Hi! My map view has stopped working. I have updated the google API and I have associated billing with google and can find no error. Do you know of any known errors? An example is here: http://loerslev.dk/directory-category/pasningsordning/

I bought this theme in 2017 but when making updates to website this past year the WPBaker block builder element is not working. this came with the theme not something i purchased separately. do you have to pay every year to keep this feature?

Hi,

make sure to update WPBakery to its latest version. You should also update the theme itself.

You do not have to pay for anything, but the assistance is provided only to customers with the active support. It is up to you if you want to figure the issue yourself, or pay for support and let me take a look at it. All themes on ThemeForest come with lifetime updates regardless of your support status.

Thanks I thought needed to pay to update it. All sorted now thanks. : – )

I am about the work on a 10 pages informational site that help unprivileged people get assistance in finding apartments. I want to use this theme as one of the required functions is to have a forum page. but only logged in members should be able to see forum posts. I see have style the forum page already to match the theme. I am not a big coder and will be relying a your great customer service. I know enough so don’t have to alway spoon feed me but quick responses in the process with be great. the deadline is 31, Dec, 2019. Do you think things go smoothly with this deadline?

Hi,

I am sorry, but it is impossible for me to say if you will be able to pull it off. I don’t know how experienced are you and the scale of the site. This is the question only you can answer. But if you have experience with WordPress and you know what you are doing, then it should be very quick. Make sure to read through the documentation for better understanding of how things work “under the hood”.

As for the forum, it is created using the bbPress plugin. So if you need stuff like visibility for members only, you will have to use some additional plugin like this or try to find something similar.

Is it possible to add a fifth language in the secondary main menu

Hi,

not without custom coding, but I can add this option in the future update. I though that four would be more than enough, but I can make it five.

Love this theme. I would like to add a pop-up (via 3rd party plugin – CM Pop-ups for Wordpress) to the Directory Page. The pop-up editor does not include the Directory in the list of pages of my website. Where should I add the following code to have it appear on the Directory Page when people click on it?

Code: \\

Page I want to add it to: http://eastberlin.us/directory/

Hi,

I am sorry, but you will have to contact me using an account with which you have purchased the theme to get help.

Hello I have bought Pressville as it was mentioned it was compatible with Elementor. Purchase code: 59ebddcf-0020-4e1b-af70-c8a2ce6469e4 Now I notice that you cannot mix normal widgets with elementor widgets. When I edit a page with Gutenberg the Elementor parts are damaged and when I edit with Elementor, the blocks edited with Gutenberg are deleted. Is this nirmal behaviour or am I doing something wrong? If it’s normal, I would like to know how to create a bloc to display “Related content” => You could also be interested in this. Best regards Yves

Hi,

as long as I am aware you can’t mix Gutenberg with Elementor. Just switch to a default theme like Twenty Nineteen and test it there.

As fo the related content block, are you referring to some existing block in the Gutenberg or Elementor? I mean if the block is not available in the editor of your choice then the only solution would be to use some 3rd party plugin to install an alternative. I mean none of this has anything to do with the theme.

Hi there! Our users reported an issue regarding the uploads of images. They upload an image to their website via Wordpress. The image is then displayed blurry in the preview of the image and the quality looks bad. After opening the image, it is displayed in good quality. Is there a way to prevent the pictures from appearing blurry as a preview? We are looking forward to your answer!

Thank you.

Hi,

have you set your media settings as per the documentation?

Bug report: Weather widget shows inaccurate units for Imperial measurements. I have it on the homepage, and on “Today” it shows m/h, but for the subsequent 3 days it shows m/s. It would also look better if there was a space. Example, instead of 9m/h, use 9 mph (since in the US – one of the last countries to use Imperial – we tend to use “mph”instead of “m/h”).

Hi,

there seems to be a bug indeed, I will fix it in the next update. And thanks for feedback about mph vs m/h, will change it in the next update as well.

Lubos

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that I am currently working on a new update, but I am not really sure about this “m/h” vs “mph” thing. I am getting my data from https://openweathermap.org and they are also using the “m/h” unit there. You are also the first buyer who mentioned this and I have a lot of US buyers (I use the same widget for my TownPress theme as well). I mean if you really want to change it to “mph” you can do that via translation file, just let me know and I will explain how. But for now, I will keep it on “m/h”. I will fix the bug with forecast displaing the “m/s” instead of “m/h” and will add a space before the unit though.

