    case 1: If you mean you just want captions under your videos, you can just click on the video in the gridder and then click the button 'Edit caption' case 2: You mean you want to have posts that have titles in your admin panel, and you want to show a page that is just a list of all the contents of that post? In that case: If you go to lay options, you can activate "news feature". Then you can create multiple news posts in news:. [image: 1745416640601-screenshot-2025-04-23-at-15.57.17.png] And then the gridder, add the news element. [image: 1745416739350-screenshot-2025-04-23-at-15.58.56.png] And as layout choose show full content. [image: 1745416762827-screenshot-2025-04-23-at-15.59.19.png] This way, the content of every news post will be shown in the news element. not sure if thats what you mean

    but if you click create custom phone layout, it gives you the option to "stack all elements on top of each other" [image: 1745415954026-screenshot-2025-04-23-at-15.45.51.png] Theoretically, if you insert a new place freely image, you could then just click the three buttons next to the phone icon in the gridder, click 'delete phone layout'. To delete the old phone layout. and then just click the phone icon to create a new phone layout and then click stack elements on top of each other.

    Ensuring optimal image quality and fast loading speed with LayTheme

    lay theme downsizes images to all of these sizes: ['_4096', '_3840', '_3200', '_2560', '_1920', '_1280', '_1024', '_768', '_512', '_265'] it uses wordpress' php functionality to do the resizing. quality and thus images size can be set in: [image: 1745412667884-screenshot-2025-04-23-at-14.51.02.png] image quality. nothing else can be done there. but if you use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/ it will load all these images as webp resulting in a lower image size

    Oh, thanks for the great answers Felix. Yeah, I too think the SVG needs to be white. And then remove the filter invert.

    Hey, doesn't it give you a shortcode? Or some HTML. You can use that with more → shortcode, or more → HTML.

    Hey, there is no option for this because it just takes the HTML of the caption and inside the HTML of the caption, the text format is already set. However, you could use custom CSS. Can you please Google how to use Google Chrome Web Inspector? For example, in Chrome, you could right-click the lightbox caption and then click "Inspect" Here you can see the CSS and CSS selectors that are used. Now you can write your own CSS to change the font family, font size, and more. Put it in Lay Options > Custom CSS and HTML.

    you can use masonry type elementgrid use a couple more columns. then you'll see + and - buttons to change sizes: [image: 1744224185439-screenshot-2025-04-09-at-20.42.59.png] like this, you can make some elements span one column, others can span all columns or like 4 out of 5 or sth like that :DD

    maybe this? remove your other css, only have this css: .grid-inner{ border-radius: 30px!important; } then in custom <head> content: <script> window.laytheme.on('newpageshown', function(){ var bgcolor = jQuery('#grid').css('background-color'); jQuery("#grid .grid-inner").css('background-color', bgcolor); jQuery('#grid').css('background-color', 'transparent'); var bgcolor2 = jQuery('#custom-phone-grid').css('background-color'); jQuery("#custom-phone-grid .grid-inner").css('background-color', bgcolor2); jQuery('#custom-phone-grid').css('background-color', 'transparent'); }) </script> with this js we take the bg color of the grid. we apply it to the inner div. then we set the grid bg color to transparent. we do this for bot normal grids and custom phone layout grids. the css makes the border round.

    thx! can you do a screenrecording where you show where you click and post a link to it here :O maybe like on your dropbox if you have one so the way i implemented it is like this. for project overlays: clicking on a link to a project opens it in an overlay when inside the overlay, clicking on a link that is not a project link: it closes the overlay and loads the page in the underlying space a hard refresh while inside a project will display the project not in an overlay but just as it is when you have opened a project in an overlay, when you click "back" the overlay closes and you land on the page you came from when you are in a project overlay, when you click a link there to a project, that project does not open in a new overlay, the content of the current overlay just gets replaced if any of your pages or footer of these pages or projects have a shortcode, it wont work if any links to a project are custom coded links by you and dont contain the attributes like data-id, data-type etc. clicking them wont open an overlay

I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

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
