Lay Theme Forum

This solved it. Thankyou Armin !!

Hey Armin,

I had a look at this but the dimension in the media library are correct.

It doesn't seem to recognize this inside the carousel for some reason

Got it. I have now replaced these with HTML5 videos. Only annoyance is the carousel seems to fix the videos to being 16:9. Two of mine are closer to 4:3. I have tried alot of ways to change this. This html worked but would effect all videos styling. I tried more simpler approaches with simple CSS but couldn't get that to work.

<script>
function fixVideoSlides() {
document.querySelectorAll('.lay-carousel-slide-html5video video').forEach(video => {
video.removeAttribute('data-w');
video.removeAttribute('data-h');
video.removeAttribute('data-ar');
video.style.removeProperty('aspect-ratio');
});

document.querySelectorAll('.lay-carousel-slide-html5video .ph').forEach(ph => {
  ph.style.paddingBottom = '0';
});

}

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', fixVideoSlides);
window.laytheme?.on('newpageshown', () => {
setTimeout(fixVideoSlides, 200);
});
</script>

Any tips?

Hey,

A small thing but I am trying to have my carousel autoplay as it is the homepage of my site. I have decided to include some videos inside this autoplay carousel. With the thinking if you want to watch more of the video you hover over to click play and it pauses the autoplay feature. However in practice clicking play on any video causes the autoplay to initialise and takes you straight out of the video.

any help appreciated !

Thanks,

@arminunruh Thanks alot!

Hey @arminunruh , I'm just tweaking my site and have some projects which are both video & stills in the same project where I also would love to show two different project thumbnails instead of needing to duplicate the project. But all my projects are within a project thumbnail grid where it is not currently possible to change the thumbnails. Do you think this is something that may be possible in the future?

Thanks alot!

Thanks alot, managed to sort that problem out and get a faster hosting plan, wiped all my cache and the site feels a lot more responsive

Hey armin,

thanks for your speedy reply!

The main issue with the site is when using the navigation / menu. Click on let's say 'film' or 'selected projects' and the page not loading at all until I refresh the page.

I read through the tutorial for a server, that is pretty incredible how fast you can make a website using that method. I currently just use 'bluehost' I don't know what tier but I think the most basic as I just have 1 website & generally I do not have lots of visitors definitely not anything I thought would slow down a site, rarely 3 or 4 people using the site at the same time based on my analytics.

What webhost would you recommend? I can try that and see if it solves the issue!

Hey,

I've been using laytheme for a while and recently I've had a few clients message me saying my website has not been working properly or the navigation doesn't load.

I've tried all the tips and tricks to speed up the site / sort out the navigation problem and installed all the plugins etc but I still can not solve this issue.

I would be really grateful if someone could take a look at my site and maybe point me in the right direction.

Haha, only briefly! Cool I will email you now - not a clue on which version I was using unfortunately but definitely before the woocommerce update.

Hey @Richard

That makes ALOT of sense. I thought I was going mad for a second as I knew that was how I did it previously. I did try the html5 way of doing things but it just made the site a bit too slow. Hosting it on Vimeo just makes a lot of sense for website speed.

Yeah, can I get previous versions of Lay Theme & Carousel to update the site? I guess that is the only workaround right now?

& also @Richard even when I edit the current text which already has videos in them (as seen from the screenshot) it shows no code in the source code?

Yeah, I think that's how I did it last time. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. When I add the vimeo iframe to the source code nothing changes.

Hey peeps,

I got vimeo links to work as an iframe on the mobile version of my website a while back. I thought it worked quite well for a work around but I have just gone to update my website e.g. add a new Vimeo video to the slideshow (on mobile) and it doesn't seem to work anymore.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong compared to last time but any help would be GREATLY appreciated. This has stumbled me for a few weeks now.

I've attached an img also of how the carousel looks on my end.

Thanks!!!

I have a video background on my website that now seems to not be showing up neither on Mobile or Browser, I installed woocommerce which I think set it off so uninstalled it all but the video is still not showing.

Hey,

I still haven't found a solution to this and have tried so many things and just can't figure out why alot of other photography websites seem to load faster.

I noticed when I Inspect the site that it seems to be loading everything instantly, rather than when you come to it or just before. If that makes sense?

Hey,

Big fan of Laytheme.

I recently updated my site and reuploaded all imagery to fit within 1500 - 1800px and most images are no bigger than 500-700kb.

I have lazy loading turned on which seems to speed it up slightly but I still am getting awful scores for website speed, I am also using WP Fastest Cache.

I wondered if you had any tips or tricks or if there was something I was doing wrong, My website is hosted on bluehost and I have already contacted them regarding the issue and they have troubleshooted it and said it is a content/site code issue.

My site is www.jayrussell.co.uk

Let me know if you can help!! I'm up for trying anything to help speed it up so it functions like a normal site!

I've also noticed this problem across my entire site, very very slow to load

Thanks so much for the response Marius and I do kind of see where you're coming from.

I have tried to implement code to skip to anchors by linking them to the ID of the slide. When doing so the links don't seem to do anything.

I feel like this is incredibly simple, I'm just missing something here.

How do I command a piece of text on the 1st slide which tells the FullpageJS to go to slide 9 for instance, when doing so with anchor points or the https://github.com/alvarotrigo/fullPage.js#creating-links-to-sections-or-slides

Nothing happens?

Thanks for the help!

Hey!

I am trying to do a very simple 'menu' on my one project page which is a full screen slider inside a project. You can see here www.jayrussell.co.uk

I have a false menu where it is just a text element on every page I now want to implement extra text which would allow you to click from the first slider page to other pages in the slider to function as a menu.

I've done a lot of reading on this but I am a bit out of my depth on getting this to work.

I just very simply want a text element to be able to skip from one of my pages in the slider to another.

I tried http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/4200/definitive-guide-to-smooth-scroll-to-anchors-from-menu but don't think I was using the anchors correctly.

Any help or guidance is much appreciated on this.

Thanks!
