Sidebar not displaying on mobile

Good afternoon,

I’m having an issue viewing my newly created sidebar on mobile, both iOS and Android. My sidebar shows up beautifully on a desktop but only the “title” displays on mobile, no content. I’m looking to use this on my homepage to help streamline workflow, but since it just displays a blank widget I’ve deactivated it, and moved it to a NEWS page here:

Hopefully someone has an answer cause this plugin is a lifesaver for what I’m trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

Hello,
the problem is not due to the plugin Posts in Sidebar, but to the current stylesheet of the theme. The plugin only gets the articles and put them on the page. After that, it’s job of the theme to display them correctly on the page.

A quick workaround could be this:
```
@media (max-width: 500px) {
    #single-col, #sidebar-col {
        float: none;
    }
    #sidebar-col {
        width: 65%
    }
}
```
But my advice is to review the stylesheet and how it displays the content on the page. For example, if I view your page on a phone, this is the result:

The page title is truncated, as you can see.

Let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply. The post content I was attempting to pull in were marked as “private”; they would show on a desktop, just not on mobile. I simply “published” them and they began to appear on mobile devices. The widget works great!

I made a number of changes over the weekend; curious to see if the page still truncates for you? I couldn’t reproduce it. There are though a number of other slight theme issues I’m attempting to work around.

Much appreciated for the feedback!!!
