Armin, thanks so much! I must have written the CSS correctly the dozen times I checked it, but it turns out that checkbox was disabling it. I knew it had to be something very simple that I just couldn't figure out—it's such a basic feature and I'm sure I've done it right before. Thanks for being so attentive to all of us! Maggie

hey @arminunruh in another group (addon) we all have critical frontend problems with carousel add-on. it crashes the whole website . please read. i think there is a damaged carousel- add-on version going on....

Works like a charm! Thank you so much ✨ [image: 1747119530807-carousel-button-ok.jpg]

Okay, I see. Well, I'm not sure how to make this work here. The project overlay feature wasn't really intended to be used that way, and this seems to be a bit more hard to do than expected.

Probably it's because some styles were applied in the text editor that don't get overwritten by the mouse over CSS. Can you please go to Customize > Links and texts > Links and texts mouse over. [image: 1747071149346-screenshot-2025-05-12-at-19.32.24.png] Then please activate this setting for mouse over styles. Currently, this reads "force mouseover color". But with the next update I'm changing this to force apply all of the mouse over styles, not just the color one. Because I think that makes more sense.

@arminunruh Hey man, Thank you so much! It was a big help and everything works as intended :) Also thanks to @piotr for telling me about your topic :) Enjoy your weeks

Sometimes it's that easy... Thanks again!

Hey Miguel, that's a great idea. Let me think about it.

Great thanks, I will check this out!

in the lay options section called meta tags [image: 1747035678087-screenshot-2025-05-12-at-09.41.14-resized.png] Just fill out this.

Hey, probably the issue is he was using both a desktop layout and a custom phone layout on the same page while inserting the same short code. You could just not use the custom phone layout, or create two different maps with two different shortcodes and insert one in the desktop layout and one in the phone layout. Maybe it has to do with this. Because the thing is, if you create a desktop layout and a custom phone layout, those are two different markups that exist on the same page. Now, when you insert a shortcode, some plugins don't really output their content twice when you use the same shortcode twice on the same page. This could be an issue with the plugin's JavaScript where the plugin author simply didn't account for this possibility.

Hey, SVG colors can only be changed if you insert the SVG code into your website and style the SVG with CSS. It's not possible if you just insert the SVG as an image tag like <img src= This is just a general HTML and SVG restriction. It's nothing to do with Lay Theme specifically.

Hey there. I removed the Theme file editor because I don't want people to change the code of Lay Theme. Those changes are overwritten anyway when you update Lay Theme. If you really want to change the code of Lay Theme, you can use FTP to access the Theme folder and change the files there.

Hey. Okay, that's weird. can you send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com? I did do some changes to move the project thumbnail box more to the top. Because on a fresh Lay Theme install, the project thumbnail box is really low on the screen and people have to scroll to see it, which confuses people because you need to set a project thumbnail in order to be able to save the project and publish it. Could I please take a look at your WordPress admin panel to see what's going on there and to fix the issue for you? can you send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com? Sorry about the issue.

Hey, so when you have a thumbnail grid element and you use a category filter, clicking on a category will filter the thumbnail grid and will add a hashtag to the URL with the category slug. This is a shareable URL that when visited will filter the thumbnail grid based on that category's slug. However, for tags, there is no such thing for the Thumbnail Grid element.

[image: 1746955719252-screenshot-2025-05-11-at-11.28.34.png] Hey, when I have these settings as you can see above, I have to click to slide. Do you mean you want to be able to still click to slide when you have the drag setting enabled here? [image: 1746955781746-screenshot-2025-05-11-at-11.29.38.png] When free drag is enabled, clicking to slide doesn't work yea. UX wise it is kind of weird to see your cursor transform into an arrow, but you cannot click, if you have slide enabled. As far as i can tell when the free drag setting is on, your mouse cursor is always the drag cursor. If that's not the case for you, do you have a link where I can see this? On touchdevices, you should be able to just swipe. I'm just asking these questions here so I can be a hundred percent sure about what you mean.

Thank you again Armin, the latest version of Lightbox has fixed that issue. Thank you so much!! I'll make sure I will post a link next time too. Thanks, Mark
