    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 🔍

    Dear Marion @marion-guillard

    If you dont apply a background image to the row itself in the Gridder:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-05 at 11.29.05 AM.png

    Then you may want to Custom Code. You would apply a Background Image normally via > Customize> and then add some CSS saying "remove the background image for all pages "except" e.g Page A "

    The "exception - Page A" will be using the page's "slug" in the code:

    https://laytheme.com/documentation/custom-css-styling.html#css-based-on-current-page

    Something like:

    body:not(.slug-homepage) { background-image:none !important; }

    this .slug-homepage is relevant for me but you will need to find the slug of your page or project, the link above explains this 👍

    Dear @ckid

    The Thumbnail Grid has a nice slide-into-view but not snap scrolling like the Fullscreen Slider sorry. You may wish to custom Code it. 🌝

    Dear @yavuzyayla

    "For instance we can't align the menu in the same hight as the image and logo:"

    The Margin above the menu may be set to px instead of the responsive %

    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.27.52 PM.png

    Or your Gridder Frame may be set to px or %
    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.29.56 PM.png

    This can be changed in Gridder Defaults:
    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.30.12 PM.png

    I feel a combination of two seperate measurements could be the issue.

    "We can't add a space in de desktop view between image tiles."

    Are these spaces the Titles of Project's in a Thumbnail Grid?

    If so they can be set within Customizing ▸ Project Thumbnails
    Project Title:

    Dear @simonnelli

    The linked images have no cursor applied with CSS:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.11.49 PM.png

    We can see the + in a screenshot which gives away that it's not the true cursor but some element on the website.

    I think it may be a Unicode applied to the screen with some JS.

    https://dev.to/b4two/how-to-make-a-custom-cursor-with-css-and-jquery-5g3m

    When i change the site's font size the Line height of + symbol increases and pushes away from where the true cursor is:

    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.18.52 PM.png
    Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 8.18.59 PM.png

    For this reason i think it's created out of Text / Unicode.

    Best wishes 🌠 Richard

    Dear @Astrid

    Unsure from Lay Theme settings if possible Astrid.
    Even if you had some Code going through and removing the tags from the HTML, i feel they would still have been outputted initially on page load.

    https://laytheme.com/documentation/tags.html

    https://www.redefineyourmarketing.com/blog/hidden-text-seo-what-google-thinks#:~:text=There are Google-approved ways,an increase in crawled pages.

    A Third-party SEO plugin may have options of non-indexing content but i am not sure of this either sorry Astrid 🤔

  • Exception for Blend Mode on one page

    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; }

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mix-blend-mode

    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

    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

    @lauragrimm

    Thanks for the update Laura, best wishes ✨

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
