Hi, I have a question and hope you can help me. We have set up a knowledge base and would now like to call up a single page from the system within an iFrame in our application. For this reason, we would like to hide the header and footer and the background colour, as only the content of the page should be displayed within the iFrame. Is there a template or another way to implement this with the Lore Theme? I would be very pleased to receive an answer. Best regards, Marcus

Hi,

I don’t think that will be possible without some code modification. The easiest way would be to create a hook via a child theme, which appends a CSS class via “body_class” filter, based on some param in the URL. For example when you open something like “yoursite.com?noheader=true”, some class, for example “no-header” will be appended to the <Body> tag. Then you just need to add something like this to your Custom CSS to hide header/footer in such case:

body.no-header #header,
body.no-header #footer { display: none; }

This is obviously way beyond the scope of the theme support, but I can give you at least some hints:

Here is how to extract param from URL: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13652605/extracting-a-parameter-from-a-url-in-wordpress

Here is more info on body_class filter: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/body_class/

And here is how you apply filter via a child theme: https://themeshaper.com/2009/05/03/filters-wordpress-child-themes/

Hi Lubos,

Does the theme come with a print css stylesheet? I want to add in some custom css only for printed articles

Hi,

there is no dedicated print.css file, but you can add your print CSS into child theme’s style.css file and nest it within @media print {} declaration and that’s it.

How can I make the following improvements to the search results? 1. Would it be possible to highlight the search terms people use in the articles so that people can more easily spot the information they are interested in? 2. There were a few questions on the order of search results. Would it be possible to show the most relevant articles first?

Hi,

1.) I am sorry but that is not possible, it would require some heavy code customization

2.) results are retrieved using the WordPress native search engine, the theme does not have effect over which posts get returned except the post types filter.

Hi Lubos,

Can you please guide me on how to set “Poppins” as the secondary font?

Hi,

unfortunately, Poppins is not one of the predefined fonts so this will be more complicated. I guess the easiest way is to open the wp-content/themes/lore/inc/customizer-config.php file and add that fony to the list of fonts starting on line 598. Just put 'Poppins' => 'Poppins', after the line with “Alegreya” font for example. Then go to Appearance / Customize / Typography and select the font. It is possible you may need to do is change everytime you update the theme in the future though.

I’m trying out the “Fullwidth w/o title” template for the homepage because I want to add color background to a few sections and have these backgrounds go all the way to the edges of the browser window. Is there a quick way to get actual page content stay within the theme’s wrapper width? I tried adding content inside group, or inside a single column grid, but there’s still no margin added between the content and the edges of the window. Is css the only way?

Hi,

some custom CSS will be most likely needed. Your site is a coming soon page so I am no able to see it.

Hi Lubos,

I am using the Lore Knowledge Base Block (Grid of categorized KB articles), and I want to remove all the article links within each category, and instead, to add a link that says how many articles there are (ie. 7 articles). In the codebase, where can I find the file I need to edit?

Hi,

the code is in wp-content/plugins/lsvr-lore-toolkit/templates/shortcodes/lore-knowledge-base.php and here is the quick tutorial on how to override them via a child theme http://docs.lsvr.sk/lore.wp/#code-customization (as you should never edit the original code)

Lubos

Hi! I’m having an issue in the knowledge base article single page. The “related articles” at the bottom of the article are still showing, even though I disabled this feature in the “customization” area. I have access to the code files, and inspecting the code in the browser, I see the section is within a block that uses the class “jp-relatedposts,” but I cannot locate the specific file I need to edit to manually remove this block from the page. Can you please assist me with this? Here is a page where you can see the “Other articles in this category” still showing up: https://displacedtalenthub.org/knowledge-base/monitor-and-evaluate-displaced-talent-and-employer-outcomes/

Hi,

my guess is that this block is added by Jetpack plugin, not the theme, so check out its settings please.

Lubos

Thanks, that was actually it! for those wanting to disable these, I went to the “Jetpack → Settings → Traffic” page in the wp admin and deactivated the “Show related content after posts” toggle.

Glad you’ve sorted it out!

I reset my VM to start the theme install clean go through all the steps again. When I select lore.zip I am now getting “Incompatible Archive”

Hi,

are you surely uploading a correct file? Make sure you are uploading an installation .zip not the whole package .zip. It worked for you before so so there must be something off.

