Lay Theme Forum

@arminunruh I tried everything, clearing cache, turn off all custom css. turn off the plug ins and turning them on again after deleting cache. In Safari it seems to work again on my laptop, but on my iphone and on chrome desktop the issue is still there, despite deleting cache there as well. I've sent you an email with the login details. I would be extremely glad, if you could have a quick look to point out the issue.
(for the moment I just turned off the image hover plugin)
Many Thanks!

Hi,
I updated Lay theme and imagehover plugin, and now all hover images are displaced and always showing, even though they should be hidden. It messed up my entire website layout! See attachement. How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated!

Best,
Tobias

@arminunruh
I have search engine visibility deactivated for months now, so this shouldn't be the issue. I just described the situation in detail to @Monamos in the above post.

I really hope I can figure this out soon with the sitemap and robots txt... I appreciate any further advice since this whole SEO topic is very unfamiliar to me.

Many thanks for adding my site to your laytheme.com! I feel honoured and hopefully google will see it too. :-)

@Monamos Thanks for your hints. I now made a sitemap with octopus. I've never done it before. Did I do it correctly?
https://tobiasgutmann.com/sitemap.xml

Question: If I go to tobiasgutmann.com/robots.txt the sitemap links to wp-sitemap.xml, but I don't see this file in my ftp. It is somehow hidden and generated by wordpress. Do I need to change my robots.txt somehow?

Do you recommend working with a SEO plugin, to generate a proper sitemap?

Google console tells me Excluded by “noindex” tag detected in robots.txt: I don't know where to check if I have a noindex tag on my wordpress sites, or how to change it. any hints?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

@arminunruh I did submit it on google console, and after months it still says, it does not find the page. I have no idea what else to do. any idea?

@Monamos My website, after months, is still not indexed by google. I checked, somehow I do have a robots.txt. When I open tobiasgutmann.com/robots.txt it says:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Sitemap: https://tobiasgutmann.com/wp-sitemap.xml

Can I delete this somewhere, or change it? Is it a different reason, why google can't find my website?
Glad for any help!

Best,
Tobias

@arminunruh i have unchecked this box 1-2 months ago, but nothing happened, still not searchable on google. Am I missing something?

@Monamos
Also my laytheme website tobiasgutmann.com has not been indexed on google. Happy for any hints to make the website searchable.

@arminunruh I deleted some images in my carousel, now it loads faster. Don't know why it was slow before.

@arminunruh
I tried adding dimensions to my svg as explained here
I tried adding [this css] code (http://laythemeforum.com:4567/post/14555)
still the cursor is pixelated and does not seem to show the svg. here a link to how it looks now. any solution for this?

some pages of my website load only after a few seconds.
for example this one.

I see the plain background for a few seconds then suddenly everything appears. Is there a possibility to load each element from top to bottom, to make it appear one element after the other, instead of all at once? I activated lazy load, but it doesn't seem to help.

I'm afraid people would visit the page and then return, because it didn't load fast enough.

I went through the "Speeding up your Website" section of Lay Theme's documentation, I optimized all images, but didn't use caching plugin yet. would that help?

@kalamakumaran Hi Basi, thanks for your reply. Yes, it looks great on the front, but in the theme used is very messy, and my hoster said I have malware on that site, and I don't know how to clean it, so I thought it might be best to rebuild it all on laytheme. Would you be able to help me clean it on the backend?

@arminunruh Wow, it works! Thank you so much Armin!

@arminunruh I tried to reupload the svg file, but it keeps changing it into a pixel cursor. could it be that Wordpress generates thumbnails of my svg and then picks that file? It's weird, because in the media library, I see the svg. any idea?

@arminunruh I changed the cursor image to a svg. It is better, but still pixelated. Is there any way to improve it? here the link to how it looks now.

@arminunruh
Here's the screenshot of what I'm trying to do. I would like the middle text element (Information, Instagram !) to be sticky over the whole page.
Is this somehow possible? Something like the yellow box in this example, but I want to do as little custom code as possible.

@arminunruh Thanks for your help! I managed to get the text sticky, when the text boxes are placed left or right of each other ( not in a stack). but it doesn't work for me, if I place the elements underneath each other in a stack element. is there a solution for that?

Hi,
I have been moving my old website to laytheme, but there is one thing, my large image gallery with tags to filter, and I was not able to move it to my new laytheme website.
Here a link to the old image gallery, that I now want to move to lay theme:

Is there anyone out there, who could help me make something like this in laytheme?

As far as I now, it is not possible to do something like this in laytheme, or am I wrong?
Is it possible to do it with some custom coding?

Best,
Tobias

I would really appreciate more flexibel carousel settings for desktop and mobile. For example on desktop I set my carousel to 70vh, on mobile though, I would like to have it 40vh. Currently I have to separate carousel for both layouts, which is a pain.
The element grid already has an option to display content differently on different screens, would be amazing to also have for carousel!

I'm trying to optimise my png image to use as a mouse cursor, but it always shows very pixelated.

• Is there a way to make the image less pixelated? For example by scaling the 128x128px image down with css, so the cursor shows smaller and the pixels are not as visible anymore on retina displays? or any other idea?

Other Question:

• Is there a way to have a different cursor images "on click"?

here's the link to my page, where I am testing the cursor.
