    @Richard @Armin-Unruh ,
    Do you think I should write a custom jquery script that translates each number to it's actual category name? and then for each category, display it as a button?

    Or is there a way easier way that I'm not aware of?
    my first obvious solution was to PHP get-category, but I see that it is impossible in Laytheme, right?

    Hello Richard, thanks again for your patience. Tough nut to crack… this i know, I actually have it in 100%fand 120% from the beginning, but as it stays for β€œmaximum” it can still go smaller! Any other ideas?

    Dear Pierre-Ange @ouipierreange

    Thank you for supporting Lay Theme 🌝
    The source of the Video remains the same regardless of Desktop or Mobile Layout. Multiple versions of different quality are not kept like with images, so unfortunately custom code might be the only way.

    Sorry to not be of great help Pierre-Ange talk soon Richard

    Dear Alex @rocked23

    It is recommended that you use Lay Theme's Gridder to create News Layouts in the future.

    I Installed Advanced Editor Tools to test, it has an effect on the Text windows but not on the overall Gridder interface. It did not crash Lay Theme and i could select settings, but the Gridder remained unchanged.

    "n the singe post, the title and the date is not displayed. How can this be activated?"

    It will need to be added the the News layout. It's a good point however and will forward to Armin βœ…

    Best wishes Richard

    Dear Fabi @fabiandraxl

    You may wish to look into how fallback fonts work again,

    https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font_fallbacks.asp

    The following code:

    ._default{ font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.45; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: -0.55px; word-spacing: 0px; font-weight: 500; colour: black; visibility: visible; }

    Will only define a single font family 'arial' along with some font properties (size, weight etc) . I dont think the code specifies any fallback.

    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; Best Richard

    Dear @KingJut

    This would require some good CSS customisation, but hope others on the forum will speak up if they can help 🌝

    Dear Alex @alexanderkilian

    Thank you for the kind words about Lay Theme & the Forum ⭐️

    Unsure of the method used to redirect, i think the issue is not with Lay Theme.
    You may need to get in contact with the "redirector" either Webhost or Plugin.

    On https://www.alexanderkilian.de you can see the HTML Document and Lay Theme code inside:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-12 at 4.46.58 PM.png

    On the https://www.alexanderkilian.com version, the Content is loaded as an iframe and this causes issue:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-12 at 4.45.36 PM.png

    Lay Theme and content is loaded in an internal window (iframe). You can read more about iframes here:

    https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_iframe.asp

    <p>Your user agent does not support iframes. However you may visit <a href="https://www.alexanderkilian.de">the page that was supposed to be here</a></p>

    If redirecting via your Webhost it should load the correct Lay Theme document, instead of a Web document with another Web document (Lay Theme) loaded as a window from within.

    Hope that makes sense Alex & talk soon! πŸ‘

    Dear Stefan @stefanstraeter

    Lay Theme offers a Sub-menu feature:

    https://laytheme.com/documentation/menus.html#submenus

    You could use the feature and make the most of it's settings and then add CSS to make it fullscreen and slide etc.

    A while ago a user mentioned this Plugin helping to create a fullscreen menu effect, but would be up to you 🌝

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/dc-full-screen-responsive-menu/

    The Mouseover effect could be achieved with the Imagehover Addon for the images, but the "white line" through the text is an SVG that is applied. This would need to be custom coded.

    Here you can see the :after selector being used on hover:

