

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks Ylli that worked!

Glad to hear that DsVic :)

P.S: If you enjoy Kalium, it would help us a lot if you could rate our item on themeforest from your Downloads tab, (if you don’t know how, just open this link) Thank you very much :)

Have a nice weekend!

I’m using the Enless Scroll with auto reveal, but its taking to long to reveal the items and guests don’t realize there is content there. Is there some way to force all items to load when they open the page? Or somehow speed up the delay on loading them?

Hi kevincwalina,

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

Hello, I have tried to upload the theme (parent) via both a fresh WordPress 4.3.1 install, and via ftp. In Wordpress, while trying to upload kalium.zip to Appearance > Themes > New, I received the following: “WordPress failure notice: Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” Theme upload failed. I then uploaded both the parent and child folders to ftp, refreshed all, and the Kalium theme, athough present in the /themes folder, is unrecognized by WordPress.

Hi there,

Have you managed to install the theme successfully?

Kind Regards,
Art

Yes, thank you!

Glad to hear that :)

Kind Regards,
