How can I hide specific image banners on mobile or desktop views?

[NataliaWu]

Hi there,

I am currently working on a page of my website ( i use dawn theme). I created two images of a same chart for desktop and mobile because the desktop image is too wide for mobile. Then I added both images as image banner sections on the page. Now I want to hide the desktop image banner from the mobile end, and hide the mobile banner from the desktop end. What should I do?

Hi @NataliaWu , can you share screenshots of what you want to achieve exactly?

[NataliaWu]

Hi @Abdosamer,

Thanks for the reply. It is like the screenshot below. These two charts are designed for desktop and mobile separately, but it is actually the chart with same info. So I want to hide the desktop chart from the mobile end. And hide the mobile chart from desktop end.

@NataliaWu , Can you please share your store url ?

[Abdosamer]

@NataliaWu , one great solution for you would be to wrap the two images inside the html <picture> tag, and use the media attribute to control when you want the images to appear based on screen size, for example:

<picture>
  <source srcset="mdn-logo-wide.png" media="(min-width: 600px)" />
  <img src="mdn-logo-narrow.png" alt="MDN" />
</picture>

 The first image will only appear on a screens larger that 600px , the other will appear on screens lesser than 600px.

@Abdosamer, I am afraid I cannot share the store url with you. Sorry for that. 

Thanks for helping me. For the solution you provide, do i add the code directly in the CSS custom of the section?

[NataliaWu]

@Abdosamer And can you please elaborate more on wrapping two images inside the html <picture> tag? I am beginner level so... Thanks

[Abdosamer]

@NataliaWu , you have two images, each has its own url: 

<picture>
  <source srcset="url here" media="(min-width: 600px)" />
  <img src="url here" alt="MDN" />
</picture>

put the urls inside the picture element , the first one will appear only if the screen is larger than 600px, I hope this was clear.

Add this code Custom CSS of Image banner section that you want to hide on mobile

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .banner {
    display: none;
  }
}

And this to section you want to hide on desktop

@media (min-width: 767px) {
  .banner {
    display: none;
  }
}

Hi, this code is super, super helpful, but for some reason, the image completely disappears on iPad Air! Would you happen to know why this is happening? Thank you so much in advance! 

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

Add this code Custom CSS of Image banner section that you want to hide on mobile

Hi @BellandPedre , if you add slideshows, please use this code

For desktop slide

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .slideshow {
    display: none;
  }
}

For mobile slideshow 

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .slideshow {
    display: none;
  }
}

Hi, I can hide the slideshow using this code but not the bottom slider, what should I do.

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

Please update the code 

Desktop: 

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  slideshow-component {
    display: none;
  }
}

Mobile

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  slideshow-component {
    display: none;
  }
}

Hi Dan,

Your solution is nice and easy although I have a question : when I run a speedtest through Lighthouse, it seems that the image that is not displayed (basically the desktop version when on mobile and vice versa) is still loading behind => is there a way to enable lazy loading ?

Thanks for your help !

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

It could be solved for mobile or desktop only, could not be solved both devices by open your image banner or slideshow liquid file, find this line of code. 

loading="lazy"

Change to this 

{% if forloop.first == false %}
loading="lazy"
{%- endif -%}

Thank you for this. It works for hiding banner on mobile but not on desktop for me.

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

Please try to update the code

- Add this code to Custom CSS of mobile section.

@media (min-width: 750px) {
.banner { display: none; }
}

- Add this code to Custom CSS of desktop.

@media (max-width: 749px) {
.banner { display: none; }
}

[CDBLtd]

Thanks, but still not working right for me. Basically, I just want to hide for desktop.

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

So just add this code to Custom CSS of that section. Also, could you share your page so I can check? 

@media (min-width: 750px) {
.banner { display: none; }
}

[CDBLtd]

I added your code, but still the same issue on desktop.  You can see on this page (green section): https://fd94b3-bd.myshopify.com/collections/all-available/Available

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

Could you take screenshot where did you add the code? 

[CDBLtd]

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

You can try to update code to this.

@media (min-width: 750px) {
#shopify-section-template--17425720705190__image_banner_UgDTPh { 
    display: none !important; 
}
}

[CDBLtd]

I get error message "Online store session editor cannot be published" with the new code.

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

So please add this code the theme.liquid file after <head> in Online Store > Themes > Edit code 

<style>
@media (min-width: 750px) {
#shopify-section-template--17425720705190__image_banner_UgDTPh { 
    display: none !important; 
}
}
</style>

[CDBLtd]

That hid the collection page banner, not the section I needed hidden on desktop:  https://fd94b3-bd.myshopify.com/collections/all-available/Available

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

What section do you want to hide on the desktop?

[CDBLtd]

I want to hide the green section "Current Collection" for desktop only.

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

Please update code 

<style>
@media (min-width: 750px) {
#shopify-section-template--17425720705190__rich_text_ekjCDD { 
    display: none !important; 
}
}
</style>

[CDBLtd]

That's it! THANK YOU so much! 🙏

[Dan-From-Ryviu]

You are very welcome!
