Hi I just did an install of the main theme as per your instruction and got an anti-virus alter back from the hosting company as follows: -
A few minutes ago, our antivirus scanner detected that a malicious file was uploaded to your webspace.
The file can be found in your webspace at the following location:
~/app769270493/wp-content/themes/pressville/inc/plugins/lsvr-directory.zip
Could you please advise – Thank you
Hi,
most likely a false positive. I am pretty sure there is no malware in that file (or any other file which comes with the theme). I mean you are the first buyer even reporting something like that. Feel free to unzip that .zip file yourself and you will see only bunch of .php files inside.
Anyway, feel free to get in touch with your hosting company to ask them for more details, I am curious on why did they flagged it.
Lubos
That is what I have assumed but I thought I should flag this to you – Thanks
I’ve just noticed you’ve been using the theme for several months, so if you didn’t had this issue before then it must be something on your hosting end.
Yes but this is a new install on my second licence to another site
The other site has flagged the same problem. The host is 1&1 IONOS > Has anyone else reported an issue? The download was from today. I overcame the problem by installing the plugins individually. Are you able to do a virus scan to see if you have the same issue? – Thanks
Nobody reported anything like that. Again, if it was not problem months ago when you installed it for the first time, then it doesn’t make any sense that it is being reported now. Your hosting must have changed something on their end. Try to reach to them and ask them what exactly is the problem with that file.
I mean this file being malicious is an utter nonsense. It is not some sort of a 3rd party plugin or something, it is my own plugin and every single file in that zip was created by me, so I know that it is clean. If they detected some sort of security hole in the code, then I would love to hear about that.
Also, if you were able to install the LSVR Directory plugin separately, without any malware detection then that’s the proof the file is clean. That .zip is just zipped LSVR Directory plugin folder, nothing else. Again, it doesn’t make any sense. Please get in touch with your hosting company for more info.
Yes I’ve scanned the files my self without Issue, it will be a detection issue at the host end. It is reporting on the latest update of the Theme. I have asked them what is going on as initially it stopped me using the site. It has also come as wordpress has been updated on their servers. I wish they would state the exact threat detected which would be much easier to confirm. Thanks for your help this is frustrating for both of us.
The problem is when I install or update the theme the system at 1&1 limits the access to the included plugin zip files so when I go to update 4 of the plugins wordpress cannot open the zip file. However, if I then delete the plugin and upload the individual plugin zip manually it installs fine.
Yes I agree I am trying to get in touch with them and will advise of any issues
Well, then this is obviously a problem on your hosting end. Nobody else is reporting any issues when installing bundled plugins and I have the same system in place for all of my themes. Actually, the script which handles installation of bundled plugins is a mandatory script which all ThemeForest WP authors have to use in their themes. Also, all of my plugins are like super small in size, not a single one is bigger than 100kB (just compare it to popular premium plugins like WPBakery Page Builder which has several MBs), so that can’t be an issue either. All in all, wait for their reply and maybe start considering switching to a different hosting (or just update plugins via FTP, if that is the only issue with them).
I have finished talking to them on the phone and they have confirmed a false positive detection on the embedded zip files. There system is automatically disabling some of the embedded zip plugins. They can detect nothing malicious. So I have to get around this by individual plugin install and not from the overall package or upload the unzipped files.
Thanks for your help. I wish they would be clearer about the threat detected (or not detected in this case)
You can download and unzip the full package, go to Plugins folder, unzip all of the plugins and copy all their folders at once into wp-content/plugins via FTP.
What your hosting is doing is not standard, so I would definitely consider migrating to something better in the future.
Hi Thank you for a nice theme. I see the theme does not come with a page builder, can one get a page builder? Can one display the team at the bottom of another page? I want my people page code: https://www.keetmanshoopmunicipality.org.na/people/ to display at the bottom of my about us page: https://www.keetmanshoopmunicipality.org.na/about-us/ is that possible?
Hi,
the theme does come with a page builder – WPBakery Page Builder. You can find it in the full package in the Plugins folder as mentioned in the documentation. However, the theme also supports the Gutenberg block editor which is the recommended page builder. So unless you have some reasons not to use the Gutenberg, I would definitely use it over WPBakery.
Anyway, the LSVR People widget is available in both page builders. However, this widget displays person posts only vertically, so you will need to add some custom CSS if you want to display them horizontally. Alternatively, you can use several LSVR Featured Person widgets (one per a single person) across multiple columns.

