    Hi there! I LOVE this theme and have been looking into buying it for quite a while to use as my personal design portfolio site. I just purchased the theme and was very excited about getting started but I've already run into a few issues...I'm not sure if I'm just looking in the wrong places because my questions seem pretty simple but I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction! 

    1. For the home page of my portfolio, I want it to look EXACTLY like the masonry grid set up on the Kalium Agency Demo website (the one that has a masonry grid portfolio set up as the homepage). I keep thinking I'm following all the right steps to get this set up, but no matter what I do absolutely nothing will show up on the preview page. I set my home page to "Portfolio" template, add the "Masonry grid" element, and into that I add individual "portfolio items." Is this the proper way to be setting up this homepage that looks like the Kalium Agency Demo page? If not, could you please correct me and tell me how I can get my homepage looking like the Agency one?


    2. Also, a small design aspect, but on the Agency demo page the words that are being typed in the auto text are reversed out (so the text is white and theres a black background behind it); how do I apply this to my own auto text?


    Thank you so much! I'm so excited to get my site looking the way I want it and I appreciate all your help.

    Hi Chloe,

    Thank for your kind words :)

    1— You just need to do that with Visual Composer, i made a video for you to make it easier to understand the procedure http://drops.laborator.co/169gc

    2— This is how we have done this

    Clear thinking at the

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for your help! #2 was very helpful and I was able to get the auto-text looking the way I'd like it too.

    However, I still can't get my portfolio items to show! I followed your instructions for the Visual Composer; after I place the "Show Portfolio Items" element, how do I fill it with my portfolio items that I've created in the portfolio section of wordpress? Thank you for your help, I feel silly not being able to figure out this simple part of the site!! Your help is super appreciated.

    Hi Chloe,

    Have you attached featured image to your projects please?


    (view large version)

    Your projects don't show if they don't have attached a Featured Product.

    If you have done this and still need help then can you please send me your site URL and your WP credentials?
