Hey! quick question: how do you create a “All Posts” link at the bottom of the sidebar for posts specifically. I see it exists in the notices widget but not the posts widget. I went to the widgets and saw that the LSVR widgets have a “more button” option which is not available in the standard widgets. Your demo has a more button on nearly all sidebar widgets. How do I enable this? Thanks
Hi,
posts widget is a core WP widget and it doesn’t have such option. So you will either have to search for some 3rd party plugin which allows that (if such plugin exists) or hire a freelancer to code it for you.
Lubos
Thank you for the prompt reply! Understood. I was able to find the necessary plugins and do what I needed to. However, I have another issue that I can’t wrap my head around: the custom post type pages (documents, notices, etc.) aren’t working. Every time I go to mysite.com/documents for example, it automatically forwards me to documents-base page. Same thing for Forum. I created a new forum page, named it “forum base”, which became the default slug for the page. I assigned it in theme options as the base page. Despite successful installation of bbpress, mysite.com/forums keeps forwarding me to the base page. I’m so confused.
Try to go to Settings / Permalinks and re-save those settings. If it won’t help, please share your URL so I can take a look.
That worked, thanks. Not sure what caused. I did install a couple of plugins after which I started experiencing this. Maybe it’s just a correlation. Anything I should know?
“I did install a couple of plugins after which I started experiencing this” – well, then you have your answer. But this is nothing to worry about, simply resave your permalink settings each time you are experiencing similar issues. http://arkhamarchivist.com/the-two-most-common-fixes-for-wordpress-problems/
I am having a problem similar to another users, in that the Events don’t seem to populate on my homepage. I see you recommended using PHP 5.6, but the hosting plan my client is using through GoDaddy only supports up to PHP 5.5. I’m wondering if there is another fix to make this work?
Hi,
PHP 5.5 should be enough, I doubt that your issue is related to that. Please share your URL so I can take a look.
Lubos
I’m also having trouble getting the footer to show on the homepage. http://test.shullsburgwisconsin.org/
I’m having to upgrade from 5.2 to 5.5 and that means a different hosting plan, so I’m not quite up to 5.5 yet.
Would PHP 5.4 be enough? Looks like after digging deeper GoDaddy doesn’t go up to 5.5.
So this is a PHP error after all. You definitely need to upgrade. PHP 5.6 is recommended for the WordPress itself, not just for this theme.
BTW, only the Events functionality is the issue here, everything else should work fine even with your version of PHP. Just remove Events widgets from all sidebars and you can do some work on your site until you upgrade your PHP.
Hi! Fantastic theme, good job
I purchased the theme and I need to put videos
I would like if possible I need them in this way, one at the top of the page in large (the last uploaded) and the other smaller below.
something like these example. http://www.periodicoclm.es/video/ http://www.periodicoclm.es/video/politica/directo-rueda-prensa-presidente-castilla-la-mancha-emiliano-garcia-page/20160208115239004386.htmlThank you
*Sorry for my bad English
Hi,
sorry, but you will either have to find a suitable 3rd party plugin or hire a freelancer for something like that.
Lubos
I would like to use weatherbug.com for the weather, is there a plugin displaying their feed that you are aware of?
Thanks
Hi, I purchased this theme and it is perfectly working for the first website. However, I’m trying to use it for a second website, visual composer is not working. would you please assist me on that? thanks
Hi,
I’ve already replied to you PM, please check your email.
Lubos
Hello, how many times I can use this theme?
Can you please give me instructions how to install updated version? Thank’s in advance. Br, Spela
Hi Lubos. Now that I updated and changed .mo files, I still have two words that are not translated. Those words are Today and Current time in LOcale. In my late version I have found the solution by myself, but now I am lost again. I have been searching for solutions for two hours however as I don’t have much time, I have decided to ask you for instructions. Can you give me instruction how to translate Today and Current time in Locale app. Thanks!
You can find them in LSVR Toolkit plugin (wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/widgets/locale.php). Basically all widget related strings are part of that plugin.
Sorry I don’t understand your explanation. Can you please give me exact instructions (step by step) how to change Local time and Today to Slovene language?
Those strings are not part of the theme, but part of the accompanied plugin – LSVR Toolkit TownPress.
You can translate it in the same way as you’ve translated the theme, with the exception that you can find its .po file in wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/languages.
Not sure I can explain it better. Since you were able to translate the theme’s strings (as you’ve mentioned in previous reply) I assume you are familiar with .po /.mo files.
