Front page empty

[arminunruh]

Hey sam! Have you tried the steps in troubleshooting here?
http://laytheme.com/troubleshooting.html

Maybe it works if you go to permalinks, make sure "postname" is selected and click save.

Hi,
´i fear i ran into a similar problem as august VII: although first the front page with the project thumbs are showing up fine, but when clicking on the logo (site title image) all the project thumbs disappear. i have the a menu structure as a left over from the theme i tried before, and the "project" - page is set as my front page, i deleted the post page, because no need for that. Now, do i really have to switch themes again to get frontpage options in customize? :O and lose all the work on the projects i've done so far? isn't there some work around?
thank you for any help!

Hey,
Can u send me a link please?

Hm there should be the frontpage option in "customize" no matter if you used another theme before or not.

If you switch to another theme your lay theme projects and layouts will not get lost.

Hey johanna. There is an error in your custom javascript:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

  jQuery(window).resize(handleResize);
  handleResize();

  function scaleToParent(elem){
    var $elem = jQuery(elem);
    var $parent = jQuery($elem).parent();

    var pW = $parent.width();
    var pH = $parent.height();

    var eW = $elem.width();
    var eH = $elem.height();

    var factor = pW/eW;

    $elem.css({
      'transform': 'scale('+factor+')',
      'transform-origin': 'left top',
      '-webkit-transform': 'scale('+factor+')',
      '-webkit-transform-origin': 'left top',
      '-moz-transform': 'scale('+factor+')',
      '-moz-transform-origin': 'left top'
    });

    $parent.css({
    	'height': $elem.outerHeight(true)*factor+'px'
    });
  }

Should end with:
);

Thats why theres an error

Hi Armin, that doesn't seem to help, deleting the curly brace or deleting the whole java script or the whole plugin – no difference. actually in firefox it works, but not in chrome nor safari or ie.
Please note: i moved my site to www.chamozolana.com
Thank you for your help, Johanna

Hey johanna,
Can you please try this:
Go to Customize -> Frontpage.
Set the frontpage to a category. Save. Then please set the frontpage to that page that you have as your frontpage now.

It seems that your logo is linked to an empty category page, but the frontpage that you set loads another page.
Maybe the steps above fix that. If that doesn't work can you please send me the login to your wordpress admin via chat?

[johanna]

Hi Armin,

as mentioned above, frontpage options are missing from my customize menu

[arminunruh]

Hey johanna, can you please send me your wordpress admin login data via chat?

[elvin]

The frontpage option also seems to be missing from my menu. Any idea?

[arminunruh]

Hey, yea we had this problem with the other site too. What I did was deactivate lay theme there and switch to another theme. Then with that theme activated another frontpage option showed up, I set it to the default and switched back to lay theme.

[elvin]

That worked, thanks!

Hey there, I have a similar problem: no front page is seen, also no live preview in the customizer.
When I try to access my site franziskaebert.de it's not accessible at all.
By going to http://franziskaebert.de/category/work/ everything's there, plus when you click on the site title it directs to franziskaebert.de in which case it's working (with the work category page as my front page). Where is my mistake?

[arminunruh]

Hey franziska!
When I visit this address http://franziskaebert.de/ then I see the default message of your webhost that's saying like "a new web presence will come here soon".
Can you connect to your ftp with filezilla and see if theres a file called index.html? That could be the file of that webhost notification. You could try to delete that and then see if it works. You could also write your webhost about that if this doesn't help. Cool site u did btw

[franziska]

Aaah, finally! That solved the problem. Thank you so much!

Hey !
Similar problem here, with nothing appearing but the menu in front page for this site: www.guiltypleasure.fr, the front page is supposed to be the "latest" page from the menu, wich is set as homepage. I set it as the static front page in the settings, when I switched to another theme than laytheme to access the frontpage settings in the customizing tools, because I also can't see it with laytheme.

Any idea how I could fix this ?

Many thanks !

[Adele]

When I access the page www.guiltypleasure.fr it's a blank page with menu only, the rest is working, especially the Latest page wich is set as frontpage, and has the same URL. Page becomes blank again when clicking the site title logo.

[arminunruh]

hey adele, you already wrote me an email, in your case i will need to get access to your wp-admin to take a closer look. let's communicate via email.

probably it is enough to switch back to the default theme, set the frontpage setting to the default setting and then switch back to laytheme

[Adele]

Hey Armin, I saw my collaborator contacted you via mail and now it's solved, so many thanks for your time!
For the others to know, I couldn't set the frontpage settings right with that theme-switching-trick because the Customizer didn't work properly, due of a Wordpress bug. Problem was the two urls of the -> General -> Settings were not the same.

I think there is help for this here too: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-existent-changeset-uuid/

Cheers!
