Can you embed a page?

[barakat]

Hello, thanks for making this theme and tool.

I'd like to essentially "embed" two different pages on my home page grid.

I tried with a shortcode https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-pages/, but it only renders the title of each page, and not the entre "lay theme grid content" of that page. The idea is that I can reuse pages as "blocks" and arrange them with the laygridder tool.

<div class="left"> [insert page='page1'] </div>
<div class="right"> [insert page='page2'] </div>

If shortcodes aren't the way, is there an alternative approach with Lay theme to recommend?

I could insert the pages with JavaScript. But then the laytheme scripts would also need to run again, like lazyloading images, once the HTML has been inserted. Is there a function for this?

can you try enabling:

lay options → content filter

at the bottom

maybe then it could work

why do you want to embed two pages?

Thank you. But the setting didn't seem to affect this?

I wanted to embed the two pages to reuse them. So I can show them off both at the homepage in a 50/50 layout, but also as standalone pages.

• I have two category pages: dinosaurs and birds
• Each with a nice gridder layout
• Homepage (or whatever page) renders/embeds the two pages in its own gridder layout

If I did the dinos and birds directly on the homepage layout I can't reuse it. Like show birds on /birds as well.

Let me try to put it another way:

as on https://laytheme.com/tutorials/create-a-splitscreen-website.html, where you essentially choose a "page" to embed on one side via the footer option, I'd like to also choose a page for the other side.

[arminunruh]

the page on the right side is always just the page you're on

and the page on the left side is always whatever footer page you chose

you know

in lay options → footers

you can select these boxes where it says:
"Show a select input in the Project Edit Screen to choose a Footer for individual Projects"

then for each project/page/category you can choose a different footer page.
so this way you can have different pages that show on the left side of the splitscreen layout

and whatever page you're on will always be on the right side

there are no other settings for this, so im not sure if that covers your use case
