When we added the shop into Kalium, we had in mind that the products of the shop should be the primary element a visitor should see so we have tried to keep the minimalism on the theme and maintain the whole focus on the products. The shop has four types of product thumbnail layouts you can select from (see how they look):
- Default
- Full Background
- Distanced Background
- Minimal
To select any of them, please follow the instructions as illustrated in the image above or the steps here:
- Navigate through Laborator > Theme Options
- Click on Shop Settings
- Select Catalog Page from the tabs
- Choose any of the layouts by clicking on the layout thumbnail.
Catalog Options
- Shop head title and results count — Show or hide the Shop title and description.

Product Columns & Rows
From the Kalium 3.3, those options can now be found in the Appearance > Customize area.
WooCommerce 3.3 introduces native options for setting up the number of rows and columns for the shop page. You may be used to find these under Theme Options > Shop Settings > Catalog Page those were the theme options and in the latest version, we’ve removed those to avoid duplicating what is now a WooCommerce core setting. You will find the new options under Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog.
Pagination
Pagination has the same options as in other parts of the site like blog or portfolio, see how to set up the pagination.
