Hi @arminunruh / @mariusjopen

I’ve received a critical error since attempting to upgrade to Lay Theme 3.0 – this is very concerning! I can now only access the site in recovery mode.

Please see screenshot of an email received from WordPress, giving details of the error. Also attached is a screenshot of my website with the message which now appears in the browser window!

As I said, it’s very concerning, hope this is looked into with urgency.

Thanks, D

@mariusjopen Thanks Marius – very useful to know!

Hi Armin,

A client of mine has got in touch with me regarding an issue.

Within the WP admin area / Lay Element Grid, any images which have a text caption underneath them appear to be duplicated.

This is just in the admin area, the duplicated text captions do not appear on the actual live site — thankfully.

I disabled all the plugins and any custom code, but the duplicated text issue still appears.

I’m assuming this might be a bug?

The url of my client’s site is: planit-ie.com

Below are some screenshots of the issues mentioned.

Let me know if you need any further info / details.

Hope you can help.

Thanks!

Hey Armin,

Would it be possible to have a custom html mobile site title option, in addition to the image and text options, please? The custom html option is already available in the customiser for the desktop version of Lay, but would be also useful for mobiles too, if possible!

Thanks!
D

Hey @arminunruh,

Just following this up, please see above…

I’ve just updated to the latest version of Lay (4.9.9) — but still getting the same issues with image caption texts duplicating in the element grid.

As mentioned above, I disabled all plugins and turned off any custom code, but the issues still appear.

Can this be looked into, please?

I had a similar issue to this recently too. I can upload WOFF and WOFF2 files into the media library, but when it comes to adding webfonts via Lay Options it didn’t recognise / give the option of adding the WOFF files but did recognise the WOFF2 files. I tried this with different fonts too and the same issue occurred — can not add the WOFF versions, but can add for the WOFF2 versions.

Hey Armin,

Thanks very much for sending the latest version.

I’m still getting the same critical error message, when I try to activate Lay theme.

I’ve been in contact with hosting support, but they seem to think to think it’s related to Lay, rather than their hosting configuration.

Would it be possible for me to send you the site login details and cPanel info to take a look, please? It’s a bit beyond my knowledge.

Thanks again!

Hi Armin,

I purchased a new Pro License for Lay theme last week. When downloaded (via Gumroad) and installed I received a WordPress critical error message. When looking at the version of the theme downloaded, it’s version v4.6 — not the most recent version of Lay. Could that have caused the issue?

I did manage to change the theme from Lay back to one of the WP default themes (2022 theme), via the cPanel login, so I’m assuming it could be an issue with Lay theme?

Let me know if you require any further info.

Thanks, D

Hi @Richard / @arminunruh,

I’m currently trying to edit / add captions to individual images within the Element Grid, This feature no longer seems to be an option, as the ‘Edit’ and ‘Edit Caption’ buttons are greyed out within the Element Grid interface — please see attached screenshot.

As you can see from the screenshot each image within the grid has its own individual caption — I no longer have the option to edit the captions, or add captions to new images placed within the grid.

Has this feature been ‘deliberately’ been disabled? Or could it be a bug? Or perhaps, I’ve missed something that enables me to enable this feature? I know for sure it used to be available.

This is the url which relates to the screenshot, and shows the captions below the images on the Element Grid: https://nataliebradbury.co.uk/publishing/

Many thanks,

D

Hi there,

I’m trying to figure out how to have a specific fullscreen image (100vh) fixed when scrolling.

This Lay theme website is a perfect example of what I’m trying to implement:
http://bodyandspace.de
When scrolling down the second to last row is fixed (with a fullscreen image), so it looks like it’s behind the rows above. The last row then scrolls over the second to last fixed row. I’ve inspected the code for this site, but can’t seem to figure it out.

I know how to make a full screen image (or another element) fixed using custom HTML / CSS, but this just appears fixed in the first row. So I’m assuming there is a way to target a specific row element further down?

Any pointers / direction or help, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much, Des

Thanks so much @Richard – much appreciated!

Hi @Richard

Just reading this forum post and thread from last year with interest, as I’m having similar issues.

I have my sitetitle and nav fixed with mix-blend-mode: difference; applied in CSS. This works perfectly fine in Safari, Firefox, and mostly in Chrome apart from one page, this one…

https://deslloydbehari.co.uk/information/

The page has a CSS gradient animation applied in the background, with the page background set to transparent in Gridder. The ‘overall site’ background is set to white in WP’s admin (Appearance > Customise > Background). If I do set the background to white for this particular page in Gridder it, of course, overrides the gradient animation. So I’m wondering if there’s a workaround for this? Could I set the background to white in Gridder, so Chrome recognises this, but still have the gradient animation ‘on top’ somehow? Perhaps using z-index?

The issue with ‘mix-blend-mode’ not working with transparent backgrounds in Chrome is well documented, but the latest updates do not seem to address this.

Ironically in Chrome for iOS, the gradient animation works perfectly with the fixed sitetitle and desktop style menu on mobiles! So I’m guessing there might be a fix?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Des
