Title: About width in mobile Last modified: August 3, 2018 --- # About width in mobile * Resolved [nickpapag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickpapag/) * (@nickpapag) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/) * I have one (maybe stupid) question about mobile experience.When in mobile i notice that the site is not fixed and i can move it with my finger a bit to left and see background color. I see other sites with evolve fixed, that i cannot move them. Can u please explain why this happens? Thanks in advance and sorry if i cant see something obvious. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fabout-width-in-mobile%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557612) * Do you know the screen resolution of the mobile? Maybe the counter circle makes the issue because they have set min width 220px. * Thread Starter [nickpapag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickpapag/) * (@nickpapag) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557785) * [@romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) Romik i see this also in Donna ‘s site without counter circle. My mobile is a xiaomi redmi note 2 1920 ×1080. I’m thinking that maybe has to do with fixed or full width layout. I see this also in all pages without any plugin but just some text. * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557883) * Found the bug…it relates to position and shadow effect of the footer. will be fixed in the next version 😉 * Thread Starter [nickpapag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickpapag/) * (@nickpapag) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557888) * You are the leader! * [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557923) * Just a quick note — I had that problem too on my site, but for me it was in desktop view. I thought that the modifications I did to the header or slider might have caused it. Here is how I fixed it: * CSS: * `body {overflow-x: hidden;}` * [@nickpapag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickpapag/) – I tested this on your site using Chrome developer tools, and it works to solve the problem you described. Nothing moves. * All this does is prevent the site from having a horizontal scroll — when viewing on a desktop you can see that without this, the site has a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom. But on a responsive site, ordinarily you wouldn’t need that. * [Romik84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik84/) * (@romik84) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557935) * [@abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) better than hide an extended width is to don’t make it at all :). Position relative can make issues if using the flex system of the Bootstrap. In this case e.g. in footer area widgets I had modify the shadow effect which makes the scroll issue now on both (desktop– mobile), so it will not overflow the width and it won’t create the scrolling issue. * [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/) * (@abigailm) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10557993) * I agree, but in my case, in order to get the layout for header & slider elements the way I wanted, I had to create extended width by using negative margin values. * That’s why I didn’t report the scrolling problem — I can see that on some sites it is caused by the footer width exceeding the rest of the page width, but in my case I thought it was also due to the header/slider values I had coded. So I didn’t think it was a bug– I thought it was just an artifact of my own customizations. * In particular, for the slider I wanted the button off to one side rather than stacked under the caption, so I coded a value like this: `.carousel a.button{ float:right; margin-right:-300px;}` * And it worked to get the button placement I wanted– but I was thinking that the negative value for right margin was also what created the scroll problem I was having. * And I realize that’s sloppy coding on my part. It’s better to recode the html rather than trying to compensate with the CSS, but that gets tricky working with a child theme, especially when I know that you are actively in the process of refining the updated version. - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [Abigailm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abigailm/). * Thread Starter [nickpapag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickpapag/) * (@nickpapag) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-width-in-mobile/#post-10558028) * I can understand only a little of what you are talking the two gurus :). I’m still learning a lot in this forum… So i dont have to do something and i’ll wait the update from romik. Thank u.
