is there a way for me to receive theme update notification automatically in WP backend and update from there?
Hi,
you can use Envato Market plugin for that. It actually came with the theme, so if you haven’t skipped its installation, you should already have it.
Lubos
it is activated, says theme is up to date but it’s previous version. can i download and manually upload? im using a child theme, can i just update the parent or do i need to reinstall a child theme also?
im also working on a mega menu, is there a way to set the headers without it linking to any page? for now, im just creating custom links under menu and not linking to any page..is there a more proper way to do this? (for ex, 4 pages listed under header About, About doesnt have a page). How do I get/create my menu to look like the Mega menu in demo, as vertical submenu items under headers?
You should update only the parent theme. You can do it manually as well.
Ad menu: just use custom link with # symbol instead of an URL. That’s basically a standard way to do a dummy link.
great, thanks. Regards to menu headers for submenu items, been using # was wondering if there was more proper way. how can i get the UI to look like the demo megamenu?
Please read this http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#menus-megamenu
Good Day,
I just purchased your theme. How do i install it with the Demo page you have?
Hi,
here is the tutorial on that, however, please read the whole documentation, not just this one chapter http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#demo-import
Lubos
I have been following it but the page and links is not like the demo
How do you do the News Slider in the Customize in wordpress?
Please help. whenever I upload the downloaded ZIP file it says that there is no “style.css”
1.) please share your URL so I can see it
2.) news slider on the demo homepage was created using the Pressville Posts block. That has nothing to do with the Customizer. Homepage is a regular page built using the block editor / page builder.
3.) You are uploading the wrong file, please follow this tutorial http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#installation-and-setup But it seems you’ve already installed the theme, why are you trying to install it again?
Ad homepage: please check out this tutorial on how demo homepage was created to learn how it works http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#front-page
Good Day, thanks for your help. I was able to read your manual and learned how to do it.
Anyway I have a new question. How do I add the Contact Us Page and the Forum Page that was in the Mega Menu in the Demo to the Main Menu? Cant seem to find it in the Customize Menu in the Wordpress Front End
If you haven’t imported the demo content, then the easiest way is to just import the demo pages. Please read this http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#demo-import-manual import just the pages.xml file. The contact form was created using the Contact Form 7 plugin, please read this http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#how-to-setup-contact-form
Forum was created using the bbPress plugin.
I did not import the demo content anymore since there is always a problem with it and just followed your instruction manual. Thank you I will try this first.
How about the News Menu archive, where can I find that? cant seem to see it in the Menu options in customize
One more thing the “Document” name in the Menu, can it be changed to “Services”?
Well, if you’ve share your URL after you’ve imported the demo content I would be able to help you with it. The demo import works fine, but it won’t make your site look like the demo 1:1, there are more steps required to that. Have you did all the things in the After Demo Import chapter of the documentation? http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#demo-import-after
What exactly about news menu? I am sorry but you have to be much more specific with your questions. News are regular WordPress posts, that is not a theme-specific functionality.
Everything in the menu can be changed, just edit that menu under Appearance / Menus. If you are looking to change the documents page title to something else, you can do that under Appearance / Customize / Documents.
Can i change the link of the More News button on the front page? I think the post archive page was not included when i uploaded your theme. This is also regarding the News Menu.
I am sorry but, I cannot give you the URL as of the moment since i am still in offline mode. Followed also all post steps of your document.
News archive page is automatically generated, it is not a regular page. I mean you need to create a blank page first and then assign it under Settings / Reading as page for posts (and I am certain that blank page was included in the demo data, bug again, even if not, creating this page takes like four clicks). Your news will be displayed on that page automatically on your front end.
With all due respect but this is a basic WordPress stuff, if you are new to WordPress then please read through some beginner tutorials first as the theme support covers only theme-specific things. You need some basic WordPress experience to work with this theme (and with any other theme). https://wordpress.org/support/article/creating-a-static-front-page/
Is this easily uploadable in a wordpress website?
Hi,
this is a WordPress theme, so it works with the WordPress only.