    .works__section .works__inner .work .work__title a:after { content: ''; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; background: url(data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='786.406' height='62.855' viewBox='0 0 786.406 62.855'%3E%3Cpath d='M281.377,77.538c-4.364-.072-8.715.054-13.066.192-7.9.228-15.779.673-23.681.883-4.5.114-9,.216-13.5.276-4.376.048-8.752.03-13.153.006-7.927-.036-15.854-.325-23.768-.595-8.665-.288-17.279-.415-25.931-.319-4.2.048-8.39.084-12.59.1-3.751.006-7.5-.21-11.228-.391-4.013-.2-8-.295-12-.2-4.439.1-8.852.246-13.278.4-6.7.228-13.366.385-20.08.415-3.313.024-6.652-.1-9.977-.18-2.963-.072-5.939-.373-8.9-.583-2.526-.306-5.064-.625-7.577-.931-1.375-.174-2.738-.427-4.089-.649-2.1-.325-4.176-.625-6.289-.9-2.013-.264-4.051.252-4.639,1.472-.55,1.184.675,2.35,2.638,2.746,8.79,1.779,17.892,2.752,27.006,3.708,8.2.853,16.517,1.358,24.794,1.845,8.3.493,16.716.457,25.031.379,4.063-.048,8.127-.336,12.165-.547,3.926-.2,7.864-.252,11.815-.312,8.377-.126,16.817-.1,25.194.1,8.6.192,17.167.625,25.719,1.028q12.3.595,24.618,1.142c8.127.373,16.254.829,24.381,1.058,7.989.228,16,.415,23.993.337,4.089-.036,8.164-.114,12.266.072,1.813.078,3.638.138,5.451.282,2.113.18,4.226.354,6.327.523,7.227.739,14.428,1.6,21.68,2.271,7.8.727,15.654,1.34,23.481,2.037,8.477.913,16.942,1.923,25.394,2.908s16.979,1.713,25.506,2.422c8.34.7,16.779,1.039,25.156,1.412,4.076.18,8.152.355,12.215.547,3.838.192,7.639.5,11.465.835,3.651.379,7.314.745,10.965,1.1,1.938.192,3.838.33,5.777.445,1.775.108,3.563.264,5.339.318q11.365.343,22.706.625c14.278.337,28.544,1,42.7,2.271l-.388-.042,1.013.1.25.024-.163-.018q5.57.523,11.165.967c3.726.288,7.5.457,11.24.667q12.6.73,25.206,1.568c3.351.216,6.7.469,10.052.637,2.063.114,4.138.222,6.2.325,1.325.078,2.688.1,4.038.108l2.038.03c.775.018,1.575-.072,2.326-.108l3.076-.138c2.375-.108,4.726-.433,7.052-.733,1.838-.24,3.688-.553,5.576-.7,1.675-.132,3.363-.258,5.039-.385,2.188-.042,4.363-.078,6.551-.108,2.138-.042,4.3.066,6.439.12,4.014.1,8.027.306,12.041.469,4.3.186,8.614.325,12.928.349,4.276.018,8.527-.144,12.791-.289,8.127-.276,16.3-.288,24.456-.264,8.715.036,17.442.1,26.156.12,7.589.018,15.216-.084,22.781-.373,4.388-.162,8.777-.325,13.166-.559,1.638-.078,3.251-.222,4.9-.27,1.113-.036,2.213-.066,3.313-.1,1.263-.042,2.6.09,3.851.132,3.738.138,7.452.445,11.178.643,4.576.246,9.14.481,13.728.673,3.7.168,7.4.282,11.1.3,1.963-.006,3.888.03,5.826-.084,1.288-.084,2.588-.162,3.863-.234.813-.048,2.151-.09,2.626-.168,1.675-.27,3.376-.535,5.064-.8,3.063-.481,5.251-2.085,5.251-3.972a3.743,3.743,0,0,0-2.1-3.011,11.273,11.273,0,0,0-5.064-1.3,55.793,55.793,0,0,0-6.252-.4c-1.6.06-3.176.108-4.776.162-2.926.1-5.851.463-8.727.727-4.6.427-9.19.787-13.8,1.124l-8.327.294c-1.075.036-2.2-.048-3.263-.078q-2.307-.054-4.613-.1c-1.413-.126-2.838-.234-4.214-.451-2.213-.336-4.363-.637-6.576-.877a94.357,94.357,0,0,0-13.228-.186c-8.327.282-16.654.553-25.018.745-16.742.385-33.533-.018-50.3-.5q-9.6-.288-19.13.318c-6.014.391-12,.835-17.992,1.262-2.163.1-4.326.2-6.5.306-2.126.1-4.276.072-6.4.09-4.226.042-8.44-.216-12.641-.529-2.2-.168-4.4-.3-6.627-.439-.8-.048-1.651,0-2.463,0-1.05,0-2.138-.042-3.176.018-4.576.258-9.152.541-13.7.841-2.563.144-5.126.33-7.714.415-3.188.114-6.414.33-9.627.318q-5.176,0-10.352-.012c-1.488-.006-3.026-.162-4.5-.24-1.738-.09-3.488-.186-5.226-.276-2.088-.2-4.176-.4-6.264-.6-2.651-.258-5.3-.559-7.965-.727-5.526-.349-11.053-.607-16.591-.853q-7.745-.343-15.491-.787c-5.114-.294-10.19-.691-15.279-1.094-3.676-.361-7.339-.721-11.015-1.088-3.651-.367-7.264-.847-10.9-1.25-4.713-.529-9.415-1.022-14.166-1.442-3.913-.336-7.839-.613-11.753-.913-15.266-1.166-30.507-2.338-45.736-3.726-6.664-.637-13.341-1.262-19.992-1.953-7.7-.811-15.4-1.7-23.156-2.386-4.014-.366-8.014-.691-12.053-.943-3.563-.234-7.164-.342-10.74-.493-6.8-.289-13.541-.751-20.292-1.334-3.889-.451-7.764-.9-11.615-1.484-1.763-.27-3.538-.517-5.264-.835-2.175-.4-4.339-.823-6.514-1.2-1.313-.234-2.626-.469-3.939-.691-1.238-.216-2.488-.318-3.763-.433-1.3-.114-2.588-.228-3.9-.349-.513-.042-1.013-.06-1.525-.066s-1.025-.006-1.525-.012Zm73.23,15.708,1.325.12c-.438-.036-.888-.078-1.325-.12Zm206.35,8.96c.35.03.7.066,1.05.1l-1.05-.1Zm-18.842,3.942-.087-.006-.625-.054.712.06Z' transform='translate(-60.073 -45.524) rotate(-2)' fill='%23fff'/%3E%3C/svg%3E%0A) repeat-y center 15px; opacity: 0; transition: opacity .3s; }

    The SVG is defined in the CSS as a background URL source:

    https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.asp

    You could therefore load the SVG into your Wordpress Media Library and call it from there (with it's URL).

    Hope this helps Stefan & best wishes Richard

    Dear @craterean Thanks for posting on the forum ✨

    Are you able to post a link to your website? 🌝

    "Is the "Customize Appearance" feature only valid for the front page?"

    Unsure sorry, is this regarding the "Front page" Settings in > Customize:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-08 at 5.32.30 PM.png

    "I would love to keep some elements of the homepage consistent for every page (for ex. the gargoyle png on the top left and my "sidebar on the bottom)."

    The following settings in Customize will apply to all pages and projects of the website:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-08 at 5.35.42 PM.png

    "how can I get the tagline centered using CSS?"

    The site tagline gets it's placement from the site title.
    If you set your Site Title to 'top center' the tagline will also be center.

    "when I go to any page I've created (accessing from my Pages section), this is what i get instead:"

    If you are experiencing issue with content loading on your website, then the following steps may help you ⭐️

    Wordpress, Lay Theme & Laytheme's Addons are all up to date ?

    Any custom CSS or JS that may interfere is temporarily removed.

    Any third-party plugins are de-activated to see if this resolves the issue.

    Feel free to load screenshots or any relevant information πŸ”

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 β†’ 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
