Now Google says - not mobile friendly
7 replies · Started by Pearl on April 16, 2016
Tom,
My site was mobile friendly & everything was fine, but today when I checked, I didn't pass, & the reasons given were:
- Content wider than screen
- Links too close together
I have fully updated - theme, wordpress, plugins, etc.
Can you help?
My site is: http://www.aStorybookLife.com
Thank you so much,
Pearl
It's not saying it's not mobile responsive to me, but it isn't getting high scores.
I'm assuming it's one or a combination of plugins you're using.
Try #1 on this page: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/debugging/
- I deactivated every plugin - still not compliant
- Went through my ftp & removed any unwanted files - still not
- Removed everything from my robots file - still not
- When I check Bing mobile - the site is compatible
Google mobile still says no
Where is Google saying no?
They were saying "no" on the whole site using the mobile friendly testing tool.
After a long time of trying to figure this out, I finally did!
I had several posts that had "featured images" on them - using the featured image option on the right hand side when creating a post. I went through my entire site & removed the featured images, & now the site passes the mobile friendly test with google.
Perhaps there was a setting in a recent update that needed to be changed to allow for featured images - while keeping mobile friendly?
Thank you so much for trying to help!

Featured images shouldn't make your site no mobile friendly - I think the tool might be mistaken.
What version of WordPress are you using?
Tom,
I'm using version - 4.5.2
What tool are you using to check if it's mobile friendly?
