Mobile not showing recent post

Checked it on my laptop and my iPhone. Both sites show “Redoing Your Floors? Here Are Some Modern Fabulous Wood Flooring Options” as the most recent post, so I don’t see the problem you’re describing.

Unrelated: on mobile, the header is yay large. The site title doesn’t adapt to smaller screens it seems.

“Redoing your floors…” was yesterday’s post. Obviously There’s a problem with showing the latest post. I’m so sad to hear you can’t see it on your laptop as well.

It shows up on my laptop:
https://www.ifitshipitshere.com/hbos-latest-ads-mobile-app-really-hit-home-away/

so if my latest posts aren’t showing, what is the problem?

In terms of the enormous header, according to my theme support, that can’t be changed (there is some custom CSS but it distorts it.)

Works for me. But your site clearly isn’t optimized for mobile devices.

Okay, same for me then. I also thought “Redoing Your Floors? Here Are Some Modern Fabulous Wood Flooring Options” was your latest post.

Oddly enough, now “HBO GO Mobile App Ads Hit Home. And The Reason To Watch Away From It” shows up as your latest post on my laptop and mobile device.

I refreshed the site on both my laptop and mobile and now they both show “HBO GO Mobile App Ads Hit Home. And The Reason To Watch Away From It” as the latest post!

In terms of mobile, Oh, I’ve tried. I’m using Uppsite and did everything correctly, doesn’t seem to work. Wrote to them as well as to the theme author as to some tips, but haven’t heard back.

Yesterday I tried using the WP Touch for mobile plug in instead and followed all their instructions, including changing the rejected users etc for those using WP SuperCache. Didn’t seem to work at all so I removed that plugin and all the related files.

any advice on a mobile plug in?

wow, so glad to hear refreshing your site on both worked! while you were typing, i reverted back to the child theme before the theme update. And then reverted it back again to the latest and that seemed to fix the latest post.

weird.

Now to just optimize it for mobile.

And thanks for your help! both of you.

Just to give you an idea you could do something like this:

@media(max-width:500px)
{
     #parallax-bg
     {
          background-repeat:no-repeat;
          background-size:auto 200px;
     }
     #masthead
     {
          margin-bottom:135px;
     }
}

But obviously a lot more would need to be done to optimize it for mobile devices.

I’m gonna try that znuffin, I’ll let you know if it does the trick. Thanks!

znuffin,

I added that into the custom css of the theme and sadly, no luck, made it even worse on mobile. Still big header and then the scroll was offset to the left.

That should have just minimized green banner thingy, not the header. But weird, looked fine to me when I changed it in Chrome.

Hmmm.
Clearly I need to research more. Has been a huge steep learning curve for me. I moved this site from Blogger where it was for 6 years to self-hosted wordpress a month ago. Left up the blogger version as an archive for the over 40000 posts.

Have had a ton of issues and a lot of learning.

I find wordpress very difficult to use if you are not a code expert.

Again, I appreciate all your help.

It’s likely the theme that’s to blame, not WordPress itself. ??
A good theme will not require much (if any) knowledge of code in order to work with easily, in my opinion.

I absolutely have to disagree, albeit politely. On blogger one does not need to know any CSS, php or hardly even html. Everything is drag and drop. You never ever need to enter your root folder, use ftp or anything like that. But one does not have nearly the control, hence the appeal of wordpress.

For the average curator, not coder, having to learn any code is totally overwhelming.

But I’m here now, arent I? ??

Agreed — but with a good theme, you shouldn’t need any knowledge of code and you can just focus on the content and some settings.

Root folder, FTP, etc? For a self-hosted WordPress site yes, but that’s the price you pay for having full control.

Of course, you won’t have to deal with all that stuff on a WordPress.COM site. ??
