If you install any demo content you won't loose articles, photos and categories instead the demo content will install the new pages, categories and images so it will be a little bit messed up but the content will not be deleted or merged.
I'm sorry but how is this support? I've waited 10 hours without an answer to simplu know how to set up the homepage similar to demo... this is a paid theme, answer guys please!
3. You are trying to have the same look as the photography demo but instead of portfolio you have added the items as blog posts. You will have to create a manual homepage and not show the latest blog posts, to do this firstly create a new page under Pages and then go to Settings > Reading:
- can you please tell me which type of posts grid I need to set up to achieve the same look as the photography demo? ( I tried masonry media grid and posts masonry grid but both show the read more, title and text)
The demo content is built with portfolio image and if you want to make it from the blog post then you cannot achieve the same look because the whole structure of blog and portfolio are completely different between them.
1. Adding sidebars to portfolio items is only possible if you use WPBakery Page Builder Type of the portfolio, otherwise you cannot use sidebars to other portfolio types.
2. Because you have disabled all the features, please check carefully what you tick/untick:
1. I added iframes to the titles to have my videos display in thumbnail which works, however the lightbox code is showing, any advice on how to fix this please? (picture enclosed)
2. What is the idea size in pixels for a full width header please?
3. Is there a way to add social icons in the menu? I used font awesome but I have a broken image instead of the icons
2. There is no ideal size for the slider but it is recommended to use larger images so it will show in high quality even in large screens, do exceed the 2000px in width as it is not recommended for site speed.
3. You can only use custom icons as you have already used.
I cannot do anything in your site, it is lowing extremely slow so please check the speed of your site first, I have made some changes and the icons are showing now. Regarding the iframe video which you have added, we cannot help you on that as it is a custom modification and the support scope does not include theme modifications.
Blog post so they would appear on the homepage. I've tried to put the post format as video but where (title, content?) and how should I put the link (iframe, just the link?)
This is how you can add videos to your site using the video format of blog post, but you will need to use the default Kalium blog post element and not any other type of blog post such as media grid:
1. I told you from the very beginning that the video posts will work with the Kalium blog post element and not the post grid which is a WPBakery Page Builder element, if you want to use videos use the method I have mentioned above and not with things such as iframe.
2. Which section are you talking about, if you are talking about the portfolio then yes you can do that in the theme options and if you are talking about the blog then this is a custom modification and cannot be done.
- Can you please advice how to disable links to blog post on this page only so that videos will play in lightbox and totle won't lead to post page https://www.fix-dessinateur.com/videos-dessinees/
Good morning,
If I install the demo content for Kalium photography, will that erase my current articles, photos and categories?
If so, can I export them, install the demo ocntent and then re import them to have my 300+ articles back up?
Thank you

Hi Paulina,
1. There is an option that will hide the featured image in single posts:

2. Please take some time to read the article about Auto Type element, there you can find out how to include the auto type within a page.

4. As I can see the titles are not showing anymore so it seems you have already set up this.
P.S. Support is monitored from Monday to Friday in office hours with European timing. Questions will be answered in the order received.

Use the Portfolio Items element from WPBakery Page Builder.

Thank you however as explained before I need to make the grid from blog posts, not from portfolio items, how can I do that please?
The demo content is built with portfolio image and if you want to make it from the blog post then you cannot achieve the same look because the whole structure of blog and portfolio are completely different between them.

Ok so is there any way I can not display the title read more and text on blog look?
Hey Art,
1. can I add a sidebar to portfolio items?
I'm thinking if I convert all my articles to portfolio items, put them in columned mode, could I add the sidebar like on article pages (https://www.fix-dessinateur.com/fideliser-les-clients)
This is currently what it looks like: https://www.fix-dessinateur.com/portfolio/berlin-in-motion/
2. posts are not displaying in category pages like here https://www.fix-dessinateur.com/category/dessin-dentreprise/ can you please tell me why/what to do?
Thank you!

Hi Art,
Server updated. So now videos are just not playing at all, can you please tell me what's the best way to display vidos on the site?
Thanks
Hi there,
It depends on where you want to show them, on a blog post, a portfolio item or on a page. Can you specify where you want to show the video?

You mean I have to change the entire site for the display of posts?
Hi Art,
so if I cannot display the videos in the lightbox as my client will not budge on the grid:
-1- Can I use an external plugin to do so?
-2- could I set up a permanent redirection so that upon image click instead of the lightbox visitors lend on post where video plays?
Thank you!
