Hi, i don’t know if it’s implemented, but it would be really nice to make a update, with a separation of the left side MENU and the horizontal one in the header, i want to add a different Menu to the HEADER horizontal menu and a different menu to the left, because at the moment they repeat themselves, if this is done possible i will be pleased to rate 5 stars.

Hi,

it is not currently implemented, but I am aware of this and I may implement it in the future, but I don’t have any ETA for it.

Dobry den. Mam vice dotazu k vice situacim. Pokusim se byt co nejstrucnejsi.

POCET POLOZEK NA STRANCE: Kde a jak je mozne zmenit (pridat) defaultni nabizene pocty polozek pro vypis na strance? Je to napriklad u novinek, kde si mohu urcit pocet zaznamu na strance (number of posts). Zde se mi nabizi hodnoty 3-10. Jak to mam udelat, kdybych tam chtel jine hodnoty, pripadne zobrazeni vsech prispevku v dane kategorii?

MORE BUTTON LABEL: Kdyz zde zadam nejaky text, tak se zobrazi odkaz pro dalsi zaznamy. Kdyz na nej v pripade novinek (POSTS) v kategorii “obec” kliknu, tak se zobrazi adresa ”../category/obec”. Je mozne tuto adresu nejak upravit? Nejradeji bych, aby vsechny novinky byly na adrese ”../novinky” a filtrovane novinky z kategorie obec na adrese ”../novinky/obec”. Tak jako tak, nyni se mi na strance ”../category/obec” nezobrazuje pravy sidebar – jak jej tam dostanu? A v drobeckove navigaci se mi objevilo “Home / Blog / Obec” – zde bych chtel mit “Home / Novinky / Obec”.

UDALOSTI: Zde je trochu jina situace, ktera neni konzistentni s ostatnimi (Novinky, Dokumenty). Mam Udalosti, ktere maji nekolik rubrik. Jedna z nich je “Fotbalisti”. Kdyz jsem na hlavni strance s udalostmi ”../udalosti” a kliknu si na “Zobrazit vsechny udalosti”, tak vse funguje jak potrebujeme – jsem na souhrnne strance se vsemi udalostmi, ktere jsou zde rozdelene dle mesicu (nastavena v adminu, ze zde maji byt rozdelene dle mesicu) Kdyz jsem ale na ”../udalosti/fotbalisti” a zde kliknu na “Zobrazit vsechny udalosti fotbalistu”, tak se opet dostanu na souhrnnou stranku VSECH udalosti oddelenych dle mesicu. Ocekavam zde, ze se dostanu na stranku, kde budou vsechny udalosti, ale pouze z rubriky “Udalosti / Fotbalisti”. Jak tohoto mohu docilit?

Dekuji Vam

Lightbox bude najjednoduchsie odstavit asi tak, ze si otvorite library/js/third-party.js subor a zmazete cely riadok 13

Je nejaka moznost, jak ten Vas lightbox nastavit na bezne obrazky vkladane na stranky (Pages)? Nejlepsi by bylo, kdybych mel na celem webu jen jeden lightbox, aby to vypadalo jednotne. Kdybych tedy dokazal nastavit Vas lightbox na bezne obrazky, tak by to take bylo reseni. Diky za radu.

Po vlozeni obrazku do stranky na neho kliknite pre editaciu, nastavte mu linkovanie na Media File, nasledne rozkliknite Advanced Settings a do link class dajte “lightbox”. Pripadne sa proste prepnite to HTML modu a Acku ktore obaluje IMG dajte classu “lightbox”. Odkaz samozrejme musi smerovat na obrazok v plnej (resp. vacsej) velkosti.

Sorry for being a newby. When I buy this I download the files and install uplaoid them into the theme folder of my word press installation? Any other steps? Correct? My town can use it forever no extra charge? Can we move the installation around from one server to another? We have a server that is working ok but not sure if it will be ok for this theme.. If not could we move it to a new hosting account no problem?

Hi,

1.) Please check out the documentation to get some insights on whole installation process before you purchase

2.) You can use it forever without any additional charges, however, only 6 months of support are included with the base price. After that, I may not be able to answer your support questions if you won’t extend it (but so far I’ve always answered questions even from users with expired support if it was within support policy). But theme updates will be available even after that period (as long as the theme itself is being sold on ThemeForest). Please read more about support policy.

3.) You can move this theme from one hosting to another, no problem with that. Again, you can check out official policy on licenses

No problems here – I just want to say again how much I love this theme! We have just recently gone live, and my customer thinks I’m a genius :)

If someone is considering buying this theme and wants to see what I did – the site I used it on is http://quitmancountyms.org

Thank a lot for your feedback!

Hi. I got the update notification and have tried to update to 1.3.1 but it just installs 1.3.0 again.

I’ve disabled email notification for this one to prevent useless spamming. Just download the file tomorrow, it should be ready by then.

I just wanted to let you know that update is available.

Updated – thanks

You could have updated the theme manually to match your demo since your importer didn’t work.

