2 issues:
1. At https://hidemywpghost.com/article/difference-between-safe-mode-and-ghost-mode-in-hide-my-wp/
It’s a custom post type and it has set custom category (article_category) and custom tags (article_tag). If I click on the custom category in this article, I am redirected to category and not article_category as it should.
2. I can’t add a custom Sidebar for the custom post types. Is that possible or not?
Hi,
1.) You should create a template file for your CPT via a child theme, something like single-article.php. Copy content from single.php (or single-lsvr_kba.php) into it and change “category” and “post_tag” taxonomies to custom taxonomies of this particular CPT.
2.) you will have to use “lsvr_lore_sidebar_position” and “lsvr_lore_sidebar_id” hooks for that. Take a look into wp-content/themes/lore/inc/lsvr-knowledge-base/actions.php lines 398 and 419 to see how it was done for the LSVR Knowledge Base articles. Just copy both blocks into your child theme function.php, rename function names and replace “get_theme_mod” calls to the IDs of your custom sidebars (for example “lsvr-lore-custom-sidebar-1”)
Lubos
Thanks. A lot of tech advices but I managed to follow your advice. And to change the category links with custom category links when I get to a category and see all the articles?
Which category links do you mean exactly? Anyway, anything to do with custom taxonomies have to be done via filters and stuff like that. Just take a look into wp-content/themes/lore/inc/lsvr-knowledge-base/actions.php file to see how I am handling stuff for my LSVR Knowledge Base article CPT. Please note that customization is not included in the support. I can give you some hints but I can’t help you with everything.
lsvr_framework_remove_wpautop function breaks the Elementor Landing Page because it adds
into buttons and elements
Hi,
try to add this to your child theme’s functions.php:
if ( ! function_exists( 'lsvr_framework_remove_wpautop' ) ) {
function lsvr_framework_remove_wpautop( $content ) {
return $content;
}
}

Lubos, sorry, dananet is our account. Yes, they work, but we also need to save our categories structure in pdf book as well as parse shortcodes and convert links to internal.so it should be off-line pdf book with full functionality.
Hi,
I am sorry but if there is no 3rd party plugin which suit your needs, then I am afraid I can’t really help you with that.
Lubos
Hi, Lubos!
Where I can change the slug for the initial wiki page /knowledge-base. Now we use redirection to link to our custom page, but the problem is that i need to use /knowledge-base slug for my custom page. This one: https://wiki.dotcom-monitor.com/knowledge-base-main/ Thanks.
Hi,
under Setting / Permalinks.
Please note that since your support has already expired, you will have to extend it for any further assistance.
Lubos
Hi! Is there any compatible plugin to convert a set of knowledge base articles to pdf?
Hi,
I am not aware of any, however if you find plugin which will work with standard WordPress posts, it should work with Lore Knowledge Base articles as well.
Lubos
We’ ve tried most of them including desktop converters but it appeared impossible to convert without additional php and css coding. Most of them cant parse knowledge base articles.
Did it worked with regular WP posts? Also, you don’t have a buyer badge so I do not really understand how you’ve tried it with Knowledge Base articles?
Hey there! Love the theme! I’m planning to get this, but could you tell me if this would suit my needs?
I want to have a knowledge base for my team, internally. E.g. I want only “editor” level or up users to be able to see certain posts. And, it shouldn’t be available publicly.
Do you think I could have that?
Thanks!
Hi,
functionality like that is theme independent, it is more about the WordPress itself. Take a look into plugins repository if there are plugin for that. You can try it with standard WP posts and default WP theme. If it will work like you want, it will most likely work with Lore and its Knowledge Base articles as well.
Lubos
Hello master. Is it possible to customize the icons of the categories? For example, use a .svg or .jpg file (example: http://www.ipsaonline.cl/home/1-videoteca.svg)
Thanks for your help
Hi,
unfortunately, that is not possible without some custom coding.
