Summary:
Post-launch mobile testing revealed several layout inconsistencies and visual bugs across various templates. Freshy’s development team quickly audited the live site, identified the causes—many tied to discrepancies between Divi Builder preview and live output—and implemented targeted fixes to restore responsive functionality.
Issue background
Shortly after a WordPress site launched, multiple mobile display issues were reported, including:
- Cropped or misaligned top navigation menu
- Missing icons on mobile nav
- Excess padding and inconsistent font sizes across sections
- Text and heading breaks occurring mid-word
- An unexpected play button overlay on the homepage hero image (not present on desktop)
- Specific mobile styling issues with overlapping images and team member boxes
Screenshots and examples were provided for reference, but a full site audit was also requested to identify additional inconsistencies.
Diagnosis
Upon inspecting the site, Freshy’s team noted:
- Some discrepancies between the Divi Builder preview and live site output, likely due to cache issues or mobile-specific overrides.
- Global typography settings were not consistently applied, leading to font size and paragraph style mismatches.
- Template-specific padding and alignment rules were not optimized for smaller screen sizes.
- Team member box styling broke layout alignment due to missing fallback logic or inconsistent image dimensions.
Resolution steps
- Cleared cache and confirmed correct domain
The development team confirmed that testing was being done on the live domain (not staging), then flushed all caches to ensure the latest styles and scripts were loaded. - Navigation and icon fixes
CSS adjustments were made to correct the mobile navigation bar height and restore missing icon visibility. - Global typography standardization
Divi global settings were revisited, and custom CSS was applied to enforce uniform paragraph styles across all templates. - Hero image overlay removed
The play button overlay on the hero image was conditionally hidden for mobile views, matching the intended desktop appearance. - Team member box alignment
Image aspect ratios and padding were corrected to ensure equal height across boxes, even when profile content varied. - Final verification
Screenshots and manual device testing confirmed that all major issues were resolved.
Final outcome
The site now displays as intended on mobile, with consistent fonts, clean layouts, and properly aligned sections across all templates. By rapidly diagnosing and resolving these post-launch bugs, Freshy delivered a polished mobile experience and ensured the client’s site performed seamlessly across devices.