You can say what you want. You know you did wrong. You think you can treat some of your customers wrong and that no one else will listen to me because you have 800+ sales? In my case, and maybe others, the template is not working as advertised.

I also installed a Wordpress site this weekend that installed without issue. http://lovemygraphx.com/ and then the Joomla install that you mentioned. Proof that there isn’t anything wrong with my server. As matter of fact I have many Joomla and Wordpress sites hosted on my server without issue.

What I did wrong? That I took time to log into your wp-admin and even do some googling to find a solution to your issue? Tell me, how exactly did I treat you wrong? I’ve replied to all of your emails within one hour (except the first one which I’ve received at 2am of my local time), I’ve tried to fix your issue and actually I did fix it by providing an alternative solution for importing demo data. Unfortunately, this solution won’t import everything, there is nothing I can do with it. But when I am taking look at your page, the only thing what’s missing are images (which are not part of the theme) and menus – those can be added in few minutes. You are making impression that theme doesn’t work at all for you, which is simply not true.

It is pointless to argue with you, you have your own truth and nobody will obviously change your mind on this matter. Hopefully you will get your refund from Envato. Have a nice day.

Hi, I have a question about translating strings, I’m using Loco translate. I have managed to translate almost everything but have problems finding where to change the following words:

- MAP (in the top bar to show the google map) - Search this site… (search field in the top bar) - Home (the breadcrumb on every page)

Please have a look at the site: http://igelforsregna.se/

Thanks a for a very good theme!

Best regards Anna

Hi,

all three of those strings are standard translatable strings. I don’t have experience with Loco, so I can’t tell what is going on. The “Map” can be found in header.php on line 143, “Search…” in searchform.php on line 17 and “Home” in components/breadcrumbs.php on line 10.

You can try to use standard way to translate strings via .PO / .MO files.

Lubos

Wonderful, that made the trick! I also found some strings for the search form and result that I have now changed. Thank you for your quick response! /Anna

Hi,

just wondering if it’s possible to add some sort of filters for documents section. I mean that I should be able to set document type / date range / etc and filter all the documents for selected criteria.

Thanks Igor

That would be cool, because with time we will have really a lot of document and it will be hard for the users to manage it only with categories widget.

Btw, is there any chance you will be able to add in the close future? Really don’t know how the user has to manage the bunch of the files I’ve uploaded :(

Unfortunately, I don’t have any ETA for this, I am not even saying I will 100% implement. It’s a good suggestion and I will be thinking about it, but don’t count on it please.

One more quick question. I’d like to add an icon in the footer area to link to NextDoor, much like the pre-loaded social icons for Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Could you tell me where I could locate that section of code to edit? I understand I’ll have to create an icon, etc.

Hi,

do you want to add it exactly next to the other social icons? In that case, the most efficient way to do it is this:

1.) Go to Theme Options / Social and add your NextDoor link to one of the social fields you aren’t using. Let’s assume it will be Xing.

2.) Since the NextDoor logo is a basic home icon, you can use built-in FontAwesome home icon for it. Just add this CSS into Theme Options / Custom CSS:

.c-social-icons .fa-xing:before { content: '\f015'; }

However, if you want to use custom image instead of FontAwesome icon, use this CSS (you still need to do step 1. and add your link into Xing field):

.c-social-icons > li { vertical-align: top; }
.c-social-icons .ico-xing i { display: none; }
.c-social-icons .ico-xing a { background-image: url('http://url-to-your-image.jpg'); background-size: contain; background-color: #FFF; }

Just change the URL and optionally also background color of this element.

Hi LSVR—thank you so much for the great theme! I have a question about renaming some of the titles for dynamic sections (e.g., notices, documents, etc).

I notice that for both of these sections, it adopts the title of whatever the latest notice/document is. For example, I would like the Notices page to have the heading of “Notices,” but instead it adopts the title of the last notice as you can see in this image. I don’t know if what I’m asking is clear, but I want the section to be named “Notices.”

Hi,

you have to create “Base Page” for each of those special post types. It is basically a regular page which you then set as Base Page under Theme Options / Notices, Theme Options / Documents, Theme Options / Events etc (you should create separate Base Page for each of those). Title of this page (and most of its settings defined under Page Settings) will be used for all pages associated with that particular post type (listing, detail etc.). That way you can for example create unique set of widgets for each post type (as seen on the demo).

BTW thanks for your rating!

Lubos

Oh, that makes sense: you had it listed in the documentation but I didn’t really understand why it was necessary at first. Now I get it! Thanks so much for the quick response.

Thanks again for the great theme; the rating was well-deserved.

Hi,

I am using WPML to add a second language to the site. I am able to translate most of the Widgets using WPML String Translation, however some widgets I cannot translate. For example, I can translate the title of the LSVR Mailchimp widget, but I cannot translate the text below the title, or the “Join the Newsletter now” box. I also cannot translate the “Search this site” box.

Can you help?

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve just checked it and you are right, some widget strings are not available for translation under WPML / String Translation. I will try to fix it in the next update, but meanwhile, you can try the following workaround:

1.) Go to WPML / Strings translation and scroll all the way down and click on “Translate texts in admin screens »” link at the bottom of the screen.

