I am developing a website with a desktop and iPhone 4 viewport. When I am doing the bulk of development and viewing it through my desktop's browser using a viewport chrome extension, it is rendered fine and looks good. But when I view it on my iPhone 4s the width is corrupted. I have no logic that tells it to act like this. I cannot see what the issue is, was wondering if anyone could think of some possible problems?
Desktop (at 320 viewport): -----
iPhone 4S:
Query used for the .container{} class that wraps the entire site.
.container {
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#media (min-width : 320px) {
.container {
width:75%;
}
}
Many thanks for your help.
You likely have two problems at work here that are unrelated to your .container. Why do I think this? Your menu is showing up nice and large but your other content isn't. You said .container wraps everything. So we shouldn't be seeing a discrepancy there.
So, you're two problems are likely related to:
You're probably missing some meta tags in your <head>. It looks like media queries seem to be working for you, but your scale is off. Try adding in <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Your menu styles. Do they have a set size? Is there a media query that's adjusting it?
Without seeing the menu styles, I can't really say what exactly is wrong there...
use this code for iphone 4
Screent width Between 320px to 480px
.container {
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#media and (min-width : 320px) and (max-width : 480px) {
.container {
width:75%;
}
}
Else use below code for <320px widht screen
.container {
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#media (max-width : 320px) {
.container {
width:75%;
}
}
And your mistake is, You wrongly put min-width : 320px instead of max-width : 320px
More...
My best guess is that it's something to do with the Retina display. The viewport on your desktop measures pixels on an ordinary display. On a 4s 320 pixels are not actually full screen - instead it's 640. You should check out the device pixel ration query http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/retina-display-media-query/

I'm working on my portfolio for responsiveness on mobile using scss. I tried to use padding or overflow: hidden; it's not working and I also tried to overwrite it using(!important), it's still not working. It's not taking any properties at all for this media query. but takes property for larger screen #media screen and (max-width: 950px) when I inspect from chrome browser. What do you think might be a solution to this problem?
I tried to use padding or overflow: hidden; it's not working and I also tried to overwrite it using(!important) and the justify-content:unset; it's still not working. I'm expecting it to take the property of the smaller screen. mobile size of 390 * 844, like iphone 12pro A51/71
here is what I've tried for smaller screen:
#media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.about-container {
padding-top: 2.5rem;
}
.controls {
overflow: hidden !important;
justify-content: center !important;
}
}
but on inspection, it's not taking the properties and i tried other browser, it's still the same.
I'm new to WordPress and CSS; currently creating a WordPress site and on the last stretch. I need to figure out a way to override the current padding on desktop and laptop sized browsers, as the elements are stuck in the middle with padding on either side on mobile devices.
I've tried to create my own CSS but it's not working (im rubbish) so I'm hoping some experts can help. I tried this below-
#media all and (max-width : 780px) {
.column{
padding-left:0px;
padding-right:0px;
}
}
The webpage I'm testing it on is https://www.xordium.co.uk/your-cloud-journey/
Thanks!
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.vc_custom_1528804063483 {
padding-left: 20px !important;
}
}
simply put this in your style.css file with the width you have set your width as i write 600 for example.
Hope this will work for you.
This is a site that I am coming into after the developer quit. I have got everthing done but I noticed that it no responding below 480.
Here is the site
Here what I have in the head
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Here the css for that part:
#media only screen and (min-width: 321px) and (max-width: 480px) { There some css in here }
This is a custom template for wordpress that someone created. So I am at alost I have worked many hours trying to figure out what is wrong with it. I hope someone can help PLEASE!
This should answer your question:
#footer .partners {
float: none;
width: 494px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
This div is never going to get any smaller than 494px. It also will not let it's parent(s) get below the width of it's widest element, which is this one, which is why the entire site will not go below this width.
