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

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?

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.html

Thank 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 don’t have experience with this service, but I found this with a quick search.

Lubos

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?

Hi,

you need separate license for each project. You can learn more about licenses here.

Lubos

Can you please give me instructions how to install updated version? Thank’s in advance. Br, Spela

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

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

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

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?

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!
