Hi – I am using the motif theme and mainly using the front page template with a feature image. The text box fits all of my text neatly in and displays well on my desktop, however when I view it on my ipad I am missing half of the page and it doesn’t allow me to scroll.

My site is http://www.rippleconsultancy.com and in particular the pages that has the most text on it that gets cut off when viewed on my ipad is http://rippleconsultancy.com/our-prices/pricing-rws/

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Megan

Note also that the About page is incompletely displayed. Can that be adjusted? I don’t presently have a mobile device to try to duplicate the issue you describe.

I too noticed the behavior described by @careerandchildren on their blog and on iPad and also with one of my blogs on computer as well.

This looks like a bug but I may be wrong.

As you both may be aware…

From the About Motif documentatio at the bottom of the Motif demo page, with emphases added:

Motif is a crisp, minimalist and fully responsive business theme.This means your site will look good not only on desktop and laptop browsers, but also on devices with smaller screens, such as the iPad and iPhone.

I’ve tagged the topic for Staff attention.

yes I understand it is a fully responsive theme and overall I am very happy with it. Unfortunately the text box display gets cut off when viewed on my ipad. It’s actually fine on the iphone. It is almost as if my ipad isn’t picking up that it should be displayed as the mobile site and is trying to display it in desktop view.

thank-you for your responses so far.

I had a look at this page on iPad and I see the cut-off text that you mean:

Could you please try choosing a different page template other than the Front Page template, which is designed to be used with a minimal amount of text placed over a fixed-height featured image. For example, you could try the default, full-width, or grid page template.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for confirming Kathryn. I suspected front page template is not designed to contain heaps of text.

Thank-you – I will change the template to the full-width one and see if that helps. It’s a shame as I really like the layout of the front page template. In fact I really love the whole Motif theme.
