Troubleshooting Common Mobile Display Issues in YITH Wonder

Mobile responsiveness is a cornerstone of modern web design, but it can sometimes be a source of frustration. Based on community reports, users of the YITH Wonder theme frequently encounter specific challenges that affect how their site appears on smartphones and tablets. This guide consolidates the most common mobile display problems and offers practical solutions to help you achieve a flawless mobile experience.

Common Mobile Issues and Their Solutions

1. Overlapping or Cropped Images on Homepage

The Problem: Your homepage looks perfect on desktop and in the editor, but on mobile, images overlap, are cropped, or appear cut off. This often occurs when block or container settings conflict with the theme's responsive design rules.

The Solution:

  • Check Block Settings: First, inspect the specific image blocks or group blocks on your homepage. Ensure that any custom widths or heights are set using responsive units (like percentages) rather than fixed pixels (px).
  • Use Additional CSS: If the issue persists, you may need to override specific styles for mobile. Using your browser's developer tools (right-click and select 'Inspect'), identify the main container class for the problematic section. Then, add a CSS media query to target mobile screens. For example: 
    @media (max-width: 768px) {
  .your-container-class {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr !important;
  }
}
    Add this code to your site under Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

2. Mobile Menu Malfunctions

The Problem: The mobile menu fails to open, displays a black screen, or loses its styling. This is frequently caused by custom CSS or JavaScript conflicts that break the theme's default menu functionality.

The Solution:

  • Revert Custom Code: If you recently added custom CSS or JavaScript to style the menu, try temporarily removing it to see if the default functionality returns.
  • Apply a Known Fix: A common fix for a black screen menu is to add the following CSS to restore text color: 
    .wp-block-navigation:not(.has-background) .wp-block-navigation__responsive-container.is-menu-open {
  color: var(--wp--preset--color--header-foreground) !important;
}
  • Check for Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate any navigation or menu plugins one by one to test for conflicts.

3. Editing Mobile View Without Affecting Desktop

The Problem: Changes made to font sizes, padding, or other styles in the mobile view also affect the desktop view, and vice versa.

The Solution:

  • Use Media Queries: The only way to have truly independent control over mobile and desktop styles is by using CSS media queries. For example, to increase padding only on mobile: 
    @media (max-width: 767px) {
  .your-element-class {
    padding: 20px !important;
  }
}
  • Understand Clamp(): The YITH Wonder theme uses modern CSS functions like clamp() for typography, which automatically scales between a minimum and maximum size. Manually overriding this with a fixed size will remove its responsive behavior.

4. Blog Layout Columns Not Adjusting on Mobile

The Problem: Blog posts display in two columns on mobile instead of switching to a single column, making text difficult to read.

The Solution:

  • Adjust the Breakpoint: The theme's default breakpoint might be too low. To force a single column at a larger screen size (e.g., 768px), use this CSS: 
    @media (max-width: 768px) {
  .wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr !important;
  }
}

General Troubleshooting Tips

  • Clear Caches: Always clear your site's cache and your browser's cache after making CSS changes.
  • Browser Developer Tools: Use the inspect tool in your browser to test CSS changes in real-time before adding them to your site. This is invaluable for identifying the correct selectors.
  • Child Theme: For extensive modifications, consider using a child theme to prevent your changes from being overwritten during theme updates.

By methodically working through these steps, you can resolve the majority of mobile display issues. If a problem persists, it is often helpful to search for the specific class names or error messages in your browser's console on community forums like the WordPress.org support forums.
