Having a strange issue where our our documents pages are only showing 1 item, even though when we edit it we can see all attachments added.

An example is https://bcvwd.org/documents/2024-board-meeting-agendas/

or

https://bcvwd.org/documents/rules-and-regulations/

For the rules and regs page for example, it is only showing 1 of 15 attachments. I am not sure if this is a php version issue or a plugin or what the issue could be.

Disregard. Issue resolved in the customize theme to show more than one post. Not sure why that changed when we updated but that appeared almost like it broke something. It just set the setting to 1 and made the documents disappear. Have a great evening.

Hi,

glad you’ve sorted it out!

Lubos

I have a few formatting issues, I’d love your help with.

1. Gallery, How do I get all the images to display? For example, on this page I’d like all the images to display vs having to click on the gallery to see all the images? http://dev.townoflingle.com/community-center/ I’d also like the captions to display.

2. For the people, I’d like them to display with a picture and contact info in the widget on the side? http://dev.townoflingle.com/pool/ So this should show a picture, phone, address. it just shows name, position and picture. So needs the phone and address to display as well.

Thank you!

Hi,

1.) I am sorry but that is not possible using the LSVR Galleries plugin, you can instead just create a regular page and add your images via a block editor.

2.) I am sorry but person widgets do not display all this info, something like that would have to be custom coded.

Lubos

How much would it cost to get this custom coded? Can you do it?

Unfortunately I am not available for custom work, but you can use the official Envato Forums to find a freelancer: https://forums.envato.com/c/project-making/am-looking-for/7

Hi, I am ready to purchase but I have one question. Does this package come with WPBakery or is it Elementor only? Thank you

Hi,

it does come with bundled version of WP Bakery, however please note that the demo content was created using the native WP block editor. So for example, if you prefer to use Elementor / WPBakery editor instead, you will have to recreate the standard pages (specifically front page) from the scratch.

I have some funny output after updating here and there on my website Www.kooplokaalprinsenbeek.nl. I use the latest news feature which looked fine and now not anymore. Some is wrong but maybe you can give me a hint where to look. Maybe i need to reinstall.

Hi Lubos,

Thanks for replying so fast. My main theme is from version 2.6.10 at this moment. In elementor i see for my frontpage (voorpagina) 3 sections Only one and that is the last section has the pressville message widget and directory widget. But if i save the page and publish it. Then I see first 2 more or less corrupted widgets and on the end of the page they are visually correct. It looks double, but in elementor i have only one. I think myself now that my frontpage is corrupted. But maybe you can tell me what the smarterst thing is to do. I am not a PHP programmer, more an advanced user.

Thanks for helping out

Greetings Vincent

My advice would be to recreate the front page from scratch. You can keep the existing one as the backup.

Thanks, I thought so too. I am going to do that

is it possible to edit a single date within a recurring event?

Hi,

that is unfortunately not possible without accessing your database and manually change the date there (and it would change back every time you re-save that event post).

How do I change the height of the window for the background image of the header? The image I want to use is 1600×513. It does not fit into the window properly. Can I make the window a bit taller?

Hi,

please try this CSS:

.header-titlebar--large.header-titlebar--has-topbar {
  padding-bottom: 250px;
}

Lubos

I installed the theme and it looks great and everything seems to be working…except the link to “More News” returns to the homepage, instead of the post archive. On the individual posts if i click the News breadcrumb at the top of the post, I go to the homepage instead of the post archive.

Hi,

make sure to set your page for posts (and front page) under Settings / Reading

I have another question. I need a translator plugin for my site. I have installed WPML but am having problems. The issue is that maps are not showing on the translated page. I tried Google, Openmaps, and Mapbox. None are working. The WPML switcher in the menu does not work (Your switcher works fine), and Events are not showing on the main page. The deal breaker with WPML is if I cannot get the maps working. I have contacted WPML support. If they cannot help, do you have any suggestions for another translation plugin? I have over 5,000 words now, so automatic translation is a must.

I fixed it with the help of WPML support. I had to enable copying over custom fields

Glad you’ve sorted it out!

WPML helped me sort out the problem with the WPML language switcher not displaying in the menu bar. He sent this video and requests that you join the Go-global program of WPML. More information about the program is available here: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ The fix is here. https://tinyurl.com/yv4z6ktf

I added a QR code to the footer with the Image widget. It is to accept Bitcoin donations. I want to make it clickable on mobile but the “Link to” accepts only https:// the format I need to make clickable is this bitcoin:bc1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?message=Pay%2520to%2520wallet%2520Wallet%2520User

How can I do this in your Pressville theme?

Hi,

that is a native WordPress widget. I guess your best bet is to find a 3rd party one in the plugins repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Lubos

I got it working by adding a custom html widget. ChatGPT wrote the code

Crazy times we live in:) Glad you’ve sorted it out!

Hello, I am working with the pressville theme. I am trying to add icons to the directory map. I am using the codes from the pressville icons (Icomoon Demo). the icons do not show up. When I add a photo to a listing it works fine. The photo shows on the map. But when I use an icon instead of a photo, it does not work. what am i doing wrong?

The only way to do it is to add icon as a featured image (you will have to create an image with icon first) but that will show not only on the map but on the listing thumb everywhere.

Thank you. I am deep into configuring this theme. I is really amazing the work you have done. It is extremely useful

Thanks a lot!