Lubos
Also regarding the document control. Is it easily categorize where i upload the document in its specific category?
It works the same as categories for regular posts. Just create/choose the category in the right panel when editing a document post.
Good Day,
We are looking to buy this theme, i just have a few questions:
1. In the home page, can the name of the and its top 4 choices “event types”, Town Council”, etc… be changed or added?. Or can i have multiple Documents Page? I am thinking of separating documents from three departments
2. For the events, instead of recurring event. Is there a way that they can click “Join now” and register their names?
3. For the people details page, can we add more pictures inside?
Hi,
1.) of course, that is just a basic menu, you can edit it. You can even have multiple sections like that. The demo home page is just an example, it is not set in stone, you can have a very different homepage if you want. You can categorize documents as seen on the demo, but you can’t have more than one document archive page.
2.) unfortunately, that is not possible. However, not sure what exact functionality you mean by “Join now”, but you can use some 3rd party plugin to insert subscription form or some form of registration on any event detail page. It is the same like for regular posts/pages.
3.) Again, person post detail pages works almost the same as regular posts/pages. You can insert almost anything there. For example, if you plan to use standard WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), then there is a built-in gallery block editor you can use for that.
Lubos
For number 2.) we need people to register in the events that we posted using your LSVR Events plugin. Can the “Registrations for The Events Calendar” plugin be incorporated with your plugin?
That’s not possible. However, you do not have to use the built-in events functionality and can use a 3rd party one instead, like The Events Calendar for example. The built in events are meant to be very basic and provide only the essential features, if you need something more advanced then go with some premium 3rd party plugin.
Hello, I know you can view past events in its own page with the url. BUT is there a way to view past events in the block editor to put onto the homepage?
Hi,
that is unfortunately not possible.
Lubos
I copied your code and added it to additional styles, but nothing has changed…..
Try this CSS instead. If it still won’t work, then please share your URL where I can see it:
body .lsvr_person-list-widget__item--has-thumb { padding: 0; min-height: 0; }
body .lsvr_person-list-widget__item-thumb { display: none; }
There are no LSVR People widgets on that page. That is a person detail page. If you want to hide a thumbnail there use this CSS code:
.lsvr_person-post-single .post__header--has-thumb { padding: 0; min-height: auto; }
.lsvr_person-post-single .post__thumbnail { display: none; }
Hello! Please tell me why when uploading to documents, the uploaded file does not show the first word in the url name?
Hi,
URLs are created by WordPress, the theme have no power over that. Hard to tell what can be the cause.
Lubos
Thank you very much.
Hello! Another question, the weather widget does not display icons, only one cloud-snow, tell me how you can fix it. Thanks.
Please share your URL where I can see it.
You are using some kind of 3rd party icons library which is overriding default icons CSS (ekiticons.css is causing it).
Strange, why so, one picture takes from one place, other from another,no settings, except for the key, I did not do…
Those are not regular images. Those are SVG icons defined via CSS. That 3rd party icons library is loaded from the elementskit plugin. The bottom line is that this is not a theme’s fault so there is nothing I can do with it.
The thing is that those icons shouldn’t be missing, they should be replaced by icons from that plugin. But I can’t tell you why it is not the case.
thank you very much
You can try this CSS to override that plugin’s CSS:
body .icon-cloud:before {
content: "\e962";
}
body .icon-cloud-sun:before {
content: "\e963";
}
body .icon-cloud-fog:before {
content: "\e964";
}
body .icon-cloud-rain:before {
content: "\e965";
}
body .icon-cloud-snow:before {
content: "\e966";
}
body .icon-cloud-lightning:before {
content: "\e967";
}
body .icon-sun:before {
content: "\e968";
}
And where should I insert this code?
Under Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS
Thanks!
Thanks, it worked!
How do you hide people images in LSVR people widget?
Hi,
you can use this CSS:
.lsvr_person-list-widget__item--has-thumb { padding: 0; min-height: 0; }
.lsvr_person-list-widget__item-thumb { display: none; }
Lubos
Здравствуйте! Подскажите,пожалуйста, где можно изменить шаблон странички Person?
