First off thank you for developing such a great them, it has been a pleasure to work with.

In the Header Settings I have the Header Slideshow option enabled (showing blue), but when I click the “Add/Edit Gallery” button nothing happens. I have even clicked the “Clear Gallery” button a few times, but I still can’t add images. Do I need to configure any other settings to be able to add images to the header slideshow?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

does it worked before, or did you just installed the theme and it does not work? Try to increase your PHP memory to 128MB. If that won’t work then send me your wp-admin credentials via PM and I will take a look at it.

Hi, my customer wants to use a better Calendar in the Theme to show Events – can I use a different one and do you recommend any. Tried a couple but the current Events do not show in the month displays

Hi,

The Events Calendar is probably the most popular one. But you should deactivate the built-in events first. Please send me a PM and I will get back to you on how to do that later today as I am off computer right now.

Lubos

Hi,

here is the code to deactivate the default events functionality (in case you want to use a 3rd party plugin for events). Put the code into to your child theme’s function.php:

add_filter( 'lsvr_townpress_enable_events', 'myfunction_enable_lsvr_events' );
if ( ! function_exists( 'myfunction_enable_lsvr_events' ) ) {
    function myfunction_enable_lsvr_events () {
        return false;
    }
}

The links in posts at frontpage are unclickable and they don’t work. How can I change that?

I understand. Yes that shouldn’t happen. Have you added the excerpt manually via excerpt field, or have you left the field blank? Unfortunately, I am off computer until Tuesday afternoon, so I am not really able to provide more technical help with that until then. But I do believe there must be a way to make it work.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I’ve found the issue and will be releasing a fix for that this week.

If you don’t want to wait and don’t mind changing the code a little bit, the you can do it yourself like this: open wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/shortcodes/articles.php file, go to line 196 and change “get_the_excerpt” to “get_the_content”. But I do recommend to wait for an official update.

Ok. I will wait for the update! Thank you!

HI author,

I think this theme has been affected by malware. All my posts and page are included this text even when i’m trying to create new post/page it has already been there.

  <script type=’text/javascript’> eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function©{return c.toString(36)};if(!’’.replace(/^/,String)){while(c-){d[c.toString(a)]=k©||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c-){if(k©){p=p.replace(new RegExp(’\\b’’\\b’,’g’),k©)}}return p}(‘i(f.j(h.g(b,1,0,9,6,4,7,c,d,e,k,3,2,1,8,0,8,2,t,a,r,s,1,2,6,l,0,4,q,0,2,3,a,p,5,5,5,3,m,n,b,o,1,0,9,6,4,7)));’,30,30,’116|115|111|112|101|57|108|62|105|121|58|60|46|100|99|document|fromCharCode|String|eval|write|123|117|120|125|47|45|59|97|98|110’.split(’|’),0,{})) </script> Taylor, who ran http://essayprofs.com/ on a platform of creating a more democratic and inclusive union, has advocated slowing down the implementation of the compensation plan

I have no idea what going on. Please assist me to solve the issues accordingly.

Thank you

Hi,

you should always use a plugin like Wordfence to secure your site. Check out this official guide from WordPress on what to do if your site was hacked.

Please note that this is very unlikely caused by the theme. Of course, if you have an evidence about any security bug in TownPress, do let me know and I will deal with it asap.

Lubos

Hi author,

Thank you for your feedback on this, really appreciate it. Currently I have my technical team to investigate the issues. By report provided to me previously the website has been infected with the malware and backdoor. I will wait for the final report.

Meanwhile, I would like to change the header search box to social media icons list (same like in the footer yr demo). Could you assist me on that.

Regards

I am pretty sure it was infected with malware indeed, based on your first measage, the question is how. Of course, if you find any security issues in the theme, please let me know.

Ad social links in header: I am sorry but that’s not possible without some non trivial code customization. You will have to change PHP files and create some CSS to make it look good. Changes like these are not covered by the support unfortunately, so your best bet is to hire a freelancer for the job.

Why loco does not translate anything at all?

Hi,

I will have to take a look at your site. Unfortunately, I am off computer until Wednesday. Can you try to translate few strings via Poedit just to test if that works for you?

You can PM me and I will get back to you as soon as possible (probably on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning CET).

Lubos

I would like the default setting for breadcrumbs to be disabled rather than enabled. Is this possible? If so how?

Hi,

that’s not possible without changing the code and you will lost that change after the theme update so I don’t really recommend doing it. However, it is up to you of course. Edit includes/redux/meta-config.php file on line 120. Change “1” to “0”.

If you would rather hide the breadcrumbs globally, use this Custom CSS instead:

.breadcrumbs { display: none; }
.m-has-breadcrumbs .page-title { padding-bottom: 24px; }
.m-has-breadcrumbs .page-title:after { display: none; }

Today can’t “customize” site. get the following error Non-existent changeset UUID.

www.littlecalriverbasin.org www.newmediakings.com/river

Ok, I did some googling and I assume you are getting it under Appearance / Customize, but the recommended way to customize this theme is via Theme Options.

