Using Sense theme on Shopify as well as Gempages.

The issue is that the site is trying to show the desktop images instead of the selected mobile image. the result is a very zoomed in image background on mobile. See below how it shows live and how it should look in Gempages.

Another detail is if I try to change the mobile image with something else, it donesn’t show when published. I can hide the section, but not change the image. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @DaBoredBook

Would you mind to share your store URL? Thanks!

Sure thing, it is Daboredbook.com. I’ve done a temporary fix by duplicating the section and adding the formatted mobile image as the desktop image, then making it only visible on Mobile.

I have facing the same issue and my website url is https://thevapez.co.uk/. and the good thing is that the problem has been resolved. A happy customer.

Hi @DaBoredBook ,

This issue has been resolved by the GemPages team. Currently, you only need to publish the page again for it to function normally.

Best regards,
GemPages Support Team
