  I’m unable to view the Featured Blog slider title on mobile devices on the home page (Iphone 7 Plus). However on the Mac it works fine. How can I make it so the mobile version displays the Featured Blog title on the home page?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The mobile ready theme is a default theme and a completely different theme that you do not need to enable, if your theme is listed as a responsive layout theme here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout/

  The mobile default theme is provided for those who run older themes that aren’t the gold standard which is responsive layout.

  A responsive layout theme adapts to different screen sizes so that your website will work (and be optimized for) iPhones, iPads, Android and other mobile devices. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.

  When we use a responsive theme we disable the mobile theme. Go to >Dashboard > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme

  * Replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of your blog in that URL.

  @mindofyano you can disable the mobile theme as timethief suggested:

  Your built-in mobile theme includes the features you’re looking for.

  The title doesn’t show over the featured image on my phone either. But I think it’s because it would cover too much of the image: this was an intentional design choice.

  If you want to display it you can use CSS (with a plan that supports it) to un-hide it.

  Something like this, but you would post for help in the CSS forums.

  @media screen and (max-width :480px) {
    #featured-content.flexslider .slides .featured-hentry-wrap {
       display: block;
       }
  }
