Hello! Lay Theme looks really interesting and I am curious to try it out soon, just a general question after watching the Youtube Tutorial: Is it right that all blogging functionality is disabled with the use of the theme? What if I would like to have a section "Blog" where I can have a regular WP-native blog behaviour?
-
Blog integration?

Hey!
Yeah there's no blogging, it's just for portfolios. I'm thinking about coding a gridder wordpress plugin one day that works with any normal WordPress theme. Can take a while though ^^ -
@Tobias Hey, I managed to open a "blog" section on some of the websites I designed with Lay, by creating a "Blog" category, add it to the main menu and then create "blog posts" only in that category.
Latest example: http://ioanacasapu.com/category/stories/ - but there are only images and text, no sharing options yet ([wink,wink] @arminunruh) and no comments.
But it works pretty well, as a news section or latest stories section - if you don't need comments and sharing options.
Also you can start a tumblr as a blog and add it's link to the main menu on the website and use a subdomain to hide the .tumblr.com domain...
My 2 cents...

Hey Armin, did you successfully think about coding a gridder wordpress plugin? I'm still building a new portfolio with Lay Theme and would love to integrate blogging functionality.
-
hey martin, gonna start coding a gridder wordpress plugin soon. To be honest, I wanted to start working on it already last year, but I had so many other freelance jobs…
-
Looking forward!

Working on at my new portfolio and honestly waiting for Armin's gridder wordpress plugin. If you would like to see the work in progess visit: www.martinmaier.com/wp

@arminunruh Hey Armin, I like to buy your theme. But a Blog-Function is very important to me, Not at least because of the SEO. Is there anything new? Is blogging possible, now? Thanks in advance! Peter

Hi @Peter111
a blog is still not integrated into LayTheme.
You can use the Gridder Plugin though.
