Hello, We seem to be having an issue with our website, specifically the “LSVR Definition List” footer widget. The “more button” option always seems to link to our blog page, even after the link has been changed to a different page. Just wondering if anyone knows of any solutions to this please?

Thank you

Please share your URL

Thank you. I have emailed you with the link.

I’ve replied. For the record: there is a bug in that widget, I will fix it with an update ASAP.

Hello, How can I resize the featured image to be smaller? I cant see what is under it without scrolling down.

Hi,

try to use featured images with different aspect ratio. You can crop/edit your images directly in your admin under Media.

Are you planning on re-creating the import data in Elementor? I read that the pages are only editable in the block editor. I bet many people would prefer it if you could edit the demo pages in Elementor. I’m eager to buy but I want to be able to edit in Elementor!

Hi,

I am sorry but I currently do not plan to do that, but just to be clear, this is basically just the front page issue, all other pages you can see in the demo (news, events, directory, galleries, etc) are auto-generated, so they are not dependent on an editor at all. And recreating the demo front page in Elementor is really just a matter of few minutes, you can follow the tutorial (it is based on block editor, but all mentioned elements are available in Elementor as well): http://docs.lsvr.sk/wordbench.wp/#front-page

Hello. I cannot get my menus to appear. I’ve read through the documentation, put in the megamenu in the CSS portion, imported in the demo material, and even tried the Pressville theme as well, but no menus appear at all. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled as well. I’ve turn WP bakery on and off. At no point does it work. I am at a loss as to what to do. But not having menus isn’t going to work. Can you please help?

When I took a better look at your site Ive noticed the menu is partially rendered in the code, there is its wrapper there, so there is almost certainly some kind of hidden error or something like that. Are you running PHP 7 or newer?

Yes. We are running PHP 8 I believe. And the latest version of wordpress. I’m working on the debug now.

Very strange. Anyway, if WP Debug won’t show any errors then send me the login credentials via PM please (this is a public forum) and I will reply asap (it is quite late over here so I may not reply until tomorrow)

In the Wordbench theme, the gallery options don’t appear in the Customize section. In the Townpress theme it does. I looked in the files for the theme and it seems to lack the relevant PHP files to show the gallery in the Customize section. We want to make the galleries look like the galleries in the Wordbench demo where you hover over the galleries and they animate and display text showing you details of the gallery. Also, the actual galleries don’t work as intended. They show the images you import but they don’t do anything when you click them. There is no documentation on creating galleries.

Hi,

galleries in Wordbench are handled via LSVR Portfolio plugin, so their settings can be found under Appearance / Customize / Portfolio

Hello again! I would appreciate it if you would begin the refund process for my purchase of this template. I was under the assumption that this template fully compatible with Elementor (your description states) but its not. It may partially compatible, but I depend on using Elementor for my clients who want to edit their own websites. While the template allows for moving stuff around via Elementor, I see no support for editing text, etc., and I need this. Please let me know what information you need from me to process this refund. Thank you.

Okay, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to replace the image placeholders on the sample home page with actual images. Take the home page, for example. How do I add the image that is located next to slider? I see no obvious (or otherwise) way to add images.

In addition, this template states that it is compatible with Elementor. I see no compatibility at all. Will you please explain and advise? Thank you.

Hi,

have you tried to follow the front page tutorial in the documentation? http://docs.lsvr.sk/wordbench.wp/#front-page Elementor compatibility means that all the theme-specific blocks/elements are available in the Elementor editor. However, the demo was built using the native WP block editor, so if you want to use Elementor, you need to rebuilt the front page from scratch. Just follow the tutorial above, even thou the screenshots are from the native editor, you will find all the block in Elementor as well.

Lubos

Yes, I did look at the tutorial. I am not seeing how you placed the image background in the slider element.

You need to edit your slide posts and set their featured images in the same way you do it for regular posts.

Hello,

I’m experiencing issues with wordbench slider and wordbench split screen not working properly on mobile devices (they won’t scale down completely) causing a left/right scroll for mobile. I also tried to disable these 2 in elementor – responsive view but they still display. Thank you for your assistance and time.

Hi,

please share your URL where I can see the issue.

Suddenly now I am not able to pull up the LSVR documents upload for media, it just spins, and it causes server resources to spike to 100%, it is only under the “Documents” associated with LSVR/Wordbench.

Okay, I have definitely narrowed it down to the LSVR plugins that is causing issues, when I go to edit documents, the media library simply does not load and it causes server resources to completely spike 100%. Something is wrong here and needs fixed ASAP.

Hi,

I assume it worked before, so it must be something on your server side. Maybe your host changed some settings regarding files?

I’ve just tested it on latest WP version, on PHP 8.2.0 and I was able to create a document post and upload attachments into it without any issues

Lubos

I will like to add more fields to the people post type. Is it possible?

