    The main Problem is the menu. When having a smaller browser window or smaller screen the menu points will cover images and text. I have the menu set in a vertical position on the left of the website.

    I would somehow need the Menu ( and the whole Website) to scale along with the size of the browser/ screen (I work on a 15 inch).

    The biggest problem is on my about page...

    Thanks in advanced.

      Dear @Elli

      This happens due to you using 'px' pixels as your default font-size, Pixels are good for certain uses, but they always remain the same 'pixel' size even when you resize your window which, yes can lead to clashes.

      There are options within your 'Text formats' to select a % value instead which should scale better (more responsive) - Also if something further is needed you could look into VW - Viewport width.

      With vw's the size of you text will be calculated based on the width of the users browser window (viewport).

      Hope this helps Elli and have a wonderful day :)

        I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
        šŸ’æ Email me here: šŸ’æ
        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
