Hey,
I added some script to the custom css/js section of the Redux Framework and now all the pages in that editor section are blank.
Where is this data stored so I can manually go delete the script I added?
Thanks
Hi,
in WP options table I assume, but I don’t know the exact name of the table. Try to access yoursite.com/wp-admin/options.php. If you won’t find it there then I am afraid you will have to contact Redux Framework support.

Hello, when I try to make changes via THEME OPTIONS in the Dashboard (not the theme customizer screen), I get the following error:
“There was a problem with your action. Please try again or reload the page.”
...and it will not save the changes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was trying to edit the footer text in this specific example, but noticed the same thing when I attempted other changes through THEME OPTIONS.
As a matter of fact, any action I try under THEME OPTIONS fails to save.
Hi,
make sure you are running PHP 5.6 or higher and your PHP memory limit is set to 128MB. https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
I will be able to provide better assistance once I get back from vacation on July 5th.

Hi, I just bought your TownPress theme and installed it to my site. But unfortunately,I am not able to edit the theme options. The theme options page is inactive. How can I handle the situation? Thank you.

How do you sort the documents by a different order in the theme? Am I missing the setting somewhere?
Hi,
just change the published date of a document post, newer posts are displayed first.
You can also try Intuitive Custom Post order plugin for drag and drop reordering.

Hi there, the demo has stopped working at http://wpdemos.lsvr.sk/townpress/
Hi,
it was probably just some temporary server-side issue, everything seems to be working now. But thanks for heads up!

PRE SALES QUESTION
1. Do you have any Community Centers as clients? Can you share those with me – I’d like to see this “in use” with one.
2. Same question for non-profits
3. Have you tested this or received any user feedback on compatibility with Events Calendar plugin?
Hi,
1.) Sorry, but I do not keep records about my client’s websites. Your best bet is to browser the comments section for some URLs.
2.) Same answer:)
3.) I’ve seen few buyers to use it on their sites and I always do recommend it for anyone who need more robust events functionality. Haven’t heard any complains about using it with TownPress. However, there is no any special integration for it or anything like that.
BTW, have you checked out my newer municipality theme – Pressville? If you did and still favor Pressville, can you give me some feedback why you like it more? If you are particulalry interested in events functionality, Pressville offers much robust events management. It is obviously still not on Events Calendar level but there are recurring events, multiple archive layouts and so on. I would love to hear your feedback.
Lubos
Thanks for your quick response.
I looked at Pressville. They feel like they are working towards the same end goal – “modern municipalities” and “small to medium municipalities.” What’s the rationale for creating a second theme so closely related in functionality to your existing one?
I’d be nervous to go with Pressville – it’s too new – and comparing the two, I think everything in Pressville is already in TownPress. What is your plan for each theme in terms of direction, functionality, support?
TownPress is about two years old so it has a bit outdated code. Pressville was written from the scratch, the only thing those themes have in common is they are both focused on municipalities. The more modern code results in better customizability (for example if you want to do something more advanced involving writing some code). There are multiple layouts to choose from for most post types and all the functionality in post types was improved. For example, events in TownPress are very simple. Just a start date. But Pressville events can span multiple days and can be set to recurring events. If you are going to use Events Calendar then this may not matter to you, but similar upgrades can be seen all over the Pressville. I actually plan to raise Pressville’s price much higher compared to TownPress, I just want to get some momentum, more sales and some reviews so potential buyers will be asured that Pressville is much better theme compare to TownPress. Because it truly is.
However, I am still going to support both themes. TownPress do offers pretty unique layout which may be the main reason for some buyers to choose it over Pressville. I am actually thinking about completely rewritting TownPress to match Pressville code-wise, but it will be very hard to do it with preserving compatiblity for existing buyers so I still haven’t decided on that.
Anyway, here is the deal, you can buy both and I can refund you the one you will like less if you ask for a refund within seven days. I can even refund you both if you won’t like neither of them. So, just try for yourself and I will be happy to get some feedback, especially on Pressville.
Sorry, I asked under the wrong account. I am having trouble integrating the ubermenu pro plugin to this theme. I know it is a broad question, but do you have any tips for that plugin? It looks like the size restriction on the menu has something to do with it. I am doing local development so I cannot share a link.
Hi,
yes, I’ve already replied anyway. Unfortunately, the header menu does not support uber menu plugins. As you mentioned, those plugins usually require you to have some kind of fullwidth block which nests the menu. The header menu in TownPress doesn’t use such a design as you can see. It was intended to be just a very simple alternative to a side menu.
There surely must be a way to make uber menu work, but it will probably require some custom coding.
Lubos
Thank you, Lubos. I did some custom coding and got it to work. So far I am not finding any bad side effects. Thanks for the prompt response!

