Title: Responsive Column Width Issues Last modified: June 19, 2019 --- # Responsive Column Width Issues * Resolved [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/) * (@latitudenick) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/) * Hi, * I noticed on my test-build local site that my user-defined column widths are not holding true in their respective tablet/mobile breakpoints. If I set a column width to 10% in desktop and 20% in tablet, the values do not hold when testing on different devices. I did a quick inspection of the CSS in tablet view and see that the code is crossed out and the desktop value sticks. And when in mobile, I have it set to stack, so it’s not an issue. * I exported the page on my localhost and uploaded it to the live site and the issue persists. When I build from absolute scratch it appears to intend as expected. * I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions? It seems like the breakpoints are coming out differently and I can’t wrap my head around it at the moment. * Deactivating plugins and/or switching themes does not resolve the issue. I have also cleared cache, regenerated CSS and switched the CSS print method. * Here is a quick video: [https://www.loom.com/share/683d7fed0651405ebf593301ed32eae4](https://www.loom.com/share/683d7fed0651405ebf593301ed32eae4) I’ve recreated the issue on my site and provided a screenshot here: [https://puu.sh/DI3cG/1cdc5de5a0.png](https://puu.sh/DI3cG/1cdc5de5a0.png) * and here is it in comparison to my live site (the left is my live site): [https://puu.sh/DI4Cg/2a3df96abe.png](https://puu.sh/DI4Cg/2a3df96abe.png) * I believe my problem may be similar to [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-columns-width-not-working-in-elementor-v2-5-13/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-columns-width-not-working-in-elementor-v2-5-13/). However, I saw no answer and the thread got derailed and went down a different direction. * Cheers Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [Donna Fontenot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavalierlife/) * (@cavalierlife) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/#post-11654146) * Actually that thread holds the same answer I’ll start with in this one: * 1. Clear all cache (server cache, cache plugins, and your browser or phone cache). 2. Go to _Elementor > Settings_ and then under the _General Tab > Regenerate CSS_, click **Regenerate Files** * Also look at this doc: [https://docs.elementor.com/article/235-update-issues](https://docs.elementor.com/article/235-update-issues) —— Since starting from scratch makes things work expected, I’d suggest using that from-scratch, working version of your section, saving it as a template and replacing your current section with it, if the above instructions don’t help. Sometimes it is easier than hunting down the one setting somewhere that is messing it up. * Thread Starter [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/) * (@latitudenick) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/#post-11654227) * Hi [@cavalierlife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavalierlife/) * Thank you for the quick response and for providing me a list of solutions. That being said, I have actually already tried a number of options before creating this thread. I’ve had no success with everything from regenerating CSS to clearing cache, deactivating plugins, etc, etc. * While I can get the intended outcome when I start from absolute zero, it doesn’t seem productive. Certainly, there must be a way to address this issue that doesn’t result in me rebuilding all of these individual pages? * Do you have any additional suggestions, by chance? * (Also, regenerate CSS is located in Dashboard > Elementor > Tools) * Thanks, * Nick * **Edit** When I copy the troubled section out of that page and drop it on an entirely fresh page, the columns & breakpoints work as intended. Have I accidentally tweaked a setting on the problem pages? - This reply was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/). * [Donna Fontenot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavalierlife/) * (@cavalierlife) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/#post-11654315) * It’s pretty hard to diagnose without digging into the actual backend, so I don’t have any additional ideas. (Oops, yep, Elementor > Tools, not Elementor > Settings, sorry). * I didn’t realize this was on a lot of pages. I thought it was one instance. But it sounds like it’s a page setting which might make it easier to fix sitewide if you find it. * I wonder if the various pages with the issue have a different structure or setting than new pages. Same page template? * Thread Starter [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/) * (@latitudenick) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/#post-11654566) * Hi [@cavalierlife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavalierlife/) * I think I’ve addressed the problem, however, I am not certain I understand it and at this point, I’m afraid to question it – haha. * I ended up deleting section by section to see if I could assess what was causing the break. I ended up deleting a hero image background for the page title area and rebuilding it manually from scratch, and voila! * Fixed. Every setting, style and section is the same, page to page, except now it’s seemingly fixed. * Weird… Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Responsive Column Width Issues’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/elementor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3444228) * [Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/reviews/) ## Tags * [breakpoint](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/breakpoint/) * [column](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/column/) * [width](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/width/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [latitudenick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/latitudenick/) * Last activity: [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-column-width-issues/#post-11654566) * Status: resolved
