How can I keep page/project title from extending off-screen on mobile?

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.meganhochstrasser.com/

I have three main words ("projects") listed on the homepage of my site (screenshot 1). They look great on desktop but on mobile, the word "Communication" is so large that it extends off the screen. This is also happening in the header on the Communication page (2) and in the bottom-screen navigation that directs users from the Science page to the Communication page (3). Is there a way to adjust these without making them smaller on desktop?

Thank you in advance for any help!

@tuanphan Thank you!!!!!!! That fixed the homepage issue, but not those shown in screenshots 2 and 3 (the header text on the Communication page and the link to the next portfolio page at the bottom of the Science page). Any ideas for those? 

 

Also, this is probably separate but I'm using a built-in Squarespace font called "Poppins" and it isn't displaying on Safari on mobile, but seems okay everywhere else. I see solutions elsewhere for this issue with custom fonts, but am confused as to why a standard option would have this issue and whether the same fix will work.

}
/* science */

@tuanphanThank you SOOO much! This all worked perfectly.

I use the Personal Plan.

Try add a Code Block on Site Footer >> paste this code >> Then save & reload the site

@tuanphan Thank you for this, I tried it but don't see any difference on Safari on iOS. I also just tested Firefox and Firefox Focus on mobile and the fonts display correctly in Firefox but not in Firefox Focus. Any other ideas?

@tuanphan Another update, I just tried this on my partner's phone and the fonts display correctly on Safari for him. I have an iPhone Xs, he has an SE. Not sure if this provides any clues!

 

(By the way, I also had to make all the "communication" text you helped me with even smaller to fit onto his small screen, so it was a useful test device. Hopefully now things will look okay even on devices I don't have handy.)

Sure thing, here's a screenshot from Firefox (correct):

Still didn't work! This is tricky... I tried clearing my cache and disabling some mobile ad blockers/security apps too. Any other ideas? Thank you for all your help so far!

@tuanphan Would it be crazy to try adding “Poppins” as if it were a custom font? I’ve found a lot of your answers to people’s questions about custom fonts not displaying on Safari, wondering if this could be a workaround. I hope that makes sense!

You can remove above code & try contacting Squarespace Customer Care to see if they has another solution. Poppins is Squarespace font, it should work..
