Story links not clickable on mobile devices ... help!

    The story links on my front page are not clickable on mobile devices (my Android phone or tablet). They work on a laptop no problem.

    www.legendsnation.com

    It is the section marked "recent news" which uses the side posts widget. Another part on the main page that uses HP Category seems to work fine.

    Please help! Thanks!

    Hi there,

    I tested on an Android tablet and, although they kinda work to me, in fact you need to double click the items to switch tabs. This looks to be an android bug with the carousel script used for the home tabs, I'll look into this but it won't be easy to improve that, can't really suggest something right now unfortunately.

    Thanks for the heads-up

    Just to clarify, I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. The scrolling three stories doesn't show on my android device, so I didn't know if that was by design or if that is a bug. But that wasn't too much of an issue since I had a recent news stories widget anyway on the page that was visible on mobile.

    What wasn't working was the recent stories widget where I used the "Mighty Mag - Side Posts" widget. I couldn't click on those postings. I just switched on my site that area to "Mightymag - HP Category" and it works. You can verify by going to my live site again and try ( www.legendsnation.com ).

    I attached a screenshot of what setting I had in the Homepage Left that didn't work on mobile so you can see.

    I have tested something, and here are the results ...

    http://legendsnation.com/widget-testing-page/

    On the sidebar I have two widgets ... the top is "Mighty Mag - Side Posts" with two posts, and under it "Mightymag - HP Category" with two posts. All are working fine and clickable. So I believe what you mentioned can be part of the problem. It seems on the front page using the scrolling three images at the top in combination with the "Mighty Mag - Side Posts" causes the stories within the side posts to not be clickable, but if I use the scrolling three images at the top in combination with the "Mightymag - HP Category" (as I have on the main page now on the website), it works. Having a page without the top three scrolling stories, everything works. 

    Being that is the case, can you maybe check the coding of the "Mighty Mag - Side Posts" versus "Mightymag - HP Category" to see what is different since the side posts doesn't work in combo with the top three scrolling, but the HP category does? That might fix for now.

    Sorry I'm really confused now. I was referring to the HOME TABS not widgets, although I still can't replicate nor verify the problem.

    Please create a page where the issue is actually there (I couldn't verify any issue on the widget-testing-page), and post the direct link and tell me on what device to test it to actually see the glitch, thank you.

    Hi there,

    thanks to your video I was able to replicate the issue, thanks. 

    First of all let me say the Side Posts widget, as the name says, it's meant to be placed on the actual sidebar, not the HomePage sidebars. 
    That said I'm not 100% sure why this is happening, looks to be related to Bootstrap classes. Try by pasting this as custom CSS:

    @media (max-width: 767px) { .col-xs-12 {float:none!important!} }

    Seems to fix the issue for me.

    Hope it helps

    Thanks djwd! I have decided to not use the side posts option now with the layout, so this issue doesn't affect me at this point, but if I decide to go back to it, I will add in that coding.
