Hi guys – I love the TownPress theme!
I set up a dev site to test the updates, and the background image is covering the text.
Here is the dev site: http://keokuk.nuggetweb.com/
Here is the live site that has not been updated: http://www.cityofkeokuk.org/
Can you help me get it looking good again?
Hi,
make sure that your site is not cached and that you haven’t made any modification to the code (for example via child theme) which can cause this.
I am leaving for vacation and I won’t be able to take a deeper look at it sooner than on Monday. If you won’t find the solution, get in touch with me after the weekend please.
Lubos
Hi Lubos,
It doesn’t appear to be a caching issue. I am using a child theme, but even if I remove the minor alterations I made, the background still covers the content.
Tim
Your dev site is missing part of the theme’s code, that’s why it’s broken. Can you please disable child theme (activate just parent one) so I can take a look?
Sure. I’ve activated the parent theme.
http://keokuk.nuggetweb.com/Now it looks even more broken because as you’ve activated the parent theme, it tries to load customskin.css from parent theme, but you have it in child theme (as you should). But that’s not the issue here. The thing is that now you do have the missing piece of HTML code there so I am 100% sure your issue is caused by some HTML customizations in child theme. It seems you have header.php file (or maybe some other files as well) in your child theme’s root which needs to get updated, because several updates back I’ve made a change to HTML code in some core theme files. Please check out changelog – update v1.2.9 description.
Okay, I removed the header.php from the child theme, and activated the child theme.
I think it’s better, but would you mind taking one last look and see if I’m missing anything?
It looks fine to me, if you have any other issues please let me know.
Hi I am having problems with the google maps feature. When I add a map to a page with a lat-long i get an error message in the box where the map should be upon loading the page that states. “Oops! Something went wrong.” “This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.” Chrome DevTools console is showing a NoApiKeys error.
Hi,
I’ve just submitted an update which is addressing this issue. It should be available within 24 hours.
Google made changes to their maps, so you will have to generate your own Google API key and insert it into field in Theme Options (which will be available in this new update).
Lubos
The update is already available, you can obtain it from your downloads.
Thanks, that works. One other quesiton is there a way to change the heading of a feature element to h1 rather than h3? Not just font size but the h1 tag as well
Not without editing the code, but you will have to hire a freelancer for that.
hello I bought it. There is support forum?
Hi,
right here.
Lubos
ok.
hello, good day am almost through with my developments now but my font seem to look too small, i still cant see any change even after i have added 1.2em as the font size in the custome css. please can you help, may be am not doing something right 2. regards the mailchimp subscribe to form, i already have an existing account with mailchimp with another domain name, i have gone through all the tutorials you provided regards creating the sign up forms, but when testing it my existing domain is still used as the salutation, is there a way to have a total seperate sign up forms purposely for my town press without troubles from the old domain. best regards
a quick follow up, when building grids, after the option to design grid template, grid does not appear in pages to be customized
Hi,
1.) you can change the base font under Theme Options / Typography
2.) you will probably have to use 3rd party widget for your mailchimp form http://wordpress.org/plugins/
3.) does it work when you switch to another theme?
Lubos
thank you fo ryour swift response, the number 1 problem has been solved. regards the grid, well i have not tried with any other theme, i have watched the video tutorials but it still doesent look same on my theme. Best regards
Please try the grid wit different theme (e.g. Twenty Sixteen) to make sure the issue is with TownPress not with something else.
okay would try that, best regards
the grid function seem to work well with the twenty sixteen theme and gives further options like masonry grid,post grid etc which am not able to see with this theme. regards
Ok, I will take a look at it after the weekend when I get back from vacation. Meanwhile, can you please send me step by step directions of what exactly are you trying to do so I can follow it on my installation? Thanks.
okay, well am trying to build a grid post with some images displayed in the grid. 1. I scroll to the “grid builder” segment on the VC options on the wordpress dashboard. 2. I opt for “add new grid” which opens up a page for certain options and templates to be added then grid is saved 3 I now scroll to the “pages” option hoping to see the just created grid page so as to be able to add grid contents etc. but does not appear there. PLS Note. I followed the you tube video tutorials from wpbakery which further shows options of masonry grid etc on the vc elements. Please advice and a quick one my header map no more seem to be displaying after updating theme. best regards
Ok, as I’ve said, I will take a look at this grid issue after the weekend.
Ad maps: due to recent changes to Google API, you need to generate your own API key and insert it into API key field under Theme Options / Header Settings (description of this field contains link with more info).
