Child Theme
-
Hi,
Thanks for letting me in!
I'm pretty new to WP and I tried to install the theme as a child theme (https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
When I'd done the steps and tried to activate the theme the site is just went blank (white background).
Do you know why? I have most certainly done something stupid. :)
Best,

Hey!
Sorry, Lay Theme doesn't support Child Themes :sweat:.
Why do you want to install it as a Child Theme? Do you want to customize Lay Theme further by adding your own code?I guess so.
In many ways Lay Theme is a lot different than a normal WordPress Theme. The frontend is a Single Page App made with Backbone js and Marionette js. The content of the website is retrieved through a JSON API http://wp-api.org/. No WordPress php templates other than index.php, footer.php and header.php are used.
All of the JavaScript is minified and therefore not really editable.

Cool! Yeah let me know how your experience was.
I think there are still things to improve.Have a nice day too!
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. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
Now see if your problem solved itself.