What this CSS is saying is that the rules said in your media query will be applied when the width of the screen is between 480px and 321px. If that is what you are trying to do, it seems to work fine. Here is some test CSS and the JSfiddle result (resize the JSFiddle window)
#media only screen and (min-width: 321px) and (max-width: 480px) {
body {
background: red;
}
}
Can you be more specific in what your trying to achieve, it seems to work fine for me.
I added #media screen css in an effort to change my website but it doesn't seem to be responding. I added meta name = "viewport" content="width=1200, width=device-width" to the HTML and that was the only thing that effected the way my site looks on my phone. In the CSS I added the following but it has no effect.
#media screen
and (max-device-width: 768px)
and (orientation: portrait) {
body {
max-width: 600px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 0;
}
}
#media screen
and (max-device-width: 1000px)
and (orientation: landscape) {
body {
max-width: 800px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 0;
}
}
So how do I:
Get this to work, is my CSS wrong?
Is there a way to specifically get rid of the #sidebar in #media screen css?
Try This (Not Tested)
#media handheld and (orientation: landscape),
screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
body {
max-width: 800px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 0;
}
}
It is possible that an old version of your CSS file (before your changes) has been cached by your phone. If you have PHP, a nice way to get around this is:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css?ver=<?php print filemtime('styles.css') ?>">
That way, the stylesheet is only redownloaded when it needs to be.
If you don't have PHP, you can always just change the ?ver= paramater by hand each time you make a change in your CSS file.
This may or may not be your problem, I don't know. But it might help.
Code looks alright to me. Have you tried to do a hard refresh?
shft + f5 to my experiences fixes CSS when you don't notice a setting applied. Also deleting the cache helps too!
Also to get rid of #sidebar
#sidebar{
display:none;
}
will hide it when you hit your #media.
Hope that helps :)
#media works for everything. e.g my phone has a width of 720px for eg. when you have CSS #media for mobile at 720px; the following CSS will apply if that makes sense. Should read on mobile first responsive design if that's what you're trying to achieve, but that's a whole different topic. As for the code in your #media, you are targeting mobile devices, not laptops/computers. Incase you're not aware of that. so if I'm thinking right the CSS will apply only to mobile devices. For laptops/pc, #media (max-width: xxxpx) {} would do it :)
Thank you to Akira Dawson for the display portion. It appears that I needed to get rid of content="width=1200" for it to display properly on my iPhone. In addition what I ultimately did was got rid of #media screen and changed it to #media handheld for it to take effect on my iPhone. For whatever reason #media screen would not work. It's interesting because I was told #media handheld doesn't work on the iPhone but apparently it does.
As far as I understand it content="width=1200 says that your site needs a viewport of at least 1200px which is contrary to max-device-width: 768px
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" /> should probably fix your problem.

I'm trying to create a website that is "responsive". I found a tool called "resizemybrowser.com" which tells you what the size of the browser is. I've been using this information for my media queries inside my css.
What's curious is that when i navigate to this website, the browser width doesn't change when i rotate my device from portrait to landscape. The height property does show a different value, but the width is always 980px and I don't understand why.
Thank you.
EDIT 1:
I also tried to play around with the "outer" setting in the web tool "resizemybrowser.com". now, it does display different sizes for portrait as opposed to landscape mode. It returns 720 for portrait and 1280px for landscape on my galaxy s3. However, when I test out my media queries using these values, it's still picking up the media query for 720px for both landscape and portrait. Here's the css:
#media only screen and (max-width: 720px) {
.hero-unit {
background: url("../img/1.jpg") 100% 100% no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
width: 20em;
height: 10em;
padding:0px;
}
#media only screen and (min-width:721px) and (max-width: 1280px) {
.hero-unit {
background: url("../img/2.jpg") 100% 100% no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
width: 26em;
height: 10em;
padding:0px;
}
h2 {
font-size: 1.8em;
line-height: 1em;
}
}
EDIT 2
I've tried adding the following line in my code but it didn't make a difference.
<meta content='width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;' name='viewport' />'
I think you need to add
<meta name="viewport" content="width = device-width">
Compare results with this tag and without, see section Media queries. On my device, it works exactly as you want.