Hello, we’ve been searching for an option to adjust the width of the sidebar, with no success. Is there any possibility? Thanks in advance

Hi,

unfortunately, that’s not possible without some custom coding, try this CSS:

.columns__main.lsvr-grid__col--span-8 {
width: 60%;
}
.columns__sidebar.lsvr-grid__col--span-4 {
width: 40%;
}

Lubos

Thanks for the answer, we tried to widen the main content area and slim down the sidebar proportionally. Your CSS worked for the sidebar but for some reason the width of the main content doesn’t change at all, we have it set at 1140px, but after 970px it doesn’t increase in size anymore. If you have an idea what the issue could be, we would appreciate the feedback, but your answer already helped a lot. Thanks!

Right, you will also need this:

.lsvr-container { max-width: 1500px; }

Hello Which map provider are you using for the Pressville demo?

Hi,

demo is using Google Maps

Lubos

Hi, thanks for the explanations about the translations, everything’s working fine now. As far as the events are concerned, I’m afraid you’re wrong, because I’ve only created the event once and I’ve set it up for several days. My real problem is that the other events I’ve created aren’t displayed, even though they’re in the same category.

Would it be possible to have a tutorial explaining how to use your “LSVR Events” plugin to create and display several events in similar and different categories?

Hi,

I am checking your events archive page and it seems you have a PHP error there, pleas enable the WP Debug mode which will show an actual error message: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/

Lubos

Hi, regarding our translation problem, we used the “Loco Translate” plugin as you recommended. We have translated the whole site but words like “in” in the description of an article and “all-day event at” in the description of an event on the home page are still in English.

The problem with the display of events still persists.

You can visit the site by clicking on the following link: https://www.mengueme.cm/

Hi,

have you translated the LSVR plugins as well? Some of those strings can be found in plugins as well as in the theme translation files. For example check out the LSVR Events plugin for strings related to event widgets.

As for the duplicated events, you’ve created is as separate occurrences so of course it will show multiple times, that’s how it should be. If it is one event which which lasts multiple days than you should set it as a multiday event, for example it start on 14. and ends on 15.

Lubos

Hi dear, we have read your answer and the action you asked us to take (the one indicated in the documentation) had already been done. The problem in the documentation is that Poedit is a payware and we don’t know of any plugin that can help us. Can you suggest a plugin that will solve our problem?

We’re also having trouble with the LSVR Events widget, which displays the same event three times when the limit is set to three! We’d like it to display three different events.

Thank you for providing us with solutions to our concerns.

Hi,

what do you mean by “payware”? There is a premium version but you don’t need it. The free version is more than enough. Alternatively, you can use a WP plugin like Loco Translate, but I highly recommend to give Poedit a try, as it is the best way to create a translation.

Ad events: please share your URL where I can see it.

Hey,

we have a Wordpress Multisite installation within 30 pages. Could we use one theme for the whole multisite or do we need a license for every single subpage on the multisite?

Best Daniel

Hi,

it is more about the domains than installations. Here is an old thread from Envato Forums about that, just skip straight to the last reply for an official answer: https://forums.envato.com/t/locked-products-licensing-for-wordpress-multisite/77838/19

Lubos

Hello my dear. I bought your theme for my site (https://www.mengueme.cm/) I have a problem with the translations there are certain places like the ‘IN’ in the description of a post, the breadcrumb, the time in the event schedule that I cannot translate into French.

I would also like to know how to configure breadcrumbs

Hi,

have you followed the translation tutorial in the documentation? http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#translation

Lubos

I just recently purchased the Pressville theme and I could not be less satisfied. This would be an ok theme for someone that didn’t expect much from their website as far as out of the box customizable design. But, that just couldn’t be further from what I’m looking for. I’ve built at least 40 wordpress website over the last few years and this theme is like like hiking through mud every step of the way getting pages built and customizing the design to create a unique website.

I would really just like to get my money back for this theme. I’ve really tried to make it work for what I need but the time it takes to set up and customize pages to my liking is not worth it at all.

Hi,

sure, please send me a PM.

Lubos

Thank you. Your quick and hassle free refunding was great. Really had high hopes for this theme and wish it lived up to the premium theme sales pitch and premium price tag. Thanks again!

No problem. The main selling point of this theme is that it provides a lot of municipality-specific functionality, which you won’t really find in many themes, but I understand that if you are expecting customization in a way the modern multipupssoe themes provide, you can be disapointed.

I purchased the theme and reading your description, Pressville is supposed to come bundled with the WP Bakery Builder editor. However, the downloaded file /plugins/ folder doesn’t appear to have the WP Builder in there. Do I get that from somewhere else?

Hi,

it is there, it’s the js_composer.zip package, it is mentioned in the documentation: http://docs.lsvr.sk/pressville.wp/#plugins-installation-bundled

Lubos

Ok, I see that in the original file for js_composer, but not in the updated ‘Download’ for the latest version of the theme (unless it’s only in the FULL download).

Also, the link you sent above about ‘bundled plugins’, looking at my Admin Panel, I do not have the link option regarding ‘Appearance > Install Plugins. Am I missing something else?

1.) The js_composer.zip is only in the full download indeed.

2.) The location of that link may have changed as that is generated by a 3rd party script, but after you install and activate the theme you shall see a prompt at the top of your admin which will lead you to the plugins installation page.
