    Dear @Savvy

    Are you able to provide any more info about the Installation. Was it installed into > Appearance > Themes? or into the plugin area - also:

    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.

    Talk soon & best wishes Richard

    To anyone reading and clarify a bit more:
    When you drop all the files from your phpmyadmin and replace them with the new .sql, realise the password you now need to enter is the password you used on your earlier website build and not a password you may have set for the new hosting location.

    Dear Steffi @midnightspecial

    "Does the Lay theme also works with the GERMAN Wordpress version"

    The Language set for Wordpress does not affect if you can Install Lay Theme or any other Theme. As long as you have Wordpress CMS installed on your website ( not the wordpress.com hosting package however ) you can install Lay Theme. INFO: https://laytheme.com/installation.html

    "Also, what do I have to do, so I can keep on working on the test page?"

    Are you having trouble working on this page? i may need more clarification sorry.

    Talk soon & best wishes Richard

    Dear @Warul-Kawa

    Version 4.0.7 is not out, are you able to update?
    Something going directly into > Appearance > Themes > Lay Theme will prompt the update.

    Dear @stephen

    To clarify, you are referring to a long list of "array offset Value" prompts/code within your Wordpress dashboard?

    Also please make sure of the following for debugging:

    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.

    If you have any screenshots or other relevant information available that may help please also post this πŸ”

    Talk soon Stephen & have a wonderful day 🌞 Richard

    Dear Susanna @reallybadatstuff ( im sure not that bad 🌝)

    I cannot see any problem obvious fix from the front-end of http://www.susanna.studio/

    Could you please make sure of the following:

    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.

    If using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.

    License key not activated - (in website blank situations or button not available)

    If your WordPress Dashboard shows a warning "PHP Update required”
 Please update your PHP version in your webhost control panel.

    Possibly your website is running PHP 8.0 this has been known in some cases to cause issue.

    If none of the above apply to you: Could you please send me your Login details via 'Chat' and i will help by logging in and inspecting further πŸ”

    NOTE: Please do not disclose private info via this thread

    Talk soon Susanna and have a wonderful day πŸ– Sincerely Richard

    Dear @hugak

    Yes some clarification that may help.
    There is wordpress.com which is a wordpress hosting / web package all in one. You do not need to delete this account, however it wont work with Lay Theme unfortunately.

    If you go to wordpress.org ( i know a little confusing ) you are able to download the free program; "Wordpress ( CMS or: content management system ).
    This is free software and separated from Wordpress.com the hosting/account service.

    Many websites use "wordpress" the CMS and install it on their domains, in fact many hosting providers E.g dreamhost - have "one-click installs" to add to your website.

    As stated on Lay Theme's installation page: https://laytheme.com/installation.html
    Lay Theme will work on any Wordpress except the specialised wordpress.com / hosting package all in one version.

    Hope this provides some helpful insight @hugak it can be confusing i know with how Wordpress the company has structured this .com / .org situation.

    Sincerely Richard

    Dear @BorisL

    Have you only purchased the Lightbox Addon and not 'Laytheme'? The Addon is an 'extension' that must be added to Laytheme.

    Laytheme = Main install
    Lightbox = Attachment or - Addon

    Laytheme is installed into:

    Appearance > Themes

    The Lightbox Addon is installed into:

    Plugins > Upload

    Talk soon & best wishes

    Dear @May27

    Hope the following link helps:

    https://laytheme.com/troubleshooting.html#installation-missing-stylesheet

    Best wishes
    Richard

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
