    @Richard-K said in Thumbnail caption wider than thumbnail?: .lay-textformat-parent.below-image { width: 200%; margin-left: -50%; } I don't entirely understand how it works, but I've gone for: width: 300% margin-left: -100% ...which seems to work just fine! Thank you!

    Dear Johannes @jwk Unfortunately not at this moment with the built in Lay Options. This could be achieve through some JS/jQuery but you may wish to seek the aid of a developer to do that In 'Customise' the site title can be set to the HTML option - here you could add Code that asks for the current project and changes accordingly :) [image: 1608341346379-screen-shot-2020-12-19-at-2.27.33-pm-resized.png] Best Richard

    Dear @FW If the cover is less that 100vh you would see through underneath and the content would stick out? It wouldn't be a cover anymore so there is no built in Lay options for this. Maybe this is what you want? :) Best Richard

    Dear @samdismore It is possible but you may wish to seek the aid of a developer for this one, Some Javascript would need to look at the contents/data of the image, register whether it is black or white and then change the Navigation accordingly - bit tricky but would be possible. Another way which is probably easier is to manually set a class/ID for the slides that have the black background: [image: 1608333588592-screen-shot-2020-12-19-at-12.18.21-pm.png] Set the the ID to e.g #special And then when the slide with #special is active in the slide the navigation changes accordingly. This is the one i would go for. There are more ways for sure and hopefully people will share their thoughts! I hope i have been somewhat helpful Sam, apologies that i cannot create a tutorial just now! Let me know your thoughts and have a wonderful day :) Sincerely Richard

    Dear @e27 Thats a very good Question, only Armin would be able to decide this. Would you be able to Email your query to info@laytheme.com? Better to be discussed in person that on the forum :) Hope this makes sense and thank you for considering Lay Theme as the Option for your Students! awesome Best wishes & have a wonderful day Richard

    Dear R @runeok I had some difficulty with the Feathered-edge because it seemed to rely upon the 'background image' property But i came across the Webkit-mask and this worked when applied to my Carousel slide - unsure about its compatibility with "IE" It would be worth looking into as an option forwards for you: https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-feather-the-edges-of-an-image-using-CSS I used a piece of code from the above link to make sure it would work :) Best Richard

    @weodeo said in Stability of the Theme: we've designed a website for a customer with the lay theme. Because of the issue with the firefox and opera browser, that the site wasn't available and it took a few days to fix it, the customer ist kind of angry and wants to know, if this was a single case or if it happens more often. Can anyone give me feedback on that? I need something to argument. I like the lay theme and love to work with it, but is it risky to work with it for paid customers? Hey, I always try to make sure everything works before I release an update. However, sometimes I overlook things and sometimes it takes some time to fix things. Things not working to that extent just happened once prior when I released a major update and people didn't update their addons. If you'd like to be on the super-safe side you can always create a backup before updating or just not update lay theme in case you don't need an update. Oftentimes updates are just bugfixes or new features. However, your website might not need that new feature or does not have that bug. So you don't need to update. So you could also just not update your theme if you're happy with how your theme and addons work. But yeah this bug was kind of bad luck and it really took too long for me to fix it. Usually this doesn't happen.

    Dera @ramgonru If the pages are all different colours This can be achieved through adding some custom code to 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML' Do you have any example of what you wish to achieve or the link to your website? This would be a first step but there are many options out there :) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6750695/jquery-change-text-color-based-on-containing-elements-background-color Best Richard

    Dear @barbarama What would the closed button 'close/activate? you can do this with adding HTML to the Gridder and then assigning some jQuery to it - just need to know its function :) Best wishes and have a wonderful day Richard

    Dear @jerbob Thanks for the update with ShiftNav Plugin, good to know :) Sorry im just having trouble understanding: "the page of my menu charge into the URL, but doesnt recharge in my page" Is this " the menu changes to the correct URL but doesn't take me to the correct location on my page"?[image: 1608003487266-screen-shot-2020-12-15-at-4.35.48-pm.png] Or is it to do with the Menu bar: [image: 1608003502781-screen-shot-2020-12-15-at-4.32.46-pm.png] Best wishes Richard :)

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
