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 Concilium,

Thanks for your kind words and glad to hear that you are resolved.

Have a nice day! :)

Best,
Imran

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 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/12mp9

Hopefully this will work for you too.


Best regards,
Arlind

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 Rovereta,

Can you please record your screen when adding row background, I have to try your steps, this might be a real issue of our theme.


Best regards,
Arlind

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, sorry i meant categrories, but it still bugs ! check for yourself : http://www.colombinejubert.com/printdesign/ For example if you click first on the category ‘fashion design’ then ‘print design’, you will only get the fashion design projects which I also categorized as ‘print design’ (it should be all the projects categorized ‘print design’ that should appear). Whereas if you click on the ‘print design’ category 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…

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.

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:

(view large version)

Because they need an image in order to show on the Portfolio page.

Best,
Imran

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 block

6) 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.

Arlind

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/wUKpfFTSYEJybWe

Many thanks

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.


Best regards,
Arlind

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

Glad to hear that it worked for you.

To disable lightbox for the slider, go to Custom CSS and apply this code:

.blog-head-holder .post-gallery .slick-slide {
    pointer-events: none;
}


Best regards,
Arlind

Thanks for your quick reply ;)

Hi m-city,

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!

Kind regards,
Arlind

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/

Best, M

Hi m-city,

This is happening because you are using an very old version of our theme (1.8.5) and the latest version for the moment is (1.8.9), please update theme first and then the premium plugins.

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

Thanks!

Hi m-city,

Glad to hear that :)

If you don’t want to miss an update anymore, please don’t forget to enable this option:

so when the update it’s ready you will receive an email if you have enabled “Get notified by email if this item is updated” from your Downloads tab.

Then you can update your theme through Envato Toolkit Plugin.

Kind regards,

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, 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? :(

https://www.peteman.net/about/

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/3xnEf5s

Hi Alex,

2. Add this code to the Custom CSS, it should fix the problem with the menu

body {
    font-family: "ProximaNovaRegular", Arial, sans-serif;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

thanks!

Hi Alex,

Glad to hear that your problem has resolved.

Have a nice day! :)

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 Dgreedes,

Thanks for reporting back.

Have a nice day! :)

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:

(view large version)

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.

Imran

The images from my website have disappeared. When I update it I get this message, so basically my site is broken “Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_shortcode_custom_css_has_property() in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data01/43/2894143/html/wp-content/themes/kalium/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 45”

I fixed it myself actually! I had to manually update visual composer and do a manual install of Kaiam 1.8.9! Thanks!

Hi Tessameyer,

Glad to hear that you are resolved.

Have a good day! :)

Best,
Imran

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,
—Ylli

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

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I see that some of your plugins are having an older version. Please don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support, then if your problem is still active please reply us again here with a detailed explanation of your problem.

If after updating the premium plugins the problem is still present, then can you please disable all your third-party plugins (plugins that don’t come with our theme) one by one, and check if this problem is solved.

I can’t work out is how to manually set the order of the portfolio items on my homepage.

http://documentation.laborator.co/kb/kalium/faq/changing-the-portfolio-items-order/
http://documentation.laborator.co/kb/kalium/faq/ordering-the-portfolio-categories-in-filter/

It also only shows 10 items instead of 15

Kindly navigate to Laborator -> Theme Options Portfolio Settings as per shown in the following:

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.

Thanks for the quick and detailed response – all sorted.

Hi itsjt,

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

Hi there, just installed Architect demo and I have replaced the logo, but somehow the old logo keeps showing up? http://juli.iclardev.nl/

Kindly provide us with some screenshots with the issues imprinted. Meanwhile, try clearing your browser’s cache and re-checking again and see if the issue goes away.

Meanwhile, please make sure to upload your logo to the following:

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

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your suggestion! It will be considered as a featured request and forwarded to our development team; this way it can be taken into the consideration and might be implemented into the future theme update. :)

Best,
Imran

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

Hi MandeepNatt,

Glad to hear that your problem is solved now.
