Problem getting site mobile ready
I downloaded and restored my site to a WAMP server on my Windows 7 desktop computer. I then put in the code that JD suggested. In addition, I added this to the "HTML Inserts: Body Tag":
Code:
body onresize="OnResizeDocument()" The live site looked illegible on the emulator. The local site had text large enough to read in the emulator, but the side bars were pushed down to the bottom of the page. Is this normal behavior? I don't normally browse the web on my little iPhone 5c. I like to look at the web on my desktop (I know, so 2000s!). I don't know how much confidence I can have in the emulator, because my live site in the emulator looks different than it does on my actual physical iPhone. When I try to look at the live site in Safari on my iPhone 5c, it looks the same as it does on my desktop, but the print is way too small to read. This is the link to my site: http://15nowtacoma.info/ Regards, Alan |
did you actually include the word 'body'? if so, remove it.

I also wonder about the emulator that supposedly gives an accurate preview of how it will look on a device. There seem to be a whole bunch of them. Is there one which is particularly reliable? I'm hesitant to go-live until I feel confident I don't have to go back. I already have a bunch of code in the live site. Alan |

Your settings work fine for me and on your site, on the 'body' statement, I don't see the
HTML Code:
onresize="OnResizeDocument()" HTML Code:
<body class="home blog"> HTML Code:
<body class="home blog" onresize="OnResizeDocument()"> First step is to disable ALL your plugins and then view the site. Use the browsers 'view source' stement and find the Body statement. If the 'onresize...' shows up, then you know one of the plugins is at fault so you can turn them on one at a time and check the source till you find the culprit. |
Hi JD,
What you saw was the live site, not the one on my local WAMP. I got the settings from that one. Should the side bars be pushed down into the bottom of the screen? Do you know if there is a decent iphone emulator that I can run on my Windows 7 desktop computer?? |

You should play with some other themes on your local server to see hw they react so you can see how it is done. |

When I tried to look at it on my iPhone 5c, it looked identical to what I had seen before the big change. Would people mind looking at my site on their devices and let me know how it looks? Thanks, Alan |
it's still not showing the 'onresize="OnResizeDocument()"' in teh body statement. Go to the 'Add HTML/CSS options and see if it is there.

Definitely looks to be there now, and seems to work on my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S3 with Google Chrome).
That said, there's a few things that aren't fitting in the width. Search box Posts/Comments links Note: All this does is resize your site for mobile, and move all sidebars to the end of the page. The idea is that on a phone you only want the user to scroll vertically, not horizontally. |
yup now I see it too - maybe it was a caching issue. On teh iPhone ou still have an issue with the header
1) your logo is too small to see 2) the the rss feeds and search are partway off the right of the screen |

Additionally, before adding the code to make the entire website more responsive and able to pass Google’s mobile test, I had also inserted code to make the header scalable. I took code to make the header more scalable from a series of posts about this. I jumped into the middle of that thread, and my first contribution to the series to do that starts here. I hope all these changes aren’t too much of a kludge. Now, JD and Cefiar tell me that the logo is too small to see and that the search bar and post/comments links are off to the side. JD also says the RS feeds are off the right of the screen. So given all that, here are my questions:
Once again, for your convenience, this is the website I'm talking about. Regards, Alan |
NOTE: I've moved this all to a new thread

Well, I just ran the site through the Mobile Friendly test, and this is what came up:
