* I have a problem with the theme’s mobile layout. On iPhone 5 width, the right
side of the website is blank, seems like as if something (an image or text) pushes
the right margin out of the layout, but actually there’s nothing that could cause
this. I looked up other websites with the same theme and all look the same.
* Screenshots:

* Please let me know if you have a workaround for this. Thanks!

* I’ve just recognised that someone else reported the exact same problem in [this topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-width-in-ios-version?replies=6).
Sorry.

* Hi stylep – no worries! I’m actually very interested in your report, since one
of your screenshots – [http://i.imgur.com/X1RMwy2.png](http://i.imgur.com/X1RMwy2.png)–
is from a WordPress.com site.
* I visited this site on both a real iPhone 5s (running Safari with iOS 8.2) as
well as the iOS simulator. On both devices, I didn’t see the gap as seen in your
screenshot. Could you please let me know what browser you took the screenshot
in, and what iOS your iPhone is running? Is it an iPhone 5, or 5s? Thanks!

* stylep – could you let me know if you’re still seeing this issue anywhere, and
if so, could you provide the info above as well as the URLs of the sites in question?
Thanks.

* Hi! yes, the problem is still there on my own site (which is still not a public
site) but it seems to be fixed on the wordpress.com site. I’m using 5s, iOS 8.2,
Safari.

* Also, I partially solved the issue (of having a gap on the right) by changing
the meta viewport to .
* There is still a horizontal movement/scroller which is very bothering if you
browse a blog on your phone.

* Thanks for confirming the issue is fixed on WordPress.com.
* Do you see a gap on the Syntax demo here? [http://wp-themes.com/syntax/](http://wp-themes.com/syntax/)
* Could you please go into your theme’s style.css file and copy the line at the
top with the version number, like this:
* ```
* Version: 1.0.1
```
* Could you also let me know if you downloaded the theme from WordPress.com – so
your theme folder would be named syntax-wpcom – or from here at WordPress.org,
so your theme folder would be named syntax. Thanks!

* I found the link to your site in your other thread:
* Looks like you’re running version 1.0.1 of the .org version of Syntax. I see
how you’ve gotten rid of the gap by adding
``. I also see the slight horizontal scroll you’re
referring to. I’ve passed all this info along to our developers so we can try
to get a fix in place once and for all. Thanks for your reports!

* Kathryn, please remove the website URL in your comment above. I don’t want it
to be found in this forum. Thanks for understanding.

* Just a heads-up that this issue should be fixed in the current version of Syntax.
If anyone is still seeing an issue with the mobile display, please start a new
thread and we’ll have another look. Thanks!
