Lay Theme Forum

Hey there,

first of all, thanks for implementing that nice news/blog feature.

For a client, I imported all of his old blog articles from that site https://archiv.udini.com/blog to that site https://udini.com/archive/. After the import, i changed the post type from projects (posts) to the news post type (defined in the lay options) so far everything worked perfect!

My questions:

1. The client edited all posts with the classic editor or the tiny MCE. Is it possible to activate that editor for the news section, so that i can edit the old posts?
2. In the singe post, the title and the date is not displayed. How can this be activated?

Thanks for your help and greetings from Cologne

Dear @nypaloto, dear @Richard-Keith,

as the english site worked perfectly with the solution above, I wanted to start with the french and spanish versions of the site.

So I added another language in Polylang, added the page ID in the Polylang’s string section »frontpage_select_page« ...

... but on the front-page, when I click on »FR«, this link is still linked to the »EN« version of the site –> www.matteroffact.de

Does anyone has an idea, why this is not working? Thanks again for your help!

Dear @arminunruh,

ah, good to know and sorry – I didn’t really get it, when reading it the first time. So now, I know, what the problem is.

Will do some research, what SEO-wise could be an option for solving this.

Thanks and greetings
Alex

Dear @arminunruh ,

thanks for your message.

First, i changed the text formats from p to H1 etc. and then, I changed this again on each site in the gridder to be sure, that these text-format changes have been also affected there.

The double/duplicate content is not visible on the site itself but in the source code. That leads to the »duplicate H1, H2 content« error message in the SEO-Tool’s check (because it thinks, this content is »visible« twice).

The site is www.matteroffact.de – if you take a look at the source code, you’ll find the H1 example twice:

<h1 class="_verybig">Wir pressen <br />dein Vinyl!</h1>

... in line 1891 and then again in line 1941

Or on this site as well the H2: https://matteroffact.de/vinyl_produktion

<h2 class="_verybig">Wir produzieren deine Vision!</h2>

... first in source code line 1910 and second in line 1974

Or the H3:

<h3 class="_Zwischenhead">Vinyl in höchster Qualität!</h3>

twice in line 1903 and line 1967.

Thanks again for your help!

Hey @acsgaffney & @Richard-Keith

I had the same issue and found a solution somewhere on the internet. What helped at my page was:

• open the wp-config.php

• navigate to

$table_prefix = 'xyz_';

/**
 * Für Entwickler: Der WordPress-Debug-Modus.

• add the following in between

define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

• so it looks like this:

$table_prefix = 'xyz_';

define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

/**
 * Für Entwickler: Der WordPress-Debug-Modus.

• then, I could upload the .ttf file.

After uploading the .ttf, I deleted this line again from the config file, as I am not sure, if this will lead to any other security-related-issues on the Wordpress site...

Hey there,

after checking some SEO-tools for improvements on the site I’m updating at the moment (www.matteroffact.de), I changed some text-formats in Lay Theme from paragraphs to headlines.

Before I did that, the headlines were only PARAGRAPHS in the text formats and not HEADLINES. So I changed the style »verybig« to H1 and »Zwischenheadline« to H3.

After checking again in the SEO-tools, if my adjustments helped (this & that), they now say, that the content, which has H1 and H3 is now doubled on the site.

So I checked the source code and found out, that now the Headline Styels are all doubled.

Does anyone have an idea on this?

Thanks for your held and greetings from Cologne

Dear @nypaloto ,

I have the same problem and would be very happy to have a solution for that. The link you shared is not valid anymore. Could you please send this again? Would be happy to know how to solve this issue.

@ArneRobot Hey there, I’m having the same problem and would be very happy to know the solution. Thanks and best, Alex

Dear @Richard-Keith,

thanks for your fast reply – glad, that you wrote it down for future discussion! Looking forward to it and in the meantime, I’m thinking about a workaround for that ;)

Hey guys,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to use the Wordpress Image Description (which can be added to an image in the Wordpress Mediathek) to display this text instead of the Lightbox Caption (which needs be added in each Element Grid)?

It would be cool if you want to use one image in several/different Element Grids. Normally, you have to add the Lightbox Caption in each Element Grid. If you could you the Wordpress Image Description, you only had to enter the text once and it would be displayed as Lightbox Caption across all Element Grids, the image is in.

Thanks and greetings from Cologne

Dear @arminunruh,

thanks for helping with this issue!

I did move around the projects to see, if this helps, but I did not move around the thumbnails in the thumbnail order – so great to see, that this works!

Hey there,

I just updated the LAY theme with the latest version and noticed a wrong order in the project’s thumbnail grid: The oldest project is the first to be seen on the site (www.noorden.org).

But after opening a project (e.g. www.noorden.org/sevenone) – and then going back to the homepage by clicking the logo in the left corner opens the project’s thumbnail grid in the correct order (newest project first).

Now it gets strange: If you click on RELEASES in the menu, the homepage opens the project’s thumbnail grid again in the wrong order (oldest project first).

Can you help to fix this issue?

Thanks and greetings from Cologne

Hello everyone,

as I needed YOAST SEO very urgent for one of my clients websites, I tried the following (and it worked):

1. updated to the latest versions of Wordpress and LAY Theme
2. deleted the content in WP-Content > Plugins > Wordpress SEO
3. downloaded the Ver. 9.3 of YOAST SEO (get it here)
4. upload the folder’s content to WP-Content > Plugins > Wordpress SEO
5. refreshed the site in LAY’s backend and the Gridder was there again

PS: tried that also with 9.4 and then it wasn’t working again ...

Greetings
Alex

... same here, would be cool, if you could help. Thanks!

Hey @melo_lenosier,

i use it on www.matteroffact.de and it works out 90% I’d say ...

The things, that don’t work are as follows (if you already solved one of those – would be happy to hear from you...):

1a) Start on matteroffact.de, then navigate to Contact –> No contact-form is visible right.

1b) click on DE in the right corner for the German contact site –> The form is visible.

1c) if I now edit the English contact form in the backend, the German one will be not visible anymore in the frontend – but the English one ... (and so on)

2a) Start on matteroffact.de (the default page language is set to EN), then click DE in the right corner for the German language, click on any site and then on the logo in the left top corner –> The main intro and the English homepage will appear

I think besides that two bugs, the plugin is doing very well.
Woud be happy, if anyone has some hints.

Best and greetings from Cologne

Hey Armin,

is it possible to use external links in the project thumbnail grid instead of linking to the project-page in wordpress?

I’m working on this site http://stage.alexketzer.com/vanverlag/startseite and want to link the thumbnail to http://www.van-magazin.de instead of the project page http://stage.alexketzer.com/vanverlag/van-magazin-de.

Thanks for your help and greetings from Cologne
