    Thanks! :)
    That should work yes. For example you can change the fontsize of the "default" textformat.
    Please note this won't work if you have applied a fontsize to a text directly in the texteditor. Here someone had that problem, not sure if you might have that problem too: http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/491/responsive-character-style/2

    Hey ricardo, I think I found the problem on your site.
    It seems that you have applied a fontsize in the texteditor. That fontsize overwrites the textformat, so it didnt work correctly.

    Please enter the texteditor by double-clicking your text in the gridder. Now you can select all of your text here and click the button "Clear formatting".

    Now reapply your textformat to that text.

    Hey bennie!

    I am sending you an email with some login data to try out lay theme and the addons for yourself.

    With the lay theme carousel you can have slides with images and captions and a counter yes. By clicking on the image you can go to the next slide, yes. You cannot have different positions of the images depending on the slide no. For this maybe the fullscreen slider addon is better with the horizontal option activated. The fullscreenslider is different and i think it would make sense for you to try both addons. Also with the fullscreenslider on phone your content will be stacked, while with the carousel addon it will still be a carousel also on a phone.

    Theres no support for an index page with all the images of a fullscreen slider or a carousel.

    The site http://tomordoyno.com/ has a different url for each image. Its not really a slider, but just many subpages that contain an image. You could recreate this by creating a project for each image. (Maybe using a vertically centered image like here: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#vertically-center-content)
    Each project has a "project thumbnail". You could add the "project thumbnails" to an overview page by using the "+Project" button in the Gridder. This way you would have an index page with all images. For navigating between the images you could use the "Project Arrows" feature: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#project-arrows

    Contact details / Name can stay fixed, yes. The name can be the site title (Customize -> Site Title -> Site Title) and your contact details could be the site tagline (Customize -> Site Title -> Site Tagline).

    Can I set/alter the positions of all the elements through the html/css editor?

    No, this is better done using the gridder itself but any other css changes you can do.

    Can I set/alter the positions of all the elements through the html/css editor?

    No

    Hm yea for the lineheight, there's no extra setting for mobile in the textformats section.
    For every textformat there is a class like "HTML Class: _My_Headline"

    Screen Shot 2016-06-13 at 11.09.58.png

    You could use that html class and in "Lay Options" -> "Custom CSS & HTML" -> "Custom CSS for Mobile Version"
    you could write:

    ._My_Headline{ line-height: 1.5; }

    Hey Johannes!
    The example page uses pano2vr. There is a wordpress plugin for inserting pano2vr 360 panoramas: http://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/5/cms-wordpress/
    But it works with a shortcode and for now lay theme doesn't support shortcodes.

    But you can embed things using an iframe embed in the gridder with "+More"->"+HTML". Here is a tutorial about how to create a panorama view (google embeddable vr views) and embedding it using an iframe: https://www.sitepoint.com/embedding-virtual-reality-across-the-web-with-vr-views/

    I don't know about making them play without fullscreen or something like that.

    If you want I can send you a login to a layteme testaccount so you can try it out.

    Hey Michael!
    You can offset the elements to make them overlap. Here is a little description about that: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#elements-with-offsets
    thanks for recommending lay theme, rlly appreciated :D

    Hm hmmm,
    I guess you could maybe add that script tag using the gridder with '+More'->'+HTML'
    Maybe that works. I think probably that may not work if you are navigating to the page from within the website cause I think <script> tags are not executed when the website replaces content using javascript which is the case with lay theme since lay themes frontend is a javascript app. Would be much better if you could embed an iframe instead of the script tag

    Hey!
    Hmm, you could insert an image in the gridder using "+More" -> "+HTML". There you can write your image markup with an anchor and your onclick event.

    Ahw, yeah try:

    register_api_field instead of register_rest_field, just change the name.
    i have to update the wpapi that comes bundled with lay theme, then register_rest_field will work. until then use register_api_field, its the same function

    Hmm, I see that you are using "$", but you need to use jQuery instead of $ i think. Cause the jquery thats used in wordpress isnt available through "$" but through "jQuery"

    I think this should work if you put it into "Lay Options" → "Custom CSS & HTML" → "Custom CSS for Mobile Version"

    .descr{ display: none; }

    Hey franzi, please update to 1.7.2
    Now when you edit the tagline you can do: "Hello<br>Hello"
    The <br> is HTML and means linebreak :)

    Hello Tamar!

    I think it would be good for you to create your website locally on your computer using maybe mamp https://www.mamp.info
    You could also create your new website on a subdomain of your current website like new.tamarbd.com
    Maybe that is easier.

    You would have to insert all of your content of the current website into the lay theme website by hand. For example you would need to create projects and put your images inside.

    When your new lay theme website is finished, you would need to move that website to tamarbd.com.
    I wrote a little explanation here about how to move a lay theme website: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#moving-website

    This may be a bit hard to do if you haven't moved a website before and I was thinking to create a video tutorial about that one day.

    If you want to recreate your website so that it looks the same as right now, I think maybe lay theme would not be the right choice. There is no built in support for a menu that has sections like your menu for example.

    If you like I can send you a test account login so you can try the theme a bit and then you can make your decision if you want to buy it.

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
