Hi bloggers!
We’re about to improve how the Wix Blog displays on mobile by adding new functionality in mobile editor settings, starting with custom font sizes.
We’d like to learn more about your needs and any challenges you’ve experienced when viewing your Blog on mobile devices. Please share your feedback in the comments.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
This is amazing! I just sent in a ticket to support on this topic. I'm about to launch our "industry news" portion of the website, and for the life of me I couldn't find any way to adjust the mobile view when in the blog post section. The result being a very large font on the mobile view that was incredibly unpleasant to read. I would only need a way to adjust the size of the font to make it more legible.
I can only fit about 4 to 5 words per line vs. NFL.com mobile view
Hi @Thomas Miller,
thanks for the reply - we are working on it ;)
Hi @Simona Griskute
Since we are on the topic of mobile formatting, it would be great to also add the ability to superscript and subscript in the blogs as well. It is critical for being able to communicate in terms of chemical nomenclature, as well as being beneficial for referencing journals/articles, among other things. How long do you think these changes will take to implement? Or should I look at alternatives for the blog portion of the website that are more customizable? And if so, would you recommend any third party blogs to work in tandem with the Wix platform?
Hi @Thomas Miller,
thanks for your comments. Superscripts and subscripts feature is in the Wishlist and I'm adding your vote too. We're currently considering text editor upgrade so your feedback is very much on time. However, I can't share any ETA when it could be implemented.
As for the alternatives, check the blogs available in the Wix App market to see if they provide the necessary feature:
I think it would be a good idea to sort out the issues with the desktop version first! Please see my recent post.
Hi @James Hunter,
referring to your another post - the log-in button colouring is a bug which may be not on Blog side - after quick investigation of your personal cases, we decided it's best for you to contact Wix customer support for them to deep dive into the issue.
The mobile look of the Blog is missing love which we aim to provide by introducing separate mobile settings.
I noticed that the actual menu has a glitch. For example... I click on one of the pages. I go to it. Then I want to visit another page by bring up the menu again...the menu won’t load/show up—thru mobile.
Hi @sararozalina,
thank you for reporting. This is because you hid the elements of the blog menu, but didn't hide the blog menu itself.
Please turn off the blog menu by toggling off 'Show blog menu' toggle:
Your readers then will easily navigate through your blog category pages using the main menu.
Hi @Simona Griskute
We still do not have the ability to change the design of posts, but only the blog in general. While some users can change everything. I saw that Wix updates several new features, but we do not have them :
Just like changing the titles of categories at the design level as I told you by phone. It's still not possible and it's been a long time. Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my bad English :)
Hi @SEBFRENCHY,
it is nice to hear from you!
The mobile settings are available to users who have access to post page settings. We're gradually rolling out the post page settings to all users. A bit more of patience and very soon you'll be able to customise your Blog.
@Simona Griskute Thanks for your fast reply :)
We are looking forward to having access to this. Thank you so much.
Hi Sebastien,
ça va bien? :)
In case you didn't see it yet, just wanted to update you that post page customisation is now available for all users! Try and let us know how it goes - what works fine, what is missing. Curious to hear your feedback!
Cheers,
Simona
Hi @Simona Griskute ,
I'm raising below 3 issues on Wix blog mobile display about which I will really appreciate your support cause it's frustrating to my blog visitors. Some of them let me know about this bad experience. Thank you.
Large font and x-large zoom on Wix blog Mobile display (same issue raised by @Thomas Miller ).
Recent Posts doesn't show post title, it only displays a few words on mobile view. The same issue also happens on PC view.
3. My blog's most popular landing page is loading slowly. Google analytics warns me that it takes up to 24 seconds to load this page and 92% of my site visitors use mobile devices.
Hi James,
thanks so much for sharing your feedback. Let me quickly go over the points listed:
The customisation of font for mobile is already available, please read about it more here: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/updates/new-customize-the-look-of-your-mobile-site
We're investigating the issue, thanks for reporting.
We're working on the performance, thank you for letting us know the feedback, super helpful!
Really love this - very user friendly. My blog is used as a writing portfolio, on desktop the blog post appear in full, but on mobile, it's just a teaser, and you actually have to click on it to read it in full. I would prefer this not happen, I would like the post to appear in full on mobile. How can I make this happen?
Hi Tanya,
thanks for sharing your feedback and needs - that helps us a lot. Introducing more layouts for mobile is in our plans, I'm including your request for full post in the Wishlist - it is not available as for now. Thanks again!
That would be ideal! Especially for bloggers that are sending traffic to their domain through the likes of Instagram. Full feed posts are really essential!
Thanks
A couple issues:
1. when you search categories a login option comes up, and a location pin... I'm not sure why these features would be placed here for
a visitor to see?
2. You can't actually click on a post on the recent posts section. There don't seem to be links attached to it ... it's static
Hi Tanya,
thanks for raising your questions - it helps us to understand your experience with the Blog. Please find my comments below:
1. The key and locations elements are native of your iPhone device. It's not related with the Blog - but with your phone settings.
2. In the recent post widget the title is clickable - it is working as expected.
Let us know if you have more questions!
I have integrated the Postcard format on my website and with Mobile view, the posts cannot be selected at all. This bug is very annoying!
Can someone please take care of it?
Hi @Vincent Gessler,
I just checked your site and can view posts both on desktop and mobile.
Could you please describe it in more details/send screenshots?
On the mobile version you cannot click on the blog posts on the main page.
Thank you @Vincent Gessler. It should be a bug, the fastest solution would be to change the custom feed widget to Post list widget (you can customise the layout to look similarly). Let me know how it goes!
Still doesn't work on my main page www.gesslercapital.com via my mobile device.
