2. I’m using Loco Translate as recommended, but can’t find the string to “No more portfolio items to show”. Can you help me with that?
3. Also, is there any way that allows me to set a designated number of lines on the contact form?

A site can get to be slow for many reasons, from server and domain setup, to bad plugins or themes, image sizes, etc. From the theme's perspective, we've been able to achieve great results with Kalium so the theme should help you in your mission of optimizing your site for faster performance.
After valuable user feedback, extensive research and testing, we spotted several opportunities to make Kalium faster and more efficient. The goal was to keep the theme and its code as clean and fast as possible while packing the same awesome features people love without slowing things down. By minifying JavaScript and CSS code, we managed to improve performance and speed up page loading, making both visitors and search engines happy.
We use the following plugins to get the best of Kalium in terms of performance and loading times.
Beside Server Caching, Minifying and HTML compression, we've also made sure the Browser Caching is enabled for the site by adding the following lines in the .htaccess file.
# Leverage Browser Caching by setting HTTP header expires
<ifmodule mod_expires.c=""><IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"

Hope you'll be able to use this info to speed up your site too. Remember that each setup is different and it depend on your content, the plugins you're using, the server that hosts your site and basically all that's involved with it.
If you're looking for professional help in this matter, there's always someone available for such tasks on the Envato Studio. Pricing and timeline are always straightforward there and that's the main reason for recommending it.
1. How can I get the latest version? My dashboard shows me it is up to date but it's not. I have the 1.9 version. Will I lose my customization after updating?
2. Will that version also allow me to change the "Launch Website" link font size, in the portfolio items, via "Manage Fonts?"
3. When I downsize the font on my fullscreen background, it doesn't apply to the "Search..." field. How can I change this?
1— The easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Market plugin. Just follow this little procedure http://drops.laborator.co/pLFH
After this, to update the plugins to the latest version that we support, just go to Appearance > Install Plugins and update them.
If you can't update Layer Slider plugin, please just go to Plugins and deactivate this plugin. Then go to Appearance > Install Plugins again, you now can update and activate this plugin again.
P.S: You can delete Envato Market plugins now because on the Kalium 2 when you activate the product, updates of the theme will show once they are available. So you can update the theme very easily.
2— Yes.
3— Please try this again on the Typography area.
If you have further question in the future, kindly open a new ticket and post your request so it will be helpful for the other users to take advantage of searching them on the forum, and we’re glad to help you in your new thread.
After an update and a database change, I have a few more questions.
The credentials are the same, however here's the new URL: novosite.crea.pt
1. The Google Map on contact page has stopped working — shows a "Check Javascript..." error. What could be causing this?
2. Also in Contact Page, the contact form lines have disappeared. How can i retrieve them?
3. How can I hide the footer border?
4. How can I change the input text color on the contact form?
5. Portfolio items now show a small "line feed" which places text horizontally not in line the rest of the content. I have no clue why this is happening. How can I correct this?
6. What is portfolio item's subtitles css class?
7. For a carousel type portfolio item, how can I change the on-hover color for the arrow on the carousel?
8. For portfolio categories, how can I translate the "All" category? and how can I change categories font size?
9. On the portfolio page, since the update, the masonry portfolio grid doesn't seem to allow visible titles in Theme Options. Is it still possible to use that option?
10. In the fullscreen menu, how can I translate the "Search..." widget? and How can I change its size?
1— Google is not supporting keyless maps anymore, see their announcement, but from the Kalium 1.9.3 and later you have the option to add the Google Maps API Key on the Theme Options > Other Settings.
3— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
.main-footer hr {
border: none !important;
}
4— Custom CSS again:
.contact-form input, .contact-form textarea {
color: red !important;
}
5— Can you please try to be very specific about the question and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer.
Also please send this exact URL of this page to see what is the problem there?
6— This should be the class body.single-portfolio .section-title p
Ylli, thank you very much for your amazing support.
Regarding your remarks:
5. What I meant is, for instance, when you go to a portfolio item page (e.g. http://novosite.crea.pt/aliados162/) the description is no longer in line with the rest of the content. For example, it's easy to spot it's not aligned with the Title and checklists.
I'm missing the correct english expression, but it seems to be something like a reverse 'line indent' or 'tab'
6. The class you wrote doesn't seem to affect the subtitles. I'm trying to change color and font-size.
8 and 10. I'm already using the Loco Translate plugin and have already translated the according strings with no effect on these items (i.e. 'Search...' and 'All'). The same happens to navigation links "Next Project" and "Previous Project" on portfolio items pages.
9. What I meant was visible titles outside the thumbnails. That was the way I had customized the portfolio page before the update for the 2.0 version.
and a new question:
11. Is there a way to vertically center the full-background menu but keep it left-aligned?
Once again, Ylli, thank you very much for your time.
5. Just updated the theme, but the issue persists. The description keeps showing up unaligned.
6. I meant the subtitle. For instance, on this page — http://novosite.crea.pt/aliados162/ — it's the text reading "em curso" below the title. That is the text I would like to modify color and font-size.
8 and 10. Worked fine. Thank you!
9. The way you suggested loses the Masonry Grid style. I meant keeping the Masonry grid and having titles outside, is this possible? That's the way I had it before the update.
11. Great! Thank you!
New question:
12. How can I change font size for the fullscreen-menu footer? The line that reads "Copyright 2017...". And can I change the social media icons on the same area?
13. I'm experimenting with "Pageable containers" and "Tours". Specifically, is there a way to style them? For example, by default, it shows rounded edges containers in a grey background. Is there a way to change that?

Hi Antonata,
1— You can use Typography if you want to edit font-sizes on your website. To do that you should upgrade Kalium to the latest version.
Manage Fonts
2— Just go to that URL and click Edit Page then follow this mini tutorial video http://drops.laborator.co/mbfe
3— Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS
4— This should be pushed 10-15 px on the Kalium 2. But you can use this CSS code and add your desired margin.
