      Hello LayTheme team,

      I am not able to set the front page via "Customizer" on this site:
      https://maschinenraum.hs-augsburg.de/2019

      Is it because Wordpress is running in a subfolder "2019" of the domain? Furthermore there is a JS error in the console because somethings directs to "https://maschinenraum.hs-augsburg.de/wp-json/laytheme/search/" instead of "https://maschinenraum.hs-augsburg.de/2019/wp-json/laytheme/search/".

      Thanks,
      Andreas

        Well yes and no.

        If you setup wordpress to run in that subfolder and wordpress knows that its URL is 'https://maschinenraum.hs-augsburg.de/2019' then everything should be fine.

        But it looks like that you setup that subdomain afterwards, am I right?

        If so you might need to migrate the Database (with the new URL) and tell Wordpress what its URL is. For the database it’s best to follow Armin’s instructions over here.
        To tell wordpress its new URL you could add the following entries to your wp-config:

        define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://your-wordpress-URL' );
        define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://your-wordpress-URL' );
        

        Or you can do that in the backend under Settings / General.

        But please be sure to follow Armins moving a laytheme tutorial if any of the above applies to your situation.

            Thanks for your answer.
            I re-installed now Wordpress again without a subfolder:
            https://maschinenraum.hs-augsburg.de

            Anyway I am not able to set the front page. Everything else is working fine.
            Any ideas?

            Thank you,
            Andreas

              Dear @amuxel
              you have to set the frontpage in the CUSTOMIZER and not in the normal settings page.

              Hope that helped!

              Best!

                I already tried it and the option is not there in the Customizer.

                Thanks

                  Do you have the latest version of LayTheme and Wordpress running?

                    I have the latest Wordpress (5.0.3–de_DE) installed and LayTheme 2.7.4. There is no option "Front Page" in the Customizer. I also get an error in the JS console of my browser (see image attached). As mentioned earlier, when I use WP theme "Twenty Nineteen" I can set the front page via WP settings.

                      Ok. Just tested it in Chrome browser instead of Safari and here the option is available. It's strange and I have no idea why, but the problem is kind of solved now.

                      Thanks for the support and best,
                      Andreas

                        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!
