I have several sections of my site where the button text overflows the element it's in on mobile. I've tried adjusting the padding and the margins, but all that does is make the button look funky. I would like for the button text to wrap to the next line instead of flowing off the page. Is there a CSS hack for this, or a setting I'm missing?
Thanks Judith. I have that setting turned on, however, that's not a true fix for my problem as it's still a guessing game at that point and not a bulletproof fix for all scenarios. The CTA I'm currently trying to have text wrap for is "Send us a Message". If I shrink the responsive text setting to 90% in this case, it solves the issue. But if my CTA were something like "Send us a Message Today", then it would overflow again. So, setting a hard number is not a fix. I would much rather just have the text wrap to the next line so it reads like this:
To make the changes as requested, you will need to add some custom CSS code. To do this, please follow these steps:
From your WordPress dashboard, Navigate to Salient > General Settings > CSS/Script Related. In the custom code area, insert the provided CSS snippet:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px){
.nectar-cta.font_size_desktop_18px, .nectar-cta.font_size_desktop_18px * {
width: 54vw;
}
}
Once the code is added, save and refresh the page to see if the change has been applied. In case it helps, please check this section from the documentation on CSS/Script Related.
If this does not work as expected or If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, don't hesitate to write back, I'm happy to help.
That partially fixed the issue. However, the button text is not vertically centered on the button. Also, it didn't seem to affect buttons where the text is within the main page margins because the button edge still goes outside of the margin making it look odd.
This is still only working in specific instances, vs a universal rule. So with that extra CSS, it works for the "Find Service Opportunities" button, but not for the "Send us a Message" or "Community Partners" buttons further down the page. Is there a way to write the CSS that applies to a broad set of cases?
To assist you better, we'd love to have a closer look at your setup and to do this, we'll need admin login credentials
(dashboard URL, username, password) to your site. This will enable us to conduct a more in-depth investigation of the issue based on your specific configurations. Would you mind sharing this with us?
Tahir, that particular instance might work for your selected screen aspect ratio (iPhone 14 Pro Max). However, there are still multiple places on the site where the button text overflows on smaller screens. The CTA text is different depending on the situation, so I need a universal rule that can cover all scenarios (similar to how my text just naturally wraps to the next line as I'm typing in this text box).
I'm sure there are other instances, but here are a few where I've found the issue (or some version of the issue):
The easiest option is to reduce the font on such screen sizes.
Add this into the Custom CSS box in your Salient Theme Options panel (We write all Custom CSS in the Live Browser to ensure accuracy. If you cannot see any changes, make sure there is no red cross in the Custom CSS Box as any syntax error would cause all CSS under that line of code to not show up on the Frontend):
@media only screen and (max-width: 390px) {
.nectar-cta {
font-size:14px !important;
}
}

Hi Zac,

Message
Is there an easy way to do that?
I found a case where the button text wraps, however, the width of the button background still goes way off the edge of the page.

Hi Zac,
Thanks for writing back.
Please add this css as well:
@media only screen and (max-width: 690px){ .nectar-cta.font_size_desktop_18px, .nectar-cta.font_size_desktop_18px * {line-height: 15px;
top: 5px;
} }
I hope this helps.

Hey Again,
I see you were able to resolve this by reducing the CTA font size. See screenshot:
Thanks.
