Issue With "Fixed" Nav Bar On Mobile Devices

[mattpato 0]

Hi, 

I have been trying to fix this for a while now and have had no success. 

 

I have the fixed navigation bar activated on the site, however when you open up the site on a mobile for example on an iPhone and zoom in on the page, the "Fixed" nav is not fixed at all and ends up taking up 80% of the screen blocking the content. 

 

Here is my site: www.ijailbreakthis.com 

 

I have added no custom CSS to the fixed nav, so not sure what is going on. 

 

Please help, thanks in advance. 

Cheers, 
Matthew

Hi Matthew

 

The site seems to be set to responsive in the layout editor, the entire page is acting responsivly except for the div labelled 'my-add-image'. Has this been added as a hook? If so you'll need to make sure the media is added so it acts responsively (using a % width rather than a static px width) so it resizes with the screen. The navbar seems to be moving in line with the full width of the content, its the add above which is keeping the page at a larger size.

Sorry, that just confused me... could you explain to me again what I need to do?

I have added :

 

.top_ad{

width: 100%;

}

 

 

But the fixed nav is still not working right.

Even if the div labelled 'my-add-image' is removed the top fixed nav still does not work correctly.

Hi,

 

I just looked at your site on an Android (Samsung Galaxy SIII), and zoomed in and out.  The fixed nav did not occupy any more space than it should. So I suspect that it needs some browser specific CSS.   We have a free plugin for that called Browser Specific CSS found at Dashboard > PageLines > Store > Plugins > Top Free.

 

I did take note that after zooming back, the fixed nav bar did shift to the right, remaining there, but it did not block any content. The problem I noticed with that is simply that the navigation disappeared off the fixed nav.  This could be the result of some custom CSS or a plugin conflict.

Thanks for the comments, I have just tested on an iPad and the fixed nav is perfect (zoomed and normal). It just seems to be iPhone?

 

What specific CSS do I need to add? 

[Rob 547]

I think that's what Browser Specific CSS plugin tells you. Did you install it?

 

Here's the plugin page:  http://www.pagelines.com/store/plugins/browser-css/

Yeah I have it installed, but I can find what I need to know. To be honest I am not even sure what I am looking for. 

[Rob 547]

I just remembered, we have a docs page!  http://support.pagelines.me/docs/plugins/browser-specific-css/

Thanks I found that, but what I am saying is that I am not sure what needs to be added to make the fixed nav stop doing this. We have figured out that it seems to be effecting the iPhone only, so it needs a .iphone css class adding but what needs adding before it? 

[Rob 547]

Honestly, I have no idea.  Do you use Firebug for Firefox or Chrome's Inspection Tool? Either of those should point you to the element that needs a solution.

[mattpato 0]

Yes I have it and am using it, however still have no idea what CSS code is needed to prevent this.

Getting to the point now where the fixed nav is becoming more hassel than it is worth. What is the reason that it is doing this, have others had the same issue? 

[Rob 547]

I haven't seen this issue come up before.  It could be a plugin conflict or a conflict with CSS (either custom or from a plugin).  It's very hard to tell.  I'd recommend deactivating your non-PageLines plugins, to see if the issue resolves.  Reactivate each, one at time, checking after each reactivation if the problem recurs. When it does, the last activated plugin is the problem.

I have deactivated all plugins and it is still an issue... grrr. 

[Rob 547]

I will alert our developers to see if they can identify the issue. Thanks for your patience.

No worries, if you could please keep me in the loop and let me know where we are and if you need me to do anything. If you try to write a comment on a post the fixed nav drops down to the comment field and wont go away! 

[Rob 547]

As soon as the developers have a chance to read through this thread, they'll either reply directly or answer me.  Either way, you'll be kept in the loop. Meanwhile, don't deactivate it, so they can see what it's doing.

Thanks, have we managed to get anywhere with this yet?

Hi guys, could someone please fill me in with any developments? 

[James B 436]

Evening, I've checked with Rob for you, he's not heard back from the developer team yet though.

 

Checking your site this evening the navbar seems to be stretching the full width of the site now on the iphone. http://screencast.com/t/nD9fMa7U

 

Even when zoomed in I'm seeing it stretch right out to the edges of the screen - http://screencast.com/t/FCRA9kPr

 

I can't see that div with the 'my-add-image' id anymore, did removing that resolve the layout?

Hi thanks for checking back in. 

 

I have removed the fixed nav and replaced it with SaleBar for now. However when you try to write a comment on one of the blog posts the fixednav/sale bar still drops off and gets stuck in the comments box... see image > http://www.screencast.com/t/gGP0ujP1wK

 

This also happens with the fixed nav. 

 

Removing the 'my-add-image-' has played no effect at all. 

 

Cheers.

Hi there, ok I can see it happening in the comments box on the iphone. It's strange as I 
can't get it to replicate on mine. 

Try using the below css to see if this will force the width and edit the font size on the 
iphone to get it to fit all in one line full width. 

/* iPhone [portrait + landscape] */

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)

{ .pl-salebar .sale-text {font-size: 9px;} }

 

/* iPhone [portrait + landscape] */

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)

{ .pl-salebar {width:100% !important;} }

 

Let us know if that has any effect.

Hi thanks for this, I have added the above CSS and it seems to have improved the zoom issue a little however the problem with the comments is still happening. 

 

Fixed nav drops off and gets stuck there when you try to write a comment.