I found the problem was in permalinks when I changed the site url to my domain When I changed back to the WP address everything was fine And when I view the site www.littlecalriverbasin.org the icons are missing, but there if I view from the WP url

Thanks, this template is awesome

Ad missing icons: that’s because of your server config. There are multiple articles on how to fix it by editing your .htaccess file, check out this for example.

When publishing notices, is there a way to set it to expire at a specific date/time? How about events? Can upcoming events auto post and self-delete after the event occurs? Thanks

Hi,

it should be possible via some 3rd party plugin. But removing the event altogether will require some custom coding.

Hi, I have a weird behaviour of townprss: each time i change a page the menu is gone. With erasing the page the menu comes back. When I set up a page without making a change after piblishing – everything is fine, till I edit something on that page. As an example: www.gschmui.de go to Gemeinde and Immelstetten.. Hope you can help me with this weird mistake.

Hi,

I am sorry, but you will have to contact me via an account with which you have purchase the theme to get support.

HI. Townpress seems like a great theme. Is there a pdf of the documentation? I’d love to print it out since I don’t have multiple monitors and get lost switching back and forth. Thanks!

Looking for information on how to update the child theme for my site using Townpress without breaking the child theme.

I have a widget category in a custom sidebar that will not save. It saves all categories (thus show all documents now instead of the selected category). I want to take care of this without loosing child theme settings. Thank you, Sandra

Hi,

you mean how to update the parent theme. There is no reason to update the child theme.

Easiest way is to use Envato Market plugin. Or you can just download latest version of the theme from your Downloads and overwrite it via FTP.

Lubos

Hi, our logo doesn’t show up on the website. See “www.blavand.dk” How do we fix this and what could be causing the issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

the logo does show on your website, try to refresh your browser.

Lubos

Hi, as you can see on “www.blavand.dk” the Map is not working. How do i fix this?

Hi,

have you added your Google API key under Theme Options / Header Settings?

Lubos

Hi, when i go to a page on the site in the breadcrumbs it says “Home” instead of the name i gave to the frontpage which is “Forside” Why does it do that? :)

Hi,

I am sorry but the breadcrumb home link label is always “home”. You can translate it via Loco Translate plugin or Poedit software.

Lubos

Hi, how do i choose what text from a post i show as the short description? Right now it just shows ALL the text form post when you’re on the Posts page. See here: http://www.blavand.dk/nyheder/ HELP?!

Hi,

when editing a post click on Screen Options in upper right corner and enable Excerpt. Then scroll down and add your short text into Excerpt field.

Lubos

Just what i was looking for, thanks!

Hello! Thanks for the great theme. I have two doubts: 1 – How to translate the word MAP that is in the button up where google maps opens?

2 – In HOME, there is an image linked to NEWS. Can you increase its height by keeping the width?

Thanks for your attention!

Hi,

1.) This string is in the header.php file in the theme, so the easiest way will be to use Loco Translate plugin

2.) Not sure I understand which image do you mean, can you share your URL please?

Lubos

We love this theme! I’m working on layout now, but my Client likes to use Bullet Lists in Wordpress. Unfortunately, this Theme includes the common problem of text wrapping around onto a new line (hanging text) whenever you incorporate a Bullet list (you only notice it when text is long and runs over 1 line). It’s really unattractive but I can’t find out how to stop it in TownPress (other than using much larger Tables instead). The issue apparently rates to a setting of “list-style-position: inside” and it should be set to “list-style-position: outside” but I can’t seem to find this or figure out how to correct the layout problem. Any ideas?

You can try this Custom CSS (place it under Theme Options / Custom CSS or into your child theme’s style.css):

li { list-style-position: outside; }

This will put those bullets outside of the content area, which is not ideal. It can be fixed by this additional CSS:

ul { padding-left: 20px; }

However, this one can affect some other site elements as well. So once you insert it, check out your site if there is not any unusual left indent where it shouldn’t be.

That’s absolutely perfect Lubos! Thank you for the solution :) I haven’t noticed this Custom CSS impacting upon any other elements on my TownPress theme implementation, so far. Your solution has resolved an issue that I do find quite frustrating. Thank you for such a swift reply too.

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to display only the event title in the events widget in the sidebar and not any of the description. I would like for the description to be seen only when the event is clicked. Thank you

never mind, I was overlooking the checkbox on the widget :)

Hi,

I am glad you’ve sorted it out!

Lubos

Hi, TownPress – Municipality WordPress Theme is multilanguage supported? Can i use Polylang with this theme? Thanks in advantage. Sincerelly, Berkeczi Zsolt

Hi,

I’ve tested it only with WPML, but it should work with Polylang as well.

Lubos

Hi

This is the url: http://www.luddington.org/events/

The page title for the list of events page shows as the first event. No t sure why.

The same happens in the Galleries, it shows the first Gallery as the page name for the list page: http://www.luddington.org/galleries/

Not sure why. I think it did work before the last update.

Thanks Karen

Hi,

you need to create base pages for events and galleries. Please read the whole documentation.
