    Dear Richard,

    thanks for the instruction and the code, it helped out a lot and it's a step in the right direction.

    Unfortunately the linked icons/thumbnails are now stuck at the top of the video when entering the page. But I want them to appear/move up by scrolling down (like here: https://lump200.com/).

    Also the footer (Imprint/Scroll to top buttom) should appear by scrolling (underneath the icons) on the video background.
    The background picture (with the smoke) should not appear on the landing page, just on the subpages.
    I'm not quite sure, but I think a need the video as a "real" background on the landing page and not a row background.

    Thanks for the help,
    Sunnyi

    Dear Toby @Toby

    Thank you for the numbers to help with what you are trying to achieve, I believe I understand 🌝

    I would suggest not using four separated menu's but one menu set to: 'top -left' in:

    Customize > Menu Style > Primary Menu

    Then using Custom CSS added to:

    Lay Options > Custom CSS & HTML > Custom CSS

    Apply either a % unit or 'vw' unit to the 'menu-item' making each have a margin or padding of a quarter width of the page.

    This would work the same as if you had the option to use % instead of 'px' for the 'Space Between' setting in Menu Customizer:

    Sorry that there is no built in options for this currently.

    Dear Daniel @danny

    "Is there a way to get rid of it?"

    You could add the following code into:

    Lay Options > Custom CSS & HTML > Custom CSS

    body{ -webkit-font-smoothing: none || antialiased || subpixel-antialiased -moz-osx-font-smoothing: auto || inherit || unset || grayscale font-smoothing: auto || inherit || unset || grayscale }

    Best wishes

    Dear @User4000 ( cool username )

    I hope i understand what you mean, apologies if i do not completely.

    This makes me think it's likely due to the PHP version of your website ( You refer to 'old wordpress site' ).

    A websites PHP version can be updated within your Webhost's settings.
    Note: The most recent PHP 8.0 has been known to cause a few issues until it becomes more widely used.

    Hope that i have helped @User4000 & best wishes 🌝

    Sincerely Richard

    Dear Francesca @franzi

    My apologies that this one is a bit difficult to answer in a straight forward manner. Depending on how heavy the page is in general & other factors, load times will vary. Best if you can in most circumstances get a video's file size down as much as possible.

    We recommend 'Handbrake' to help with this if you need it:

    https://handbrake.fr/

    Also if it helps you:

    https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#speedingup

    Once again sorry that i do not have a more direct answer at this point and thank you Francesca, have a wonderful day 🌝

    Sincerely
    Richard

    Hello,

    sorry for bothering you with the same old issue. As I said the desktop version works much better now since the server uses the original file size instead of generating smaller images with a much bigger file size.

    Unfortunately, the mobile version is terribly slow. Same issue as before: by generating smaller Images the file size explodes. Pictures with 360 kb blow up to 950 kb on the mobile site wich slows down the entire website. I do not understand why images being resized for mobile would become much bigger in file size. The purpose of the responsive generating of pictures should be the opposite.

    I assume that setting the image quality to 80% in Lay options would lead to pictures with an originated small file size but when used on the mobile site the server would still create versions with bigger data sizes. Also a picture of 360 kb will have quite some loss of quality when set to 80%.

    Does anyone have the same issue? I never had problems with image sizes at any of the websites I developed with Lay Theme.

    Thank you for your help

    Dear @Tstudios

    This is very possible using CSS with 'border-top' applied to the element.

    Are you able to post a link to your website and i can help further with this 🌻

    Dear @karimus1888

    This should be possible using the 'stack' element within the Gridder, you may have to apply some Custom CSS to arrange it if necessary.

    Apologies that i cannot go into further detail at this time @karimus1888 but talk soon & best wishes ✨

    Dear Hans @Hans-Pelle

    This is possible with some custom coding, but not with the current built-in Customizer options.

    It would require two images to be loaded with each thumbnail.
    You may wish to seek the aid of a developer if needed.

    Also the documentation page will help you further:

    Best wishes and have a wonderful day Hans 🌼

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
