    [image: 1749285008298-screenshot-2025-06-07-at-10.30.03-resized.png] so if you show your menubar in customize → menu style → menu bar and then you want your thumbnailgrid filter on top of the menu bar, use this css: .lay-content{ position: static!important; } .row{ position: static!important; } .col{ position: static!important; } .lay-thumbnailgrid-filter-wrap{ position: relative; z-index: 11; } will result in: [image: 1749285090774-screenshot-2025-06-07-at-10.31.27.png] in the middle, thats my thumbnailgrid filter this css may result in some other things not working correctly, like row background images

    hey so for fullscreen slider, you would just put a text into a row in the bottom right. Also, is it possible to show two images side by side in a carousel while keeping the layout full-screen, similar to the example? unfortunately no

    Hey, so I guess that services like Telegram, Facebook, and more cache that image. For Facebook, I know that you can go to a certain website and invalidate the cache to make Facebook reload the image, so you get the new one. For a Telegram, I'm not so sure. heres what chatgpt says: Great question — updating the og:image meta tag alone isn't enough to make Telegram (or other platforms like Facebook or Twitter) show the new image right away. These platforms cache Open Graph data aggressively. Here’s how to make sure Telegram picks up the new image after you've updated the og:image tag: ✅ Steps to Make Telegram Show the New OG Image 1. Update Your HTML Meta Tag Make sure your HTML is updated like this: <meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/path-to-your-new-image.jpg"> 💡 Tip: Make sure the new image URL is not the same as the old one. Use a new filename or add a version parameter (e.g., ?v=2) to bust the cache. 2. Use a New or Versioned Image URL Telegram caches by image URL. So if you re-use the same URL, it will likely keep showing the old image. ✅ Good: https://example.com/image-new.jpg or https://example.com/image.jpg?v=2 3. Share the Link in Telegram Again Now post the link in Telegram again in a new message. Telegram fetches metadata only the first time a URL is previewed in a chat. Editing the message won't trigger a re-fetch. If it's already cached: Try sharing the link with a slightly different URL, like adding a fake query parameter: https://example.com/page?v=123 (This tricks Telegram into fetching it again.) 4. Force Refresh Telegram Cache (Not officially supported) Telegram doesn't offer a public cache debugger like Facebook's Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn's Post Inspector. So your best bet is: Change the image URL. Use a new link or versioned query string. Wait a few hours if changes aren’t urgent (cache might expire). ✅ Checklist Recap Step Action 🔧 Update Change the og:image tag 🎯 Unique Use a new image URL or add a version (e.g., ?v=2) 🧹 Telegram Cache Share the updated URL in a new message ❌ Don't Don’t reuse exact same image URL and expect a refresh ⏳ Patience If all else fails, wait 24–48h for cache to expire Let me know if you want a script to automate versioning your image URLs!

Before you post:
  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
  3. Disable all Plugins
  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

This often solves issues you might run into

When you post:
  1. Post a link to where the problem is
  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
