Why is My Post Bleeding Off the Screen on Mobile? – IHUBApp Support

If you've noticed that your post appears to be bleeding off the screen when viewed on a mobile device, it's likely due to custom code inadvertently copied from another source that uses a static width.

When creating or editing posts, users often copy content from various sources, including other websites, documents, or emails. This content might contain hidden formatting or custom code that isn't immediately visible in the editor. One common issue is the inclusion of a static width in the code, which specifies a fixed size for an element. This fixed size may look fine on a desktop but can cause layout issues on mobile devices, where screen sizes vary significantly.

To resolve this issue, you can edit the custom code within the WYSIWYG editor's code view and modify or remove the static width settings. Here’s how you can do it:

Open Your Post in the WYSIWYG Editor: Navigate to the post that's experiencing the issue and open it in the WYSIWYG editor.
Switch to Code View: Look for an option to view the HTML code represented by an icon with <>.
Identify the Problematic Code: Within the code view, look for any elements that have a width attribute with a fixed value (e.g., width="600px"). These could be div, img, table, or other HTML elements. Using CTRL+F to search for "width" specifically will help with this in larger posts with a lot of custom code
Modify or Remove the Fixed Width:
- To make the width responsive, change the fixed value to a percentage (e.g., width="100%"). This allows the element to adjust its size according to the screen width.
- Alternatively, you can remove the width attribute altogether if it's not necessary for the layout.
Save Your Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, switch back to the normal view and save your post.

Example: Original code with a fixed width:

<div style="width:600px;">
  Your content here.
</div>

Updated code with a responsive width:

<div style="width:100%;">
  Your content here.
</div>

To avoid similar issues in the future:

Be cautious when copying content from external sources.
Always check the code view for any custom styles or fixed dimensions.
Use relative units like percentages (%) or viewport width (vw) instead of fixed units like pixels (px).

By following these steps, you can ensure your posts look great on all devices, providing a better experience for your readers.
