    Hello,

    my add listing form looks okay on large screens, but it gets quite messy on an iPhone 8 or smaller. I have attached some screenshots with red arrows that point to the issues.

    There are some inconsistencies in how the field (rows) are displayed. Some are displayed with title and input field next to each other, some beyond each other.

    This will cause long titles to overlap with the input fields, which not only looks weird, but also (in my case) prevents the user from checking a mandatory box (terms & conditions).

    Regards,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for your reply. Ok, try using the custom CSS code below and see if it fixes it. 

    @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .geodir_form_row ul {
    width:100%!important;
}

.geodir_message_note {
    padding-left: 0px!important;;
}

.geodir_form_row label {
   width:100%!important;
}

.geodir_form_row .geodir_textfield, .geodir_textarea, .geodir_form_row select {
    width:100%!important;
}
}

    Wow, you fixed it – thank you so much!

    Just some minor issues left:

    1. The text which is automatically wrapped in brackets shows extra blank space after an opening and before a closing bracket, which I would like to get rid of, because sometimes the lines brake in such a way that a closing brackets sits on a line on its own. (Please note listing form 4)

    2. Alex kindly provided some CSS code which lets us change the text size of the individual text occurrences of the listing form. I managed to achieve good results, but the line spacing changes from „this is what I wanted it to be“ in landscape mode to „too narrow“ in portrait mode. Can this be fixed with CSS as well? (Please note listing form 5 & 6)

    3. The (rather lengthy) text of my submit button gets truncated in portrait mode. (Please note listing form 7)

    1. There isn’t an easy fix for that. I recommend you alter the translation.
    2. You can do that with custom CSS. If you want to change it for mobile only you will need a media query as explained here: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
    You can also check through the forum for examples.
    3. Again, the fix is translation, there, or complex CSS.

    Thank you for your reply, Alex.

    I understand that if I want to solve the issues 2 & 3, I will need to train my CSS skills (which are none right now).

    But maybe you misunderstood the issue 1. These mentioned brackets have nothing to do with translation. They are generated automatically by the ‘Fieldset (section separator)’, which I have used several times and sent you one example in the screenshot ‘listing-form-4.png’

    I have typed the description text with no bracket at all, but they get wrapped in the frontend, which is nice. But not so nice is the extra blank space after an opening and before a closing bracket. Is there nothing you can do about it?

    Just in case someone has struggled with this as well – I just solved my issue 2 (the one with the line spacing of the field labels on portrait mode) by adding an ‘important!’ to the code. This code did the trick:

    /* GeoDirectory V2 – Add Listing Page field labels – */
    .page-id-10648 .geodir_message_note {
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 18px!important;
    }

    Hello Kor,

    glad you chimed in! There are just 2 issues left:

    1. Geodirectory’s ‘Fieldset (section separator)’ ads extra blank space after an opening and before a closing bracket. (listing-form-4.png)

    2. The ‘submit’ button gets truncated on mobile devices. (listing-form-7.png)

    Thank you for helping me out!
