I made a background with a transparent row on top. This works nice to create the desired effect, however the background is not responsive.
A solution would be to make a sticky ‘hero’ image. Is this possible? How would i do that?
Thanks

Hi Mail Box
The manner in which you’ve spaced your row isn’t responsive, that’s the challenge here. Let me dig up a thread I worked this morning on the same topic.
Here we go:
Thread: Page Builder background image won’t rescale for mobile devices
Please, take a spin through that thread. It all comes down to how you’re adding space above and below your text. Let me know how that goes.
Studied the topic, but i have no clue where to start. Also that topic is about full size pictures, while i have a background which is not responsive.
I would like to achieve the scrolling effect like on this page: http://quinthaneveld.nl/
Sure; please, see: Thread: How to add parallax scrolling to a Page Builder row.
That is nice, 2 questions:
I can’t adjust the fontsize of the text displayed in the parallax image.
How do i get rid of the white on top of and below the parallax image?
To get rid of of some of the space above, add the following to Appearance > Custom CSS:
To rid of the rest, open the Visual Editor widget, click over to the Text tab and remove the first paragraph tag. If there is none just make sure there are no extra spaces there. Also, in the Visual Editor widget, un-check the auto paragraph checkbox at the bottom of the widget.
The content size is controlled by the Vantage stylesheet. To adjust, you can try adding the following to Appearance > Custom CSS:
Adjust as required.
Thanks, it is starting to look good.
Only thing is that the image in the parallax section is not responsive and on an android device it does not stay in the center of the image like it does on chrome or firefox
Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look? You can create the account with the following email address:
[email protected]
Just navigate to Users > Add New in your WordPress admin. Enter siteorigin for the username and [email protected] for the email address. Make sure you’ve selected Administrator for the role and enabled the “Send Password” field so we receive the details.
Once we’re finished taking a look, you can delete this account. We’ll let you know when to do that.
Andrew, the above mentioned issues are solved by removing the fix height in the parallax settings.
Remains one other thing and that is that the font-size of the text in the parallax section is not correct on android devices. It remains quite small. I changed the em to px in the custom css you gave before but that did not help.
Would you need an admin account for that?
Not sure about Android, I don’t have a device to test on at the moment. Either way we should drop the text size down a bit for mobile, or at least try doing so. Add:
Adjust as required. With that we’re setting text size up to 680px, after that resolution our previous rules, the ones I sent before, those will kick in.
This is a private message.
the css does not make any difference, whether i give 20px or 5 px, font stays the same in android.
It does work on my laptop, when i decrease the size of the screen to below 680px, the font-size changes.
I made an account for you, so you can have a look.
My hoster has an extra security layer, the login and password are given on the login screen (they are both antagonist)
Thanks for explaining. The CSS is correct and in place so I’m not sure why the font sizes would persist on Android. Can you clear your browsers cache on your phone? Perhaps it’s a caching issue.
You can perhaps try this:
Use the above and insert test sizes to see what happens on Android. Bit of a complex topic:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17102161/how-to-use-media-queries-for-android-devices-with-android-version-2-2-1-and-2-3
Cleared the cache but no luck there.
Your latest css does not do anything either unfortunately.
Phew, not sure we can offer anything further on this. If I knew the answer I’d certainly send it along. This is a third-party plugin so we’re already quite far along in terms of adding responsive behaviour to it’s workings. Hopefully we’ll have Page Builder’s native parallax feature sorted for the next release. That should make things a bit easier.
I understand and certainly appreciate your support so far. I’ll try to contact the plugin developer.
And it would be nice to see page builders parallax feature coming soon!
Thanks again
Thanks for your understanding.
It’s a tough little question. My understanding of the stackoverflow thread I sent is that your phone is using a higher res which is why our media queries aren’t working.
When we set the main sizes:
Did those changes reflect on your phone?
No, whatever size i give in custom css they are not reflected on the phone (or tablet).
Phone or tablet always show the same size. No difference in landscape or portrait.
That’s strange. Try this:
Temporarily remove all of your Custom CSS and try just the above. See it on the phone?
No, but it does on my laptop
Can you test with another browser on Android?
I found something:
I use chrome on my android, there is this option to display the desktop version. When i select that it does reflect the changes.
I’ve run a bunch of Google searches now. I’m not winning. No idea why our changes would be ignored. My idea to try another browser was to see if there was a caching issue.
Another idea is to open a private browsing window on the phone and browse using that in mobile view.
On the build-in browser of laspass it works fine as well, so it must be a chrome issue.
But when i switch to ‘use the desktopversion’ it works fine as well.
