Text for image descriptions is not there in gallery block on mobile

I created a gallery section in an index page in order to have rotating quotes appear on the homepage of the site. There are no images, and I just added the quotes in the image description.

For some reason the text is not showing up on mobile. Does anyone know why or what I can do about this?

The site is in Squarespace 7.0 and the template is Pacific.

Thanks!

If I had to guess Squarespace often has differences between desktop and mobile layouts. Mobile will often drop elements of the layout because of limited space.

Calendars will drop images on mobile. Galleries may drop text on mobile.

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

Please set up a site-wide password, if your site is not public and you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site.

Please read the site-wide password and how to share a link documentation to understand how they work.

We can then take a look at your issue.

Sorry for not adding in the original post; Squarespace asks the site url when you create the post, so I thought it would be included somewhere.

Fortunately Squarepace. in this case, is just hiding the text so it is possible to make it visible again.

Add the following to Website > Pages > Website Tools > Custom CSS.

@media only screen and ( max-width : 640px ) {

  .collection-type-index.design-slideshow .index-gallery .slide-meta .description {
  
    display : unset;
    
    }
    
  }

This is for v7.0 using the Pacific template family.

Let us know how it goes.

While I'm at it, any thoughts on removing the slash showing there is no picture uploaded? (I can also upload a white background I guess, but removing the slash seems like it would be a better idea...)

From what I can tell the images you used for the gallery are no longer there and so SS is grabbing an image not found backup image and it is more apparent when in mobile view.

I suggest a one pixel transparent png image. Upload it once, then for the rest of the pics, search for the image in your Asset Library.
