Cassiopeia Template - Responsiveness Question - Compatibility

Post by martiniturbide » Mon Mar 24, 2025 8:12 pm

Hello

I have an issue with the Cassiopeia, but it is not bug of the template. It is how it is being used.

On some specific web browser that we use, the Cassiopeia template looks "narrow" like if it was being displayed on a phone or on reduce window size browser, even that the browser is full screen.

By the way changing the template "Layout" to "Static" or "Fluid" does not provide any change on this browsers.

I'm part of the OS/2 community (OS2World.com) that uses alternative browsers like Dooble and we keep fighting to keep the chromium engine (webkit) updated by we can not be at the latest level because of lack of resource and technical complexity.

Is there something I can test like turning off the "responsiveness" of the Cassiopeia template to try to test if the browser is always trying to display the "narrow" version of the site? Or is there is any other suggestion (Change to the template code) to display correctly the OS2World.com site on this kind of browsers.

Regards

If I use Firefox browser Developer Tools to Inspect the div below the header, <div class="site-grid">, I can make it similar to your screen shots by turning off the grid-template-areas. So it looks like your browser is not implementing grid layouts properly.

Hello.

Someone at the OS2World community helped me out and let me know that it seems that older browsers does not recognize the "<=" in width of the .css template.

We did a testing by changing all the width on template.css like:
from
- @media (width <= 575.98px)
to
- @media (max-width: 575.98px)

I created template.css on the template child that I have, and it seems now to run on Dooble for OS/2, but still gives me problems on Firefox 45 for OS/2. But it is an step ahead for us.

Then update your browser?