2.) On the next screen, search for “widget_lsvr_mailchimp_subscribe_widget”, click on it and click on any of its sub items to expand them. If you are using more than one instance of this widget, you will see multiple items (+1, +2 …). You will have to do all following operations for all of them.

3.) Check the “description” and any other field you want to translate.

4.) You can do the same for any other strings you are not able to find in basic String Translation

5.) Now scroll down and click on “Apply” button to save your changes

6.) Now navigate back to WPML / String Translations (click it again in the menu) and set “Select strings within domain” to “admin_texts_widget_lsvr_mailchimp_subscribe_widget”. There will be separate options for other strings you’ve added in step 4.

7.) Translate the strings as usual. You can see two different strings in my screenshot because I am using two different instances of Mailchimp widget on my test installation.

Does this have any special user controls? Our city has lots of departments, and we want those departments to only be able to edit their department’s pages and/or content.

Hi,

this theme does not offer any specific user controls beyond what’s already included by default in WordPress or via 3rd party plugins.

Lubos

that is too bad. i was really hoping this theme could simplify this process for us.

Hi,

have no idea how can I translate next text from the LSVR Notices widget “There are no notices at this time.” I created new language with loco translate, synchronized, but this text doesn’t exist in there. How can I access and translate it?

Thanks Igor

Hi,

some strings (especially those related to VC elements or custom widgets like this one) are part of LSVR Toolkit plugin, which have to be translated separately.

Lubos

Hi! Do you have an russian or ukrainian language in TownPress theme?

Hi,

there is no other translation than English, but theme is translatable, so you can translate it to any other language by yourself.

Lubos

Hi,

another question, how to make (header) background image to be visible more? I need to make bigger part of the background image to be visible.

Theme is awesome!

Thanks Igor

Hi,

try this custom CSS:

.header-image { height: 600px; }

Lubos

Hi guys,

Is It possible to have an automation of slider?

Hi,

sure, just edit the Slider element in Visual Composer and set its Autoplay Speed option.

Lubos

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I just wondering if it is possible to reorder the files in the “Documents” part?

Thanks Igor

This demo importer does not work correctly and the theme did not come with images. Most premium themes do. I want a refund.

Hi,

well, it is a basic decency to at least wait until I can take a look at it and tell what is going on with the importer before giving me one star rating, don’t you think? It certainly does work for everyone else. Maybe there is an issue with your server, I don’t know if you won’t give me more details.

Yes, images are not part of the theme and that is stated in the description. I don’t know how many themes you have purchased, but this is the same for most themes on ThemeForest. Images used in this demo are licensed, it is just not possible to include them in theme without breaking copyright.

There is a good reason why this theme has 5 star rating – because it DOES work and I always try to help my customers.

I am still willing to help you out if you are willing to change this unfair rating. Otherwise, feel free to ask for refund.

Lubos

I would like to change the BG color of post/blog title.

by default the BG grey/black with white text

Is there a way to do it by CSS.

Thanks Johnny.

Yes, I see it. So we are on the same page, the CSS I gave you two replies back should do exactly that for regular posts only. You can make it work for all pages by removing ”.post ” from start of both lines. No way that this CSS can affect top nav menu. Please add that CSS into Theme Options / Custom CSS and share your URL so I can check it live.

Ok here is what i have i think i might have some the code below incorrect go back to the first link i sent http://www.sthelenalocal.com/sample1/

Sorry but your code is totally messed up. Remove it ALL and just add this:

.post #page-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
.post #page-header:after { border-top-color: #FF0000; }

If you want to change BG for all titles (not only on blog posts) use this instead:

#page-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
#page-header:after { border-top-color: #FF0000; }

If you want to add any additional code, add it AFTER those two lines.

BTW, you don’t have to share screenshot of the CSS code, I can see the CSS code by examining your site’s source code.

Dobrý den, cht?l bych p?idat datum u dokument? (DOCUMENTS). V nastavení (THEME OPTIONS / DOCUMENTS) mám SHOW UPLOAD DATE = ENABLE. To se ale projevuje pouze na stránce DOKUMENTY, nikoliv na mnou vytvo?ené stránce, kde mám p?íslušnou kategorii dokument? zobrazenou pomocí VISUAL COMPOSER / P?IDAT PRVEK / typ DOCUMENTS. Dohledal jsem šablonu single-lsvrdocument.php, která ASI zobrazuje p?íslušné dokumenty. Když v ní ale ud?lám zm?ny, tak ty se na stránce neprojeví. Pot?eboval bych znát název šablony, kde mohu p?idat datum publikování ke každému ze zobrazených dokument? v n?jaké kategorii.

D?kuji

Dobry den, dekuji za radu, uz to mohu upravit. A neni zde moznost pomoci nejakeho IF pridat neco jen pro pripad widgetu a neco jen pro pripad zobrazeni v hlavnim obsahu uprostred?

Ovela jednoduchsie to bude skratka skryt cez CSS.

Dobry den, ano, to mate pravdu. Dekuji Vam.
