    Ok always the way lol. I'll send through. I got it eventually working last night, but without any real logic. I duplicated a page that worked, swapped the image over, and for some reason that one worked. The original page just wouldn't...

    I have tried disabling, and it made no difference. It's very unusual. There is definitely some sort of bug that is preventing this. Can you replicate it on your end?

    @arminunruh Hi Armin you can test it here: https://theysay.com.au/sandbox

    Click on the "timetable" menu option. There should be a jpg of a timetable graphic in the page when it slides out.

    Hi all,

    We have a site that uses pages as overlays. So they slide out from the right hand side when you click a hyperlink on the home page. It was all working fine, but I have just noticed that any images that are in an overlay page, no longer appear on mobile. It's very strange.

    I have tired creating a new page from scratch, new image etc, but no luck.
    When you view the full url of that page, as a normal page rather than an overlay, then images appear ok - so it looks to be related to a page being specified as an overlay.

    Has anyone else experienced this bug??

    @Nzagamba A few thoughts:

    • I think you need to update your sitemap url in the robots file, to the new one you made on Octopus and ensure it's uploaded to your server.
    • I would suggest checking all your site pages and make sure there are none that have a no-index. You can do this by viewing the source and looking in the header. Make sure that nowhere in any of your page headers is a setting stating <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">. As I understand, if Google spots this, it will flag it as noindex even if you have other pages that don't have it.

    @Nzagamba it really depends what the specific errors are that you are getting. Is it saying the page is set not to crawl, or something else? Also have you generated a proper xml sitemap file? I found that made a difference on my end. This is a good one below. Just enter your url and it will generate an XML map you can put on your server: https://octopus.do/sitemap/resource/generator

    Thanks Armin. I worked it out. One issue was the code was missing quote marks around the URL, which I totally missed. I then was able to combine it with another existing script in the "Custom <head> content" section, and it works perfectly now. Would be handy though to have this as an optional field in the site title section of the Lay settings, so you could optionally enter a custom URL for the sit title link?

    Thanks again for your tips as always.

    Do you mean it should go in the actual 'custom css' area, or the 'custom head content' area? I tried in the head and it didn't work. Tried in the custom css area, and it rejects the script tags.

    The reason is that I don't want the link on the site logo to take the user back to the home page, because it has an intro overlay on it which gets annoying if you need to see it every single time.

    I want the site logo/title to link to a different page, which is the same as the home page but without the intro overlay. It would b great to have the option to specify a different url for the site title.

    Hi has anyone found a fix to this? Recently came across this same issue. Changing the main url in WP changes the whole site url, so would be great to be able to apply a custom url only to the site title.

    We have a site in development where we have about 15 video thumbnails and a couple of other in page videos. Each thumbnail is a 1.5mb mp4. They load fine on desktop but on mobile they are not appearing at all. its like the site just stops trying to load them. Has anyone come across this? I've tried clearing caches, relaunching, restarting, clearing server caches etc, but nothing works.

    @Nzagamba do you have a robotics.txt file on the server and also a sitemap.xml file? They will both help too. The robots file specifies if the site is allowed to be crawled.

    @Nzagamba I've found a setting that I think is the culprit. In WP Settings > Reading, there is a section at the bottom called "Search engine visibility". Ensure that the checkbox is not ticked next to it. It toggles "Discourage search engines from indexing this site".

    Mine was ticked. Once I unticked it, the site stopped displaying the noindex meta tag. I'm waiting to now see if Google Search Console is able to crawl it.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with Google not being able to index their site?

    I have an error in Google Search Console stating the site pages can not be indexed because they are set to 'no index'. The htaccess file is allowing indexing, and yet the page source is showing:

    <meta name='robots' content='noindex, nofollow' />
    

    I'm trying to work out of this is a Lay issue, or caused by something else. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi folks. We have a site in development where the site title is displayed in the main nav header. However it looks like this site title is also the same one that appears in the browser window title (when someone bookmarks a page).

    Is there a way we can have a more descriptive title for the browser title without it also changing the site title in the nav header? Right not all changes are applied to both.

    @arminunruh Ok bummer. The category filters are a bit of a deal breaker as they play an important role in allowing the filtering of the projects in the case.

    @arminunruh Also, is there any way to chow the category filters on a page without embedding a thumbnail grid? I have manually dropped in individual project thumbnails, but can't find a way to display the category filters above them at the top of the page