Hi, Is there a way for users to add events via the frontend? Thank you
Hi,
unfortunately, there is no such feature.
Lubos
There are no events ! give me this error in home page why ?
Hi,
can you please be more descriptive? Are you talking about the imported demo events? If so, have you regenerated those events after the import under Tools / Regen. Events? Have you read through the whole documentation?
Lubos
Yes i m read all documentations
So did you regenerated the events under Tools / Regen. Events after the demo import?
Also, how do i control the width of columns.
Hi,
in what context? You mean like general theme’s grid column widths? Because you will have to write you own custom CSS to do that. However if you mean like sidebar / content area width ratio then you can copy template-parts/main-begin.php and template-parts/main-end.php files to your child theme and change the classes.
Lubos
Just bought pressvile. Want to use secondary (top) menu to display text (address, telephone number) rather than a menu. What php files need editing, please? And should this be done in the child theme?? Thanks Steve
Hi,
copy the template-parts/header/topbar.php to your child theme and edit it there (preserve the folder structure). Every change like that has to be done via a child theme. Never change any of the parent’s theme files if you want to be able to update the theme in the future.
Lubos
I am unclear as to change to make. Any change to the file seems to wipe out all the content. site is: newlightcongregation.pairsites.com. can you provide specific edits. Appreciate. Great theme.
Editing the topbar.php file certainly shouldn’t affect the rest of the page at all (assuming you don’t make any code errors in the file of course). Basically you just need to remove line 1 and 37 (first one and last one), replace lines 17 to 18 with your own code and style it with some CSS to make it look good. Please note that customization is not included in the support, so if you need more assistance with this, please consider hiring a developer. BTW, your URL doesn’t work (it redirects to pair.com).
Hi,
Can you help me translation the theme for the Spanish, English and Portuguese languages?
thanks
The tutorial I have read and understand, You have the files in Spanish, English and Portuguese??
The English is the main language of the theme, so no English translation is needed. I do not have Spanish or Portuguese translations, you have to create them yourself.
hi, ...is it possible that’s owner of listings (pressville directory plugin and pressville people plugin) can login and manage your listings self? any idea? woocommerce account or 3rd plugin? thanks
Hi,
maybe via some 3rd party plugin, but I haven’t tried it myself so can’t recommend anything specific.
Lubos
Hello I bought your template
I need some help .
this is my skype id : uni.auto.gga
I need to edit my theme in Romanian. what demo thema to import and how do I edit it with a webpage builder?
You mean to translate the theme? Read this. But the language has nothing to do with the demo import nor the page builder. Please read the whole documentation to learn how to deal with those things.
hi Can we add a members area to this theme. So certain content is only viewable to members?
Thanks
Hi,
something like that would require a 3rd party plugin.
Lubos
Where can I edit the color of the navigation bar?
Hi,
if you want to edit just that single color, you should use a custom CSS like this:
.header-navbar { background-color: #FF0000; }
There is a tutorial on how to create a custom color skin which allows you to change any color.
Lubos
Thank you!
We purchased the Pressville theme but are hoping that it would be possible to Randomize the listings in the Directory block as well as the Widgets so as not to show favoritism to any specific place or business when displaying on the site.
Hi,
randomization is currently possible only for the “Featured” widgets, but I guess I can add this feature to more elements in the next update. Sounds like a good idea.
Lubos
Any idea when the next update would be? I’d really love this feature!
Next month. I don’t have more specific ETA at the moment.
Thank you. we are very much looking forward to it.
Good morning, how can you sort the categories of documents?, By entry order, by date, manually sort them …
The documents if we know how to order them, but the categories do not.
Thank you
From what I see, now it is in alphabetical or numerical order, can it be changed?
Hello, thank you very much, the plugin is very good, but it does not work in the categories of the documents, they follow in alphabetical order ….
Do you know another way to sort the categories?
Thank you
Are you talking about the attachments order, posts order or categories order? Please share your URL so I can see what exactly do you mean.
Hi there! Our users often upload large images. In your theme, these images are sometimes displayed in full size, which leads to long loading times. This includes, for example, the single post page or the large header images. Since we don’t really want our users to care about it – do you plan to optimize the image usage in the future (e.g. no full featured image on a single page)? Otherwise we would have to adapt these files in our child theme, which could cause problems with updates. We are looking forward to your answer!
Thx Steffen
Hi,
I am pretty sure there are 3rd party plugins you can use for that, for example check out this one. This is simply not a feature the theme itself should be taking care of.

