Headline Widget – scaling on mobile devices

Hi.

My headline widget displays very small (unreadable almost) on mobile devices if held portrait. On landscape it shows fine as with tablets and desktop/laptop.

I presume it is because I checked the “Use FitText” box at the bottom of the widget settings.

It uses the default H1 font, and if I uncheck the FitText box, the headline shows incorrect on mobile portrait view.

Here is the site in question (check the bottom two paragraphs on mobile portrait view to see what I mean): http://kingfisherconsultinggroupllc.com/services/

Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Leebrett7,

    Technically, yes, however, the actual issue isn’t FitText it’s your widget settings – specically the padding. Basically, you have 200px of total horizontal padding added for that widget. 200px on a mobile device is huge and as a result of FitText, which will resize the text to fit, the text is really small. For reference, the green area in this image is your padding on a mobile device:

    Please open the SiteOrigin Headline widget that has this issue and head over to the widget styles sidebar, open the Layout settings group and set a (much smaller) mobile padding amount. Alternatively, I would recommend changing the standard padding to be % percentage based so it changed depending on resolution. Make sure to adjust it as 100% padding is also huge.

    Hi Alex.

    That is literally the dumbest wordpress mistake I’ve ever made. Cant believe I didnt think to double check the layout settings. Regardless – Thank you so much for pointing it out to me.

    The issue is resloved.

    keep up the great work!
