    Good evening. I have a problem with the overlay function. I’m using project overlays here: Majvanderlinden.com/artists
    When I load a project here—meaning an artist—it opens as an overlay. Then I click on “See Collection” and get an overview of their works. If I then click on a specific work and later go back to “See Collection” to view all their works again, it opens as a regular page instead of an overlay.

    In my case, it would also be okay if the underlying overlays were reset. However, I always need the projects to open as overlays.

    Is there a way to set the number of overlays somewhere? Does it overload the site?

    Thanks and best regards.
    P.S. Compliments on this template!

      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.
      💿 Email me here: 💿

      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
