RESIZING BACKGROUND IMAGES ON MOBILE

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

This question seems to have an impossible outlook. I have been trying to resize 'background-images' on mobile in 7.1. As you may know, background images can either be 'full bleed' or 'inset'. I prefer to use 'full bleed', however, in mobile, it just doesn't look right. I don't want to make compromises.

As you can see from my attached file, I essentially want to shrink my background image, so all of it fits in. 

 

Any solutions?

Try this code by tuan. Paste this code in your custom css located in your design menu. 

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
.collection-ID Here.view-item #page section:nth-child(1) {
    min-height: 50vh !important;
}
}

Also did you delete “ID HERE” with your collection Id?

So for example it could look like this.

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
.collection-5e77e8500ff82c23205f2869.view-item #page section:nth-child(1) {
    min-height: 50vh !important;
}
}

No it did not do anything.

The only css that had some effect was

 

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="5f95e4dc3867be310249b267"] {
    min-height: 80vh !important; padding:49.9px;
}
}

It was posted by Tuan on a different thread. But not much changed as you can see from my first post in this thread

I tried this, but nothing happened also

 

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="5f95e4dc3867be310249b267"]

.section-background {background: url ("https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f00b8715206ef2e13b8f42b/t/5f9832477fd0716136af4379/1604248792602/Banksy.jpg");

background-size:contain !important}}

I'd recommend designing a separate section specifically for mobile where you can even use a different image

and use CSS to
Hide the Desktop Version on mobile
Hide the Mobile Version on desktop

 

something like:

@media only screen and (max-width: 640px) { [data-section-id="5e57aca14e2df00530a6382d"]
{display:none}}


@media only screen and (min-width: 640px) { [data-section-id="5e57aca14e2df00530a6382d"]
{display:none}}

You need the find the section ID with the Browser Site Inspector
