    Dear @Richard-K

    I have to get back to you again, since it did not really work after all. I had uploaded the images with 2500px (long edge) which almost corresponds with the resized version of 2560x1829px so I thought the resizing was deactivated… wow

    However if I upload bigger images they still are 2560px and not the original size.

    But at least I found out why the jQuery you suggested for the "Custom <head> content" did not work! Since lazyloading was on, the images were not loaded from the beginning, so the code had no effect. If I turn off lazyload the code does something.

    So I now have set up a test page again, this time without the imagehover but just placed images for simplicity:)

    Here it is: https://leonbricola.com/test

    This is the code I used, it affects the first image (the second one is just as a reference):

    <script> window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){ var $row = jQuery('.fullrez > div:nth-child(1) > img:nth-child(1)'); jQuery($row).removeClass('setsizes').toggleClass('lay-image-responsive lay-image-original'); }); </script>

    But as you can see it is not the original image that is displayed but a really small preview…

    Any suggestions on how I could fix this? And I also am trying to find out how to eventually get the whole thing to work with lazyloading activated.

    It is kind of frustrating since the option "Never show resized versions of your images" does the trick perfectly but then my whole website is unusably slow which is not an option either.

    Dear @Helena

    Unfortunately at this time, it cannot be easily done in the way the example presents.

    However Lay Theme does provide you the ability to add Custom Code for purposes like this.

    This could be achieved through some simple CSS & Javascript.

    The way i would approach it:

    Create a page with all categories shown

    Create a custom Menu within the Gridder ( no Links, just text - or intentionally turn off the the current menu's ability to link to other pages).

    Use Custom CSS to have all categories not shown - 'display:none'

    Use jQuery to say: ' If ' you click on this Menu Link - ' then' these projects get the Class or Id added: 'active' or 'Show'

    Add Custom CSS that relates to this new class or Id - 'active' or 'show'

    'active' gets 'display:block' for example

    This means that when you click on one of your menu items, only the projects that relate to that Category get the class 'active' and therefore are shown to the viewer.

    If you dont wish to add the categories to the jQuery manually you could use the 'data-title' information already there:

    Screen Shot 2020-11-30 at 12.22.34 PM.png

    Say: If the Menu item matches the 'data-title' Then add the class or ID 'active'

    You will need to remove the class 'active' from the past/current shown projects when clicking a new menu point. This way they wont all be shown after a few menu choices.

    https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling

    I apologise Helena that i am unable to help you in a more detailed Tutorial, but dont give up as there is so much information online with these topics, Google is your best Friend :)

    You may wish to seek the Aid of a developer if this suits you, or seek the advice of the many lovely people on this forum.
    Let me know if i can be of more help in this capacity and i will do my best!

    Hope you have a wonderful day and best wishes.

    Dear @alina-sch

    Try Adding the following Code to 'Custom CSS' within 'Lay-options - Custom CSS & HTML':

    .sitetitle img { height: 100vh; width: 100vw } .sitetitle,img { object-fit:cover; }

    The 'cover' will wish to keep the aspect ratio of your image, you can change this to other variants such as 'fill' or 'contain'

    https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_object-fit.asp

    https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling

    Hope this helps and have a wonderful day :)

    Dear @Dani_MB

    I hope i can help :)
    The License key that you have from your 2018 purchase allows/activates the use of Lay Theme for one domain.

    This came with the Carousel addon, however you can use this Addon on as many Lay Theme sites as you wish.

    You will need to purchase a second License key to activate Lay 'Theme' on your new website, but you can install the Carousel Addon ( plugin ) like you did with your first website - you do not need to authenticate this Addon.

    I hope this helps and have a wonderful day, thank you for thinking of making another Lay Theme website,

    If you have any further questions surrounding this, let me know! :)

    Best wishes

    Dear @HUGO

    Unfortunately at this point you can only set Vertical or Horizontal, not both dependant on page.

    However, this is a great point and i will add it to development notes for future discussion.

    Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for using Lay Theme Hugo

    Hey @Bastion

    Ich schreib dir mal auf Deutsch

    Schau mal, wenn du im Gridder bist, da kannst du Frame Top und Frame Bottom einstellen.
    (Mein letzter Post beantwortet deine Frage)

    Ich sehe wenn ich dem Link folge von deinem Screenshot, dass du garnicht das probiert hast, was ich dir vorgeschlagen habe:

    In Lay Options -> Gridder Defaults make sure you set "Frame top in" and "Frame bottom in" to "px" meaning Pixel.

    Then set your frame top to like 50px and frame bottom to 50px.

    Now for your carousel use a fixed height of "100vh - 100px"

    Make sure your menubar or navbar also has a height of no more than 50px so it doesn't cut off anything. You can configure your menubar in "customize"

    It's all a matter of creating the right settings.

    @Richard-Keith
    maybe if @Bastion cannot create these setting by himself, can you try and do it for him?
    Maybe you can send @Richard-Keith your login data to richard@laytheme.com

    but first try it yourself please it is really not that hard

Before you post:
  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
  3. Disable all Plugins
  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

This often solves issues you might run into

When you post:
  1. Post a link to where the problem is
  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
