      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,
      C

        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.

          Thanks for a fast reply!

          Ah, then I know why it didn't work. No worries.

          I'll share my experience with you later when I have tested the theme more.

          Have a nice day!

            Try this to fix issues 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!
