    Dear Max @MaxWinter

    " if i turn the color just white for the page, it wont be seen at all because of the blend mode."

    The aim is not to have the site-title & navigation mix-blend-mode?

    What happens to your page when setting the body background colour transparent?

    body{ background-color: #0000ffff; }

    "Tried to use the slug way"
    https://laytheme.com/documentation/custom-css-styling.html#css-based-on-current-page

    Based on the page or project's slug- you could reset the mix-blend-mode:difference

    nav.primary{ mix-blend-mode:normal !important; } .sitetitle { mix-blend-mode:normal !important; }

    Dear Max @MaxWinter

    I think i can help 🌝
    When a Link has an image inside of it, we would have the 'nesting'

    a img{ //insert css here }

    Screen Shot 2022-04-02 at 2.58.26 PM.png

    But in most cases with a link and text - the link would have a span element inside wrapping the text:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-02 at 2.57.54 PM.png

    a span{ // insert css here }

    Because if this we can target only the links that have span within therefore only text links, e.g

    a span { color: #000000; transition: ease-in-out 0.2s; } a span:hover { color: #000000; -webkit-filter: blur(10px); /* Safari */ filter: blur(20px); transition: ease-in-out 0.2s; } Best wishes Max, have a great weekend Richard

  • Website broken after Lay Theme (4.2.3) Update

    Dear @PTD

    Could you please confirm the following for debugging 🌝

    Wordpress, Lay Theme & Laytheme's Addons are all up to date? ( i know the theme is updated but maybe your plugins aren't)

    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 (most common reason).

    If using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.

    License key not activated - (in website blank situations or button not available)

    I see in the developer console that your font "universaltsd black-1" is not loading correctly as well, you may wish to convert it to .woff2 format and re-upload to be sure

    https://cloudconvert.com/woff-to-woff2

    Talk soon & best wishes ✨ Richard

    Dear Tim @Tim-B

    The active menu point will have a class added to it called current-menu-item :

    Screen Shot 2022-03-24 at 6.28.12 PM.png

    You can take advantage of this to target it with CSS and set it italic for example:

    .current-menu-item { font-style: italic !important; }

    Dear @beucccia

    Although not built in to Lay Theme you could do this via Custom Coding.
    The .gif could still be called from the media Library via URL ( src=url )
    I cant custom code it for you sorry but hopefully these links may help you in the right direction, also if any others on the forum wish to speak up 🌝

    https://sirv.com/help/articles/hover-change-image/#:~:text=To swap an image when,"rollover" image becomes opaque.

    https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/faq/how-to-change-image-on-hover-with-css.php

    Also this thread may help with understand how to call the image from the media library:

    http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/6087/imagehover-on-element-grid-lightbox-on-carousel

    There was also a user who attempted this with a plugin:

    Hope this helps @beucccia & have a wonderful day Richard

    Dear Toby @Toby

    Not with built in options sorry, the closest would be the Layout type "Masonry" .

    Because the Thumbnail grid is images with links to the Projects, you could copy your "exact" layout using it's JSON:

    http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/7421/insert-page-into-another

    And then link the images to the projects. This would create an exact match but has the burden of being manual.

    Best wishes Richard

    Dear @sandraayad

    Possibly you have not set the "Featured Image" yet. Pages do not need this but Project's do for the Thumbnail Grid:

    Dear @Bella

    I totally understand when the amount of images becomes many, thank you for the feedback and have added it to the development notes βœ…

    Feedback #1

    It would be really fantastic if with future updates the image hover could be extended to images (which I actually thought it was for, to be honest 😬 ).

    Feedback #2

    It would also be great for the Woocommerce product images, but I understand that that's probably more complicated to achieve. So maybe adding an image hover option that works with "regular" images (not products images) would be an option to start with? :)

    have an amazing day Bella Richard

    Dear @benni No worries calling me Robert! ⭐️

    Thank you for the great solution that will help others πŸ‘

    Give the element you want to offset an ID and then use the custom CSS option to define the offset via the translate() CSS function.

    Here is an example of what your CSS could look like:

    #img-1 { transform: translateY(-30%); }

    This bases the offset on the width of the image you gave the ID to.

    have a wonderful day Richard

    Dear @dmncn

    It's a bit of a trick with just z-indexing alone. The whole system works on z-index:

    Cover: z-index 1 (must be the lowest to slide underneath content) Content: z-index 2 (must be higher to not be hidden by cover) Site-title: z-index 3 (must remain above content).

    So i think however you assign new z-indexing to the above three elements it wont work for example:

    Cover: z-index 1 (must be the lowest to slide underneath content) Content: z-index 2 (must be higher to not be hidden by cover) Site-title: z-index 0 (must remain behind cover == but now hidden by content).

    To use z-indexing for the site-title to be hidden then shown, the Cover must be higher than the image, but then it's also higher than the content and will not slide behind and therefore not be a cover.

    I think to solve this problem you need some javascript or jquery that "at a certain scroll position the site-titles z-index changes from 0 to 3"

    Best Richard
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
