    i will think about a solution to this.
    probably i can somehow turn off autoupdate via code
    cause its enabled by default by wordpress

    ah yea and probably i can switch the forum to https and keep the version history more up to date.

      Hello! Thanks for fast fixing. 3 out of 7 client websites crashed as they were on Auto update. But it affected it in different ways (2 fully down, 1 just the admin panel access).

      How can I install the corrected issues version without access to the Admin Panel? I no longer have access to the panel because of the error. Quite urgent, people are panicking as their business rely on it. Thanks!

        basically you would access their FTP
        go to wp-content / themes

        and rename the folder "lay" to a different foldername

        then you will be able to access wp-admin again.
        in wp-admin go to appearance - themes and delete the faulty theme
        and install the one that works
        https://kernl-file-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/14-08-2025/05-42-39/lay.zip

        if you dont have FTP access, you can get the FTP credentials through their webhost control panel

        often webhost control panels also provide webftp, where you can just click through their FTP without having to get the credentials

            Ok Thanks — Can I just check this will keep all existing Theme settings, Page Layouts, Content and CSS? No changes. Eg. The 'old' or existing site will be as was.

                Yes, everything will stay there. I solved the problem through database:

                1. Switch to an old theme:
                  UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentytwentyfive' where option_name = 'template';
                  UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentytwentyfive' where option_name = 'stylesheet';
                2. Login to Admin, delete the faulty theme
                3. Re-install Lay, activate theme

                      Anyways. Shit happens. Didn’t want to be in your skin yesterday ;)
                      Glad you’ve reacted quickly though.

                      Just a wish from my side: Please keep people informed if such a major issue happened. You have the licensees email addresses also for that reason.

                      The time you’ve discovered a major break happened and as well when it's been fixed, including a guide on how to restore functionality.

                          I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

                          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
