Experiencing issues where some of the custom post types that is part of the Townpress Theme. The problem is that featured images sporadically do not load and on other posts they do. Site in question is https://george.gov.za
Hi,
that must be something with your server. For example the URL you’ve shared didn’t event worked for me, I had to add “www” before it, so maybe this has something to do with it.

Hi,
please update the theme to its latest version first. If that won’t fix the issue, try to go to Settings / Permalinks and re-save the settings. Here is how to update the theme: http://docs.lsvr.sk/townpress.wp/#how-to-update-theme

Hi there, we are wondering if we should buy this theme for our Community. But, the site is supposed to ONLY be allowed for members to see and use the content. In other words, a private Community site. Would it be easy to do here? Thank you
Hi,
this is more of a general WordPress question, as almost no theme comes with a feature like this. You will need to use some kind of a 3rd party plugin which will allow you to lock the site. Can’t recommend anything specific, but you will surely find something here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/password+protect/
You can try it with a free theme first, for example TwentyTwentyone which is prepacked with the WordPress itself. If you will make it work with that one, it should work with TownPress as well.

Hi Lubos, I’m unhappy with the way my featured image displays in the Townpress Posts widget (https://bressinghamandfersfield.org/news/). I think I have seen a support comment where you say the widget doesn’t support thumbnails. If this is the case can you give me the CSS to remove the image from the display please? Or perhaps you can suggest another way to improve the display? Thanks.
HI,
image like that (for example the latest posts) is simply not well suited to be a featured image. I can give you a CSS to remove it form that element, but that will affect all posts and IMHO, it would be better to simply remove it as a featured image and just keep it only in the content of the post.
Lubos
Thanks Lubos, I’ve gone with a Category filter on the posts instead of using the widget. It displays the featured image at pretty much the same size as uploaded.
Hi, I installed the template, but I notice is it not working properly. Even after installing and activating the WPBakery (former Visual Composer), the pages are not uploading correctly. I cannot edit anything using WPBakery. Even after following the directions on the documentation still there is no way to edit using WPBakery.
Hi,
demo data (mainly the homepages) were created using the block editor, so they can’t be edited via WPBakery. However, recreating them via WPBakery is just matter of few minutes. Please follow the tutorial on how to create front page. All the elements mentioned there are available in the WPBakery as well: http://docs.lsvr.sk/townpress.wp/#front-page

Hi Team,
I hope you can help me, I bought the Townpress template , it works fine :://www.fuzerradvany.hu/ I have an issue to create a gallery and maybe you can help me how to do this within News. Even though I added a photo gallery with Block editor and I tried with Elementor as well but the photos will not be larger when I click on them. I m not sure how to say it but they do not pop up and they look like as they would be embedded in the text. Can you please help me how to add a photo gallery to the posts? Thank you in advance.
Hi,
when in the block editor, click on gallery block and in the right sidebar settings set “Link to” to “Media file”.