Hi,

I would like a refund for the theme we purchased.

It is just not the theme i was looking for.

Thank you

Hi,

if you haven’t purchased it more than a 30 days ago, then send me a PM.

is there a way to change the background color of the main nav bar? I tried adding background color to .header-menu-primary and .lsvr-container, they change background colors of other parts of the site not the main nav… Also, People page when viewing from iphone and if you turn phone to horizontal position, one of the blocks show blank space..looks like an error..

thanks.

Please share your URL where I can see the issue.

do you have an email i can share the link?

Hello!

I would like to know the answer to a few questions.

1. How can I change the column width in the post text? By default, if 2 columns are added to the post text, then the width of both columns will be 50%. How to make the first column one-third of the width and the second column two-thirds of the width?

2. How can I make the text in articles 100% wide if I do not use the sidebar? Now there is a large empty space in posts, in the description of places and in notes to the left and to the right of the text block, if there is no sidebar. It does not look very attractive.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

1.) are you referring to the columns in a block editor (Gutenberg)? If so, I am not really sure if that is possible without some 3rd party plugin. Check out this article.

2.) Please share your URL where I can see it.

Is there a way to add a page title and some general text on the People page? I want to name it About and have couple lines of text so it’s not just a catalog of names with no context..

i hid the code lines as you suggested, including line 7. Deleted the text under Customize ->People and wrote functions for a page and title. Took a while but works now. Could you advise re: header background img height? Thanks for your quick replies.

You can use the following code to pull the text from the Appearance / Customize / People / Page title field:

<?php echo esc_html( get_theme_mod( 'lsvr_person_archive_title' ) ); ?>

Ad header: I’ve already gave you code for it and you said it works. The thing is that you can’t change just the image size, because it is a background image, you need to change the height of the whole header. Anyway, here is the code again, just change the value as needed:

.header-titlebar { min-height: 140px; }

The page title issue is solved with the workaround I mentioned. Yes, I understand re: header img. I mean that .header-titlebar { min-height: 140px; } only seems to change the height for the home page and not other pages. Clicking the other pages reverts back to original height. I’ll look into it further..thank you.

Hi,

I just made a fresh installation of the presville theme. I installed all LSVR plugins and imported the demo (all 3 parts). The front end looks just fine (apart from the facts that images are missing). What i would like to know is how to edit pages with existing content from the demo. All i can see in the source code is something like below:

<!- wp:lsvr-pressville-toolkit/posts {layout} /->

<!- wp:lsvr-pressville-toolkit/sitemap {menu_id“} /->

<!- wp:lsvr-pressville-toolkit/events {title} /->

<!- wp:lsvr-pressville-toolkit/sidebar {sidebar_id} /->

I had the Classic Editor plugin enabled, which was probably not allowing Gutenberg editor ON.

I de-activated it and noticed that the blocks were showing OK. I am not feeling comfortable with Gutenber though. Is there any way to view/edit existing demo content using WP Bakery?

Even after i install WP Bakery Composer (from your plugins folder), the demo data are not transformed into VC Addons.

Only when i add new Pressville addons/elements to a page/post, they are shown as normal VC elements.

so i really hope there is a different way to overcome this issue.

Thank you

Hi,

the demo content was created using the Gutenberg editor so it is no possible to edit it with other editors. You can find the old demo data created using the WPBakery in the full package / Legacy / VC demo data folder, but they were created a while ago so I can’t really guarantee they will still work. You can give it a shot though.

The documentation also contains a tutorial on how to create a demo front page from the scratch. While it is done also via Gutenberg, all the elements and their options are also available in Elementor and WPBakery Page Builder, so you can still pretty much follow it.

Also, my professional advice is to not to import demo content at all (as mentioned in the documentation). You are basically bloating your installation with a dummy content you will eventually want to get rid off anyway. It makes more sense to actually learn working with this theme and built all the pages in the exact way you want them. But it is up to you of course, just something to consider.

Lubos

Hello again, and thank you in advance again.

I am working on Events page, re-creating your demo’s “Timeline Archive” view.

I am unable to force my Events page to display in “Timeline”or anything other than Grid. Also …. it doesn’t display the filter line, even tho it is checked in Appearance / Customize / Events.

