• I have found some threads from last year about this topic. I just finished adapting my website http://gifwelt.info/ from an old theme to customizr. Now on small devices the left sidebar menu is shown above the content. I activated “below”. Since I have two huge menus in the sidebar, you have to scroll very, very long to see the content.

    Is there a simple work around? I’m not that experienced.

  • Having looked at your site, I don’t understand your question. On small devices, the menu turns into a Hamburger menu which temporarily fills the screen until you select the item you want.

    Can you give a more precise example?

    OK, first of all, on my cellphone Note 4 I don’t get the customizr theme on the start page. I get the old (deactivated) mobile theme from Jetpack. Then I click on “Ganze Seite sehen” (see the whole page) on the bottom of the starting page and I get the starting page with the customizr theme.

    At this point, you cannot see the defined page, that should always be shown on the starting page. To see this page, which is My favorite smileys, you need to scroll a long, long way.

    Then, after this favorite smileys, comes the menus from the right sidebar, which is OK.

    If you click on any menu item, it is the same problem. You don’t see any gifs, unless you scroll a long way down the page. These menus from the left sidebar should be below the content.

    There is only a small part of all the menus behind the hamburger menu. And even then, you have to scroll down two big menus from the left sidebar.

    I hope you understand now better. πŸ˜‰

    OK, I should have started by recognising that the Czr Theme is not been presented at all on all Viewports!

    Note when Inspecting the code:

    1) This is reported:
    ZenCache fully functional :-) Cache file served for (http://gifwelt.info/) in 0.00109 seconds, on: Dec 28th, 2015 @ 1:44 pm UTC.
    which seems to suggest you are serving cached files that need clearing out.

    I also had that idea. So I cleard the cache in Chrome and Firefox on my cellphone. Unfortuantely there is still the old themed starting page. How do I get rid of the old theme? I also restarted the phone.

    Apart from that, do you see tha customizr theme on the phone and do you still have to scroll down a mile to see the content?

    Thanks for helping me so far. You helped me already a year ago or so. It’s nice to see that you are still active here. I appreciate that a lot! πŸ™‚

    Aha! Got it. I had to clear the cache in WordPress. (I also do have some light moments… haha!)

    But the main problem remains. Do you have any idea?

    Well done, I can see Czr now.

    The answer is to use Flexbox. I’ve just finished a Tutorial over Xmas which you may want to try.

    If you need help, will take me a couple of days to get back to you.

    You’re trying to say that I have to build a mobile theme by myself? I thought, that’s included in the customizr theme. Honestly, I don’t want to spend many hours to learn how to do so. I prefer to buy customizr pro, if the problem is solved in the pro version.

    It’s not a case of building a mobile Theme. Czr is responsive in both Free/Pro versions. The underlying code is very similar, with added features in the Pro version.

    What I’ve suggested is using latest CSS3 techniques that will allow you to re-order elements in the way you want.

    Forum rules do not allow me to exchange contact details with you, but the solution is too much to handle within the Forum.

    I understand, that the solution is quite extensive. It seems that I do not understand the basics. Beeing a “normlal” user, I thought, the setting would exactly do, what I need: left sidebar below content.

    The setting in sidebars > responsive design says (free translation because my system is german)

    Various settings for responsive design
    Dynamic arrangement in the sidebar for small devices
    Activate to move the sidebars (if any) for smartphones or tablets after the content.

    I activatet that point but it is not working. The left sidebar with an extensible menu is shown above the content.

    As I already mentioned, I am a “normal” user and do not have the skills to make big changes to the CSS.

    My menu is huge, with lots of submenus. WordPress does not allow menus with more than 90 or so entries. That’s my problem. Otherwise I would create a single menu which would go behind the hamburger menu.

    When Inspecting with FF & Chrome Developer Tools, the order is:
    – Header
    – Ich fasse text
    – Main content
    – Category Menu
    – Smileys Menu
    – Footer

    which seems correct?

    However, on iPhone6S it’s actually showing as:
    – Header
    – Advert
    – Category Menu
    – Ich fasse text
    – Main content
    – Smileys Menu
    – Footer

    Please confirm the order you are expecting.

    I’ve just tested the basics (in Localhost) and it works as expected. I’ve used:

    Content>Front Page
    – Front page layout: 2 sidebars

    Sidebars>Responsive settings
    – Dynamic sidebar reordering: Checked

    Will take a closer look at your style sheet.

    Hello,
    that feature stops working when you have iframes (in your case google ad senses) both in the main content and in the left sidebar.
    Try removing the widget from the left sidebar and it should work.

    Alternatively you can use this plugin
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic

    which will allow you to not display the widget in mobile devices, using this “code” in the Widget Logic field for the specific widget:
    ! wp_is_mobile()

    Hope this helps.

    Heureka! It works! You where so right, d4z_c0nf (what a name! πŸ™‚ ) Thank you all for your much appreciated help. I removed the google ad from the left sidebar and everythin is fine.

    Thanks!!!!

    Thanks to this post I found this theme with hamburger menu, so great ! Thank you !

    Now just trying to land on website with menu expanded and maybe put the hamburger on the left. Do you think that it’s possible ?

    Thanks again.

    Repeat post πŸ™