As part of my site their is a place to list people that have died in the tow as a tribute to the fallen. So I need more fields. Can it be done and how?

Hi,

you will have to use something like ACF and then edit the particular template pages to display the data., particularly single-lsvr_person-single.php files and/or templates in template-parts/lsvr_person folder. Make sure to do any changes via a child theme.

Lubos

Hi Please i will to know if I can use custom posts with your theme?

Thanks

Hi,

what exactly you mean by custom posts?

Lubos

I mean custom post types using acf

It should work, theme should have no effect over that.

Is the theme compatible with PHP 8.1 and 8.2?

Hi,

yes it is, at least I am not aware of any issues as I am running the PHP 8.2 on my local server myself.

Lubos

Thanks!

Hello. I have got problems with the apostrophes who appear like ”’” in the admins

Hi,

are you having the same issues even when you switch to a different theme? Because the theme itself should really affect that.

Lubos

Hello, Hope you are well. We are looking to do payments for our events via the website. Does Wordbench work with Woo commerce? If not, not worries as we could try other ways such as via Eventbrite and embedding that onto the event page.

Thank you

Hi,

I haven’t tested it with Woo, but it theoretically should work.

Lubos

Hello,

We are getting an error on several of the pages on our website: ‘There has been a critical error on this website’. The error logs indicate that the ‘lsvr-wordbench-toolkit’ plugin could be responsible, and disabling it does remove the error. We have updated the theme and all plugins to the latest versions. I sent you a PM with a few more details. We have purchased the extended support and hope you can help with this.

Thanks!

Hi,

sorry for late reply!

I did not get the PM. Anyway, make sure your server is running PHP 7 or 8. You can try again sending me the PM (just a simple message so I will get your email, I will reply back and then you can attach images if needed).

Lubos

Hello Lubos,

I have confirmed the site is running PHP 8. I have sent another PM as well so you have my email.

Thanks

I’ve replied to your PM, feel free to share screenshots or error messages there.

Greetings, I recently purchased your theme less than 15mins ago and realized that it’s not built on Visual Composer (WPBakery). I was mislead by your statement that it was “compatible with WPBakery” But once I installed it I quickly realized it wasn’t what I was expecting at all.

I honestly do not wish to spend time rebuilding the front page again as I know it won’t be the exact thing on your theme.

Therefore I would appreciate it if could get a refund please.

It’s a good theme tho, just not what I was expecting.

Thanks

Hi,

There is a tutorial on how the front page was build using the block editor, but all the mentioned elements can be found in the WPBakery as well, so I highly recommend to give it a try: http://docs.lsvr.sk/wordbench.wp/#front-page Luboswhile the demo content was not build using the WPBakery, rebuilding the front page in it is really just a matter of few minutes.

Lubos

Hello,

Thanks for the reply/instructions. I checked the tutorials you sent me and tried to follow them, frankly this is seriously not working for me.

It’s simply not what I was expecting. I would advice you include a version with (WPBakery) included already for others who might find themselves in my position.

The work is great, don’t get me wrong, but the ( WPbakery compatibility is misleading) If I had known it was going to be like this I wouldn’t have bought it since it isn’t what I was looking for.

I would really appreciate it if I could get a refund please.

Sure, just send me a PM

Hello and thank you for your reply. I tried with this and other plugins, because I received all the time errors from auto and manual upload (you can check https://hello.elitgimnastika.eu/). From the plugin that you recommend the error is 500, from the others it is specific. Could you please navigate me how to upload an image as yours in the theme into the home page. Probably I can continue after that. I hope so. Thank you in advance

Hi,

it seems that the demo was imported, however please note the images are not part of the demo import for copyright reasons.

You can follow this tutorial on how the demo front page was created, it should help you out: http://docs.lsvr.sk/wordbench.wp/#front-page

Lubos

Hi there! Is there a way to bulk upload events using the LSVR Events plugin?

Hi,

unless they were created on another WP installation via LSVR Events plugin then unfortunately not.

Lubos

Hello, I have bought Wordbench and installed it. I saw that there is a documentation, but unfortunately when I try for example to activate Menu I can`t see this kind of menu in my wordpress. Could you please tell me is there a way to import the same template and just to change the text and pictures with mine. Thank you in advance

Hi,

have you installed the One Click Demo Import plugin as mentioned in the documentation? http://docs.lsvr.sk/wordbench.wp/#demo-import-quick

Lubos

Hello.

When I put the Recent articles widget in a sidebar, I can’t choose to display only one category of article. The two categories of articles are displayed.

How can I do it ?

David

Hi,

please use the LSVR Posts widget instead, as that one allows you to choose a specific category. Recent posts is a native WP widget so the theme has no control over it.

Lubos

Ah yes ! Thank you
