Add Bluesky to social sharing/icons
Hi - given Bluesky’s growth and X/Twitter’s decline, could you please add Bluesky to the social sharing capabilities of the theme? Thank you.
Hide Categories in Portfolio Filter
Problem: Currently, unwanted categories appear in the portfolio filter simply because an image has this additional category, even though you want to hide these categories. You select the categories "Wedding", "Portrait" and "Family" for your portfolio An image has the categories "Wedding" and "Business" The image is displayed "Business" appears unwanted additionally in the filter bar The filter bar shows: "Wedding", "Portrait", "Family" and "Business" Solution: New option: "Hide categories" You determine exactly which categories should be visible in the filter bar All other categories are automatically hidden The images themselves remain visible as long as they have at least one allowed category The hidden categories don't appear anywhere in the filter bar Example: You select the visible categories "Wedding", "Portrait" and "Family" An image has the categories "Wedding" and "Business" The image is displayed normally (because of "Wedding") The category "Business" is completely hidden Visitors only see in the filter bar: "Wedding", "Portrait" and "Family"

Improve Typography font upload process
For self-hosted fonts, the current UI’s “browse” button for WOFF2 font files opens an Media Library uploader that returns an error message (“Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”) and does not enable FTP-style selection from the font folder. Please update the WOFF2 uploader and ability to point to self-hosted files, thank you!

Control title font colors and styles in portfolio items
Portfolio items currently show titles and categories in a Kalium-specified font and color, which are not necessarily visible enough when the background color is adjusted by the user; the color auto-shifts (not perfectly) to either black or white. It would be great to have control over the color and the font so these items can be both stylized and higher in contrast. Thank you!

Self-Hosted Video Autoplay on Hover for Kalium Photography Theme
I am writing to request a new feature for the Kalium WordPress theme. I would like to enable self-hosted videos to autoplay when hovered over. This would be especially valuable in the prebuilt Photography demo/theme, available here: https://sites.kaliumtheme.com/gutenberg/photography/ I have found that the Media Hovers WordPress Plugin by Tean already supports autoplay on hover for media elements. Would it be possible to integrate (or ensure full compatibility with) the Media Hovers plugin into the Kalium theme so that videos automatically play when users hover over thumbnails in portfolio, gallery, or similar sections? This small enhancement would greatly improve the user experience on photography and video-heavy sites built with Kalium. Thank you very much for your time and support. I’d appreciate any feedback on whether this integration is feasible or if it could be added in a future update. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Add Substack to Social Media Icon
Substack has grown from a writers platform to include other creative types such as photographers, musicians, painters, etc. Actually, it is the only “social media” site I utilize. Thanks much!
Video in the Woocommerce Product gallery
Adding videos in the gallery, self hosted or embedded as well. Maybe also have the option to set them as featured product video. Is this already possible somehow, through any compatible plug-in?
