[Bug] Desktop view and mobile view differ, why?
« on: April 13, 2025, 07:37:21 PM »
Hello,

when I open the Zeta demo search page (https://zeta.mb-themes.com/search) with a desktop computer I see the following buttons/fields under the categories:
All Filters, Location, Area etc...

When I visit the same page with a smartphone, I see the page in the mobile view and see the following buttons/fields:
All Filters, All countries, Area (But instead of Area, I see Distance).

It makes no sense to me why the desktop page is different from the mobile page, why is that?

Please check my screenshots to see the differences.


Kind regards

I do not see word distance on your screenshots, but it pretty much mean same.
Will review labels in theme, you can change strings via translation file.
  To get fast support, we need following details: Detail description, URL to reproduce problem, Screenshots

Sorry I didn't mean the word Distance but Area.


In any case, there is a serious difference between desktop and mobile view.
The mobile view refers to Fields, Country, Region, City -> 0km

The desktop view refers to Fields, Location -> Area

You can show the location field in the child theme (search.php) instead of (All countries, region, city) by removing the if query: if(!zet_is_mobile().

Then I see the location filter button as in the desktop view also in the mobile view, but the button looks a little blurry and there is no drop-down menu with input field.

Oh, I see. It's same - location.
For mobile different layout was used.

Is there also a solution for the conceptual bug?
The filter function on a smartphone is unusable!

Let me give you an example of how this works. First, the country is selected with a dropdown field. Then you select the region. And the problem arises with the city. A region can have over 5000 cities, for example. And then you have to scroll the dropdown field on your smartphone to your city. And if you make a mistake and accidentally select the wrong city, the scrolling of over 5000 cities starts all over again.

You can replace functions in search.php and get different for mobile, but I suppose there is not user-friendly interface for "desktop version".
