    Dear @Shiffert We are working on Woocommerce support right now! However giving a fixed date is not possible at this point unfortunately, If you need something immediately looking into shopify "Buy Buttons" may prove useful to your needs. I know that some people have had trouble with Mobile integration - Again i apologise that we have no simple solution at this very moment, but we are working hard. Until then best wishes & please feel free to ask any further questions that you may have. Sincerely Richard

    Dear @JanVermeulen When i view your website i have the Mobile version appearing on two lines, Is this correct? [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-08 at 9.20.12 AM.png] Is your tagline "Architecture & Urbanism? this is also showing Yes you can set a smaller font-size for your secondary line, Add this to "Custom CSS" in "Lay-Options"-"Custom CSS & HTML" [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-08 at 9.23.45 AM.png] .sitetitle .line2 { font-size: 2em !important; } Set the "em" to a number that suits you This one is definitely possible but will require further knowledge and you may wish to seek the aid of a developer, but i hope this will be enough :) Within "Appearance- Customize" : [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-08 at 9.34.39 AM.png] Go to the "Site-Title" settings and choose "HTML" : [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-08 at 9.31.45 AM.png] Now we can add some HTML code into the given text field below, such as: <a href = "mailto: abc@example.com" class="mail-title">Studio Jan Vermeulen </a> I have added the Class "mail-title" to the link for you, because it is raw HTML you will need to Style it your self using CSS, This can be done in the Custom CSS area provided within 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML" Additionally you must change the abc@example.com email to your preferred email, Here is some help on CSS for you: https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling And here is a reference to the email link: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/html_email_links.htm#:~:text=HTML Email Tag,mailto instead of using http. Best wishes & Good luck on your Lay Theme Journey Sincerely Richard

    Dear @fredyatb The <marquee> tag is slowly obsolete and may be discontinued by browsers at any point in the future, If you are still willing to use it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/marquee Or have a look at some CSS based alternatives: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31951282/why-is-marquee-deprecated-and-what-is-the-best-alternative https://tympanus.net/codrops/2020/03/31/css-only-marquee-effect/ As for the secondary questions, is it possible to take a screenshot of the issue or Could you please post a link to your website, and then we can have a better inspection? Best Wishes Richard

    Dear @Robertr Thank you for the Video, helps :) So there are two ways i can think of doing this at first, However the second may require the aid of a developer if you are not familiar with the basics of CSS or JS/jQuery, https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css/web-development-tools/a/using-the-browser-developer-tools https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-javascript So the First Option & the simpler but more time consuming: Would be for each project page find the "slug" or "Class" of the page [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-02 at 6.37.12 PM.png] and adding Custom CSS in "Lay Options" -"Custom CSS & HTML", [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-02 at 6.53.06 PM.png] Target the Menu item. On all projects within "Regie" the menu-item "Regie" remains underlined, Or on all projects within Kamera the menu-item "Kamera" remains underlined etc An example of this would be: body.id-18 .second_menu [data-title~=Regie] span{ border-bottom-width: 2px !important; } The Second option would be to use JS/ jQuery: The Code may ask, What page am i on? or could ask for the permalink structure , [image: Screen Shot 2020-09-02 at 6.56.35 PM.png] The Reply would be - Im within "Regie" And with this 'Answer' For all pages "regie" matching, make the menu item "regie" underlined Sorry if this is more complicated than it has to be and if anyone reading this can think of a very obvious solution that i missed ( which can happen often!! ) then please correct me :) Let me know & best wishes, Richard

    Hello @JanVermeulen I got another email from you with some issues: here some questions/problems for you, hoping for your help 1 As I was saying in a post I am aiming to create an Home page (as a splash page for an upcoming website) which shows a sequence of images -done with Carousel- I created a page in WP and set that page in the Frontpage setting of Laytheme. This doesn’t show on the computer but it does show on the Mobile. (Atm I just applied a fix image to the front page just not to have it white online) How can I solve it? 2 The site title should be divided on 2 lines but it shows on one line in the Mobile version 3 The tagline is not showing in the Mobile version 4 Can I use a smaller font for the second line of the site title? 5 Can I make the the title/tagline a clickable link to the mailbox? 1 - So I can see a carousel here on the frontpage:http://www.studiojanvermeulen.eu/ 2 - I guess you're talking about this text:"Studio Jan Vermeulen…" Hmm when trying to control the exact breaking of a line try this:Instead of normal spaces use non-breaking spaces: [image: Screenshot 2020-09-02 at 11.15.03.png] Then when there should be a line break use the keys "shift"+"enter" to create a linebreak. In html code then there will be a <br> which indicates a linebreak. 3 - True, there is no site tagline feature for mobile. I wrote it down and might work on this one day! 4- You can use a different font-size or textformat for the site tagline. You can also insert HTML as the site title. Using appropriate HTML and CSS you can style your site title. Like so: [image: Screenshot 2020-09-02 at 11.32.17.png] And then using css in lay options → custom css & html you can style those two lines: .line1{ /*ur css here*/ } .line2{ /*ur css here*/ } 5 - using html for the site title as mentioned above, you can also insert an anchor to have a mail link, yea. like: <span class="line1"><a href="mailto:my@email.com">Lay ThemeYo</a></span><br> <span class="line2">Hey</span>

    Dear @alessiarodler Ah yes! :) You website is down right now i think? [image: Screen Shot 2020-08-31 at 5.32.52 PM.png] So i cant relate it to something specific on your site but i can send you in the right direction: So the "hover" function in CSS https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_hover.asp You can target any element on a webpage and have something occur when you move the mouse cursor over that element "hover" over it. So what is happening in https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_image_overlay_icon Is they have a container that holds two boxes - an image and basically a box that holds a block color, The image is visible but the Coloured box has an "opacity" of "0" meaning it is invisible, when the mouse cursor 'hovers' over the image, the box is given an "opacity" of "1" making it visible! This is the basics behind the example you provided, Let me know further Best Wishes Richard

    Dear @moND0711 Currently do we not provide support for any third-party Event Plugins as their templates can cause issues with Lay Theme, At this point i can only suggest that you just have to give it a go ( preferably free of course ), Alternatively looking into " Lay Gridder " may be an option for you. http://laygridder.com/ However I will add your thoughts into our development notes for future consideration. Thank you for using Lay Theme & best wishes, Richard

    Dear @cschm-tz Because your Secondary Menu ( bottom menu ) is "position: fixed;" It will always align on the bottom of the page even as other content changes - Therefore ( i assume in your case ) that the primary menu text is too large for smaller screens, if the text is too large it will always push out at some point because: Smaller screen = less space, However a common fix in your case would be that as the browser re-sizes the font size will adjust accordingly - Responsive Font Size: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_responsive_text.asp For more help with CSS and Development tools: https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/html-css/web-development-tools/a/using-the-browser-developer-tools Best Wishes & Good Luck! :) Richard
