Oops, sorry if I misled anyone, but I realised the page I had the success editing with an OTG attached mouse was in fact on a WPBakery site not an Elementor one. A bit of brain-fog due to advancing years…

I have however experimented more, and the sweet spot for editing Elementor pages on an Android mobile seems to be using the Vivaldi browser in desktop mode (buried in settings). This reliably displays the green update button at the bottom of the left sidebar when changes have been made, something that the other browsers seem not to want to do.

Using an OTG mouse does give you hover, but overall is not such a huge help as I thought. I found it impossible to drag new elements into place. Again, I found a workaround by using the Navigation window – existing similar elements on the page (or even a different page) can be copied and then pasted where required and modified.

It seems to me that it shouldn’t take a huge amount of development effort to avoid the need to mess around like this, most of the code must be already in place – oh well…

Sorry again for the confusion.

?I found that it was possible, but certainly not easy, to edit an Elementor page on my Android mobile. Just attached a mouse via OTG and used it with Firefox browser in desktop mode. Very hard to see on mobile (lots of zooming req) – a tablet would be better.

Not something I’d recommend for significant updates, but certainly feasible for emergency updates like text changes and simple additions.

Thanks for the clarification. I hope this is being worked on – with mobile editing fully supported by competitive page builders, this may be a deal-breaker for some.

Thanks for your comprehensive answer – yes, I did at one point have the download option enabled. I turned it off a while back. Great to have an explanation of where these files have come from.
I’ve had to delete them – they were filling my disk space so I wasn’t able to leave them on the server for investigation. I needed to stop the increasingly urgent disk space warnings from my hosting company.
Anyway, issue resolved – I’ll not enable the download option again – thanks!

Ok, I’ve found the option. During the insertion of the shortcode into the page, when you select Add Gallery Group, untick the “use default options” – this displays all the detailed gallery stuff, including a drop-down selector for choosing the display type for gallery groups, Thumbnails, Masonry, Mosaic, Slideshow, Image browser, Blog style or Carousel. This will stick.

Hope this helps Max as well.

Nice plugin anyway – thanks folks.

I’m a new user of Photo Gallery and am finding the same thing. Our photos are a mixture of landscape and portrait – having only Thunbnails available as an option chops the top and bottom off the portrait thumbnails.
Am assuming this is some sort of bug – can’t see why it would be designed this way.

Thanks for the reply. It’s pointed me in the right direction. I realise that despite some years use of WordPress, I’m pretty much a beginner when it comes to coding and functions. Happy New Year

This has been resolved. I was deliberately using version 3.6 as I was wasn’t getting very far setting up with 3.7. Have now allowed the update to 3.7 and not only have the previous difficulties disappeared, but the shortcode now works without admin role authority.

Nick, I did have this calendar set with “Custom” > (Your Timezone) when I first noticed this problem. Based on something in this forum, I then altered the setting to Site Default in the hope it might fix it – but it didn’t. Have left it at Site Default.

I’ve what looks like the same issue on
https://www.alresfordgolf.co.uk/

I’ve used the same workaround (one day before) – thanks Greg!
Both site and calendar timezones are set to London, GMT+0

Seems to be only all-day events that are affected, timed events do display. It’s only in the widget list view, widget grid looks OK, calendars within page are fine – I have pages with this month’s and next month’s calendar that are normal.

I’m using the premium version of WP Fastest Cache with the free version of WPtouch. My site https://www.alresfordgolf.co.uk/ is working fine on both desktop theme (iFeature Pro) and mobile WPtouch. Tested with real mobiles / tablets and with Chrome extension “User-Agent Switcher for Google Chrome” (very handy).

This is my cache settings page:

This fixed a similar font/icon issue for me:

I added their suggested code towards the bottom of my .htaccess file before the # BEGIN WordPress

YMMV – Ron

Nick – thanks for the update.

I was being a bit harsh (was grumpy) about grid mode in the sidebar. For what it is, it works well within the space constraints. Obviously at that compaction, only dots are initially displayed which I personally don’t find very appealing.

I’ll play with the grouped calendar feed to see how it turns out.

Don’t be too discouraged by the barrage of wails from the this end of the wires… you were very unlucky with the initial transfer script. I have already found things I like about Simple Calendar – e.g. easy definition of views by calendar month, I use that elsewhere on one of my sites to provide a printable monthly calendar and missed it when it dissapeared in GCE.

Upgrade from 3.00 to 3.01 fixed the problem that all my calendars went missing.
I spent an hour overriding all your new CSS and it looks like it did before.
This worked for me, it might no for anyone else.
.simcal-day-label, .simcal-date-format, .simcal-nav { display: none; }
.simcal-events { list-style-type: none; }

I tried the upgrade again on a test site – 3.01 fixed the upgrade issue but still left the formatting challenge.
Had to modify Simon’s CSS a bit for my theme – iFeaturePro – but now getting closer to the previous look.

/* Tweak Simple Calendar Widget */
.simcal-day-label, .simcal-date-format, .simcal-nav { display: none !important; }
.simcal-events { list-style-type: none; }
.simcal-default-calendar-list, ul.simcal-events, li.simcal-event { padding: 0px 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; }

Trashed my calendar feeds as well. Got them back easily but it was like starting from scratch.
And, oh, the widget… what in &Deity.’s name possessed you to impose the heavy styling on it!
Have started chipping away at this by inspecting elements and custom CSS
e.g.

/* not display simple calendar heading */
.simcal-calendar-head {
display: none !important;
}
/* not display simple calendar widget day labels */
.simcal-day-label {
display: none !important;
}
/* reduce spacing aroung simple calendar widget day */
.simcal-weekday-0, .simcal-weekday-4{
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: 0px;
}

but it’s heavy going and not easy.

PLEASE give us options to let the widget display as it used to without all the superfluous and over the top styling.

And I used to be able to have two public calendars feed the same widget – looks like that’s gone, presumably in the name of “simplicity”.