Hi,
I am sorry, but you will have to use English if you need my assistance. I do not speak Russian.
Lubos
Excuse me! Hello! Please tell me where you can change the template page Person? http://wangle.ru/people/didichenko/ .This is an example, I want to add a widget to the width, remove the margins from the edge.Now it is located in the middle….Thank you in advance.
You can edit the people archive options under Appearance / Customize / People.
Did you write about the archive,and I’m talking about a separate entry Person
Person detail page options can be edited under Appearance / Customize / People as well, just scroll down to see those particular options.
is there a way to display upcoming and past events under separate headers on the same page? For example, similar to this: https://www.brookings.edu/events/
Hi,
I am sorry, but that is not possible without some heavy custom coding.
Lubos
ah i see, is there an easier option if they were two separate pages – 1. current/upcoming events and 2.past events?
thanks exactly what i was looking for. is there a way to change the page titles accordingly so one page says “Upcoming Events” and other “Past Events”? Right now, both pages show “Events”
That is unfortunately not possible. It is still the same page technically.
I see..is there a way to change the title “Events” to “Upcoming/Past Events” then?
You can rename it under Appearance / Customize / Events.
thanks. unfortunately won’t suffice to have same title for upcoming and past events for client..looking for workarounds, possibly another theme.
Well, everything can be custom coded. I don’t really see how completely switching a theme would be any easier than paying few bucks to a developer who will be able to implement different title for past events (this particular customization can’t take more than hour to any competent dev). Unless you are generally not happy with theme of course and having more issues then this one
The thing is that I can’t do this customization for you, since customizatin is not included in the support. But I can give you at least some hints though: You can use “lsvr_pressville_main_header_title” hook to override the title. Basically, you just need to check if you are on the event archive page and if the period=past argument is in the current GET variable. Again, very basic stuff for a competent WP developer, so if you decide to hire one, make sure to share this hint with him.
yes, been trying to figure out/find dev help was given this code to try:
add_filter( ‘get_the_archive_title’, function( $title ) {if( is_post_type_archive() && get_queried_object()->name 'event' ) {if( isset($_GET['period'] && $_GET['period'] ‘past’ ) {$title = ‘Past Events’;} else {$title = ‘Upcoming Events’;}} return $title;}, 10 ); but blanks the page, tried diff replacemts,etc.
unfortunately on tight deadline with this becoming an unexpected issue. devs ive contacted not avail at this time. trying to find workaround without switching themes, thanks.
Well, good try, but the code is wrong and it contains errors, that’s why it blanks your page. It looks like some general piece of code from some online forum without taking specifics of the theme into account.
Put this code into your child theme after “Add your code after this comment” comment:
add_filter( 'lsvr_pressville_main_header_title', 'nykdesign_event_archive_past_title', 20 );
if ( ! function_exists( 'nykdesign_event_archive_past_title' ) ) {
function nykdesign_event_archive_past_title( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive( array( 'lsvr_event' ) ) && isset( $_GET['period'] ) && 'past' === $_GET['period'] ) {
return esc_html__( 'Past Events', 'pressville-child' );
}
return $title;
}
}
add to functions.php? do i need to clear the title under Customize>Events? It’s still showing same title for both. Good to know it was a code issue..thanks
Yes, into functions.php in your child theme. You can keep the title under Customize / Events, that has nothing to do with thit code. That field will still be used for default archive title.
I’ve tested the code on my installation so I am 100% sure it will work if you add it in the correct place.
added in child’s theme functions.php:
.... /* Load editor style / add_action( ‘enqueue_block_editor_assets’, ‘lsvr_pressville_child_load_editor_assets’ ); if ( ! function_exists( ‘lsvr_pressville_child_load_editor_assets’ ) ) { function lsvr_pressville_child_load_editor_assets() {
$child_version = wp_get_theme();
$child_version = $child_version->Version;
wp_enqueue_style( 'lsvr-pressville-child-editor-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/editor-style.css', array(), $child_version );
}
}
/ Add your code after this comment */
add_filter( ‘lsvr_pressville_main_header_title’, ‘nykdesign_event_archive_past_title’, 20 ); if ( ! function_exists( ‘nykdesign_event_archive_past_title’ ) ) { function nykdesign_event_archive_past_title( $title ) { if ( is_post_type_archive( array( ‘lsvr_event’ ) ) && isset( $_GET[‘period’] ) && ‘past’ === $_GET[‘period’] ) { return esc_html__( ‘Past Events’, ‘pressville-child’ ); } return $title; } } } } ?>
template-parts/lsvr_event/archive-header.php shows code: <!
