    hey caromo! I am using the standard wordpress functionality for those embeds. On https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds it says: "Tumblr - only posts (name.tumblr.com/post/etc) are recognized, not standalone images (name.tumblr.com/image)"

    Hey magggot! At the moment the only way to overlap elements is by using offsets like here: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#elements-with-offsets But it's not unlimited layers. :/ You can put texts on top of any element in a row that is using "browser height for row height" as you can see here towards the end of the video: http://laytheme.com/documentation.html#use-browser-height-for-row-height Maybe I will add this feature one day

    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: [image: upload-a75e05c1-38c9-46ca-ac98-ae68b82091f6.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: [image: upload-a5d1c597-df69-4356-aaf2-1e151460f3de.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.

    @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!

    hey MAN, yes that's a good idea! I will write it down and work on that one day.

I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
💿 Email me here: 💿
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
