1. I've noticed that there seems to be a 1 second delay in loading the correct font when I visit my site. So you can visibly see the 'jump' from the preset font to loading the Typekit font. I had a look at a few other Kalium built portfolios from your showcase that use custom fonts, and they seem to load without this issue. Is there a way this can be resolved? Or a workaround that can fix the issue?
2. Could you tell me how to add a 'hover' colour to the 'Previous project' and 'Next project' links?
3. I was hoping you would be able to to walk me through adding a custom element exactly like this example (just the top image with the text over the top): http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/main/portfolio/custom-portfolio-layout/ so I can add images to the top of my work project pages, for example http://www.markofarrell.co.uk/portfolio/meridian/. I tried enabling feature images, but as the size they display seems to depend on the size of the image, some of them are very big and means you have to scroll down a lot before reaching the content below. So I thought it might be nicer to do it like your demo with some text overlapping the image so its a fixed height.
4. Could you tell me how to change the font weight of the titles on project pages? For example the title 'Meridian Audio' on this page http://www.markofarrell.co.uk/portfolio/meridian/. It's currently set to 500, but I can't seem to change it to 400. I used the element inspector and tried adding it in the Custom CSS stylesheet but it didn't seem to have any affect.
5. I've noticed when viewing my site on mobile (Chrome/Android), and I change orientation from portrait to landscape or vice versa, the images re-render slightly jaggedly unless I do a refresh of the page, can this issue be fixed or do you know what causes this?
3. This portfolio type is using Visual Composer and it's a custom portfolio type, which will make it easier to show the image on top with the title over it. On other portfolio items this is not possible, we have planned to add this feature in our upcoming theme updates as it looks really good and it is a nice feature for our theme, but for now we don't have any quick-fix for this.
4. There seems to be an issue with the font, either the font doesn't have any lighter option than the actual title weight, it only changes when you make the font bolder, or you are including only the normal and bold variants in your site and that's why it doesn't work.
5. Haven't noticed this as we're all on iOS devices, anyway changing the orientation of the phone from portrait to landscape or vice versa is always buggy and needs a hard refresh to show perfectly. Can you please post as screenshot of this problem so we can see it.
Thanks for the information, the font fix worked great. Also, it's very odd but I couldn't get my phone to replicate the issue with the image rendering, it seems to work perfectly now so must have been a temporary glitch.
I just have a few more queries in reference to your other answers:
1. Regarding the custom portfolio item I referred to, will that be released as an update on the Kalium theme so I could use it in the future? Or will it be part of a completely different one?
2. With the CSS for the text hover on 'Next' and 'Previous' links, is it possible to make these the same style with the underline animation hover, like the ones in the header and footer? If so, could you tell me how to do it please?
3. Could you explain to me how to edit the size of the portfolio thumbnails? I want them to be perfectly square sizes if that's possible.
4. In a previous ticket I asked how to change the order of projects, I was told to install the 'Post Types Order' plugin. It works great, but I've noticed that now I've changed the order, when I click on the 'Next' and 'Previous' project links, they still use the original order, so it doesn't go by the new sequence. Is there a setting or something I need to check in order for this to update automatically?
5. I'm currentlt getting an update notification that says:
There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 5.0 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?
Can I update this with my theme version? Could you explain what I need to do?

Hi Mark,
1. I found this fix that the developer sent to a customer here:
(view large version)
As I could understand, you will need to set this to false to load normally.
2. Add the following CSS in the Custom CSS to enable the text hover:
.single-portfolio-holder .portfolio-big-navigation a:hover { color: #4d49f0; }3. This portfolio type is using Visual Composer and it's a custom portfolio type, which will make it easier to show the image on top with the title over it. On other portfolio items this is not possible, we have planned to add this feature in our upcoming theme updates as it looks really good and it is a nice feature for our theme, but for now we don't have any quick-fix for this

Hi Mark,
2— I'm sorry but this option is not available for the moment.
1 an 3— This question is related to theme developer and I am unable to give you any solution about this because I am not backend developer.
Our theme developer Arlind can help you with this, but he is not in the office until 03 Jan.
When Arlind come back, just reply to this thread and you will make sure he will see your comment.
Hope for your understanding and Happy Holidays from Laborator.
4— I think that we have fixed this problem on the latest update.
5— You just need to update your theme to version 2.0.3.1 and you can update your plugins by going to Appearance > Install plugins.
Will set this ticket as closed from here.
