Used the Demo Importer within Theme Options to get site going. Lots of content missing including demo home screen and all pictures.

Any help?

Hi,

pictures are not part of the theme. It is mentioned in the item description. Front page can be set under Settings / Reading. Please read the whole documentation.

Hi there! I had a couple of quick questions that I thought you might be able to resolve.

Here is a screen shot of my site under development: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ctcqwuuirujjy6p/Screenshot%202017-02-19%2012.29.54.png?dl=0

I was able to update the color scheme using the code for the custom skin. However, I would like the dark blue color found in the footer background to also show up in the page title background. The code indicates that it should be blue. However, the blue color only shows up when I delete the RGBA code that creates the opacity change. Is there a way for me to fix this with the blue color showing the opacity change?

Also, if you look underneath the events, you’ll see that the icons for the share buttons aren’t loading. How would I fix that?

Thanks, Renee

This is the CSS being used:

Page Header:

page-header {

color: #FFF; background-color: #30415f; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); }

Footer:

.footer-top { color: #c6cfde; background-color: #30415f; background-color: rgba(48, 65, 95, 0.9); }

I’m thinking the header should still show up with #30415f in the background, but it looks like it’s black / grey.

Here is a link to the page with icon issue. The plugin is JetPack. http://www.scphousingauthority.com/newsandevents/

Figured out the background, it just didn’t make any sense that it would show up that dark.

Ad background: “background-color: #30415f; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);” means that ”#30415f” is ignored and overridden by “rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);” which is just black color with small opacity. You need this: “background-color: #30415f; background-color: rgba(48,65,95,0.8);”. The first “background-color” (without opacity) is fallback for older browsers which don’t support RGBA.

Ad social icons: since they do work on event detail, I guess this solution may work for you.

I’m trying to make some customization to the header layout. Make the “Search” area look like the one in the top-right of the site: http://lavega.gob.do/

Is there any way to achieve this?

Best regards,

Hi,

you will have to hire a coder for such customization.

Hi,

Really hoping to purchase this theme. Wanted to check what the custom colour options were like? Can we have any colour as a main colour, or just the presets available on the demo?

Does this theme work with custom codes for individual headers, too?

We use a test site to build on before transferring over to our main domain to avoid downtime. If we purchase this theme, will we be able to use it on the test site, then install on the main site after or will we have to buy it twice?

Many thanks,. Ro

Hi,

you can create your own color scheme with a bit of coding, check out the documentation for more info.

Not sure what you mean by “custom codes for individual headers”.

No problem with using it on the test site first. You don’t have to buy it twice for that.

Hello team,

I have kind of an issue on translating the back-end theme. I have managed to translate the townpress theme folder (main Theme Options tabs) but it looks like it doesn’t work for the LSVR-toolkit folder (the tabs of the main lateral back-end menu, NOT the tabs from the option panel). I have placed the .mo and .po files generated by the lsvrtoolkit.pot file into the \plugins\lsvr-toolkit-townpress\languages\ folder, should I place it somewhere else or is there some other language folders (or .php files) for the main back-end menu to translate?

Another point, I have an issue message on top of the admin dashboard which is displayed in almost every page of the back-end :

Warning: fileperms(): stat failed for mysite-host/admin/index.php in mysite-host/admin/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 935

Could you enlight me on the problem?

Hope it is understandable, Thank you Rom174

Thank you for the reply.

Just renamed the .mo file with “lsvrtoolkit-fr_FR” prefix and it works thanks. Is it strange that it doesn’t work with just the .po renamed or is it normal?

About the second point, as mentioned in the fileperms(), it seems to be a problem with the access to the index.php file : if ( ! defined(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’) ) define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, ( fileperms( ABSPATH . ‘index.php’ ) & 0777 | 0644 ) ); I forgot to precise that I have moved all the back-end in a subfolder, do you think this can be the problem. Should I define a new ABSPATH in the file.php ?

The .mo file is the actual translation file used in WP, the .po is just for the editing.

Check out this. This issue has nothing to do with the theme itself, so I can’t really help you with that.

Thank you Lubos for your explanations. I succeed to fix it. For those who could be facing this issue, the fix is to copy index.php and .htaccess files in the subfolder. You need to have both in the root and in the subfolder.

Hi, there seems to be a conflict between the theme and the Events Calendar Community plugin which allows the site visitor to submit their own event. See this page, the drop downs don’t work (but they work when the 2016 theme is activated). http://www.visitporterin.com/events/community/add. Also see this thread for a similar issue that was resolved. https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/registered-users-unable-to-add-new-venue-or-organiser/. Thanks.

Thanks. The plugin author suggested adding .select2-drop { z-index: 10000 !important; }, which I have done and it works.

(for the moment) :)

Sure, whatever works for you:)

Hi. We have bought the Theme and we are trying to translate locale weather plugin. SO we have create a fr_FR.po file from lsvrtoolkit.pot and upload both .po and .mo but it seems not work.