Ok, now I got it. All plugins have special .po files under lsvr-toolkit-townpress/language. I have found it and used poedit to make translation and sl.si.po and sl_si.mo file. I have put both in the same folder + made a zip. I have copied the whole lsrv-toolkit-townpress.zip to plugins folder on my server, but it still doesn’t work. How is this possible? Sorry, I am not doing my best…
I also put sl.po and sl.mo files in wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/languages folder on my server but still no change…
Just to let you know – I solved the problem. I found code under plugins in the dashboard and I changed the words in the code for locale. Thanks anyway.
You have to put the sl_SI.mo file in lsvr-toolkit-townpress/languages folder and it still doesn’t work, I will have to take a look at your URL.
If you’ve already changed it in the code, then please note you will have to do it everytime you update the plugin in the future.
Hello! I’m just getting started with this theme. So far, mostly good. Just had an issue importing certain content, i.e menus. I could not import data through the theme options so I had to do it manually using the xml file. While everything was successful, I got the following error relating to the menu: Menu item skipped due to invalid menu slug: main-menu. By the way, I’m using the WordPress importer tool.
Thanks!
Hi,
nobody reported such error yet. Did you’ve installed the theme on a new installation or have you been using the site before (with different themes in the past)?
Also, have footer menu been imported successfully?
Lubos
Thanks for the reply. This is a new installation, with no theme installation before it. When you say footer menu, are you referring to the “home”, “documentation” and “purchase” links on the bottom-right of the demo site? If so, then no, they also did not import. No kind of menu imported as I checked the menu section and it’s completely empty. I guess it’s not a big deal since I have no problem in creating the menus. But I figured that I should inform you of what happened. You are welcome to access my site to further investigate.
I did some googling on this “Menu item skipped due to invalid menu slug” error and I found out several other buyers reporting this for other ThemeForest items as well, so I guess this is some kind of site configuration thing. But you can re-create the menu in matter of few minutes and there is even chapter in documentation on this topic. Any investigation would take me much longer.
Sorry for any inconvenience, I hope you won’t experience any other issues with TownPress!
Suggestion for the LSVR Image widget:
Could you kindly add a Link Target checkbox so that when we use images to point to external sites we can easily send them to a new tab or new window.
Thanks
Hi,
sure, I will try to add it in the next update.
Lubos
Hi. It seem I have a problem with Visual composer. It doesn’t want to upload… I haven’t updated the theme with a new version so I suppose this might be a problem. I have changed .mo and .po files and I don’t want to overwrite them with an updated version. Can you help me solve this problem? Br, Spela
Hi,
sorry, but if you are having any issues with the theme, I am not able to help you before you update to the latest version. Just put your language files in Languages folder in child theme so you won’t lose them when you update parent theme.
Lubos
Hi. I updated the theme with the newest version but it looks like there is still a problem with visual composer. It doesn’t want to load on pages and notices that are already build. Can you please help me as I am right before the launch of the page? Spela
If you are running TownPress 1.3.3, deactivate and remove your current version of Visual Composer. Then you will be then prompted to install it again and the latest version of VC bundled with the theme will be installed.
It looks like visual composer deactivated by itself and when I want to activate it again, it says that there is no license found. What can I do?
Again – please remove it, then follow the prompt at the top of the admin to install it again. The prompt looks like this.
Uf, it looks like now it works. Thank you!
Even though I have several upcoming events, my sidebar widget displays:
UPCOMING EVENTS There are no events at this time.
So how does this work – does it only look at events in the next 24, 48 hours or what? Can I set the date that it looks ahead to?
Hi,
make sure your widget is not set to display only Events from a specific category, which doesn’t contain any events at the time. Please share your URL so I can take a look.
Lubos
Lubos,
Is there any way to sort a List of Documents other than the default of date? It would be nice to be able to check a box to change sort options when displaying a document list.
Jorge
Hi,
you mean sorting on front-end (allow your visitors to sort them) or setting the custom order in back-end?
Lubos
Hey Lubos,
Sorry I should’ve been clearer, I meant on the admin back end. When adding a list of documents to display on a page, I would like to sort it alphabetically or even by some optional numerical value if possible.
Thanks Jorge
Try this plugin. It will allow you to reorder basically any post type (posts, documents, notices, galleries) via simple drag & drop.
Thanks I like that one, it works nicely.
Looks like I spoke too soon apparently. The Intuitive CPO plugin does not seem to work well for me.
FYI: upon activation it reverses the default sort of posts and it does not seem to work equally with document lists inside widgets and those inside page content areas.