Lubos
Hi Lubos,
We’re currently in production of setting this theme up as a knowledge base for our assessment software as it has everything we need over other themes! However we’ve taken a commitment to only deliver products that comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 and we’ve noticed some issues with it which we can’t fix ourselves with custom CSS or plugins.
We’re hoping you would be willing to look into addressing these issues as it’s important to us that disabled users aren’t disadvantaged and still have a good experience when using the site. There may be more things which could be improved upon, but these are the biggest issues we’ve found:
1. The search icon in the nav bar needs an aria label. It also needs to be AFTER the header menu in the code, as currently it’s tabbed onto first even though it appears last.
2. ‘Was this article helpful?’ the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ buttons need an aria label – currently a screen reader will just read the number of likes and dislikes with no context.
3. In article view, the side navigation chevron buttons to expand/collapse the menu need an aria label as well as an ‘aria-expanded’ attribute to let a keyboard user know if a parent item is expanded or collapsed.
4. Furthermore, the expand/collapse toggle button needs to be BEFORE the children holder list in the code, as currently if you expand the menu then tab to the next link, it will skip over the children and just go to the next parent item.
5. When the sidebar is set to view on the left, it is still below the main content in the code – meaning that keyboard users are forced to tab through the whole content of the page before getting to the side navigation.
Please let me know what you think of these? We’re keen to collaborate further!
Hi,
thanks for feedback, however which version are you referring to? There is already version 2.0, currently available in the beta, here is its URL. Please let me know if those issues do apply to 2.0 as well and we can discuss it.
Lubos
Thanks very much for getting back so soon. This is feedback from version 2.0 but I believe this will probably be in previous versions as well.
I’m more than happy to send through more details to discuss? Please let me know if so (and if you’re okay to talk via email instead?)
Thanks Kerry
The 1.x version won’t be developed anymore (except for some critical bug fixes and so on) so it doesn’t matter there. Any potential changes will be implemented only to 2.0:
1.) I can add the aria label, however the search already is after the header menu in the code, just examine the code via browser’s object inspector and you will see.
2.) no problem, I will add those
3.) again, it shouldn’t be a problem to implement
4.) the toggle button already is before the list in the code, maybe it will be possible to fix via some aria attributes? Will need to take a look into that
5.) sidebars are always below the content in the code because of the mobile version. The only solution would be to add some sort of additional sidebar above the content which will be displayed only if needed, either by some automatic detection or some toggle button. It would definitely require some custom coding though.
I will be releasing a final 2.0 version in early May. I can try to implement as much of these fixes as possible till then. Feel free to get in touch via PM and we can continue discussion via emails.
THANK YOU so very much for the version 2 of your Lore Knowledge Base theme for Wordpress. Having everything editable with the Gutenberg editor and having the modularity that the plugins allow for is great. I am really enjoying it thus far and just wanted to let you know how sweet it is. 
Hi,
thanks a lot! If you find any issues or feel that something is missing, please let me know.
Lubos
Hi Lubos, I tried to contact you about a problem that I was having with 2.0. Are you able to help?
Hi,
last PM I got from you is from the 6 June, have you sent anything new since then? Anyway, let me know what you need.
Lubos
Hi Lubos, I never saw a response so I had to change the theme to another. Things are OK now. I hope that all is well with you.
I did replied right away, check out your spam folder, here is my reply:
Have you created the "page for posts" (it can be set under Settings / Reading)? The title of that page will be used for "posts" button label.
Oh, I believe you. I have had trouble with Envato before on things like this. It’s all good. I have another project here that your theme will be perfect for. I was actually concerned about your health & welfare. You have a good day and I’ll be back to bother your with questions again later on.
Hi, before we buy one – currently we have our own WP PLUGIN with own CUSTOM POST/CONTENT TYPE. It is possible and how to still use our own custom post type instead of KB, with thumbs up/down and comments included?