Hi,
sorry, but the header menu does not support uber menu plugins.
BTW, please us an account with which you have purchased the theme for future support queries. Thanks.

Love this Theme and we are glad we purchased it! Are you able to explain the simple.php pages to me? I would like to modify them to look a little different than just a link to the document. Thanks!
Hi,
thanks for purchase! I guess you are familiar with concept of modifying theme via child theme, but just for a record: You can copy (almost) any file from theme’s root folder into your child theme’s root folder to override it. File single.php is used for a post detail page, however the TownPress codebase is a bit dated, so instead of standard single.php there is article.php file which handles standard WordPress posts (in this case, the file handles both archive and detail page). For other post types (events, galleries, notices, etc.) there is single-POSTTYPE.php file where POSTTYPE is the name of the custom post type. For example single-lsvrevent.php for Event post type. Those files handle only the post detail page. If you want to edit the archive code you can use archive-POSTYPE.php files.
So, just copy any of those files in your child theme’s folder and start messing around with it. If you break something, simply remove the file and copy it again from parent theme’s folder. As long as you are not doing it on a live site, have fun with it:)

Hi. thank you for the theme. I have a problem with Documents plugin that came with theme. I made a new category and I also made a new page. Using Visual Composer I put “Documents” element and on “Category”, to filter document by categor, there isn’t the new category that I jave just created. Thank you
Hi,
please share your URL where I can see the element. Also let me know which category you’ve set for that element.
Lubos
Hi. Thank you for the response. there was a problem from hosting I think because now it’s working fine
Great!
can work with external file like Google drive ..Dropbox etc.etc.. if not, any chance to add this ? like select and link file from external source (not in server)
Hi,
you mean for documents, right? Yes, you can add external documents. However, do check out my newer theme – Pressville, it allows you to have both local and external document attachments and generally it offers much more functionality not only for documents.

Do you know how to fix BBpress from redirecting to the wp-signup.php with multisite when trying to register?
Thanks
Hi,
sorry, but I can’t help you with that. Don’t have any experience with it myself and it is not covered by theme support since it is a 3d party plugin.
Lubos
BBpress for the forum like on the demo not work with multisite? Try to create forum and just gives me a blank white page.
Found out the Redux Framework is what is causing it no to load.
Found that the issue was it does not work with PHP version 7.1
Hi,
correct, BBpress does not support PHP 7.1. It has nothing to do with the theme.
Lubos
Hi, this theme is really great. I have one problem – where I can translate two words in locale info widget – I mean text: Today and Local Time? Other words are translated but I have problem with this two words.
Hi,
you can find them in LSVR Toolkit plugin – in wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-townpress/widgets/locale.php (but you should obviously translate them via either POedit or some 3rd party plugin, not directly in the code, that was just for reference)
Lubos
Hi I am interested in purchasing you theme for a new project however I am new to webdesign. Is it possible to get full customization support at a cost agreed upon?
thank you
Hi,
unfortunately, I am not available for custom work, you can hire someone at studio.envato.com.