Have inserted Pressville Events block (Gutenberg). Have changed settings in Customize.

https://pleasanton2.linncocreative.com/community/events/

Thank you so much, Suzanne

Hi,

this option is available only for the default archive page, check this out. Appearance / Customize options are only for archive and detail pages. Standard pages created using blocks are a separate entity. I mean the blocks themselves have their own options.

Lubos

BTW, all post types have their archive page. There is really no point of creating a standard pages with blocks for list of events / listings / people etc. Please read the documentation, it is mentioned there. This is the basic WordPress functionality. I mean it works the same for standard posts (blog) with the only difference that you are supposed to create a blank standard page for that. But there is no need to do that for other post types.

Good morning, we bought your pressville template with a year of support. Sorry to bother you, but I can’t see the events in the template home, I’m probably doing something incorrectly. Can I send you my username and password for review in wp-admin? Thank you,

Hi,

please share your URL first. Have you imported the demo content? If so, you need to go to Tools / Regen. Events and hit the button. Also, do you see any events on yoursite.com/events URL?

Feel free to use PM if you what o keep your URL private.

Lubos

Do you have a quick start available for this template?

Hi,

you mean like demo import? Have you read through the documentation?

Lubos

Hey. First off, thanks for all of your help thus far. I have three questions..

1. How to I adjust the scale of the header image? On the homepage I’m trying to get the full image I upload to show. No matter the size of the image I upload, it keeps getting cropped.

2.How to I get the header image on my sub pages to be the same size as the header image on the homepage?

3. Is the a way to change the language buttons (EN DE ES) on secondary header menu into social media icons similar to the ones in the footer?

This is a link to the staging site:

http://q13.adf.myftpupload.com/

Hi,

1.) It will always get cropped, that is the nature of fullwidth background images on responsive sites. Just try to resize your browser window and you will understand what I mean. Anyway, you can still try to get best of the image by uploading it with a proper aspect ratio. For example, my demo background image is 2000×600px. You can also change the image vertical align under Appearance / Customize / Header.

2.) Go to Appearance / Customize / Header and disable “Enable Large Header On Home” option.

3.) Not without some advanced code customization. I mean it is not about changing languages to social links. The proper way to do that would be to disable languages and custom code list of social links there. The fact that there are currently languages does not play much role in this. Anyway, since customization is not included in the support, you will have to hire a developer for that. Just make sure to do it via a child theme.

Lubos

Thanks for the help. Is there a way to remove the language buttons from the header?

Under Appearance / Customize / Languages choose Disable.

Hello, I’m trying to re-create Demo1’s Sitemap block. My Pressville is v. 1.10.0 and Support is current.

I have created a 2-dimensional menu looking just like Step 1 in documentation. I have inserted a sitemap block using Gutenburg.

1. My block settings do not match documentation step 13. There is no Background image setting. (I really want that background image feature.)

2. I have ‘no. of columns’ set to 3, yet the menu displays in a one-dimensional display. It’s a single column with indented second level items.

https://pleasanton2.linncocreative.com

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I’ve checked your code and you are using “TownPress Sitemap” block instead of “Pressville Sitemap” one. I assume you were using a TownPress theme on that installation and still have the LSVR TownPress Theme Toolkit plugin installed and active. In that case deactivate it and insert a proper block in Gutenberg.

Lubos

You are right. I started the site in TownPress then bought this lovely Pressville theme. Thank you so much, and sorry to be a bother.

No problem! Just make sure to deactivate (and if you do not plan to use TownPress then even remove) the LSVR TownPress Theme Toolkit plugin to avoid any conflicts.

How do I show just future events with the most recent one at the top. http://purleybid.co.uk/events-offers/ I see in your support that you can show old events /events/?period=past&order=desc but this is default any way. Also is there a setting I can use rater that passing the string in the URL Thanks

Thanks, will check and get back to you, thanks

Hi I have updated theme to 1.10.0, cleared the cache and still showing the oldest events. Any other ideas

Hi, I did a better look at your site and I got it. You are setting your events wrong. For example this event. You set its start to June 9, 2019 and end to July 19, 2020. This is obviously not right. You are probably confusing the length of a single occurrence with how often it is supposed to repeat. The start and end date fields are meant to be just for a SINGLE occurrence for an event (usually the next one at the time of creating the particular event post). I suppose that this single event is not a year long, right? It is just one night every Sunday. The “Repeat Until” field is the one which should be used to set how long will the occurrences last.