Any help would be appreciated Greg

Hi,

the correct name of .po / .mo file should be “lsvrtoolkit-fr_FR.po”.

Lubos

Yep, works fine :) Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry, but you will have to contact me via an account with which you have purchased the theme to get support. Thanks for your understanding.

Hello, I bought this theme but the visual composer and the WP visual editor not working. Also I cannot edit in pages the default templates.

Ok, I can take a look at it. Please share your wp admin credentials via PM.

Oh I’m currently running on local machine. Is it possible you to tell me what to check for ? if not I can upload the site to hosting but it will take me some time ..

Honestly, I have no idea. I mean it can be anything, it is not some sort of known bug I’ve already experienced so there is not much I can do without seeing it live.

Are you running 5.0.1 version of Visual Composer? Try to remove Directory element and insert it again. Try to switch to a Twenty Seventeen theme (with all TownPress plugins activated) to see if the issue will be there as well.

Is it possible to open one Social Link in the same window and the other links open in new tab?

Hi,

unfortunately, that’s not possible without some code customization and you will have to hire a freelancer for that.

I had an existing multisite installation using the Kasa Green theme, The site was on a .com url and I moved it to a .info url and installed townpress. When i try to install the required plugins (which i have to do on each sub site) I get an error that the download failed due to “Unauthorized” . How do i solve this problem?

Hi,

I’ve never heard about such issue and I am running multisite myself. But try to install plugins manually via uploading installable .zip files (network admin / plugins / add new / upload plugin). Then just either network activate it or activate it separately for each sub site. You can find plugins’ .zip files in theme’s full package downloaded from your account.

Hello, this is a great theme. Thanks for your hard work. We have one question, is it possible to add a static image of a map using the top map button instead of linking to google maps?

Hi,

unfortunately, that will require some custom coding and you will have to hire a freelancer for that. The code itself can be found in header.php file if that can help you in any way.

Hi, I don’t know why and when it happened, but the footer is no longer appearing on my website (http://douzillacmonvillage.fr/), and the weather cast and events don’t seem to load too. Same for my Facebook page plugin, which was working before… Could you help me? Thanks.

Hi,

it seems your server is running outdated version of PHP, make sure to update to at least PHP 5.4. Contact your hosting provider if you are not sure about this.

I tried to translate an alert message of mailchimp widget with no success (is an invalid email address and cannot be imported). Also when one uses an already subscribed email the given url is visible making the error message very long. I’ve already changed the default language in mailchimp account and I am using Loco Translate plugin.

Hi,

the only Mailchimp widget messages which can be translated are:

“Your email address is required”
“There was a connection problem. Try again later”
“Form sent successfully!”

All other messages are loaded directly from Mailchimp, so you should take a look at your mailchimp.com settings to change those.

Hi,

thanks a lot!

I have just purchased your theme and am having a hell of a time with the redux framework plugin. Ever sent I uploaded it I can’t access “All pages” on the backend. It lets me create a new page fine but I can’t access “all pages” it redirects me to the redux plugin page. Any solution?

Hi,

please send me your wp-admin credential via PM, I will take a look at it.

I am considering buying your theme but want to do my best to make sure it can do what I require before i go ahead and purchase, so over the coming days I will be sending some pre-sales questions.

1. Next to each section heading (i.e. choose you interest, town notices etc.) you have an orange and grey ‘icon’. Can these be removed / changed? Can I design and use my own icons?

2. I assume as it is on Wordpress I can have different users – can their names be added to articles next to the date when they publish articles? Also, can their name link to a page with their other articles on it?

3. I currently use Adsanity to place adverts on my current site and would like to do the same. With yours. Where on the site can I place advert banners please?

Hi,

1.) they can be remove via Custom CSS (I can help you with the code). But using your own icons is something else. That will require some non trivial customization and you will have to hire a freelancer for that. Or maybe you can find some suitable 3rd party plugin for that. Basically you just need an icon class which you can insert into the field of the element.

2.) Right now the author name can be enabled only for post detail page. The name is linked to their posts archive.

3.) There are no built in ad positions, but I guess any decent plugin should allow you to place them in the sidebar via widget, or in the bottom panel which also uses widgets.

Where can I find documentation about the newsletter and how does it work?

Hi, map in townpress theme doesn’t show and I don’t want to update the complete theme because I changed some css and made some translations in php files. Could you tell me which files should I change to get the API option in theme settings and get it to work?

Hi,

please check out the changelog. Map was changed in 1.3.8.

BTW, you should never change the parent theme. Customization should be done via child theme. I won’t be able to help you with any issues if you are running outdated theme version.

Hi My events are missing the title & breadcrumb. I’ve edited over the sample events and made new ones and the black box a the top with the title in it is missing – Anyone know why or how I can fix it? http://ludd.renaissancetest.co.uk/events/quiz_night-_with-_tim_and_jane/ Thanks in Advance

Hi,

you are using very outdated version of the theme. Please update it first. You can do it either via Envato plugin, or just download the installable .zip, remove your current version and install it again.
