    Dear @Giakonkora

    This Featured page is made with the standard Gridder Layout - Video and text elements, no Fullscreen slider or Carousel is present.

    You are right that the Carousel and Fullscreen slider share many similarities, however the important difference:

    With the Carousel you place content into a 'Slide' this could be some text - A video etc. These 'Slides' get made into a 'Carousel' or Slideshow that you can swipe through - An important point is that the carousel can be any size on a page.

    With a Fullscreen slider the 'slides' if you will, are made of the Rows in your Gridder - E.g 8 rows = 8 slides
    There is more ability to create interesting layouts for your individual slides because it takes from the row. Whatever is added to your Gridder Row becomes the Slide.
    Of course the catch is that it is always Fullscreen and you cannot make many 'Fullscreen sliders' within the same view screen
    ( technically you could but this would require some deeper coding )

    Hope this clears things up @Giakonkora :)
    If you have any further questions let me know and have a wonderful day

    Best

    Dear @Elli

    If you wish to have hover images on these links (menu points) it may be easier to create them as text within the Gridder layout.

    Giving the text box a custom ID. You can do this by 'right-click' -- 'Set HTML Class & ID' :
    Screen Shot 2020-11-13 at 9.07.33 AM.png

    Then you could add some Custom CSS to this area of text ( your custom menu ) & make it fixed like a menu would be e.g

    #your-custom-id { position:fixed; left:0; top:0; }

    This would be a simple setup, you can style the menu however you wish to suit your design. Custom CSS can be added in > Lay Options > Custom CSS & HTML

    Also:
    https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling

    With this you can use the Imagehover
    Hope this helps Elli & talk soon

    Dear @julia-i

    Just as a first assumption ( unsure your websites design etc )

    The carousel can have a 'Caption/s' attached underneath, these would act like a title - Is this what you are after?

    Also if you are able to post a link to the example carousel this is always helpful

    Talk soon & have a wonderful day :)

    Sincerely

    Dear @sebon

    Fullscreen Slider works based on the rows in the Gridder, so that particular row has two images instead of 1 Large image.

    Hope this helps!

    Dear @eddieperrote

    I dont think this is possible without doing some extra coding.

    The Project Thumbnail is there, but all the images within that project will not be called upon until triggered by going to that project/page. Some custom coding would need to occur that when either on page load or when a project thumbnail is clicked upon - a call go out to ask for all the image Data connected with that Thumbnail and load it.

    I was also thinking a way to trick it would be to use The Element Grid. The first Image of the Element Grid would be your Project Thumbnail and the rest, the images relating to that project. All the image data is called so thats sorted - Then just add some code that 'display:none' all but the first image in the Grid ( your Project Thumbnail ). This way you could have a page of Element Grids that look like a page of Project Thumbnail's and then when you Click further and Lightbox kicks in your can swipe through the images.

    This means things would require time setting up and also if there are many projects with many images it may slow the page down depending on size and quality.

    I hope these initial thoughts may help you or send you in the right direction - possibly other functions like 'stack' or 'Carousel' can also be manipulated.

    Best wishes and have a wonderful day :)

  • Carousel Navigation - Left & right scroll

    Dear @jfrederick

    Just want to clarify :)
    Using the Carousel but 'set to Fullscreen Slider' mode?
    These are two different Addons,

    Do you mean:
    Using Carousel but 'Use browser height for row height'?

    I think that being able to click outside the Carousel for left and right navigation isn't the best thing as it could lead to many issues depending on a webpages design.

    However you could set the carousel to be full-width and then have the image within not fill the entire width of its slide.
    The slide is clickable and and image within is smaller, so you would have that 'space' left and right of the image that is still clickable.

    Hope this helps & apologies if i haven't understood properly! :)

    Best wishes

    Dear Christian @cschm-tz

    This needs to be thought about as a design issue not a coding issue:

    You want the Menu to start at the same left margin as the page content/text, this is already achieved:

    Font size is responsive so when you re-size the browser/page and text expands - it will go off the edge of page, or the spaces between the menu items will shrink until they clash and go into each other.

    If Font-size is 'px' and stays the same size when page is resized it wont match the font-size of the content ( because content is responsive ). Menu items are pixels and non responsive and will stay the same size - thats its function when using pixels - its 'set'

    This is a design choice that is up to you Christian.

    Best wishes

    Dear @hoopoe

    Unfortunately because you already own the Carousel Files we cannot 'take' them back as a 'return'. you will need to purchase Lightbox if you want it.

    Once again sorry for any inconvenience & best wishes

    Dear @Sirkka-Ammann

    This is unusual so i'm wondering in your situation if any of the following apply to you:

    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 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.

    Also within the 'console' im getting a 404 error - if you could take a look at the link and see if it relates to you please:
    https://laytheme.com/troubleshooting.html#nothing-shows-up

    Talk soon & best wishes :)

    Sincerely

    Dear @Marko-Meth

    No worries! :)
    Have a wonderful day & best of luck with your Project

    Sincerely
    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 → 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
