Hi there,

I'm using Joomla 4.2.2, Joomlart's T4 Framework blank theme and Easyblog 6.0.8, and template sent to nickel to take advantage of responsive layouts (such as front entry and category pages 3 columns on a desktop and 1 column on a mobile).

My site has just "quietly" launched without publication yet so you can see this live on some devices by going to https://www.jamesdoranwebb.co.uk/blog and viewing the columns. The screenshot I have attached is using firefox's phone simulator for a galaxy 20 phone model but the same is happening on a nokia android phone and a few other phones, you can see the display is 3 columns and it is completely illegible.
Oddly on some devices such as iphones, the display is absolutely fine no problem.

How is the number of columns controlled, is it checking the device type or screen width to display one or two columns? I'm hoping there is some sort of fix for this, or an alternative "clean" responsive easyblog template which works better?

Please let me know if you need any further information. I did not come accross this problem until relatively recently as I am sure it worked a couple of months ago on my nokia android phone so perhaps I overlooked the issue with an update?

All the best,

Jaimie Dijstra
Hi Jaimie,

Thanks for reporting. I am able to reproduce this on my local instance. It looks like EasyBlog is rendering tablet layout on android devices. Will log this in our tracker so we can address it.

In the meantime, I have helped you apply a temporary fix in the following file. Can you try again and let us know how it goes?
