Hallo, and many thanks for your response.

While I was waiting I thought I would give minimising all the images (though they were not giving an http error message) a try. I did this for all 40 images and reuploaded – and they uploaded!!!!

Gary,
Thank you for this.

It works, with the exception of standard posts with featured images on the left viewed on a smaller screen. On a regular screen it has the red background I would like (yay!) – but when I look at the post on a smaller screen the categories, author name and date of posting are “invisible”

The post fromtheroots.co.ke/sculptors-of-mapungubwe/ is an example of this kind of regular post. Viewed on a smaller screen those 3 things are probably in white font. Is there an exception css for when the standard post moves to a smaller screen/is in responsive mode?

Also, many thanks for all your brainstorming and css help!!!

Hi Gary,

The name and date do appear now on that particular post. I checked on other posts to confirm this was the case across the board and found it not to be so. eg: http://fromtheroots.co.ke/a-year-later-on-being-back/ and
I don’t know how to send a screenshot.

You’re right those are conflicting requests.

I have decided I prefer the look of the categories without the red background in mobile and small screen versions of posts or where the featured image is at the top of the post and not on the side.

ie, on posts with the featured image to the side I would like to have a red background to the categories (currently present with the code you provided). I would like to add code that gives an exception instruction for posts where the featured image is at the top, for mobile screens, or where there isn’t a featured image.

Thanks!!

Ho Gary,
Thanks for your help.

The code you shared is what I had tried previously. Here is a post on the site with the code as you requested:
http://fromtheroots.co.ke/a-thief-is-made-crime-in-nairobi/

On the website version it looks perfect.
If you view the page from a smaller screen eg a smartphone or perhaps even a tablet, the categories appear above the title of the post and 1 the commas are in a different colour and 2 the post author name and post date are invisible (font has become white).

I would like to have the mobile version not have a coloured background and appear simply as ‘plain text’ with the regular font and grey colour of the rest of the page.
Greatly appreciated!

🙂
