Many issues you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

max_execution_time 120

memory_limit 128M

post_max_size 64M

upload_max_filesize 64M

max_input_time 60

max_input_vars 3000

You can verify your PHP configuration limits on Kalium theme by just going to your WordPress dashboard > Laborator > System Status.

Alternative method: You can check your PHP configuration limits them by installing the FastDev plugin and then going to Wordpress dashboard > Fastdev > and choose PHP tab to compare your server info (see example). The first column (Local) refers to your installation value, and the second column (Master) refers to the limits of your host. The latter values are often lower if you have selected a cheaper hosting package. Learn How to upgrade PHP version and increase server limits.

Theme authors not allowed to include the purchase codes for the premium plugins we include (with extended license) in our themes.

However, you don’t have to be worried about this fact, From version 2.6.1 of Kalium we have implemented “Remote plugins updates” so you no longer need to wait for theme updates to get the latest version of bundled plugins, you’ll get plugin updates right after their release so to update them you just need to go to Appearance > Install Plugins area.

Each theme update will contain the latest version for premium plugins inside the installation files.

You never need to purchase any premium plugins that comes with our theme, you can purchase them only if you need their support or want to use their extra features.

While using the theme you would want to have your own custom styling and settings, so to modify and customize the theme on your own needs you need the Custom CSS, a question many users have when using the Custom CSS is that their CSS is not being applied, sometimes you will need to add an extra rule at the end of each value – the !important rule, let’s see this example:

body {
    background: #000 !important;
}

Important – use valid CSS only, you may want to validate your styles before saving

When using the Build Query option in WPBakery Page Builder you will want to filter your Portfolio Items by category, the Categories field won’t work if you want to filter the items by category so what you need to do is type in the Taxonomies field instead of categories.

Ordering the categories in the Filter of Portfolio Items cannot be done directly through WordPress or the Theme Options, you can do it by using a plugin named Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order, then you an simply Drag and Drop the categories of Portfolio that will appear in the Portfolio Filter.

To add Portfolio and Blog categories to the menu go through Appearance > Menus, navigate at the top right of the screen and click on the Screen Options and make sure you’ve ticked the Portfolio Categories or Categories, now you will be able to add categories directly to your menu.
