I should also add: is this theme compatible with any of the extended permission plugins out there? So we could give our users more fine-tuned access …?

Hi,

generally, any 3rd party plugin should work, but I haven’t tested it with any specific permission one

Lubos

Hi – We are evaluating TownPress for our small town of 2,000 residents in Massachusetts – can you tell me a little more about its document storage and search capabilities? Can we categorize Documents and/or have different folders for different categories? Thanks in advance …!

Hi,

documents are categorizable, but I don’t know what you mean by “have different folders for different categories”. Here is the example of categorized documents.

Lubos

Can you please post the changelog for the LSVR toolkit?

Only reason I ask is because I have many customization and want to make sure I cover everything after the upgrade.

Hi,

I am sorry, but you should never change LSVR toolkit or Townpress theme files. Any customization should be done via child theme. If you need some hook in the plugin or theme, then let me know and I will see what can be done about it. However, you will have to contact me via account with which you have purchased the theme.

Hello,

I seem to be having an issue with the weather widget. It seems the weather forecast information is a day off even though the date and time are correct. Forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday match Open Weather Map for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks, Jay

Please share your site URL and URL for your location on openweather website

It seems that data are off day indeed, I am going to fix it ASAP.

Thanks for the quick fix.

Hello

I installed the theme without problems on my website, but I can not load the demo content. I would like to use as a starting point the same design and contents that can be seen in ENVATO.

Do you have any step-by-step guide or service that can do this?

Thank you

It was that!

I read the documentation calmly before asking because I see that it is very extensive and detailed …

good job

So it is resolved or you still need the assistance with the demo content?

Hello. Does this Latest version have Page Template attributes? Were you seeing the preview the News, Galleries, documents and others are displayed within a specific page according to category? It is possible to persnalize each page according to a categroia, example: Downloads are different from the sidebar. Gallery, can I change the background image from the top and also change the sidebar? Thank you for your attention. Will soon be buying the theme.

Hi,

there are no page templates. There are page settings which allow you to customize the page like add sidebars, disable tile and stuff. You can change the sidebar for each post type. You can change the header background image of course (demo images are not part of the theme anyway). Sorry, but I don’t understand rest of your questions. Please separate them into points (1.) question 2.) question etc) so it is more clear.

Lubos

Questions about the pages: 1- Is it possible to customize each page that has a certain category of posts? Example: When you open a news item it is displayed on the news page and it carries a menu listing news items. 2-Is there any demo page to test the admin panel? Sorry for english because I’m from Brazil

1.) Still not sure I understand. There are special URLs which will display posts of a certain category, like this This has nothing to do with the theme, this is core WordPress feature. 2.) Unfortunately not. But you can check out item description where you can find admin screenshots.

Hi, I don’t want to have the section of comments, under a post in frontend , like that: http://e-portal.info/shabla.bg/%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b0-2/ could You help me to remove it, thanks a lot !

I did it , You have already replied with this article – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-comments-on-pages-by-default/ – thanks

Hi,

glad you’ve sorted it out!

Lubos

I didn’t think this was a question that requires me to renew support, as it seems to be a problem that is not mine. I hope that is OK. I have been using the TownPress theme successfully since June of 2015. I am attempting to update the Visual Composer and cannot. A web page keeps popping open that wants me to buy it at $34. I tried deactivating and re-installing but am still getting the message to update it – then sends me to the page to buy it again. I can’t edit the site at all right now because when I hit the visual composer icon in the edit page, it again opens the page to purchase it. I really need to update the site. Thanks!

Hi,

ignore that message, that’s just an ad from VC author. You definitely don’t need to purchase anything. First, you need to update the theme. Once you do that, deactivate and remove Visual Composer. You will be prompted to install it again which will installs its latest version bundled with the theme.

Lubos

Okay, I just did all of that and VC is installed and active. In plug-ins under the Visual Composer it says this: “There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 5.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?” The last part ‘got visual composer in theme’ is a link that goes here: https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=524337

When I try to edit a page and click on the VC icon it still opens a new window and goes here: https://vc.wpbakery.com/?utm_campaign=VCplugin&utm_source=vc_user&utm_medium=backend_editor

I think it’s broken…

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

HI… Great Theme by the way :) I have an issue with comments being cut off short after just one line. I did read down through this thread and see it has happened before. I tried changing to another theme to check it was not a WP problem (which its not) and then I found your temp CSS fix… .article-page .article-comments { white-space: normal; } which has rctified the problem for now. Thank you and wilol you be adding this to bug fixes?

HI…I’m using TownPressVersion: 1.3.7 By LSVRthemes Municipality WordPress Theme

Then you should update as that’s an outdated version.

OK sorry… TownPressVersion: 1.4.7 now active. Thank you so much

Hello , could You tell me how to redact “Search this site…” in search placeholder on the left sidebar and in header. Thank’s.

Hi,

you need to translate the theme. Either via a plugin or via .po/.mo files

Lubos

Does the theme conflict with gravity forms at all? I have used gravity forms because I think they are easier to use but form time to time the forms stop working because code snippets such as “ <” are added which alters the action the forms take when submitted.

Hi,

please share your URL where I can see the issue.

Lubos

I am trying to Import Demo Data but when I go to Theme Options/Demo Importer, nothing shows up. What am I missing?

Hi,

make sure your sever is running at least PHP 5.4. Contact your hosting provider if unsure.

Lubos

I am running PHP 5.6.25 it’s at www.opennauvoo.org/wordpress

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

Hello! Could I install the theme in one directory of my existing domain and after that move the same project in new domain , that I will bye in future / after 2 weeks for example/. I кnow the technical way to do that , but I am not aware of the license terms, is it possible to move the project from one place to another? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

there is no problem with that.

Lubos

OK, thanks for the answer!

Hello – How do I make the boxes view like the alt view in your demo ?

Hi,

you can find the option to make the content elements boxed under Page Settings when you are editing the specific page.

Lubos

Please let me know if I am doing things wrong.

Cheers

Glad you’ve sorted it out!

Hi, I can buy this image http://wpdemos.lsvr.sk/townpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/01/footer-bg.jpg, where i can buy this http://wpdemos.lsvr.sk/townpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/01/footer-bg.jpg?

I’ve installed demo data for townpress, but the result is not the same as the demo website. How to be the same as the demo website?

Hi,

1.) here is the image

2.) You need to set your front page under Settings / Reading, menus under Appearance / Menus and widgets under Appearance / Widgets. Please read the whole documentation.

Lubos

hi, the WPBakery Visual Composer required update now. How do i update it since its came with the theme?

Hi,

you need to update the theme (download the latest version from your ThemeForest account). After update, you will see the notification with option to update to latest VC.

Lubos

One more question—I have seen this theme used with listings of local B&Bs or accommodations, is this a feature built into the theme or does it require a separate plugin? Many thanks, can’t wait to get this! :D

Hi,

that has to be some kind of 3rd party plugin. Theme doesn’t have built-in listing functionality. If you can share the URL where you saw it, I may be able to tell you which plugin is it.

Lubos

Unfortunately it was on this site: http://www.visitporterin.com/ Which as of last week has gone down for remodelling :(

That’s unfortunate. However, there are several free directory plugins available. If that site used a free one, then you will most likely find it there.

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

Any help?

Chris Littleton

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.

Lubos

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.
