Lay Theme Forum

hey, you could maybe add a caption to each image on the carousel and place it to the right hand side and within the caption type 'close' or 'x' and then link it back to your front page or photography page?

@dmncn hmm interesting, not too sure, probably need to ask armin! The workaround works fine for me but yeah would be nice for the search function to get some new features.

@dmncn No problem, I think the search results only find the project title and project tags. I don't think it finds words from the project description.

Try adding these, “Cantina, dei, Colli, Ripani” as individual tags and see how that works for you.

hey, I ran into this issue lately too, the search results only really find the project's title or project's tags but I found a workaround if for example you have a project titled:

"north atlantic ocean"

you would put in the tags separated by commas:

"north, atlantic, ocean"

and this way the search result will find your project if you typed in just "atlantic" or "ocean". You could also add more tags that are related to your project but isn't the actual title like, "water" or "waves". Perhaps these words could be from your project description.

Unsure that the search function can show search results from full project descriptions but if you add lots of individual tags to the project the search function will find your project in more ways than just the first word or typing the full project title.

Basically just add lots of individual words as tags, but I think if you add too many it can break the Project Thumbnail Grid Filter system if you were using it.

Hope that helps a little,

Cheers.

just realised I can use the 'always show mouseover state' option for 'behaviour on mobile devices' to sort this but I am also using 'zoom in' so the thumbs on mobile are slightly zoomed in which is fine but do show the descriptions at all times which is good.

Would be nice to have the description show always on mobile but the 'zoom in' effect only applies when you touch the thumbnail but no worries, i'm happy with this solution.

hey @arminunruh

is it possible for project descriptions on mobile to be visible at all times but on desktop they only appear on hover?

cheers,

Al

Be grateful for this feature when possible!

hey, I would suggest using the shortpixel plugin, it bulk optimises images and has the option to use webp which is great for loading times too without compromising quality too much.

any chance of this @arminunruh? thanks

@charleyray might be something to do with your 'intro' being activated?

hi @arminunruh last update on this: i spoke to the server technicians and they said:

thought you might be interested in seeing it.

i did a fresh wp install and was all working fine again until i created a new category and assigned projects to it and then returned to the thumbnail grid to switch off the new category and thats when it vanishes from the grid.

i've tried numerous things but just going to have to deal with the thumbnail grid not loading on the gridder which is fine really as still works on the live website. I started a new wp install which fixed the project thumbnail mouseover.

sorry for so many posts on this.

hi again armin, the 'project mouseover thumbnail' setting is switched on but isn't in the gridder project page, it's just gone, could this be related?

It shows up in the code and when I untick 'display:none' it shows but crashes the wp-admin.

All my other sites on the same host/server are working fine, just seems to be this subdomain causing some issues. hmm...

thanks for fixing this!

One last thing with the search function is, I'm building an overlay page to be used for a menu but the '#search' link doesn't work in the overlay.

As always thanks your help!

so I created a fresh install of wordpress to recreate the issue and it worked fine, no problems, until I imported the xml file of the posts, pages and media and then the issue occurred again. Let me know what you think @arminunruh, my host (Siteground) have an expert care service to take a closer look but it is quite expensive.

I did get this email sent to me which looks unrelated but you might want to see it, regarding the lightbox: See screenshot.

They sent me back this screenshot saying I should speak to you again about it... https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/51070795?key=6e559732e3ee7970c04b5ffef552d5bb

@arminunruh thanks man, I spoke to them and they say it is because there is 'mixed content' on my site. The issue still occurs though after sorting that, hmm, is strange as my other sites don't have this issue.

so with some further troubleshooting, it seems to be only an issue now when i activate the category filter. If I set up a thumbnail grid without the category filter it shows up all the time on the grid but when I add the filter it disappear on the gridder - still shows up on the live page which is the main thing. Just an issue if I want to update the thumbnail grid down the line I need to create a new one. Hope that makes sense.

seems to be working now if i just delete the old thumbnail grid which wasn't showing images and then create a new one.

when I create a new thumbnail grid the old and the new one works until I refresh the page. Just speaking to the server people to see if they can suggest anything.
