    Hi all,

    I am going to work for a client that wants a one-pager site.

    1. He wants to have text on top of the images, and I would prefer to not 'paste' it in to the image, but have it on top of the image. Does anyone have a solution to this OR is is already possible within Laytheme, if yes: how?

    2. Another thing we want is to have a full width image (so no gridder margin on left and right side of the image). We do want the rest of the site to have a margin left and right. But we don't want it to be a full screen slider, it has to be integrated in the design. Any solutions?

    Sorry if these are common asked questions or if it's already possible... please let me know. :-) Cheers!

      Hey elinezijffers!

      There is not an official way yet to have image captions above the images.

      What you can try is the following:

      Give your image a caption by using the caption module in the Gridder:

      0_1490282331044_Bildschirmfoto 2017-03-23 um 16.17.19.png

      Then you already have the caption under the image

      0_1490282375401_Bildschirmfoto 2017-03-23 um 16.19.07.png

      To now get the caption above the image is a bit tricky but not really impossible. You need to know some jQuery to do this.
      First you need to get the height of the image with $(.image).height(); and then you need to move the div box with the caption up according to the height you got.

      You can build a small loop to go trough each image which you have placed in the Gridder and move the caption up.

      This is a bit difficult for me to imagine.
      Can you upload a quick example of the design?

      In the Gridder you can select the margin on the right and the left:

      0_1490282824656_Bildschirmfoto 2017-03-23 um 16.24.54.png

      I hope I could help – let me know if you have further questions.

      All the best!

        Hi, thanks! Going to try this... seems a little bit of a hassle to do it that way. Probably easier to upload an image with text :-)

          Hey elinezijffers,

          yes. It is some hassle :-)

          But if your promised it to a client and he pays you a lot of money for it – it might be worth it.
          If it is just for yourself – it is always possible to find another solution which looks fine as well.

          Good luck with it :-)

          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
