Recommended Posts

Apparently my clients website look different on her computer and macbook pro than it does do my macbook pro. We both use google chrome. She lives in the US though while I live in Norway. Can distance change the look of a site too? The differences is the space under the background image.

I logo and navbar is nothing to worry about because I changed it after she took a screen photo of her site. For her the space under the image is huge, and is affecting how the site is suppose to look. While for me the space is not that much at all.

How do you guys see the site?

Is it possible to do so it look the same on all devices? at least pc and mac.

On the pictures I attached, version 1 is my client and version 2 is how it looks for me. She want it more like my version, less space under the image. What do I need to do so the site look the same for everyone?

yes I checked the site on my friends computers, and the site do look different on different screen sizes. The bigger screen the bigger space under the image. Is it possible to change so the site look the same on any screen?

Hi,

The issue is that you have this in your custom CSS:


.simplenav {
margin: 125px;
padding: 20px 0;
text-align: center;
}
[/CODE]

The Margin is causing the issue, I recommend you try and position your simply nav menu in a different way. Try removing the margin and see if that resolves your issue.


Please search our forums, before posting!

I removed the margin and it looks good at least on my screen. Don't have any chance to check on other screens at the moment .But the navbar position moved a little bit too much up. Is it possible to change the navbar position without using margin?

Several things:

First, when scaled, the logo remains static, and non responsive, causing the logo to move from one bit to another.

Next, it's clear that the branding doesn't show, nor does the menu at the bottom (literally) against the color background image.

You can see the two images shown in full scale (100%) view.

It's almost impossible to view the branding or menu.

The last image is at 60%, but you'll see how the branding slides to the left. That's caused by incorrect CSS.

Where do I start so the site will at least look a little bit more alike on different screens? Most important is the logo and navbar position. The logo is suppose to be over the image and the navbar is suppose to be on the bottom of the image on the blurry part

I think you need to start with basics of the PageLines Framework.

There seems to be lots of customization but not all of it's working. How did you set this up to begin with?

The home page contain of 4 elements. The background color. The background image. The logo and the navbar. On PageLines Framework I set the bg image on page settings for home. the image is set on do not repeat. 100% vertical, 50% horizontal and scroll.

For the background color it is just suppose to be on that page. So I customized it at the css custom code.

.page-id-13 {

background-color: #01293D;

I also customized the logo and simple nav position using custom code. I'm having a hard time to position the logo and the simple nav

I think the best way to implement your navigation would be to put it inside a Content Box section (available from the PageLines Store) and use CSS to position it. However, the position may still vary from browser to browser.


Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to.

Ah okey, like the logo in one Content box and the image in another content box? Right now it's not the different browsers that are the problem, the site just look different on different screens. But I might try your idea :)

Yeah by separating it into different sections, you'll be able to get it more uniform. :)

If you consider this topic resolved, please let us know - thanks!

      Hey Guys,
       
      I am building a website for a client on a test domain on my personal hosting and I would like to transfer the pagelines site to their domain and hosting.
       
      What is the procedure for backing up the site, including the pagelines data?

      Guys,
      If I want to link to parts of the same page to make a one page site how would I do this?  I know in regular html you name your section then link to it but not sure how this would do this if I cant name a section.  Any help would be appreciated.

      I completed a photography site with pagelines and it works in all browsers except chrome.  Was working in chrome but then just stopped and not its blank there and the guy is a bit upset.  I've tried clearing the cache and deactivating plugins but its not bringing the site up in chrome.  The page is blank but the code is there.  Would really appreciate in insight because this is not a test site and it is live.  www.picturesfromtheheart.net

      Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to edit the mobile version of the DMS site, or will it always reflect the Desktop version?

      I am specifically referring to the layout of sections, and whether they can be moved around to suit mobile better.

      Thanks
