Lay Theme Forum

update: it works when you click from the navigation, but not when you go directly to the /blog url in your browser or via search engine/link

the meta data through Yoast SEO plugin are also not transmitted to the /blog page sadly

hi. when the news feature slug is set to tthe same as the dedicated page url, it replaces the title of the page with "Blog Archive", when it actually should be "Beyond Blog" (in this example)

since we want the articles to link to /blog/article-name

and have a custom /blog overview page, it would be great if the title would not be overwritten by the news feature it self. would that be possible to take priority for a possible page title first before creating the "... Archive" one?

thanks & greetings

@whatsupnini hii! feel free to drop me an email: hello@martinpetersen.co

currently stumbling on a weird bug with a video loop in the cover row rendering the whole website content blank white:

https://beyond.global/home-old

it doesn't matter if cover option is on or not. weirdly enough, video row's work on other pages, but not on the front page.

if you open the front page in a small mobile sized window first and then resize the window to desktop it loads normally.

this started happening after the last 1 or 2 laytheme updates

searched the forums already but couldn't find anything. any idea what this might cause?

@antonioprado Very very old thread, but i just found out that for differnet images in different languages, with qTranslateX you can copy paste the image into a text field for each language. Not the cleanest way, but it works

@arminunruh it does not work, if the text box is inside a stack element btw

@arminunruh just saw the change-log. tyvm!

okay this sounds like inception, but hear me out:

this would be a very eeasy way to display the tags of the current project on the project page itself, by simply hiding all other elements of the project thumbnail. but sadly you cannot add the project thumbnail of the current project itself into it :/

instead of writing a plugin for displaying tags myself, or implementing a "display projects tags" feature, giving us the option to also display the current project in itself would be great.

i tried to tinker with the query in category_gridder.php but this just crashed my whole page for 10minutes 🥲

how about saving and inserting rows as reusable templates/modules in 2025?

thank you for implementing it

Hi, didn't found anything in the forum, just saw the 3d logo is basically a redacted version THREE.js and i was wondering if it's possible to send a JS command to play the looped animation in the 3d scene?

the framebuffer and animation part is still in the 3dlogo.plugin.min.js

https://threejs.org/docs/#manual/en/introduction/Animation-system

trying to grab the element somehow and press .play() but so far no success ;)

i know it's a fun side plugin from 2 years ago, but maybe someone knows how to trigger the three.js animation player in the #lay_canvas object!?

Hi everyone,

i set up the category filter and it works great for sub categories, but when i want to display the general category (that the sub categories are a part of), it will just show nothing aka not load all projects again like it would show when you first load the page.

/work— shows all works (page slug is 'work')

clicking on a category

/work#category-boost — shows all works in "boost" category

but clicking on ALL gets me to

/work#category-work — which shows nothing

no idea what i'm doing wrong

this is the category setup:

Workaround

the workaround i came up with is by creating a second ALL/visible category as a sub category of the main and put every project also into this category (and hide the main ALL link in the category filter with css)

it works, but it would be great if the ALL link just works for subcategories and the main category too. or is it just me having this error?

thanks & bests,
martin

hey everyone

just experiencing the same problem. have to write a custom css for each, which is a bit annoying ;)

it would be really great if there could be some sort of switch in the laytheme options to disable font-weight and instead use font-variation-settings "wght". this way no new entry in the database needs to be made, just the css output changes from

font-weight:$fontWeight;

to

font-variation-settings:"wght" $fontWeight;

The original font-weight could just be left on 400 and since this variable is no longer needed, it can be used for font-variation-settings "wght".

I tried to change this in the actual laytheme code, but i did not quite succeed yet, so doing class based CSS workaround is the quickest fix for it yet.

but maybe implementing that little switch in the options wouldn't be too much to ask for a future update? :)

all the bests
martin

@edgrbnz sadly that didn't do the trick. i fixed the page with setting opacity to 1 for both, but smooth scrolling does not work like this, it just does ugly jumps

#main-region.hide, #footer-region.hide {opacity:1!important; }

@bb_daniel which version did u install?

giot the same problem here with scrollTo links

I tested it in mostly every browser, but adding an emoji into a Textfield and then Save/Update the page, makes the Textfield including the emoji disappear.

Re: different captions on pictures of the slideshow Carrousel

Hey hey! Is it somehow possible to have the same caption under every slide of the carrousel automatically? I can't select all and press 'Edit Caption'. Maybe there was/is another way?

I just fixed it with not putting the Projects into the given “work” category, but opening up another one.