Hi – I want to add the words “Read more about [the post title] on the blog archive hompage. I have done it before here: https://trottiscliffepc.co.uk/ but I want to do it on this page: https://trottiscliffepc.co.uk/news/ and also another website I have built here: https://addingtonpc.co.uk/
How do I do this please?
Hi,
not sure I understand, you’ve already have this text on posts on https://trottiscliffepc.co.uk/news/. Anyway, just put the text into the excerpt of the post, I mean, how did you do it before?.
Please note that your support is expired. Please renew it under your account / Downloads if you need any additional assistance. Thank you.
Lubos
I didn’t do this myself, it was done for me by a developer on this site, but I now have another one I want to do it on too.
Never mind, I have already spent 2 hours searching for the code but will ask on other forums instead as my support has expired as you say.
I am not sure this can be done without the code customization which is not covered by the support anyway. The easiest way is to just put the link manually into the Excerpt field I guess.
Hi, working with PresseTown using included widget, upload image button stop to work. I mean the widget LSVR Image that doesn’t open media upload anymore. Theme is updated so all other plugins. Help needed
fabio
Hi,
there is no such widget in the latest version of the theme, please use default WordPress’ “Image” widget instead.
Please note that your support is expired. You can renew it under your ThemeForest account / Downloads if you need any additional assistance. Thank you.
Lubos
BTW, if you are still seeing the “LSVR Image” widget in your admin, it means you are not using the latest version of the theme, but actually a very old one. However, do not update before you read this.
how do I increase the number of Notices that show in the widget?
Hi,
edit the LSVR Notices widget under Appearance / Widgets and change its “Limit” option.
Lubos
there’s no change limit option showing
Are you using the latest version of the theme (3.7.2)? Please share the screenshots of the widget options in the admin.
I installed the theme from the download after I purchased .. I also have auto update set .. it seems I have 3.6.9 – how do I update without losing all my content updates? Thanks
screen link https://oxfordtwpnj.org/notice-screen.png
re-downloading from Themeforest fixed the problem .. thanks !
Glad you’ve sorted it out!
Hi Lubos,
I’ve been through the comments but I can’t find what I need there.
I want to remove the categories shown under items retrieved in the Directory listings. For example, here: https://bressinghamandfersfield.org/directory-category/churches/ I need to remove display of “Churches, Services”.
Thanks!
Hi,
try this custom CSS:
.lsvr_listing-post-archive .post__info-item--category { display: none; }
Lubos
Superb – thank you!
hi,
I have just installed Townpress and it doesnt look anything like the preview image.. should it? or have I done something wrong.. the menus are all difference colours, it looks completely different
Hi,
no theme looks like the demo after the installation. You need to install the demo content. Please follow the documentation: http://docs.lsvr.sk/townpress.wp/#demo-import
Lubos
hello. I have a question regarding the arrangement of the widget navigation. thank you in advance for help and suggestions.
In the mobile view i would like to place the widget navigation between the header and the content.
Unfortunately, i had no success with the help of the z-index. >> is it possible with this?
I only had success with an unattractive possibility by means of positioning.
@media (max-width:767px){
/* Column 9/12 */
.lsvr-grid .columns__main{
top:200px;
position:relative;
}
/* Navigation */
.widget nav{
top:-1300px;
}
}
Sample Page Link https://siebleben.de/siedlerverein/
many thanks and greetings Michael.
Hi,
there is no need to overcomplicate it like that. Just go to your admin / Appearance / Menus, select your main menu you are using in the sidebar and set is as “Header Mobile Menu” at the bottom. Then go to Appearance / Widgets, edit the TownPress Menu widget and uncheck “Display On Mobile” option. See this tutorial: http://docs.lsvr.sk/townpress.wp/#menus
Please note that your support is expired. Please renew it under your ThemeForest account / Downloads if you need any further assistance. Thank you.
Lubos
Thank you for the advice. However, the change in order is needed for sub-pages. (each page different) I’ll extend support if necessary. Once again, great praise for your good work! Thank you.
Without touching the code, there is not really other option than to use positioning. Try this:
@media ( max-width:767px ) {
#main { padding-top: 220px; }
.columns__sidebar--left { position: absolute; top: 0; }
}
You should also prefix both lines with some unique identifier to target only these specific pages. You will find the page class in the BODY tag upon code examination.
Extending the support would be very appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
That helped. The various sub-pages are already marked with tags.
And the support has just been refreshed 
Best regards
Michael
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
our client / user of TownPress theme has got a problem with publishing documents. The button “Add or Upload File(s)” is not working. Configuration is: WordPress 5.3.8 / TownPress Ver: 1.3.9
Can you help? Thx JP
Hi,
that is a very outdated version of the theme. Unfortunately, updating to the latest version won’t be very easy and would require rebuilding most of the site form the scratch. You can however safely update up to the 1.6.4 which you will find in the full package in the Legacy folder.
If the update to 1.6.4 won’t fix the issue, and update to the latest version is out of question, then your only option is to hire a WP developer who can take a look at the issue and fix it with your current version.
You will have to use an account with which the theme as purchased and have a valid support if you need further assistance.
Lubos
Does the theme support woocommerce and if not are you planing to?
Hi,
there is no Woocommerce integration and I do not plan to add it since this is mainly a municipal theme.
Lubos
Hi, I have a strange problem on my website and most of the information I can find say the problem is with the theme.
The website address is shoreacrestx.us.
The problem is with forums. When someone posts a reply to a topic, the reply does not show up publicly in Chrome and Safari but does show up in Firefox. But, if a user is logged in to the website, they can see the replies in all three.
Because this is a city government website, all topics and replies must be public.
Any idea what is happening here?
David
Hi,
the forum is handled with a 3rd party plugin – bbPress, the theme should have no effect over how posts are shown. My guess is that this must be some sort of caching issue. Please try it with a different computer. Alternatively, you can temporarily switch to a different theme, like the default TwentyTwentyOne for example, and then access the forums to see if the issue persists, just to make sure if the problem is really not in the theme.
Lubos
I have a issue where are being shown around category headings for a custom post type created. Please can you investigate. I am using toolset plugin to create custom post types. Already checked with plugin developers, and they are saying that the theme us the cause. See link below:
https://ibb.co/KbMmkbdHi,
are you using the latest version of the theme? The SPAN tag should work in the heading title. Please share your URL where I can see it live.
Lubos
Staging site is notvisible to public. Let me know where I can send login details to.
When I apply the latest version of the theme, my design goes all jumbled and I lose my sidebar.
https://ibb.co/n30KG8WWhat version have you updated from?
You can use PM for private conversation.
Hi there,
The latest update added extra plugins such as events, people, galleries, directory. If I don’t use these do they need to be active or can I remove them please?
Thank you…Paul
Hi,
those are not new plugins at all (unless you’ve updated from a VERY old version). Anyway, you can of course deactivate and even remove them if you don’t need them.
Lubos
Hi Lubos, That’s odd as a message came up to install them when I last logged in. Maybe it was because I was using a new PC? Anyway thanks for letting me know. Cheers…Paul
Yes, if you dismissed that message before and you’ve logged in from a new computer then it is possible that’s why the message appeared again. Simply dismiss it again anytime it appears in the future if you do not want to install those plugins.
I’m just starting setup on a new site with the Town Press theme. I was working on the main page using Site-Origin page builder in WP. When I opened the editor and tried to start working on the page, I clicked edit in the widget and the editor page came up with a 403 error. I’m somewhat new to SOME of this, but I’ve used the page builder app for over a year and I’ve never seen this error before. I’ve also tried the WPBakery editor that came with the theme template and it gives the same results – just thought I’d throw that out there. Still no success – I cleared cache – changed firewall and security settings – no change.
403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!

When using the editor, I’ve made some simple successful changes. However, I tried to make a simple change to a page that I had already had success working on and the error returned. I was able to update the text on the title block. I was also able to change the size, bold, italics etc. However, when I tried to center the text in the box and when I tried to either update or preview the page, the error would come up. Makes absolutely no sense. Very frustrating.
Could this be a compatibility issue with the theme or something else? Did I possibly miss something during setup or installation? I’m also wondering if it could be due to a shared plan instead of a hosted plan? Using Namecheap.

Thanks. Mark
Here’s an update. I created a blank page – I added a text block – I added “this is a test” to the block – I created it and updated it previewed it and it worked fine. As soon as I tried to center the text in the box, I got the 403 error. Just an FYI.
another update – LCR justification causes the problem. If I type something and hit left justify, even though it already is, I get the error too.
Hi,
never heard about this issue to be honest. But anyway, make sure you are using the latest version of both WordPress (5.8) and the theme (3.7.1). If that won’t help, try to switch to a default theme like TwentyTwentyOne for example and disable all LSVR plugins, just to try if it will work then.
As for the builders, I haven’t tested the theme with SiteOrigin. The theme officially supports only the native WP block editor, Elementor and WP Bakery Page Builder. However, even other editors like SiteOrigins shouldn’t produce errors like the one you are describing and should work, they just won’t offer custom theme’s elements.
This sound like some very weird issue, so please try it without the TownPress and LSVR plugins and please let me know how it went.
Lubos
BTW, reading on the error 403, it certainly sounds like some kind of server issue: https://www.lifewire.com/403-forbidden-error-explained-2617989
If you could open the browser’s developer toolbar and open the console tab, you will maybe see which resource exactly fails to load, which could tell us what is causing it.
So this is what the console says – and it happens on any theme, with any page, on any text box or paragraph and only classic editor enabled – nothing else. When I opened the console on my browser, this is what I got – any thoughts?
“The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.”
Again, all I’m trying to do is center text in a paragraph.
I now know it’s not a problem with your theme, but any thoughts you have on this would really be appreciated.
Thanks Lubos.

Problem solved – I reached out to the Hosting provider and here was the response I got.
Per my check, the issue occurred because of ModSecurity. ModSecurity is an Apache module which works as a web application firewall. It blocks known exploits and provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications. However, sometimes, mod_security may incorrectly determine that a certain request is malicious, while it is actually legitimate. In such a situation, we can whitelist the triggered mod_security rule on the server, so that you can bypass the block. I will whitelist the rules and the issue should be resolved.
All good. Thanks for your assistance!
Glad you’ve solved it out!
One other question – how do I remove the links (breadcrumbs) on the Document Header – it has Home and Document links at the bottom and a dividing line too. Can that all be removed easily? – my user just wants the Category Heading to show and nothing else.
Thanks!
I removed the following from main-header.php
<?php // Breadcrumbs get_template_part( ‘template-parts/breadcrumbs’ ); ?>
It seems to have solved my issue.
Mark
That is a good solution, but make sure to do it via child theme (as any other code customization).
Hi,
you can use this custom CSS:
.main__header { background-color: #FF0000; }

Hello. I am having an issue with the Gallery section. When I click the Manage Gallery Images, I am taken to the media selection screen as expected. I select my pictures and click Select. I am then taken back to the Gallery page but none of the images have been added. I have tried selecting a single picture or multiples, logged out and back in to the site, and saved a draft and going back in to edit. Nothing lets me add the pictures. What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
are you using the latest version of the theme (3.7.0) and latest version of WordPress (5.8)? Try a different browser to see if it makes any difference.
Lubos
Yes, I am using Wordpress 5.8 and version 3.7.0 of Townpress. I had been using it in Chrome (which has worked in the past) but tried it in Edge as well. It did not work there either.
Please send me your WP admin credentials via PM and I will take a look at it.
I sent you a PM. Actually three with the needed info.
I’ve replied to you email.