The incognito window in chrome has the same issue. But also shows it correctly when asking for the desktopversion.
Thanks for the feedback. Tough one for sure. So the challenge is that in mobile site mode Chrome Android isn’t seeing our Custom CSS changes. Did some more searching now. Still no closer to an answer. Sorry.
Ok cool, so that most likely rules out a caching issue then.
Found a workaround:
Inside the edit parallax screen don’t use the standard text or visual editor but use the page builder.
I made inside the pagebuilder a new row and added a visual editor widget.
Type in your text and make the background of both the row and widget transparent.
Unfortunately the parallax effect does not work on the android devices. But i’m not sure if it worked before. I concentrated on the font size. There is no need to make the row or widget transparent, it works either way.
One last thing, the setting for hover above the menu does not work. It did before but probably i changed something but i can not discover why it stopped working now. (kapper.sierink-wp.nl)
Thanks for the big breakdown there, it’s most helpful.
Something seems to be giving every single menu item the class of:
current-menu-item
WordPress issues that class to a menu item only when you’re on the page of the item. So, only one menu item should have that class at any one time.
No idea what’s causing this. Let’s try run a plugin conflict test.
I disabled all plugins but no luck.
The fact that each menu item is given the ‘current’ item class is probably true because they are anchor links to different anchors on the same page.
But it did work before………..
Thanks. Ahh, shouldn’t be the case…
Can I take a look?
Sorry, see we’ve done that. Sec. Checking now.
You were right. All linking to the same page. My bad. Fixed in Custom CSS. I added:
!important to override.
Line I added:
Great, i notice that after clicking a menu item there remain a few white dotted lines (part of a box) around the menu item.
Can i get rid of those? I tried it with: .main-navigation ul li { border: none !important } but that didn’t work.
That’s a browser default, there for usability. You can try:
Almost done:
– i managed to make a row expand automatically so it covers the whole screen (no matter what size the screen is), now i wonder if it is possible to automatically position the widget in this row in the center of the screen?
– when you browse to this section (http://kapper.sierink-wp.nl/#tarieven) you see that it is not in the width it should be i think. I set it to full width but it is not at full width. When i switch to full width stretched it does work as expected
– i inserted a tablepress (plugin) table, it should have no borders, but there are still these thin lines between each row. Is this the Vantage theme default for a table or does my browser add them?
Glad to hear you’re making progress:
1. You might try our Hero widget here. This is a tough question considering what Page Builder can do. Even if we help position the widget for desktop we’d need to re-position for tablet and mobile. It quickly turns into a custom development task. So my ideas right now are to try the Hero widget, see if that works for you.
2. Settings > Page Builder > Layout > Row Gutter. That’s set to 40px. The spacing you see is using this setting.
3. That’s Vantage table styling. At the following to Custom CSS:
thanks
1. I’ll try it. With
i can calculate the screen height on every device. I thought maybe this makes it easy to center the content.
2. i did not mean the spacing between the columns but the spacing to the left and right of the widget
3. sorry, that does not do anything
2. We’re discussing the same figure. Try adjusting the setting I mentioned for testing purposes, it should change.
3. Send a link to the page, please. Thanks :)
2. I set it to zero but made no difference. I think the ‘Tarieven’ and tables below it should be about 2/3 of an inch to the left.
3. http://kapper.sierink-wp.nl/
1. Edit the row in question by clicking the wrench icon, then Layout tab. What is Gutter set to?
2. TablePress is adding the style in question:
The about should resolve.
1. it is not specified, so should take the default value. The problem might be that the row is inside a parallax scroll item.
It is not a big deal, i just wandered why it did that. I hope the pagebuilder parallax function will be released soon. This Parallax Scroll plugin has a bit of issues it seems.
2. thanks, there is 1 line left on the bottom?
I can’t see your Custom CSS in place for the tables. Is it there? Are you running a caching plugin that might be showing me a cached result?
the last line is solved as well, thanks
This is a private message.
Cool :)
This is a private message.
Jeez, ya, we’re in deep now. Overlapping challenges with row layouts, Parallax plugin etc. We’ll have our built in one working as soon as possible.
You can see at the bottom of Custom CSS what I’ve tried to do. We’re hacking hard now. I can’t get the h2 to align without further custom work. You could look at where things are now and perhaps move the H2 into the first cell. We’ve, unfortunately just run into a limitation of what the plugin combined with our support offering can provide at the moment.
That’s ok
I’m quite happy as it is. Thanks again for the support.
Thanks for your understanding. We’re aware of these shortcomings and working hard to bridge them.
Cheers :)
