Platform Change:
All You Need to Know

We’re happy to announce that the long-awaited update of Kalium, version 4 – has now been released!  Starting with this version, we have changed the platform and Kalium will be sold only through our website. We’ve transitioned from ThemeForest to bring you enhanced pricing and dedicated support. Our new licensing structure now includes annual and multi-use licenses, with lifetime licenses offered at an increased rate.

Why the change?

For those who don’t know us, we’re Laborator team, and we’ve been part of the WordPress community since 2009, creating successful themes and plugins with more than 72,721 sales all over our products.

Over the years, we’ve relied on a one-time payment model, but it’s become clear that this approach isn’t sustainable in the long run. To continue developing and improving Kalium, we’ve decided to move to our own platform and offer also annual licenses with multi-use licenses, which is now the industry standard. Lifetime licenses will still be available, although at a higher price tag, for those who prefer a one-time payment.

With recent changes at Envato after their acquisition by Shutterstock, we’ve noticed a shift in priorities at Envato, with a decreasing focus on WordPress themes and authors. Additionally, many authors, including us, have requested features from Envato such as subscriptions, coupons, and other tools to better serve our customers. Despite ongoing discussions and promises from Envato, these requests were never fulfilled. This lack of progress limited our ability to offer you more flexible pricing and better deals. Moving to our own platform gives us greater control over pricing, support, and the overall customer experience, ensuring a better and more personalized service for you.

As WordPress rapidly adopts the latest technologies, we are keen to stay in sync with these advancements. Full Site Editing and Blocks will be our primary focus because we love native solutions like the Block Editor, which represents the future of WordPress. This approach allows us to create features in Kalium for flexible  and fast websites.

What does this mean for me?

Kalium 4 will be available exclusively on our website, while Kalium 3 will remain on ThemeForest for a while for those who prefer to continue using it. If you choose to stick with the older version, that’s perfectly fine.

Kalium 4 is available to everyone, even those with expired support subscriptions. By converting your license, you’ll receive an additional 3 months of support and updates.

  • If your support subscription is inactive, you’ll get 3 months of new support.
  • If you have an active subscription, it will be extended by 3 months. For example, if your support ends on January 1, 2025, it will now end on April 1, 2025.

Once the additional 3 months are over, you can choose to purchase an annual or lifetime license directly from our website. If you decide not to renew, Kalium will continue to work as it is, but you will no longer receive update or customer support.

Only users who purchased Kalium from ThemeForest before October 1, 2024, are eligible to receive an extra 3 months of free support and updates when transferring their license to Kalium 4.