Hi, so as promised, I looked into this grid issue. The thing is that almost all default VC elements are disabled for this theme, the grid elements included. You can re-enable them by editing wp-content/themes/townpress/includes/visual-composer-settings.php file and just remove lines 34 to 37. But please note that I do not officially support those default elements in my theme, so if you come across any issues with them, I won’t be able to help you with it.
thanks for your time, but where exactly do i find this wp-contents?themes. because i went into the editor under appearance so many words that i cant find the line you talking about. please advice. best regards
It may not be available in WP editor (not all PHP files are). You will have to access it via some FTP software.
Hello, I need to create a new template for pages, I need to indicate where the default template is located. Thank you
Hi,
you mean the template file? It’s page.php in theme’s root folder.
Lubos
Hello, I mean template designs for pages. Create a template that has no menu or header or standing alone post.
I mean this:
www.intercap.com.ar/imagenes/seleccionar-plantilla.jpg
You need to make copy of page.php and modify it to your needs code-wise. If you are not a coder you will have to hire one for this job.
LSVR, Your staff does not have the classic structure of Wordpress, ie with template files. So I am compelled to write to you so you can send me an instructive. I am developer Wordpress but in this case it is up to you to help me resolve this issue.
<?php /* Template Name: Page Default */ ?>
Ok, I guess I finally understand. Header is part of header.php file which has to be included in every single template unfortunately. So if you want to create a template without header, you will have to either hide it via CSS or use is_page_template function in header.php to hide the header code if your custom template is currently displayed.
“Your staff does not have the classic structure of Wordpress” – I am really not sure what do you mean by that.

Hi,
you will have to contact me via an account with which you have purchased the theme.
Lubos
How do I exchange ”Welcome to TownPress, the Most Exciting Town of Northeast!” of another text. Tks
Hi,
edit your front page and scroll down to Page Settings.
Lubos
Hi, tell me please how can I create the window (menu) Chose Your Interest from the first page in your theme. Please more details
Please read the documentation.
Hi, I am trying to change the color and opacity of the page-header box, the one that holds the page-title and breadcrumbs. I want to add some custom css, but I’m a bit stuck and can’t figure out where the css code is that I should alter. Thanks
Hi,
you can do it by creating your own color scheme, here is the tutorial on that. But tutorial covers only basics, you will need to do more advanced changes inside this color scheme file. Definitions for this title box start at line 479.
Or you can do it via some Custom CSS, in such case you can apply your CSS to ”#page-header” element.
Lubos
purchase code to verify that you’ve purchased this item. 2ac93149-8e20-44cc-8e28-ad34915f491e – 7 Hello, Where can I see pages IDs to exclude
Hi,
open the page or post in the admin, you will see the ID in the URL, for example
yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=56&action=edit
ID is 56

Hi there,
Having a big problem here. I installed Toolset plugin which is compatible with all themes. I can use it with Townpress theme only when I disable LSVR Toolkit (TownPress) plugin. Is there a way to use this theme without Toolkit plugin? If that is not possible, could you please tell me would it be too complicated to make this Toolkit plugin compatible with Toolset plugin. I contacted Toolset plugin support, they couldn’t help me.
Thank you,
Amela
Hi,
can you please share a link to this Toolset plugin where I can read more about it?
Lubos
Hi Lubos, Toolset has several plugins and the one that is problematic here is CRED (the others I’m using are working just fine). The link for more info: https://wp-types.com/home/cred/ Thank you, Amela
I see. But since it is a premium plugin, I can’t try it myself.
Try to enable the debug mode on your WP site, then enable both plugins and if there is any error message, please let me know.
Feel free to use a PM for that if you don’t want to share it in this public forum.
It’s not showing any error notice, but still doesn’t work.
Send me a PM with your admin credentials and I can take a look.
Very happy with this theme! Is there a way to use hanging indents in page/post content without changing how other things (widgets, document lists, etc) appear side wide?
Hi,
you can try following Custom CSS:
#page-content p { padding-left: 20px; text-indent: -20px; }
But it may affect some other elements as well (but only in content part of the site), in such case you will have to hire a developer to create a more advanced code for this.
Lubos
Hello, I have bought a townpress theme and I want to activate map, but there is a problem. The map doesn’t show, just the icon, not the coordinates. When I click to map icon, the coordinates don’t appear. I put latitude and longitude at map section on header settings and again the coordinates don’t appear.
What I have to do more? Can you help me please?
Hi,
you will have to contact me via an account with which you have purchased the theme.
Lubos
I own this theme and I am being hacked all the time. Somebody is Adding script into header.php file of theme. What should I do?
Hello. I dont know what, but since some days (weeks ?), the Visual Composer don’t show any item on the edit page, and I cant edit or ad or remove items, only on classic mode. Please let me know what is this problem. Thanks.
Hi,
please update the theme to the latest version (1.3.7), then deactivate and remove Visual Composer. You will be prompted to install it again, which will installs its latest version bundled with the theme.
