    hey there, quick hats up. I removed this section in the row side bar. And now it works differently. Now in a row, you can just resize the elements up or down to trigger their stretch. So just go with the mouse to the bottom or the top border of the element and then resize it up or down. I was thinking this is more elegant.

    okay, well, it is a cookie plugin, right? It should have a setting to just show the cookie banner on your website without you having to insert a shortcode I think that is how most cookie plugins work. Also, I'm not even sure if that makes sense to put it into a short quote on one page, because I think the cookie banner needs to appear on every page on first visit. Maybe it's better to use a different cookie plugin.

    hey, I remember we were writing emails. As I said, just use the full screen slider add-on.

    you might also want to check out the new auto layout capabilities, which I explain here. https://laythemeforum.com/topic/11937/image-scaling-misalignment-issues This way you can just put everything into one row. :D

    hey, not sure exactly if there are any incompatibilities. Probably you need to make sure that the front page you use for Lay Theme is actually set in settings > reading.

    hey, we talked about this via email, so when using Yoast, you need to set the front page additionally in Settings > Reading. If you don't, then Yoast does not pick up what page your front page actually is, because it doesn't know Lay Theme's custom front page settings, so it doesn't return the right image on the front page There's also an info box that includes the description about that in the plugins. However, with the new update, at least an image will be returned. The one that is set in Lay Options will be the fallback image.

    @arminunruh said in customizing image hover: Hello! can you try this? .lay-imagehover-on-element img, .lay-imagehover-on-element video { -webkit-mask-image: url('/wp-content/uploads/your-mask.png'); mask-image: url('/wp-content/uploads/your-mask.png'); -webkit-mask-size: 100% 100%; mask-size: 100% 100%; -webkit-mask-repeat: no-repeat; mask-repeat: no-repeat; -webkit-mask-position: center; mask-position: center; } in lay options -> custom css & html -> custom css the URL needs to be the correct url to your mask png which i guess can be a black/white png or grayscale, not sure theres no setting for this, but maybe this can lead you to the right direction have a good day thank youuuu, made a similar code with Claude - its looks neat thank you sm

    well, I think you can rename the category part, yeah In settings - permalinks [image: 1779368247898-0df62c59-06e6-4a92-b583-9ea83cde9b89-grafik.png] So apparently, for category based, you can just enter: . And then when you click save, apparently that should work. I haven't tried it though. Alternatively, you could use a plugin. Could try one of those two: [image: 1779368504122-d50a4452-267b-4eb4-bb24-55445ab4d8ad-grafik-resized.png]