Any other suggestions?
It is seems that Intuitive CPO is not able to fully override theme’s post ordering, but that’s something which will require deeper look. I will definitely try to fix it in the next update. I will probably introduce some sort of new theme options for sorting of each post type like “by title”, “by date”, “ascending”, “descending” and “do not touch it and leave it for 3rd party plugin”.
I can’t recommend you anything else as any other plugin of this type will very likely have issues too. I will release an update later this week or earlier next week. Until then, you can reorder Documents by changing their publish date.
Or, if you feel adventurous, you can try to edit wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/widgets/documents.php file and remove line 114 and 115. This should allow Intuitive CPO to do its job in LSVR Documents widget and Documents element. But again, I will need to take a better look at all this, so I can’t guarantee this fix will work.
That sounds great, I look forward to your upcoming changes/additions.

Lubos
is it possible to rotate events in the widgets?
Hi,
what do you mean by “rotate”?
Lubos
basically, I would like to have a scrolling ticker… or fade in/fade out of events… or may be a slider with previous & next arrow…..so that the widget can show multiple events using lesser space
Sorry, but something like that would require custom coding and you will have to hire a freelancer for that.
Thank you for the great theme. I need to create a section of the site that is accessible only by Board Members. It mostly includes documents for viewing and download like meeting minutes, financials, etc. Would BB Press work for this or is there another plug-in more suitable? Much appreciated.
Hi,
unfortunately, I don’t have experience with any specific plugin for such functionality. Your best bet is to search through the official plugin repository.
But this one looks like it can do the job. I haven’t tested it, I am just making assumption based on its description.
bbPress is just for forum only, it has nothing to do with Documents or other post types. You can use its login/register forms for your users to log in, but you can’t restrict the content beyond the forum posts with it.
It is very likely that such specific functionality would require a custom coding, but it is worth to try few plugins first.
Lubos
Thank you for your quick response. I did find a plugin specifically for Board Member Management of Nonprofits. Looks like the ticket. Much appreciated.
It works with the update. Thank you! Thomas
Great!
Hi How can I enable comments on notices and events?
Hi,
first make sure you are using latest version of the theme (1.3.3). Then just edit a notice or event, scroll down and you will see the option there.
Lubos
Hello, since newest word press release 4.5.1 it seems that WPBakery Visual Composer included in theme doesn’t work properly. I’m unable to choose and insert visual composer elements. Update of plugin is not possible since there is no stand alone license for it. What would you recommend in order to solve issue?
Dobry den,
mozme po nasom:) Stiahnite a nainstalujte si najnovsiu verziu TownPress (1.3.3). Nasledne deaktivujte a zmazte sucasnu verziu Visual Composera. V admine potom uvidite prompt na jeho znovunainstalovanie – potvrdte a nainstaluje sa najnovsia verzia 4.11.2.1

Hi, i did the theme update (as well as Redux, LSVR & VC), and now my page templates are weird… kind of full width. The header & title are not showing anymore, both sidebars with elements (documents, events, notices, ...) are on extreme sides. I can send you access for a better understanding of the problem. Thanks for your feedback.
Hi,
did you make any changes in Child Theme in the past? One of the recent updates made some significant changes to the page layout, and if you are overwritting any of core theme files (like header.php, footer.php, page.php, etc.) in your child theme, you need to modify those files as per parent theme. You can read more on this in full changelog (update 1.2.9).
Lubos
Yep, thanks 
Missed this one ! All good now.
After installing v1.3.3 does not work “Customise Your Site”, does not accept the changes. Is the problem in the update?
Hi,
you mean Appearance / Customize? If so, this feature was never fully supported in this theme, please use Theme Options for that.
Lubos
Yes, Appearance / Customize.
OK, or 1.3.2 has been working on.
Make sure to update Redux Framework plugin to its latest version 3.6.0.1. I’ve just checked the Customizer on my development installation and it seems to work just fine.
I have installed Redux Framework 3.6.0.1. I think the problem in LSVR Toolkit (TownPress) version 1.1.8. With version 1.1.0 works.
Can you tell me name of one specific field which doesn’t work for you so I can test it for myself? Or none of them does work?
In Customise mode does not work even one field of LSVR Toolkit.
Can you send me your wp-admin credentials via PM so I can take a look?
This morning I installed the latest version of Redux Framework (3.6.0.2) and now works! Thank you
Checking out their changelog, there indeed was some issue with Customizer. Great you’ve sorted it out!
