    antonio is your image maybe in a carousel or something? if u have a link for me that would be great, I'm sure I could solve the problem if I could take a closer look.

    Hey Jacopo!
    At the moment that is not possible, also not with css :/.
    I might add that feature one day. I can't remember if I ever saw a website with project thumbnails with the project title above :D

    Hey Fraser!

    Currently that's not easily possible :/

    You could hide the site title and menu for mobile in "Customize". Then you could add a link to your about page in "Lay Options" -> "Custom CSS & HTML" -> "Custom HTML at top":

    <a class="fraser-mobile-site-title lay-textformat-parent" href="/about/"><span class="_My_Headline">Fraser Mobile Site Title</span></a>

    Here I added a class "_My_Headline" which is a html class of one of my textformats. This way the link will have the style of that textformat. I got this class from going to "Textformats" and looking at the "HTML Class" of a format:
    Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 07.07.32.png

    For a textformat to work properly, it needs to be wrapped in an element with a class "lay-textformat-parent"

    In "Custom CSS for Desktop Version" you can hide the link like this:

    .fraser-mobile-site-title{ display: none; }

    Then in "Custom CSS for Mobile Version" you can position the site title:

    .fraser-mobile-site-title{ position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 2%; }

    The following is somewhat advanced and you don't need to do this but it's nicer this way.
    Please look at this link:
    Screen Shot 2016-08-25 at 07.19.28.png

    You see the attributes "data-id", "data-title", "data-type"
    If you add these attributes to your link (to the anchor <a> tag), then your page will fade out and fade in when someone clicks on that link instead of a hard refresh. But the id needs to be the id of your page.

    Hey mathias!
    for having a second line you can use the "site tagline" in "Customize" -> "Site Title" -> "Site Tagline" :+1:

    @arminunruh Wow, I feel so dumb.

    That worked. Thanks for your help and allowing me to try out Lay Theme. I'll buy a license in a couple of weeks when I receive my paycheck. Thanks again!

    .fixed-element{ position: fixed; top: 200px; left: 30%; z-index: 5; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8); padding: 20px; }

    maybe something like this, with a background color that has some transparency and padding.

    ok. hmm
    maybe you could try to use a longer and more detailed  sentence for your website description? I guess google is using the text on the frontpage instead of the metatag because the tag is not descriptive/detailed enough.

    Yeah all kinda weird there. No, didn't try it without using flexbox. Barely got the grid together using flexbox. Because flexbox was/is relatively easy to understand for me. My skills regarding coding are very basic ;)

    Right now the footer is more important. The Grid would be a nice to have but is not essentially for the website. More a cosmetic thing.

    Best, Quirin

    Hey Mikky,
    For Lay Theme 1.8.2 I included an option for that in the customizer.

    "Customize" → "Mobile" → "Mobile Menu" → "Show Menu Bar Border"

    hey Ryan!
    Thanks!

    Could you please update your lay theme to the latest version? This might help a bit but it probably won't fix it completely. There is currently a bug with lay theme and layouts that are category layouts. Gonna work on that!

    I am hoping to adjust my mobile site to display the page "info" in text without having to open the hamburger menu. Is this possible?

    Yes with custom phone layouts: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-phone-layouts
    You could add a link to the info page with that. It will only show up on mobile.

    On a separate note—I was wondering how to eliminate the tablet display for my site all together so it switches from desktop to mobile when resized in a browser.

    I am not exactly sure what you mean here, can you further explain this? :/

    hello mr pringle,
    If you want to show your mobile menu on one page and not show it on another page you could use custom css for that. Here is a little explanation on how to use css based on the current page:
    http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#menu-color-based-on-current-page

    You could hide your mobile menu and your site title with custom css only on mobile for that particular page.

    By using custom pone layouts http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-phone-layouts you could then add another text on at the top of your info page which could be the title of your site.

    I think maybe it is easier to just hide your mobile menu in the customizer but keep showing your mobile site title. Then using custom phone layouts you could add a link to your info page on your frontpage.

    @arminunruh Hey Armin, Super! Thanks. Yes, it's really only in the category layout: now I re-did the layout, but as soon as I try to add a text field, it fails again.
    So, I'll e-mail you my login...
    Thank you so much!

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
