Hi there,

I know that on each page you can set the background image separately.
When you set it in the CUSTOMIZER it appears on ALL pages. Only if you set a background colour on a specific page it will overwrite the background image set in the CUSTOMIZER.

My problem though is, that one can only set a different background image for each page as a ROW background image. The background image in the customizer works differently though, because it stays motionless/fixed while scrolling, and the page content moves. I would want the same effect for all my pages but with different background images for different pages. is that possible? The ROW background image is quite hard to work with because it either forces you to work a lot with stacking or you have to cut your background image into multiple pieces...

Thankful for help! :)
All the best!!!

I have a question concerning this topic as well.

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to customise the position of the burger menu (overlay) in more detail. I only see the edit option ‘space around’ but I would actually need to edit ‘space on top’ and ‘space on the right’ separately to match my design. Is there a way to do this?
Is there also a way to make the burger menu (overlay) work with a mouseover? currently it only works for me with a click

Or can I upload an icon for the normal primary menu? So far I have only been able to find out how to use the primary menu with a clickable font.

Thanks for your help!

Hi again,

I've been trying to enable the automatic update for the Lay Theme, as it would likely help resolve the current bugs on the website. However, I haven't been able to activate it. I followed the steps in your screenshot from another forum post (see first screenshot) and tried researching further, but I still can’t find an option to enable it (see second and third screenshot from my settings).

Could you help me with this? Do you have any idea why it might not be working?

Best regards,
Jana

Okay, I'll request another update since I don’t have the rights to update the Lay Theme myself. But I have a general question—I've noticed in the Lay Theme version history that there are sometimes multiple updates within a single week. These updates aren’t applied automatically, are they? I’m just wondering what the best approach might be to stay up-to-date with them because it seems like the versions aren't always compatible..?

.... and also, when I create new pages for this website with in the updated Lay Theme, the same error report appears.

Hi,

recently the university I work for updated the Lay Theme for a Website I am currently building. The update made quite a big leap because, unfortunately, the Lay Theme hadn't been updated for a long time before that (see screenshots). Now I have a problem, as I had already built several pages for the website using the older version and I can’t open these pages at all in the updated version now – the following error message keeps appearing: "There's a critical error on your website"

The Error Log:

[23-Oct-2024 06:08:24 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method LayThemeImagehover::getImageFromMarkup2() in /nfs/projekt/kunst2022/http/docs/kunst/wp-content/themes/lay721/frontend/assets/php/layout.php:745

Hi again,

unfortunately, I don’t have the permissions to upload the new lay.zip myself, as I only have a standard user login and am not an administrator. However, the person with admin rights uploaded the new lay.zip today, and now we’re experiencing major issues with the websites we had already built using the previous version.
Can you help us identify the problem and suggest how we can fix this?

Thanks und best regards

Thanks @alasdair17!
Yes, I am working with a license key, but no option to update is displayed in my dashboard.

Hi,

I want to create a burger menu following the tutorial I found here: https://laytheme.com/tutorials/create-a-desktop-burger-menu-or-info-overlay.html
But my current issue is, that I can't seem to follow this tutorial because I do not have the possibility to activate the overlay feature:

What could be the root of this issue?
I thought it might me due to an old version of Lay Theme, but the Admin of the institution I am working for told me there are no updates available in their Dashbord right now. This following screenshot shows the version I am currently working with - I don't quite know if its Version 3.2.3 or 6.5.5 but looking at the Lay Theme Version history both are now outdated, right? So I am wondering why no updates seem to be available in the Dashboard. Could the issue also stem from missing Addon Updates?

Is there any other way to create a burger menu? I generally am struggling with creating a simple Drop Down Menu with some kind of Icon that functions as the "navigation knot".

Thanks for your help!!!