<?php if ( is_tax() && ! is_tax( ‘lsvr_event_cat’ ) ) : ?>
<?php single_term_title(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo esc_html( lsvr_pressville_get_event_archive_title() ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</header>
<!- MAIN HEADER : end ->
template-parts/lsvr_event/archive-layout-default.php shows code:
<?php // ARCHIVE HEADER
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/lsvr_event/archive-header’ );
?>
.... still shows Events as title for both /events/ and
/events/?period=past&order=desc pages. Am i missing something?
There is no such file as template-parts/lsvr_event/archive-header.php. Are you using the latest version of the theme? Do you have that file in your child theme? If yes, then it means you did some kind of code customization in the past and you need to update all your child theme template files you’ve modified to the current version as per the parent theme. The 2.0 update affected a lot of template files, please read the complete changelog for more info.
i last updated to parent version 2.0.4. yes, that was in my child theme. Just updated the parent theme to 2.0.5. was told i don’t need to update child theme at any time? will check all the child files and update, thanks.
I didn’t mean that kind of update. I meant to check your child theme template files against the parent theme ones and update each file separately if needed. However, if you’ve already updated the child theme as whole, then it means all your code customizations are gone. The good thing is that if you now put that code into your child theme’s functions.php file, it should work since there shouldn’t be any old template files interfering now.
Please note that customization is not included in the support, I highly advice you to hire a developer to put everything in place.
IT FINALLY WORKED!!! Updated the parent in WP (downloaded and uploaded thru ftp too in case), uploaded a fresh child theme, doublechecked the files and added the code you provided. been at this for hrs. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Yes, been surprisingly hard to find great WP/PHP developer available. will keep eye out. thanks again!!!
Glad you’ve sorted it out. Make sure to always keep the theme up to date. Usually you do not have to update the child theme, this was a very specific situation (you still didn’t had to update the child theme, just update/remove any possible outdated template files it contained).
yes i dont receive prompts in WP for some reason but thankfully, it didn’t affect too much customization. thanks again, very much appreciated!
You can enable update notifications via email under your ThemeForest account / Downloads.
I see it’s already checked but will keep an eye out, thanks!
after all that, client wants upcoming and past events on one page, not necessarily separated. is there a way to have all events show on the Events page? as of now past events dont show, only upcoming dates.
Just use URL like this
yorusite.com/events/?date_from=2010-01-01
great thanks!
i set the url as you recommended which works but it shows oldest post first now. is there a way to reverse the order so most recent date is first and oldest date last?
Well, if yo do not want to display future dates, just past ones you can use this URL
yoursite.com/events/?period=past&order=desc
i mean the order it is shown. i used the link you rec’d yorusite.com/events/?date_from=2010-01-01 but it is showing 2010 (oldest) first down to 2020 last. I’d like the reverse order, 2020 first on the list going down to 2019, 2018…2010 last.
Then try this:
yoursite.com/events/?date_from=2010-01-01&order=desc
Perfect! thanks!
Hi, I’m struggling to change the colour of the navigation bar sub menu background and was hoping you could provide some assistance. Here’s the link to the site in case you need it http://purleybid.co.uk/
Thank you
Hi,
use this CSS:
.header-menu-primary__item-link--level-0:after { background-color: #FF0000; box-shadow: none; }
.header-menu-primary__item--dropdown .header-menu-primary__submenu { background-color: #FF0000; border: 0; }

Hi, I’m working with Pressville theme. I did something in the Standard Post Categories and now the breadcrumbs that are just below the menu, redirect to the home instead of news. Maybe I changed something in the uncategorized category, or I removed the News category. What can I do to the breadcrumb redirect to the post category? And another question: Is it possible that the breadcrumbs are different for each post category? I mean In News Category, redirect to News, but if I create the category “History”, in a post in the “History” category, could the breadcrumb redirect to “History”?