Lubos
Thank you. All is ok, now
Hi there, somehow comments are not showing on pages. Any clue how to fix? hope to hear from you,
Best
JW
Hi,
make sure you are using latest version of TownPress (1.3.7), then you can enable comments under Settings / Discussion

Hello, wonderful theme I has so many great features! I was wondering if there is a setting that I am missing to customize the featured image pages.
When I select a featured image for posts it displays at the top of the entry, but when I specify a featured image for pages the background image changes. I was hoping that it would work similarly to the posts features images – maybe I don’t have a setting correct?
Thanks!
Hi,
featured image works differently for posts and pages, exactly as you are describing. There is not an option to change this behaviour unfortunately.
But you can insert an image directly into page’s content and it should be possible to make it look like post’s featured image (without paddings on sides) with some custom CSS. Feel free to insert the image into one of your pages, share your URL where I can see it and I will take a look at it.
Lubos
Thanks for the reply — at least I know not to fight with it!
This is a sample of a page with an image. http://discoverbezanson.ca/about-bezanson/grants-bursaries/
I prefer how your featured images look for the pages, I am just not sure how to specify the custom CSS like you say. I’m a bit of a newbie.
Well, first you should use a slightly bigger image (at least 700px in width). Then add the following CSS to Custom CSS in Theme Options and it should do the job for all pages (only the very first content image will be affected, there can’t be any content before that image):
.page.type-page .page-content-inner > p:first-child > img { margin: -24px -30px 0 -30px; }
Hello,
Very nice template 
I have a question. Is it possible to have a general logo for the site but as we have several different departement with theire own logos to change it when we are on the page of specific departement.
For example I have Logo1 for homePage of the website, than I have Fire department and I would like to see the logo of Fire Departement instead of General logo, than we have another departement Police departement and I would like to see Police logo, etc.. We have 6-8 departement.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Fred
Hi,
sorry, but that’s not possible without some additional coding and you will have to hire a developer for that.
Lubos
hello,as usual this is arguably one of the best themes I have come across. Thumbs up. have a few questions though 1. on my home page the featured posts seem to show too much contents as summary, is there a way to make the post summary fewer, 2. secondly, with regards my news (page) or blog post, articles seem to always show in full even though i have opted for it to only show summary in the feed. the entire articles show in full, following each other , that makes the page too long if am deciding to display even just 3 post. can you help so it appears like that of the demo ( thus various article titles with short summary) 3. you also talked about editing the header in other to place adds there, can you show where to find those header codes to be edited. 4. Lastly, when using visual composer to build pages the ACCORDION and TAB features don’t seem to give me any settings to be able to create . all it asks for is “extra class name”,
Hi,
1.) you should define post’s excerpt.
2.) same as 1.)
3.) Not sure what do you mean, but if you want to edit the header, you will have to edit it via code and you will have to hire a freelancer for that
4.) You have to edit tab/accordion item, not the parent container. Those are two separate elements.
Lubos
thanks very much , everything working great now, Kudos
Ahoj Lubos, mam dva problemy, ktore sa snazim uz dlhsie vyriesit, no uz som sa asi zacyklil…
1. Ked si otvorim stranku Uradne oznamy (Notices URL Slug), hlavne menu sa mi zobrazi pekne rozbalene. Ked si vsak kliknem na niektory oznam (notice), hlavne menu sa zobrazi kompletne zbalene. U teba v deme to vsak pekne funguje aj tak, aj tak.
2. Ked si otvorim stranku Uradne oznamy (Notices URL Slug), breadcrumb nezodpoveda strukture hlavneho menu (malo by byt Home / Obec a samosprava / Uradna tabula / Uradne oznamy). Da sa s tym nieco robit?
Dakujem za pomoc.
Miso
Nazdar,
1.) tipujem ze to bude kvoli tomu ze tvoja URL na notices je ”/obec-a-samosprava/oznamy/” nie len ”/oznamy/”, ale nie som si isty
2.) breadcrumbs nema s menu nic spolocne, to sa vyskladava podla uplne inej logiky
Lubos
Ahoj, chví?u to síce trvalo, ale zistil som pôvod problému 1) – v menu som neuvádzal absolútne URL, ale iba relatívne…SOLVED 
Inak web uz bezi a je to (skoro) finalny produkt: www.niznaboca.sk
Super, dobra praca!
Hello, i would like to disable the comments on the website, particularly in events section is it possible ? Or if it’s not possible is it possible to disable it by default on an event ?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
you can manage comments under Settings / Discussion or by editing the specific Events (make sure to check “Discussion” under Screen Option in upper right corner when editing an Event).
