Disable an element on desktop view (only show in mobile) using css?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to disable a CSS element on desktop view: in particular this #ez-toc-container. Basically I'm using a widget that only works in desktop view, and the #ez-toc-container, above my heading, is currently showing on all views (when I really only need it to show up in mobile when my widget will not).

Is it even possible to disable something on desktop view using css? I'm using a plugin to disable the widget on mobile view, but the plugin only works for widgets so I can't use it to disable the quick links box (#ez-toc-container) in desktop view. I read somewhere that it depends on your theme if you can disable elements in different view modes.

Thank you!!!!!

Hi there, to hide an element on desktop you can use a media query:

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
    #ez-toc-container {
        display: none;
    }
}

Wow that works beautifully. Thank you, learning a lot here :)

You're welcome!

As a note, GP has 3 built in classes for hiding elements on devices:

hide-on-mobile
hide-on-tablet
hide-on-desktop

So you can add these classes to any element you choose.

eg.

<div class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet">
	This content will only display on mobile
</div>

hiya, hide-on-desktop is not working for me, using it on a hook element to hide a footer on desktop but it's not hiding it!

Hi there,

can you raise a new topic where you can share a link to your site so we can take a look.

Hello David,

Rookie question: how do you add these classes to an element?

When I go to the code editor in an element, I'm not sure where to put this?

This is what I get (I only want to show this on desktop devices):

Can you open a new topic for your question?

This one is too old already.

Thanks :)
