Hi,
I have an error when I try to import demo content. Can you help me please.
Hi,
please be more descriptive, what kind of error?
Lubos
If I try and change anything at all in the theme options I get the following message when I try to save “There was a problem with your action. Please try again or reload the page.”. I’ve tried it in both Firefox and Chrome and I get the same error.
Thank you, this fixed it!
HI I have a problem with color scheme. I would like to create my own color scheme I followed the documentation I am trying to create a custom colour skin via your instructions within the documentation.
I copied this code and changed the colour ref to #961315 and then copied the new code : $accent: #961315 ; // primary accent color into the Sasmeister program
but nothing happens on the righthand side. what do I am doing wrong?
Hi,
you need to copy the whole code, not just the single line you changed.

Please help me 
Hi,
as I’ve already replied to you via PM, you will have to contact me via an account with which you have purchased the theme to get support.

Hello again and apologies for another message I enquired earlier about headers etc, but the reason for my confusion is that I am unable to see the whole “theme options” section on my wordpress dashboard which I presume should be somewhere on my lefthand menu, perhaps under appearance? Any suggestions?
Hi,
yes, it should be in your main admin menu, somewhere around bottom. Have you installed and activated Redux Framework plugin?
Lubos
thank you, it was the missing plugin! I’m now all fixed!
Great!
Hello, thank you for a great theme!
Two questions…
How do I get a background image on the front page if I am running it with “latest posts”
And… how do I stop it saying “blog” before the webiste title when I am running it with latest posts on the main page?
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
1.) you can set the background image under Theme Options / Header Settings
2.) check out Theme Options / Standard Posts / Posts Base Page option
Lubos
thank you, as below missing plugin solved my issue!
Hi! I have a new problem (and I have read the documentation and follow). I have created a page for events, I published an event, but when I am on home page and I clicked on events it appears „Page not found”. Can you help me with that? Can I give you the login data to take a look (via email)?
Hi,
try to resave your permalink settings under Settings / Permalinks. If it won’t help then feel free to share your URL and credentials via PM.
Lubos
I did what you said and now it works. Thank you!
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.
Lubos
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.