Hi,
the theme has no effect over 3rd party post type plugins. Simply do not install the bundled LSVR Knowledge Base (I am now referring to the Lore 2.0 version, do not bother with the 1.x) plugin and use your own. However the KB article rating won’t work with your CPT, that is a custom tailored functionality.
As for the comments, that is a core WP feature, so if your CPT support comments then it should work with the Lore as well.
Lubos
Could you tell me the dimension of header banner used on demo site? Thanks.
Hi,
2000×700px.
Lubos
Please see the above screenshot. When I view the site on table or mobile, the menu indicator is overlapped.
Hi,
which version of the theme are you using?
Lubos
I am using version 2 beta. I inserted a site logo and the problem is solved.
Right, you have to use either the logo and/or the site title with tagline.
In version 2 beta, I can’t find the Custom CSS area in Customize.
Check out Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS
I need to remove the date and category of knowledge page article. Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS doesn’t work. Thanks.
What do you mean it doesn’t work? Are you sure you are using the correct CSS?
I use the CSS: .post-footer .post-date { display: none; } It work on ver 1.x
The 2.x has a completely different code, so no CSS from 1.x will work on 2.x. Use this instead:
.lsvr_kba-post-single .post__date { display: none; }
Or this for whole footer:
.lsvr_kba-post-single post__footer { display: none; }
* correction:
.lsvr_kba-post-single .post__footer { display: none; }
Is it possible to set knowledge base archive page as homepage? If so, how? Thanks.
Hi,
that’s not possible without some coding, see this thread or just google something like “wp cpt archive as homepage”. The name of the KB post type is “lsvr_lore_kb” if you are on the 1.x version and “lsvr_kba” if you are running Lore version 2.0.
Lubos
Is there any tool to copy and convert existing ver 1.x knowledge base articles to be used with ver 2 beta?
BTW, that will only convert them, to copy, you need to use default WP import/export functionality. Also, you need to have the old 1.x LSVR Toolkit plugin active at the same time with the new 2.x LSVR plugins to convert those posts. I would say that convert them on your existing 1.x installation and then export only the new ones, this way you will keep your 2.x installation cleaner.
Installing just the LSVR Knowledge Base and LSVR Framework plugins from 2.x to your 1.x installation should be enough for the conversion.
So I have to install lsvr-framework from ver 2 on ver 1.x site to convert existing articles?
You need to install mainly the LSVR Knowledge Base plugin from 2.x, LSVR Framework may not be required, but you should install it just to be sure.
Just to be sure, I am talking about converting it on your existing 1.x installation. You definitely have to install the LSVR Framework and other LSVR plugins on your 2.x installation.
Also, that should go without saying, but you should do it on some staging/local installation not on your live installation.
Hi, Just wondering whether you write your own documentation using your theme? We’re looking at using categories and sub-categories to organise our page structure, which you seem to use on your own documentation. Thanks, Georgie
Hi,
I am sorry but I do not understand your question. You can use categories and subcategories to structure your Knowledge Base as showcased on the demo.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Lore 2.0
The Lore 2.0 is a major theme update which will be released soon and will be available to any existing and future buyers of the Lore theme. However, there are couple of important things you should know.
2.0 Features
- Compatibility with the new WordPress block editor (Gutenberg).
- Modularity of features: each post type (knowledge base, FAQ) comes as a separate plugin, so you can install only those you need for less bloat.
- Much cleaner and up to standards code for easier advanced customization (don’t forget to use a child theme for that though).
- Many major and minor improvements.
1.x Compatibility and Support
- Lore 2.0 won’t be compatible with the previous version (1.x). It is basically a brand new theme built upon the Lore design. This applies to theme options, menus, widgets, custom posts (knowledge Base, FAQ), custom shortcodes, color schemes and code modifications. Basically everything. That means that if you want to apply this update to an existing site running Lore 1.x, be very careful and ideally hire a professional for the job.
- Since I understand that incompatibility with the 1.x is a big deal, the 1.x will still be supported. Once the 2.0 will be released, you will find the latest version of 1.x in the full package downloaded from ThemeForest.
