I have reskinned http://peggywho.com with a fixed background in Tumblr. However, as I am adding posts to the website, the mobile view in ipad and iphone doesn't allow the background to stretch across the page. It has black space at the top and bottom (I'm unable to add an image as I am new here)
custom CSS for the background is as follows:
body {
margin-top:15px;
background-position:center center;
background-image:url('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2633376/PS_web_BG_01.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
I am relatively new to coding so still learning my way around. Is there anything to add to the HTML or CSS that would allow mobile viewing to replicate the website, which looks the way I want it to look?
Thanks in advance

I have a Facebook Like/Share box (copied from the code on Facebook) in between my Twitter and Google+ icons.
On the browser version of my page (scroll most of the way down to see the buttons), everything is aligned perfectly. On my iPhone, the Facebook box is about 20px below the rest. I have tried all sorts of HTML and CSS coding, and nothing seems to get the mobile version to look right.
I was able to set up a class to move the Facebook box up by 20px, which made it look great on the iPhone but way too high on the Chrome version.
Check by adding the width attribute to the anchor tags of p element,
p a {
width: 30%;
}
I'm having an issue with getting Googlebot to correctly render my webpage(s).
It's rendering the header and one "row" of my page (just the page's top background picture), and then failing to render anything beyond that, not even the footer, missing about 3/4 of the page.
My site is www.runparis.fr and screenshots of the rendered fetch are attached.
Other potentially relevant information includes:
The code that was fetched is missing nothing
The fetch status is complete (no missing resources)
The problem is site-wide; it happens on all my pages
When I check the cache the whole page is rendered perfectly
Fetch as Google (mobile) renders the site perfectly
The site looks fine in any of my browsers
There's nothing funky going on in my page; It's just background images and text. Easy stuff.
My questions are:
Will google's inability to render the page have an impact on how Google ranks it?
Is there any advice for solving the problem and having google render the page correctly?
Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer!
Googlebot render 2
Edit:
I've done another Fetch as Google and render for a test page and found that Googlebot will stop rendering after it has rendered any background images that I've set to "full height" in my page builder in my Wordpress installation; that is, any image that is set to take up the full height of the browser window kills the render.
So, it will render everything until it hits this image, renders that, and then stops.
As stated before, my page isn't fancy; It's just simple background images and text. It surprises me that Googlebot has trouble rendering what any browser can render perfectly, especially given the simplicity of the pages!!
So, my questions are:
Will Google not being able to render my page impact the way Google ranks my site? (given that what's in the cache renders fine on my browser)
And, Is this a common problem? Are there any fixes that will let Google render my pages correctly?
Some new information supplied by an external source:
"validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Frunparis.fr%2F"
"jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frunparis.fr%2F&profile=css3&usermedium=all&warning=1&vextwarning=&lang=en"
The various errors and warnings might explain why rendering is hampered in some tools such as Google Fetch and render.
Browsers are much more forgiving than all these validation and rendering tools.
I'm guessing that in Google's rendering tool the css rules that set the background image(s) and foreground image(s) and text content are being applied in the wrong order so background stuff ends up on top of foreground.
Does this new information help anyone understand why Googlebot would be having trouble to render the page?
I have experienced the same problem, the only viewable thing on the renderer was the hero section, and it was caused with defining height:100vh; for the hero section.This problem occur when using vh css units, or in some cases height:100%;
Here is the thread and discussion that really helped me out to understand the issue:
I believe that the google bot is doing this:
1. Looking at your website with a 1024x768 viewport.
2. Checks how tall the window.scrollHeight is
3. Resizes it's virtual browser to be the same height as the window.scrollHeight
4. Takes a screenshot and
5. Checks to see what elements are visible, and tallies SE score as appropriate. (Dinging content that is not visible.)
I partially solved this issue with inserting extra rules into mediaqueries: So for resolutions around 1024px width, I put max-height:800px; (rule height:100vh; stayed active) on my hero section, and on mediaquery for rules around 1280px width and up, I set max-height:none; (rule height:100vh; is active).
I'm still loosing around 30px of height in the renderer, but that's being cut off at the end of the page, with no text and any meaningfull content.
I have the similar issue with (Google Mobile-Friendly) tool and (Fetch as Google) mobile version is broken because Googlebot is not loading my style.css and affect my rankings
so I output my stlye.css code for mobile manually
add_action('wp_head','load_mobile_styles');
function load_mobile_styles () {
if( wp_is_mobile() )
{
ob_start(); ?>
<style>
enter code here
</style>
<style>
enter code here
</style>
<?php
echo ob_ob_get_clean();
}
}
I have created a website using Adobe Muse and have uploaded the site to the ftp server . The website is live and is as designed when looked via a desktop. But when the same site is being viewed from a mobile, the entire page is getting left aligned and there is a gap to the right side. I even made a phone layout and uploaded the same to the ftp server and the problem still persists. Ive googled a lot and inserted html code into the metadata to make the site centered but in vain. Nothing works . I have a tight deadline and would really be grateful for any quick help.
maybe your images are placed in pixels... If I am right
try using a rectangular tool... fill it with image then make the width 100%
to view the sample image click here
The size of mobile layout in muse is fix... I think the mobile you are using have different size... so just start using % on placing the images like the background etc.
There's a setting that was causing my content to be left-aligned in the phone layout.
Click Page > Page Properties
There's an un-marked button to the far right of Padding - click this and set it to centered. By default it is left-aligned.
When I load up my app, either stand-alone or inside Facebook canvas, theres an iframe with a inline height and width property that's basically blocking all app links and functions because It's somehow sitting on top of everything.
I'm not an experienced Facebook app developer and was wondering what's going on and how to handle it? I've identified the css in Google Chrome but don't know how to remove or prevent the styles since the iframe is not part of the dev package I cloned. The app is up on Facebook and should be viewable using facebook.apps.com/datingfordummies
Thanks in advance
Fixed it. I simply removed the width and height property in my css. I would have done this initially but was afraid it would effect the other iframes on the page. Needless to say, it didn't and is now working.
for future reference:
iframe{width:0 !important; height:0 !important;}
I have a mobile site which I'm testing on the iPhone, and unlike most other sites, I'm not able to hold my finger on the screen to get the 'copy' menu to appear (with the draggable handles to select an area to copy). Nothing happens at all on my site.
I've tried adding the following to my style sheet but it hasn't made any difference:
-webkit-user-select: text;
I should also state that I have the following also in my style sheet and within the page head:
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
I've got these as I didn't want the content to be scalable, and just wanted the content to span 100% of the device width.
Would the implementation of any of the above be causing the lack of selectable text on the site? Out of interest, I tried the flickr mobile website which also is not scalable and uses 100% of the device width like my site, and that also doesn't seem to come up with the draggable/select area for copying when you hold your finger on some text.
Does anyone have any idea why this is or how I can make the text content (or any content actually) selectable for copying/pasting?
Thanks
are there any elements that may be obscuring the items by overlaying them, etc? a z-indexing issue, perhaps?
