Thumbnail navigation for carousel -
embedded ThriveCart checkout form not loading on mobile versionLooks like a mobile layout issue, not the embed code.
When you create a separate mobile version, the desktop elements don’t carry over. Your ThriveCart block probably isn’t added (or is hidden) in the mobile layout.
Just re-add the embed in the mobile version and it should work

Negative KerningYeah that’s a limitation of the editor unfortunately.
That dropdown only allows predefined positive values, so you won’t be able to set negative letter spacing from there. It’s kinda restrictive if you’re trying to tighten typography.
If you really need negative kerning, you’ll have to do it via custom CSS, something like:
letter-spacing: -0.02em;
and apply it to that text block/class.
So yeah, not possible directly in the UI, only through CSS workaround
-
making project thumbnails always B/w and colour only on mouse hoverYeah that’s doable with CSS, Lay doesn’t have a built-in toggle for “reverse hover” like that.
You basically just set the thumbnail to grayscale by default, then remove it on hover. Something like:
.project-thumbnail img { filter: grayscale(100%); transition: filter 0.3s ease; } .project-thumbnail img:hover { filter: grayscale(0%); }You might need to adjust the class name depending on how your thumbnails are structured, but that’s the general idea.
Clean effect btw, looks really nice when done right 👍

text on image and stacksNice catches, especially the stack transition thing, I’ve noticed something similar before but couldn’t quite pin it down.
Good to hear both are getting fixed though. The gradient issue in particular was a bit distracting with rounded corners.
For the blur idea, yeah I get why it’s tricky. Would be a really cool effect if there was a clean way to do it though, maybe something CSS-based in the future.
Looking forward to the update 👍

Can not activate layout cacheIf the Layout Cache checkbox is greyed out, it usually means something on your setup is forcing it to stay disabled.
From the note in your screenshot, the most common reasons are:
- You have WooCommerce, Polylang, or WPML active
- “Disable Ajax” is enabled
- Or something in your setup conflicts with how Lay handles navigation/caching
I’d check these first:
- Go to Lay Options → make sure “Disable Ajax” is OFF
- Temporarily disable plugins like WooCommerce or multilingual plugins and see if it becomes clickable
- Clear any cache plugin you’re using (or disable it for testing)
Lay automatically disables Layout Cache when it detects incompatibilities, so the grey checkbox is basically a “blocked by config” signal.
Try isolating it by disabling plugins one by one, you’ll usually find the cause pretty quickly 👍
-
custom column amount in rows?Yeah, you’re basically on the right track already.
Lay doesn’t really support “mixed column counts” in a single grid row by default, so the usual way is exactly what you did: just stack different Element Grids on top of each other.
So for your case:
- First grid → 2 columns (row A)
- Second grid → 3 columns (row B)
That gives you full control and keeps things clean.
If you want more flexibility later (like different layouts on mobile), you can also tweak each grid’s responsive settings separately.
Your solution is pretty much the standard approach 👍
