Dear Support Team,

I’m writing to request assistance in improving the layout of my website’s homepage categories on mobile devices.

Currently, when viewed on a mobile phone or tablet, the homepage categories appear one at a time, stacked vertically. While this works on desktops, it feels restrictive and visually unappealing on smaller screens.

I believe that displaying the categories in two columns on mobile would significantly enhance the user experience. This would allow users to browse through them more easily and efficiently, ultimately improving engagement and navigation on the go.

I’d be grateful if you could guide me on how to achieve this two-column layout. Is there a built-in option within the website platform or theme settings to control the mobile layout of elements?

Dear @Sweet D,

We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully duplicated the Product Categories Element to enhance the user interface across different devices. The desktop version now utilizes a 4-column layout, while the mobile version is configured to display 2 columns for optimal viewing.

Furthermore, we have implemented the following CSS code to ensure proper formatting:
```
.categories-grid.row .category-grid.col-xs-12.col-sm-6.columns-2 {
    flex-basis: 50%;
}
```
We believe the adjustments have improved the overall presentation. Could you kindly review the changes at your earliest convenience and confirm that everything meets your satisfaction?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,
The 8Theme Team

Yes, that looks much better thank you. The only thing is that the top right category ‘Arrangements’ – The category name that appears in front of the category picture, the word is too long and strangely writes over itself.

Hi @Sweet D,

We’ve added the following custom CSS to break the texts and applied the background color so they’re more readable on mobile:

That’s much better thank you.

There are still some words that have a line break in the middle of the word. Is it possible to only have line breaks in between words?

Hi @Sweet D,

We’ve changed the CSS from:
```
word-break: break-all; //all characters will be break to new line.
```
To
```
word-break: break-word; //words will be break to new line only.
```
Can you please check again?

Thank you!