Hi
I get the following error when I want to use the Envato Market Plugin.
The OAuth Personal Token could not be verified. Please check that the Token has been entered correctly and has the minimum required permissions.
I did copy the Item Purchase Code: ccd57038-d088-4e53-9cbd-dd6c38690fe1
Please assist
Best Regards Theresa
Hi,
the OAuth Personal Token and the Purchase Code are two different things. Please read here how to setup the Envato Market plugin.

What should the proper API string look like to get the OpenWeather widget to work? I have tried all the strings on their website with a couple active keys and it’s not working for me. Thanks in advance for the info!
Hi,
you need to register and you should see the API key in your account, there will be just one (unless you’ve created more).
Lubos
Thank you for your response. I did have an active API key, what I was having a problem figuring out was what was needed to be put into “Appearance/Misc” area.
I figured it out, I needed to add “https://” to what I had there to make it work. I just had from the api.openweather…
https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Stockton,us&appid=[MY_API_KEY]Not really, you are supposed to put just the API key there, not an URL. I mean it literally says “Please insert your API key…” in the field description.
Well it wasn’t working when I put in just the API key and it worked when I put in the whole address string for a minute but now that isn’t working either.
I have no idea now…here are some screen captures (not worried about showing API because I can just create a new one if I get this to work)
Here is the info from openweathermap.org: http://stocktonmiraclemile.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/api.png Here is where I copy/paste it into the Appearance/Customize/Misc area: http://stocktonmiraclemile.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/api2.png Here is what is showing on my website (http://stocktonmiraclemile.com/documents/ in right column: http://stocktonmiraclemile.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/api3.pngPlease let me know what I am doing wrong, thanks again for your assistance!
I don’t think the problem is with the API key (and putting a full URL into that field is definitely not a solution) that looks fine. Try to use latitude and longitude parameters instead, or some generic address like “New York, US” just to test it out. Also, set the “Update Interval” in the widget settings to “On each page load” while you debug it.
But if it worked for a while then maybe it is just some sort of caching issue, so try to refresh the cache or temporarily disable the caching.
Ok, thanks!
Hi, we would like to install a builder (WP bakery). Could you help us please ? Many thanks
We’re trying to integrate a plug-in called Max MegaMenu. When we turn this on, the menu ends up cramped and small. Have you had any experience with this plugin? Do you have any suggestions for integration with the theme?
Hi,
I do not have any experience with this plugin, but any plugin like that would most likely need at least some CSS customization to work correctly. Plugins like those are aimed primarily at basic themes with very simple styling.
Lubos
Good Morning! Quick question for you. We don’t have a site title or tag line on the home page but the header image is still larger on that page then all the rest of the site. How can we get it to where it is the same as all the other pages (little bit shorter)? Thanks in advance!
See staged site here: http://z4z.b33.myftpupload.com
Hi,
I will add an option to disable it in the next update, meanwhile, use this CSS:
.header-titlebar--large { padding-top: 40px; }
.header-titlebar--large.header-titlebar--has-topbar { padding-bottom: 80px; }
Lubos
Thanks!!! Amazing, you’re the best!

Hi,
are you using the latest version of the theme (1.7.3)? If yes, then please share your URL with the map.
Lubos

Are you using the latest version of the theme (1.7.3)? have you added your Google API key under Appearance / Customize / Google Maps?
