Home page layout specific for mobile

Posted in: Newsmag

My home page has 2 sections that reside on the right bar. These 2 sections are important like the main News sections. In the desktop version this works well: the user can scroll the news having the right bar always shown. In the mobile instead the right bar is shown after the last article of the news section.
The best here would be to have shown, for the mobile version only, 5-6 news articles only so to let the user eye jump to the other section.
Can this be done in some way?

Hi,

Unfortunately theme doesn’t have an option to use a different sidebar on mobile view, but you can try to hide some blocks from the main content(if you refer to this) for mobile view so the sidebar will appear slightly above.
I don’t understand exactly what you mean with “to show 5-6 articles..” …. on sidebar or main content?
Please provide a link and screenshot to see what you want to hide on mobile screen.

Thanks!

Ok here is a home page screenshot http://awesomescreenshot.com/0684jy3w61.

I’ve higlighted 3 sections: Main (upper photos), News (body) and Other Stories (sidebar).

The Main and the Other stories section have less articles shown, compared to the news. This is intended since the Main will obtain the main focus when opening the site, the Other stories instead will remain on the screen during the scrolling of the news articles (approx 20 before pagination).
This works well in the desktop version.

In the mobile, the user to obtain access to the Other-stories articles has to scroll down the Main + all the 20 news before having a look to the others. That’s why I think that a possible solution is to reduce to 5 the number of news before the pagination, so that even the mobile user can have a fast overview of the main page… how can this be achieved?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option to do this only for mobile. Now I understand you use a block with load more pagination for news. All you can do is to set less articles to display when user push load more button: http://screencast.com/t/N26ahtyVDTCG this it will apply also on desktop screen) so on mobile screen after 5 posts will appear load more button and after the user will see sidebar.

Hope this helps!
