      —— Apologies if this question has already been asked on here. I had a bit of a search and couldn't find anything. ——

      TL;DR
      Can Gridder/Lay theme be used to determine the position of Nav items?

      Verbose
      I haven't made the purchase yet and am kind of holding off because I can't find clarification around one feature that's really key for me (from a visual point at least).

      This is: Having items in the main nav follow the same global grid rules at the content that sits below. Examples:
      studiosouth.co.nz
      platoon.studio

      You'll notice the navs' on these sites don't anchor to the right or to the hard left, or not even to the left with an offset for a logo image. Rather, their position is set based on a global grid.

      I'm finding it really difficult to dig up any info on the above 'feature' for any Wordpress related theme/CSS/tool etc. So if Lay/Gridder can't achieve this and anyone knows of another way, please do tell.

      Cheers

        Dear @Demian
        this is not a default setting of LayTheme.

        To achieve this: http://www.studiosouth.co.nz/
        You could hack it though by creating a footer page and use CUSTOM CSS and CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT to style it like you need it to be.

        To achieve this: https://platoon.studio/
        You might succeed by editing the navigation menu with CUSTOM CSS.

        But both times you need to figure out a couple of tricks to get close to your goal.

        Hope I could help!

        Best!

          Well, it's not the answer I was hoping for, but at least I know where I stand :)

          Thanks all the same. Time to find a developer I guess!

          No chance you'll add this to Lay theme in the future? As mentioned, it seems to be missing altogether in the
          world of Wordpress themes. Is there a reason people settle for the basic, outdated layout options of Wordpress' default nav? Is it too difficult to code verses pay off?

            @mariusjopen Now that I've taken the 'leap', bought Lay Theme and had a play around with Word Press for the first time I realise that what I was asking can all be done with Lay Theme's multi menu option and Wordpress' positional options, ie. Align Top-Left at position 25% and 50% etc to follow a 4 grid for example.

            Maybe I was over complicating my request with the supplied URLs? In any case, all taken care of now.

              Dear @Demian
              ah great! Happy you found it.
              LayTheme is pretty good to customize.

              Glad you found the way.

              Best!

              Before you post

              Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

              1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
              2. Disable all Plugins
              3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
              4. Now see if your problem solved itself
              5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
              Troubleshooting

              When you post:
              1. Post a link to where the problem is
              2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

              Thanks!
