Lay Theme Forum

for others facing the same issue: What really helped is this plugin: Simple CAPTCHA Alternative with Cloudflare Turnstile

This is great because there is built in option to place the Cloudflare Turnstile challenge almost everywhere including my account page where bots can easily create new accounts. The other stuff did not really change anything I even tried custom email verification plugin but that didn't really block anything, unverified accounts were still being created polluting the dataset.

You will need to configure Turnstile in Cloudflare, very similar to google captcha, which is going to be paid service soon as far as I know that's why people switching to other solutions. Hope it helps.

fix that worked for me for both problems: (placed as custom css)

/Reveal the create-account checkbox on the checkout page
body:not(.lay-checkout-use-placeholders) .woocommerce #customer_details .create-account.form-row label,
.woocommerce #customer_details .create-account.form-row label {
display: inline-block !important;
position: static !important;
pointer-events: auto !important;
}

/* 2. login form position fix

/* ===== Checkout login form (stacked) ===== */

/* Center the "Click here to login" toggle bar */
.woocommerce .woocommerce-form-login-toggle {
max-width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}

/* The login box itself: centered, padded, bordered */
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login {
margin: 0 auto 40px !important;
padding: 30px !important;
border: 1px solid #ddd !important;
border-radius: 6px;
}

/* Stack the username and password fields full-width */
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login .form-row-first,
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login .form-row-last {
width: 100%;
float: none;
}
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login .form-row {
margin-bottom: 18px;
}

/* Make inputs fill the row */
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login input[type="text"],
.woocommerce form.woocommerce-form-login input[type="password"] {
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

why is this in the top left corner ;(

ps.: not because of the captcha, it was the same before without any captcha.

Is it still possible to let users create account on the checkout page? I don't see this option. I opened my site in private browser and I am not logged in. Also when I click on the login for existing user the layout is shifted and the login fields are in the top left corner. Is it like this for everyone?

@arminunruh thanks a lot for looking into it, I will try these. I already have akismet anti-spam installed, that does nothing in this case. I will report back with the results.

apologies for not getting back, life happened. It is still a problem, when I have a bit of time I will try to give more info/ login credentials! I use stripe and I got in touch with their customer support because I have also seen fake customers created on the stripe account, but that was because it is linked to Woocommerce.
They told me it is a security problem of the theme, that is why I contacted you.
I think we need a captcha or something to prevent bots creating new accounts. I cannot simply put a captcha on the account creation page I believe. I have captcha on the contact form.

@arminunruh i do use them. But how can I integrate it when it comes to creating new accounts with woocommerce? Since I don’t edit the account related pages directly. I think this is a very important security feature for a webshop since these customers are also being created at the gateway side. I contacted the gateway they said this is a security issue of the website.

@arminunruh fantastic!

@arminunruh Hey Armin, Thanks for the reply. It looks like the problem was caused by inserting the shortcode through the Gridder. it did not matter how I inserted, e.g.: as shortcode or plain html etc as long as it was though the gridder window the urls of the endpoints were broken except the my account page. When I edit the page of the account related endpoint, there is an extra input field above Gridder where the shortcode is placed. I wanted to place the shortcode directly in gridder as a shortcode, because there all the margins are applied. When i did this it looked much better, the my account page respecting max width, margins etc.. However as mentioned before, the sub-pages of the my account broke. Once I removed the shortcode and placed it in the gridder, the extra input field disappeared and I have no idea how to get that back. I had to do a restore to get it back. As of now it works but the account pages look almost unformated.

bots, fake accounts are saturating the customer list because new accounts are registered daily. Never a transaction and random email addresses so they are for sure not belong to real people. How to fix this so it is a tiny bit harder to register at the website? I have captcha and honeypot on my custom contact form and that works well, we need a solution for account registration, too to prevent spamming.

The option to let customers register during checkout is ticked but there is no such option in the checkout page.. only the button "returning customer?" appears. how to fix this? I suppose it is a bug, I am pretty sure it worked before. I haven't touched the site for a long time and now I am discovering these bugs.

P.S. It is possible to register on the acount page when ticked so that works..

Hey there,

endpoints are empty on my account page. such as change address, add payment methods, view orders etc. why and how to fix it?

I have attached a picture with all the endpoints visible as they are within the settings of WooCommerce.

@arminunruh no problem, I just solved it by putting the thumbnail grid below the index element on the landing page in the Gridder.
I added grid_view_container class to the row where I placed the Thumbnail Grid.
For the row below I added the class list_view_container and placed the Index element there.
I did the same for the mobile version.

by doing this I can now hide these rows by clicking the toggle button thanks to some javascript.

@Juliane as an alternative I can recommend Webflow it has the option to set the order of elements for the reader.

Hi there,

I would like to add a toggle so visitors can choose between thumbnail grid and list view without reloading the page. can I do this with ajax?

Hi there,

Our site is missing elements such as custom fonts etc and does not load fully. I also get 403 forbidden error for most of the pages when I try to open them.

This issue only occurs when I am connected to VPN. (proton free)
That is very far from an ideal experience, it looks like the site is broken.

I am using cloudflare so I understand that this issue perhaps occurs because of them and not because of Laytheme. Does anyone has a similar problem and might know a solution for this?

thank you.

Up please

@arminunruh looks like it isn't. (sad emoji)
