Layouts plugin provides an easy way to integrate with your theme and utilize the power of Bootstrap grid from Layouts instead of the standard WordPress loop.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to give us some information about the theme you are trying to integrate and what you want to achieve.
I just realized that another problem that seems to have occurred with the toolset installation is that the images that are supposed to extend to full width are only going to the in-container size.
For example, on the biography page, the banner img row is set to full-width, but it is not showing as such. The same is true for all the other full-width settings.
Solution:
This is a CSS problem, see the detail solution here:
Problem:
Toolset Layouts provides an Export/Import feature (Toolset > Export/Import > Layouts) that allows exporting either Export layouts to theme directory, or Export and download layouts.
The first will export each existing Layout as a .ddl file, the existing CSS as a .css file and the Layouts Settings as a .json file into the Theme's Directory.
It will not export JS saved.
It will not allow later to import back the .json file, because only .zip, .ddl or .css files are allowed in import.
Moreover, this is misleadingly described in the GUI and needs clear hints what-what does/is.
Problem: I would like to use a custom shortcode to display some custom pagination links, but when I try to echo the code in PHP it is displayed in the wrong place on the page.
Solution: Check the documentation for the Shortcode API. It's best practice to build a string with concatenation, then return that string. Echo should not be used in a shortcode.
Remove the word "Archive" from Archive page titles.
Solution:
In most theme, it is using wordpress function the_archive_title() to output the archive title, so you can use filter hook gettext to change the archive title as what you want, for example
Problem:
An older site is made with Layouts, Divi, and the Divi integration plugin, so that Layouts is being used to design the entire page and not just the content area. With Divi alone, if you have primary and secondary navigation menus, on small screens they are combined in a single hamburger menu, when trying to recreate this with Layouts you get two hamburger menus.
Solution:
It is not possible to recreate this with Layouts.
The client agreed the best option was to update the site to stop using the Divi integration plugin, so that Layouts only creates the post content area, and Divi generates the header (including the menus) and footer.