Lubos

I am following the documentation to create a front page. I create my new menu item and I am on step 3. My screen doesn’t contain all the same options. For example I do not have the description field where I can define the icon to display.

The theme and all recommended plug-ins have been installed. wordpress 6.4.3 php 7.4.30

I have had a KB site for many years and the theme was very old so I found yours as a replacement. so I already have many years of standard pages and posts already existing.

Hi,

you need to click on Screen Options in the upper right corner to enable Description field, it is mentioned right on the next line.

Lubos

please consider adding a minimise/expand button on the sidebar, so that the sidebar can be minimised or expanded horizontally, this would create more space on the page for reading articles

Hi,

thanks for feedback, I will can consider that.

Hi, Im using Knowledge base article categories and Knowledge base articles to create a menu on a home page similar to the demo. But the article categories when clicked on show 404 not found. I’ve set the permalinks for knowledge base categories to ‘category’ and for articles to ‘kb’. The articles work ok (e.g. a url like example.com/kb/https/) but all links to the categories like example.org/category/internet-protocols/ brings a 404. What am I doing wrong, is this a bug? Thanks!

Solved it. It was because I’d changed the permalink for knowledge base categories to ‘category’ which is the name used with standard categories. I’m guessing this caused a conflict? Anyway changing the permalink to something other than category solved the issue.

Hi,

my guess us that the problem is the “category” slug, as that is reserved for WP post categories, try to change it to something more unique.

Lubos

Thanks, yes that worked.

Hi

I have a side menu created by the “LSVR KNOWLEDGE BASE” widget and it’s great.

How to create the same-looking widget, e.g. for post categories ??

Hi,

unfortunately that is not possible, I mean there is a native widget which lists post categories, but of course it does not look the same.

Lubos

How to add a category from the knowledge base to the main page so that there is an icon above it? I edited the category through the admin panel, added an icon, and this icon is shown in the knowledge base, but not on the main page. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

please check out the demo frontend tutorial: http://docs.lsvr.sk/lore.wp/#front-page

Lubos

how to add “RELATED ARTICLES” at the bottom of pages like in your demo?

I sent you access in private messages

You got reply.

thank you, articles like this work now :)

How can I make sure that on the main page images from the blog are published with the same size for PC? look the same on smartphones

Hi,

please share your URL.

Lubos

I’ve tried to resize the window and your blog images look all the same, on both desktop and mobile. They may be slightly resized to fit the responsive grid but that’s to be expected.

In the blog on the right there are inscriptions (Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Categories), which plugin is used to generate them so that they can be translated? I’ve searched several times and can’t find it

Hi,

those are native WordPress plugins. If you want to their those titles you can do so by editing them in the sidebar under Appearance / Widgets

Lubos

hi, it worked, thanks

your demo link is down… found this instead for others https://preview.lsvr.sk/lore/

Hi,

it works perfectly fine on my end. Maybe a temporary issue on Envato’s side.

Lubos

Can you put the table of contents in a sidebar widget?

Hi,

unfortunately not, it will work in the post content only

Lubos

How do I make the site fullwidth, I’ve tried to increase the width with

.lsvr-container { max-width: 1600px; }

But there is still wasted space on each side

Also can i make the LSVR Knowledgebase sidebar widget narrower?

Hi,

try .lsvr-container { max-width: 100%; }, but I can’t guarantee this will look any good as it wasn’t mean to be used that.

You can try this CSS to limit the width of Knowledge Base widget:

.lsvr_kba-tree-widget { max-width: 300px; }

Lubos

max width 100% doesn’t remove the space on each side, maybe its not possible, or easily possible?

The .lsvr_kba-tree-widget code just changes the text width not the vertical line separating the widget from the article

Thanks

Try this to remove side space:

.lsvr-container { max-width: 1600px; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; }

You can remove the vertical line with this CSS:

.core__columns-sidebar:before {display: none }

how to set an image in the header on pages other than the main one? I install it the same way as on the main page, for example, on a blog, but still a black header – no picture

Hi,

if it is a regular page, you can set its featured image in the right panel when editing a page.
