Mobile view in Newspaper 8 not calling up correct CSS

Thank you for the update to Newspaper 8. Like a lot of users there are some teething troubles as we settle in.

One is the view on mobile devices. More often than not it doesn’t render the CSS correctly, giving us this view:

Mobile view

Welcome any ideas to put it right!

Hi,

It seems none of the stylesheets can be loaded as they are marked as insecure

Thanks for this.
It was working under the old Newspaper 7 template, and it is only this view that isn’t showing properly.

I have to admit that this bit of coding is a bit beyond my knowledge. The articles you link to are interesting but I can’t see how to adapt them to my site.

I tried adding this to the .htaccess, but it made no difference.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.wokinghampaper.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

Adding this code breaks the site:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yoursite.com http://www.yoursite.com;
return 301 https://yoursite.com$request_uri;
}

I’m scared of breaking the site as I don’t know quite what I’m looking to change.
The advice seems to be to change settings from http to // in css, but I can’t see those options in the newspaper .style .css.

Thanks Simion for replying, I appreciate it.

Hi,

You could try this plugin, and see if it fixes the problem

It seems to be recommended as the first step to take in these cases.

Thanks
