    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 🌻

    Sincerely Richard

    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 🌼

    Dear Natalie @natalieee

    If you have a domain registered and hosted by Dreamhost that also has Wordpress installed, there should be no issue in using Laytheme. Installing it within your Theme directory:

    Appearance > Themes >

    As for deleting any previous domains or websites, this shouldn't be necessary if on a different domain altogether. If issue is related to you activating your License key on a new domain - this can be remedied by contacting licensekeys@laytheme.com and asking to reset your key manually.

    I hope i have understood correctly Natalie, apologies if i have misunderstood.

    Talk soon & have a wonderful day 🌸

    Sincerely
    Richard

    @felix_rabe

    I bought this plugin. There you can set up different profiles for different backend users depending on what they will be able to see in the dashboard etc.

    Additionally you can add custom css in the plugin where you can hide laygridder options. Use the web inspector of your browser to detect specific classes and Id's you want to hide away and add

    display:none !important

    Takes a little while but works pretty well. At the end you can export your settings and import them on another client's website.

    Dear @AUR

    Currently i cant access your site, ( Im quite sure this is a problem on my end sorry )

    When specifying the 'color' of the text you likely need to go into further detail with your CSS, targeting both 'a' (links) & <span> (commonly used for text). E.G

    a, span{ color:white; ) Hope this helps & best wishes 🌻 Richard

    Hey everybody.

    So I set up google analytics by myself today and looked at how it works.
    Turns out, nowadays there's nothing we specific we need to do to make it work with Lay Theme.

    Just the standard way of setting it up is enough.

    I still created a YouTube video though so you can see how to set it up cause it can be a little bit confusing.

    https://youtu.be/tTM-_OFuVk4

    The video is being uploaded so it should be avaiable in a few minutes.

    Have a great day

    @Richard since you can hold shift and select all content in the grinder with one click, I think this issue is resolved.

    The code snipped is tested and works with a vertical slider. If yours is a horizontal one you probably need to change the direction:

    jQuery.fn.fullpage.moveSectionDown()

    to

    jQuery.fn.fullpage.moveSlideRight()

    Write me a pm if you need further help.

    Dear @gridch

    If needing to cover the entire window (like a background image) then looking in Viewport Units may be very helpful:

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
