Using twenty twenty-one theme… Menu different on mobile

    Hallo Engineers! I am a complete newbie to WP so forgive my ignorance and lack of skill.
    On the desktop version of my site, there are five menu items that are currently available. In the mobile version, when the menu is open, only four of those items are visible. If I add a sixth desktop item, only five show up in the mobile menu… It always seems that the mobile menu has one less. Would very much appreciate some help with this!

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    When I visit your site I see there are 6 menus in the header in desktop view, but also when I check on mobile I see the same 6 choices.

    I recorded a video so you can see what I see on my end, just visit this link: https://d.pr/v/wiYUs8

    It always seems that the mobile menu has one less. Would very much appreciate some help with this!

    Can you take a screenshot of this and share it with us? To do that you can upload the image to the media library on your site and let us know to look there where we will be able to see it.

    Also, is this an issue on a specific mobile device or devices? or is this an issue if you were to borrow a device from a friend or family member and check your site on that device?

    Thanks for the additional info!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this. I did not know about the narrowing of the view to see what happens on mobile. That’s very cool!
    Yesterday I ended up changing the theme to Exford because it worked the way I wanted.

    I switched back to Twenty Twenty-one briefly this morning to get the following screenshots:

    Mobile showing menu expanded: https://imgur.com/P8YGWSt

    In the mobile menu the “Blog” link is not there. Whichever link I had as the first in my primary menu, it wouldn’t show in the mobile menu.

    At any rate, I’m not fussy about the theme, and have it working now, so I don’t really need this thread open anymore. I really appreciate your thoughts and the time you took to help.

    Hi there, if you do run into this again though, please make sure that you don’t have a separate mobile-only Navigation block: https://wordpress.com/support/full-site-editing/theme-blocks/navigation-block/#block-settings-navigation-block