- The current plan for 1.x support is to keep it supported until the end of 2019 (or longer, if needed). However, this applies only to customers who will buy the theme before the release of 2.0 and will have a valid support. For all others, I will be happy to provide my 5* star support for Lore 2.0 version.
- If you plan to stick to 1.x after the 2.0 release, then make sure to deactivate the Envato Market plugin to avoid updating to 2.0 accidentally
2.0 Beta
- 2.0 beta will be available in the next Lore update (1.2.0). You will find the installable .zip in the Beta folder of the full package downloaded from ThemeForest.
- Even though it will be technically a beta, there shouldn’t be any major issues, so if you are building a new site, I strongly encourage you to use the beta instead of the 1.x version.
- If you come across any issues in the beta version, feel free to post them here in this forum or send me a PM. I will be updating the beta version until the official release of 2.0, so any issues will be sorted out as soon as possible.
- Please note that Lore 2.0 requires PHP 5.6 or higher, so make sure to check your server settings before you install it (contact your hosting provider if you are not sure about this).
- Do not use updater plugins such as Envato Market during the beta period to avoid accidental downgrade to 1.x.
Date and Pricing
- Lore 2.0 release is planned for early May 2019.
- The price of the theme was just changed to $54 and it will stay like that for at least next few months.

If you have any questions about the 2.0 update, don’t hesitate to ask. You can post your message here in this forum or send me a PM.

LSVRthemes
Lore 2.0 beta is now available! Download the full package from your account / Downloads, unzip the archive and you will find the 2.0 installation file in the Beta folder. It is highly recommended to install it on a fresh WordPress installation!
Hello, First of all, I love your theme Lore (Elegant Knowledge Base WordPress Theme) ! But.. I have some problems with its customization, could you help me please ?
> color scheme < I choose Pick Colors, that i personalized. Its OK on every page expect the Front page.. The icons are still in the color of the last Predefined Color Scheme..? I don’t understand why.
> language < My website is in French (principal language), but some fields are still in english (“read more” for articles, “Search the Site” in search widget…). How can I change it please ?
> search in the header < I love the option “Search filter”, but it stays with the “default names and categories”.. My Knowledge base is now called base de connaissance, “All” is “Tout” in french, i’d like to delete “post”.. How can I do please ?
Thanks a lot for your help ! Have a nice day
Hi,
1.) please share your URL
2.) you need to translate the theme and the LSVR Toolkit plugin, there are many articles on the internet abut that, try to search for something like “wordpress theme translation via poedit”
3.) you can change those strings by translating them, see the previous point. You can hide “post” with this CSS:
.header-search-filter-type-post { display: none; }
Lubos
Thanks. Here is the url https://www.trade-easy.fr/trade-easy-help/
Try this CSS to change the color of icons on your homepage:
.c-content-grid .folder-icon { color: #2e78ff; }
Cool, its works, thank you ! but not this one .header-search-filter-type-post { display: none; }
I changed like this, and it’s OK 
.header-search-filter label.m-active
Hi! How can I filter items appeared under Related articles in Knowledge base? Is it possible to adjust default behavior? Need to display particular articles instead of random from the same category in the Related articles. Thanks!
Hi,
the current version picks random articles from the same category, however there is a major update coming in the following weeks which will allows you (amongst many other improvements) to choose exact articles to display as related.
Lubos
Thanks a lot!
How can I setup a sidebar like demo? Each category should its posts and hide/unhide when user click. Thanks.
Hi,
use Lore Knowledge Base Categories widget for that.
Lubos
Hi,
I uploaded the Lore theme. But when I activate, error 500 occurs.
Hi,
make sure you are running PHP 5.6 or higher. You can also activate the WP Debug mode to see the actual error message which should tell you what exactly is wrong.
Lubos
Hi there,
Are the knowledge base articles custom post types?
Many thanks, Daniel
Hi,
yes they are.
