Responsive design doesnt look right

Hi,

Ive been using the Newspaper theme for a number of months now and one of the things that is still really frustrating me is how my pages adapt to mobile. It just doesnt work properly. Its really frustrating that there isnt a way of being able to tweek how a page displays on mobile. I am finding that every time i design a new page, I am having to think about how it will look when it displays on mobile. This is making it difficult to design good looking pages as I feel so restricted in how I can structure them.

For example, if I have use a ‘flex box 1’ and have three posts displayed horizontally under a category title, they all look great on the desktop. With the resposnive theme however when it changes to mobile, it basically crams all three posts horizontally with the titles being crammed into the same amount of space but displaying vertically down the page. It looks aweful. Surely there is a way of making the flex box display posts vertically on the mobile theme so that they display properly on the mobile page? Obviously if I make changes to the structure when displaying in mobile mode, it changes in desktop mode too. It just all seems so rigid. The responsive design does not display content on mobile in the most logical and easy to read way!

Many thanks

Hi,

If you are using a flex block, not bloc, like flex block 1 you can set the layout of the block per device, therefore on desktop you can display 3 post inline and on mobile you can display the one above the other -> https://i.imgur.com/m2xRgkb.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/5BxDfs9.png -> https://i.imgur.com/oj1RFtd.png you can customize the flex layout how you want per each device.

Let me know the results!
Thank you!
