    but many people cant scroll horizontally unless they have a touchpad OR unless you have a scrollbar on a container

    cause for example how will someone scroll through the images who visits your page on a windows desktop computer with just a normal mouse

    and when you use this JS:
    http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/9038/start-gif-video-mouse-hover-in-project-thumbnail/6

    then the videos always start playing from the beginning

    i might add all of this as a feature one day so u dont have to use custom code for this

    i looked at your css and you set the anchors to position fixed.
    can you give the row where you have your buttons/anchors in a class and then set the whole row to fixed?

    .menu-row{ position: fixed; width: 100%; }

    probably you tried this before and the width: 100% part was missing

    Screenshot 2024-10-07 at 16.25.30.png

    you can set sliding duration to 0 in lay options → lightbox addon, then it will at least not have the left and right animation, but there is no fade effect for switching between images

    but its a great idea yea

    page overlays only broke safari on iOS when you used like 10 page overlays on one page

    usually this happened when people created pages instead of projects to then open all these pages as overlays

    at the moment, only overlays that are open-able on the current page are loaded into the markup, so this reduces the chance that we get too many page overlays at once

    the reasoning behind this preloading of page overlays was just:

    i thought people would have max 2 overlays on a page. maybe a about/contact overlay and a desktop burger menu when the overlay markup already exists and is just hidden, a click to make the overlay show will show it immediately without any loading (which i think is important for burger menus for example)

    but since we now have the project overlays feature, theres no reason to misuse the page overlays feature like i described so i guess its fine, but let me know if you run into any issues!

    so this here
    https://www.gilesclement.com/

    you can try this:
    https://laytheme.com/documentation/gridder-rows.html#fullscreen-background-image

    for having a fullscreen image

    just set top frame and bottom frame to 0 and row height to browser height, then u cant scroll

    if u want to hide the sitetitle on specific pages use css
    please read this:
    https://laytheme.com/documentation/custom-css-styling.html#css-based-on-current-page

    .slug-home . sitetitle{ display: none!important; }

    this could be the css to hide your site title if the name of your homepage is "home"

    Thanks!

    This code worked for me:

    /* delaying the the appearance of project thumbnail mouse hover images */ .thumb.has-mouseover-img img { transition: opacity 1.0s ease; } .thumb.has-mouseover-img img.mo_thumb { opacity: 0; transition: opacity 1.0s ease 0.2s; } .thumb.has-mouseover-img:hover img:first-child { opacity: 0; } .thumb.has-mouseover-img:hover img.mo_thumb { opacity: 1; }

    Awesome- thanks, I'd missed that there was the option of different CSS for desktop & mobile. That's all working a treat now.

    In case it should help someone else in the future, I did have to make a small change to the mobile CSS to get the icon positioned correctly:

    .instaicon a { background-image: url(/wp-content/themes/lay-child/images/Instagram-16x16-1.svg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 23px; background-size: 20px; }

    Really appreciate your help :)

    i dont understand, do you have a link?

    you wanted the site title to overlap the image no?

    maybe increase the z-index value?

    hey so the laygridder plugin and lay theme are not supposed to be used at the same time

    laygridder is just a plugin thats for theme programmers wo want to include some layouting capabilities into their theme

    it can be bought on laygridder.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