Quick question.
I moved my site from a single install to a multi-site.
I have imported database and stuff but the theme layout is not the same. Do you know where the theme layout settings are stored for the WPBakery Visual Composer
Hi,
they are stored in the page itself. When you switch to a standard text view when editing a page, you can see all the code. Feel free to share your original URL and the new one, maybe I will be able to tell what is going on.
Lubos
Labos,
What I did was export the whole site and the database from the Wordpress install. I then deleted the site and data based and installed a fresh version of wordpress multisite.
The database was different to I imported sections from the old databased to the new one. I also imported the wp-content folder from the old site.
Basically the whole site is like the old one except the way the pages were designed as far as layout, color, etc.
Long story short is there a place in the database that stores how pages and theme layout is?
Layout consist of several data. The content of the page, which is stored in page so it should be exported. The custom fields, which store some theme specific layout info, I don’t know in which DB table are they stored. Custom fields are core WP functionality, so theme does not affect how they are stored. The last thing is the page template, again it is handled via core WP functionality, again, I have no idea in which DB table are they stored. If you don’t have the old theme, can you at least share your new one? Honestly, I don’t think digging deep in WP tables is necessary when moving your site. But without seeing it live and knowing what exactly is not right, it is very hard for me to help you.
BTW, I am Lubos, not Labos.
Hi there, I believe I found a small styling bug. If you view the site in mobile view mode, then hit the button to show the menu, leave the menu open and then hit the map button – the map button will move down the page but the menu stays on top of the map, blocking the view of it etc. It should probably collapse the menu first and then slide down so the map is not blocked. Just a suggestion…
Thanks!
Hi,
you are right, thanks for feedback! I will fix it in the next update. Thanks.
Lubos
Hi, I have downloaded and installed the theme; however, I no longer see “Theme Options” to begin the demo install as the documentation indicates. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hi,
make sure Redux Framework plugin is installed and active. If you missed the notification about required plugins after you activated the theme, you can install all plugins manually, they can be found in full package in Plugins folder.

Hi There, I have a client I helped set this theme up for awhile back and they were having some problems with the updates. They received this error today “Unable to create directory uploads/2017/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” which I think I fixed by changing the media settings. I finally got the newest update to work, but skipped over a couple from May (is that ok?). The only problem is that all their widgets disappeared and I can no longer see their footer. If they do miss updating a couple times, can they just use the newest .zip file I send or do they have to go through all of them chronologically. I know on other themes you have to do it in order, but I’m not sure how yours works. Here is their site: http://www.shullsburgwisconsin.org
One more question, is it possible for them to receive the updates directly instead of through me? And is it possible to get the updates in Wordpress versus external updates?
Hi,
ad error: glad you’ve sorted it out, just a small note for the record – error like that has nothing to do with the theme, that’s entirely a WordPress matter.
ad updates: it is not possible to update in chronological order, you can update only to the latest version. But there shouldn’t be any issues when you skip several updates. However, I do recommend to check out the changelog with more info about all the changes.
ad widgets in footer: make sure widgets are assigned to Bottom Panel sidebar under Appearance / Widgets.
ad easier updates: you can use Envato Market plugin. However, it is not possible to update without using your Envato account. When you are doing a client work, it is always better to use their account for theme purchase because of this reason.

Hey I was wondering if it is possible to duplicate a section like the ‘documents’ and then have it labeled a secondary category like ‘notices’. And then show a documents and notices tab?
Hi,
sorry, but I am not sure I understand. Please be more descriptive. But it doesn’t sound like something which will be possible without some custom coding.
Lubos
So in the theme you have your ‘documents’ tab which links to external pdf’s. Then you have a widget titled ‘town notices’ that just links to posts. Is it possible to have the town notices tab work the same way as the documents tab?
Ok, you are talking about widgets, it wasn’t clear form your first message. But now I do not understand what you mean by “to have the town notices tab work the same way as the documents”. In what way you want them to behave the same? Sorry, but you really need to be more clear.
So you are asking if it is possible to add file attachments to notice posts? Sorry, but that’s not possible without some heavy custom coding. Honestly, I don’t really see a point having such functionality at all. You can just categorize your documents and use two documents widgets set to two different categories to show different sets of documents in your sidebar.
Ok thank you! I didn’t realize I could do that and didn’t think of doing that. Sorry for the confusion. Theme is great. One other question. The header is set to 2000×1200. Is it possible to change this size?
I guess you mean to change the height of the header, right? The resolution of the background image has nothing to do with that. Try this Custom CSS:
.header-content-inner { min-height: 150px; }
Just change “150” to any number you want.
