    —— 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 Is there a reason people settle for the basic, outdated layout options of Wordpress' default nav?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!

            I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
            💿 Email me here: 💿
            info@laytheme.com

            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
