    Hi there,

    Hope you are are doing fine.
    I wanted to know if there is possible to add/create some kind of coming soon page, while you edit/design the website?

    Thanks
    :)

      @pandeli you can just create this page by yourself and set it as Front Page in the customizer. disable the menu for this page by custom css so the visitors can't navigate.

          @Richard Hi and thank you both for the replies.

          Well, I tried as you said,

          I created a 'Coming Soon' page, then I added it as Front Page in Costumizer.

          Then I pasted the CSS, and still the menu and title appears.

          Screenshot 2021-07-19 230817.png

          Secondly, I want to make sure if I was correctly understood.

          How will I keep working on the homepage if the 'Front Page' is set to 'Coming Soon'[page] ?

          Thank you,
          :)

              Thanks @funeral-studio ! 🌝


              @pandeli

              The code: slug-yourfrontpage Must be altered to the name of your page.

              If you are not comfortable with 'Developer Tools' you can find this 'slug' via a Project or Page's Permalink. In the Image below you can see the page has a permalink with /project-filter/ this will very likely be your 'slug' also. This means my code would be .slug-project-filter : Screen Shot 2021-07-21 at 1.24.03 PM.png


              Good luck @pandeli remember the Documentation page if you are unsure as well as Google! 🌝

              Sincerely

                Thank you very much! Sorry my coding knowledge isnt that good xx

                Well, I was curious as well, on how do I proceed with designing the 'Home'[page] in costumizer while the Front Page is set to 'Coming Soon'[page]?

                  Dear @pandeli

                  I think i see the dilemma there. You could open two Customizer tabs in your browser. Firstly go to your desired page to work upon (customize) then in another tab go and set your homepage to the "Coming soon page" then hit publish. Now you can exit this tab. You can continue working on your desired page like this i believe yes? 🌝

                  Best wishes & have a great day 🏖

                    @Richard yet he has to change the front-page every time he saves the changes in the customizer. MAYBE armin can incorporate a "show page XYZ" feature in the customizer, so you can directly choose the page to display from a list. I would love this because the customizer is not really meant/made for navigation. for example, when you use the browser back button you don't navigate back in the website but you get back to your Wordpress dashboard.

                          Thank you for the Valid input, I agree the Customizer has some UI issues with Navigation. I personally have always found ways around this, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.

                          This has been added to the Development notes & forwarded to Armin ✅


                          Have a great day both of you, & thank you for supporting Lay Theme ✨

                            Hm i think there are "coming soon" plugins for wordpress you could use.

                            Also if you'd create a coming soon page and set it as a frontpage, you could still create a new page that will be your future frontpage. Just for now it wouldn't be set as the frontpage in the customizer.

                            You could create a link in your menu in appearance -> menus to access that page that is going to be your frontpage.

                            the customizer controls aren't really meant for navigating the website

                              HI @arminunruh !

                              I set my custom "coming soon page" page as a frontpage via "customize".
                              Then i put this css in "custom CSS" in lay option:
                              .slug-coming-soon-page nav { display:none; }
                              .slug-coming-soon-page .sitetitle { display:none; }

                              Sitetitle and menu have disappeared but the navbar remain. How can I hide this header (the green bar in the screenshot) - only for this coming soon page?

                              ![alt text](f78016d0-101f-4166-a2af-cbe2b8474d1a-image.png image url)

                                3. Disable all Plugins
                                4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

                                3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
