    Hey! much better this way: body, html { -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed; } optimizeLegibility cause a tremble effect when reloaded the page. Great theme!

    Hi Val, on the carousel you can only click left and right or grab the images and slide them. But there is no official way yet to also think the carousel or the content inside. Somewhere you need to add a see more button. The button could also appear only if you hover with your mouse above the bottom part of the image for example. But to achieve this you need to know the basics of jQuery. But thank you for your input with adding a slideshow as a project thumbnail. Until this is implemented you need to find a workaround like I described above. Have a good day and let me know if you have questions! Best! Marius

    Dear Daniel, 1 The Javascript version should work yes. But you cannot use the jQuery(document).ready(function(){function. Because your Lay Theme website is a "Single Page" JavaScript application you cannot just use jQuery(document).ready(…) to execute your js because the ready event only fires once when the website loads the first time. You need to use window.laytheme.on("newpage", function(layoutObj, type, obj){ });. You can find a detailed documentation about this here: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-javascript 2 The append solution might work. You need to test it with the new way of calling jQuery I mentioned above. Another way I would try is to get the image url and place it via jQuery into an image box which is outside of the Gridder-Module. Since this is not a default feature – we need to find a workaround like that. 3 I answered that above I think :-) All the best and let me know if you have further questions! Marius

    Hi Loes, you are right. In the library the original files are piling up. I would advise you to have a maximum size of 2500px and try to keep every image under 1 mb. It will not really slow don your website though – even if you have big images online. But of course it can be more heavy for your server and to optimize the images upfront is for sure a good idea. I hope I could help you! Have a good day! Marius

    Hey Micha, so there are a few websites made with lay theme for musicians. This is one for example: http://boldsun.de/ So lay theme doesn't have support for shop integration, but you can place itunes links of course. You can also use soundcloud embeds. I'm sending you some login data to your email for you to try out lay theme. Greetings

    Hm, I can't see the website because it is password protected. Yes yes, well I think you can probably make a modal open itself when you click on something. But it won't easily be possible to show the gridder content inside of it :/. You can extend lay theme a bit with your own functionality but just up to a certain point. I'm not sure if I know what you mean by "WP Pages". If you are comfortable with programming a bit and you want to use the gridder, I think it is probably easier to use laygridder.com If having modals like that is really important to you and a dealbreaker, then maybe you don't want to use lay theme anymore. Then you can get a refund if you want.

    Hey Barbara, you can disable the transition. Go to "lay options" and then set "Transition duration when navigating" to 0. There is no sliding option for when you go to the next project :/

    Ok what is your css for your menu points for these pages? I'm sure you need to write some extra css for the underline. This is the css you need to target the underline color of the currently active menu point. nav.primary .current-menu-item>a span { border-bottom-color: #fff; } Of course you can combine this with "body.slug-x" to make the underline white for a specific page. http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling Thanks :)

    Oh hmm, it could be that this won't work properly when you open a new tab and enter the url with the #second_row ending. i think it is because laytheme's frontend is a javascript app and the browser will try and look for the section of #second_row before the markup is even loaded and built in the browser with javascript.

    hey michael, nooo :/ :(

I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
šŸ’æ Email me here: šŸ’æ
info@laytheme.com

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
