Lay Theme Forum

hey i will answer you in the other topic! actually im so busy today, i will try and answer tomorrow

so make sure the addon and lay are both up to date. then in the gridder, here:

If however, you'd like to rebuild the site on your currently online site, you can do that too.

use for example a passwort protect plugin like this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/knock-first-password-protection/

You could even create a new LocalWP site, then use one of the plugins i mentioned above to copy your online site over to a local site.

And then build your new site online, replacing the old site.

This way you would still have your old site as reference locally!

Hey alice!

I think if you're happy with siteground it is easier to stay there.

Otherwise you'd have to either configure the domain to point to netcup using DNS (domain name server) configuration, which is quite technical.

BUT, i think you can even get hosting at netcup, then ask them to do the domain transfer for you:
https://www.netcup.com/en/domain/domain-transfer

And then transfer the site mmh.

However, if the price change is substantial, it might be worth the hassle to move over. But doing that can be quite technical and I think many people would be a little deterred by it. However, some webhosts offer "moving services" im no too sure to what extent netcup offers this.

In your position I would do it like this:
Install LocalWP, then create the website with LocalWP on your own computer.
When you are done, to move it online, use this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

or this one
https://wordpress.org/plugins/backup-backup/

if you have the ChatGPT desktop app, or Claude Desktop App with a subscription, AI can even help you do that and move the site for you, using one of these plugins or some other plugin that it decides could be optimal

Ok, please remove the menu points, and type them in again.
the texts currently contain invisible linebreak text characters.
Thats why!

Heres the long generated explanation:

Hi,

I found the cause. This is not a Safari or Lay Theme bug, but is caused by invisible characters in the content of the Menu page.

Several menu entries contain a hidden U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR character, followed by a regular line break. Safari interprets this as two line breaks, which creates the additional vertical spacing. Firefox handles this combination differently.

The affected entries include “Undermined”, “I Went Looking for a Ship”, “False Flat”, “Archive”, “Cultural institutions/editorial”, and “KLM portfolio”.

Please edit the Menu page in both the desktop and phone layouts, completely delete the affected text, and type it again manually. Do not copy and paste the existing text, as this may preserve the invisible characters. Afterwards, clear the Lay Theme cache.

No theme update or custom CSS should be necessary.

ok it should work now if you update, i released the update yesterday

damn i saw your answer too late, ok im checking it out

hey the order of prev/next ( https://laytheme.com/documentation/navigation-between-projects.html#ajax-container ) follows the project overview order

this should work correctly, can you show me your website where it does not work?

hey!!

if you're talking about the project thumbnail grid element:

here, please change the order to "menu order"

i will rename this to "project overview order" to make it easier to understand

sorry about the late reply, seems like the forum didnt let some people post, instead, it landed in the post queue

this would for example create a button looking like this when using tab

hey!! having anchor tags for buttons that are links is semantically correct.

buttons are only meant for user interactions like in a web application

i think you just want to have a visual indication for which button/link is "focused" when pressing tab.

it doesn't matter if its a <button> or <a> tag. you can still have tab-enabled links/buttons that show a focused state visually, by using CSS!!

just paste this into lay options -> custom css & html -> CUstom CSS:

:where(
  a,
  button,
  input,
  select,
  textarea,
  summary,
  [role="button"],
  [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])
):focus-visible {
  outline: 3px solid #0066ff !important;
  outline-offset: 4px;
}

when configuring the overlay, you have this setting:

with the next update, there will be a new setting here which will be for mobile

cause this setting currently only works for desktop

ah i understand!! ok will be fixed with the next update

its because at the moment, lay theme only recognizes page overlay links if they have all the data attributes. like data-type data-id etc

usually, if you create a link in a textfield it has these attributes

short answer:
you can use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-deny/

hey!!
mmh i mean, the whole internet got distilled into LLMs, books and more, no one allowed them to do that :DD

in your robots.txt file you can add:

User-agent: meta-externalagent
Disallow: /

this asks the bots to ignore the site. but they are free to decide if they follow your rule or not.

you can use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-deny/

it will do the above and do it for more bots too.

to be 100% sure, somehow your host would need to setup a firewall and block all IP's of the AI companies. thats sth i cant do

hm hm it seems like polylang's latest update changed quite a lot, so it broke that compatibility

will be fixed with the next lay update!

hey seems like the forum here put your thread into a queue, so i didnt see it when you posted it!! sorry i will check this now

maybe you set your button styles there?

ok.

so if you go to appearance -> menus

there, you can also set specific menu items to use button styles.
this overwrites the setting in the customizer!

hey seems like the forum here put your thread into a queue, so i didnt see it when you posted it!! sorry i will check this now

hey!!

probably it just shows the pages because you're logged in in wp-admin in the one browser ;)

try opening those pages in a chrome incognito window

see, for me it works on chrome:
