Hey, it’s me again.
I have a problem with the way my site looks on mobiles.
I have static main page, made with Composer. While on desktop it looks the way I want it, on mobile is different.
What I mean is mainly block 15 with 5 posts in. On desktop it is horizontally, but on mobile it is vertically even though it’s plenty of space to fit those little boxes.
It looks terrible. Is there any way to change it?
I tried Mobile Theme plugin, but it doesn’t work really well, it displays mobile version even on some desktops – based on feedback from my readers. I had to delete it.
Hi,
I could take a look, please post a link to the website. Block 15 in a full row will indeed show 5 posts per row – http://prntscr.com/njdaw5 while on mobile it will show 2 posts
– http://prntscr.com/njdbc5
If it doesn’t look like this, there may be a problem. Let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
I made a mistake previously, in my reply. Block 15 set in a full row, when on mobile will look like this http://prntscr.com/nkx21w -> http://prntscr.com/nkx24t
In your case the block behaves alright, but seems the post titles are missing
– http://prntscr.com/nkx3id – http://prntscr.com/nkx3pg
So the block will not look good on mobile at least. On the right side of the thumbnail the post title should appear.
Did you maybe make changes to the excerpt length for that module? Please check here

Let me know.
Okay, I now see what’s the problem, thanks.
But I also have a problem with other things. Can you help me?
First – Block 24 shows no posts – I wanted it to be “Popular in the last week”, so there’s Category filter – all categories and Sort order – Popular (last 7 days). It shows nothing…
Second – Big Grid Flex 9 shows miniatures with moved images. What I mean – when I have a main image for the post it’s good but on Grid it is like moved down instead of cenetered. In other miniatures images are cropped… What image size I should use for my website so all would look good?
Also – is there any way I could make a sidebar on the main page the way it is inside the posts? Right now when I want to change the blocks, the other main content on the page is moving and getting bigger – depending on the size of the block in the sidebar.
I would really appreciate your help
The popular post sorting requires this option to be active in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/7-days-post-sorting/
Once you activate that setting the theme will start counting the views posts get. For this to happen the post views have to be active – http://prntscr.com/nli2rx
Posts should begin to appear in the block after doing this.
Flex grids can use a few thumbnail sizes to choose from http://prntscr.com/nli4ue
Also alignment slider – http://prntscr.com/nli53d so you can display the top, middle or bottom of the image.
There should be enough setting to achieve the result you want.
Depends, in a page a sidebar can be created by for example splitting a row like this
– http://prntscr.com/nli67u
In that column you can either add elements directly from the composer, or use a widget sidebar and select from your existing widget sidebars

Let me know if you need help or you have more questions.
Hey,
I tried the options for the Big Grid Flex 9 and unfortunately nothing works, the pictures on the main page are still wrong, I don’t know how I should do this so the images are not cropped… Please help
Hi,
All the thumbnails the theme created are cropped – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
A center top crop was considered to be the best solution overall. Using flex grids you could use a larger thumbnail and orientate the focus on the image
– http://prntscr.com/npnppu
Maybe you can achieve the result you want like this. The way the theme crops the images to create thumbnails can’t be changed by a theme setting. It is done automatically. Let me know if you have more questions.