Thank you.
Hi,
1.) Have you set your page for posts page under Settings / Reading?
2.) Not sure I understand, news always links to news. The category is not displayed in the breadcrumbs at all, unless it is a child category of some higher category (but I am not 100% sure right now if it will display in breadcrumbs even then).

Hi I’m currently configuring the pressville template, By adding an event and using LSVR Events on a recurring event, starting saturday 28 until saturday 04/01 for each saturady + sundays, I only get the first saturady 28 and the last saturady 04 but not the sunday 29. If i change and start on friday 27 I see correctly 27 + 28 +29 + 04 … Why is the sunday dissapearing ?
Hi,
are you using the latest version of the theme with all the LSVR plugins up to date? Have you set properly your timezone options under Settings / General?
Lubos
Good afternoon, I made the purchase cf818c61-3be3-4e4b-b437-5868f659e0a4 of template presville. I wanted to know what could be the problem of not being able to edit with “elementor” the home of this template. If you can indicate me I would be very grateful, Greetings, www.siguenza.es
Hi,
the demo content, which I assume you’ve imported, was made using the WordPress block editor, so it can’t be edited with any other editor (this is mentioned in the documentation). If you want to use Elementor instead, you will have to re-built that page (or any other page) from scratch. Here is the tutorial for the default homepage. Even though it also refers to the default block editor, all the mentioned elements are available in the Elementor (and even in WPBakery Page Builder) as well.
Lubos
Great theme. All of a sudden the lsvr widgets no longer appear in the editor. This block encountered an error…. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.
Hi,
please update the theme and all the bundled LSVR plugins to the latest versions.
Lubos
Hi, im using pressvile on wordpress but the LVSR blocks does not works in guttenberg editor, i see message: This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.
Hi,
please update the theme to the latest version 2.0.4 and update all the LSVR plugins as well.
Lubos
On my home page I have the following code
[lsvr_pressville_posts title=”Stay Informed” subtitle=”Announcements and Meeting Information” category=”0” more_label=”More Information” layout=”title-left” limit=”50” columns_count=”4” enable_dark_bg=”true” enable_slider=”true”]
This causes the posts to show up, however it is showing the category and date. is there a short code or CSS trick to disable the category and date from showing up?
Hi,
please share your URL where I can see it.
Lubos
for others the css fix was:
.lsvr-pressville-post-grid__post-meta { display: none; }
This developer is the best, he is super fast and helpful the few times I’ve not been able to get the site working the way I need. I really recommend to everyone to pay for the support, it’s worth it
Hello and congratulations for your great work.
After the last update I get this message “this block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed” in your blocks.
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
Hi,
have you updated the LSVR Framework plugin to 1.5.1 as well? If yes, then make sure to clear your browser cache because this issue was already addressed in 2.0.3 update.
Lubos
It seems that i hadn’ t updated the framework plugin. Thank you for your instant reply
Hi I am trying to decide between pressville and townpress.
I am just an independant person (not local government) but want to show case my town and its attractions, lodgings etc. So I think pressville might be best.
Does the Pressville have a “featured listing” in the directory? Like if someone wants their business to be shown on the front page (or advertising), I can make it as a featured item?
Thank you
Hi,
there is no featured listing functionality, but you can rearrange your listings so you can put it as first.
Lubos
Thanks 
Hi Lubos I need to setup a two language site, could you please tell which multilanguage plug-in works better with the pressville theme?
thanks
Hi,
WPML should work fine.
Lubos
Thanks again Lubos 
hello. i want like your theme. I see it is compatible with elementor. If i disable bakery vc, will it function properly? i want to have only one page editor active. thanks
Hi,
you do not have to activate WPBakery at all, it is completely optional.
Lubos
