Independent of any changes I make to the layout, my site sometimes goes totally black when navigating on mobile—but only after using the mobile menu. Scrolling will sometimes reactivate the page and it will reappear.

I am, thanks for your reply. It only happens on mobile. ---

Not sure if it is good news, but I don’t seem to have any issues with it when browsing on my device only when I use the developer tools on Chrome desktop — I’m guessing it’s something when using the developer tools on Chrome to view mobile? …also, awesome site! Try adding this to your project head to hide the white bar by setting it to your white colour #f2f2f2 or the yellow colour. ` ` ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/readymag/original/1X/6d35602349de39cd44ff88087505cb540dce2eae.jpeg)` ---

Hello, have you perhaps been able to solve this problem? I’m facing the same issue now, only when using mobile version menu with “go to page” links (I have a long one-page). I would really love to hear your take on this! ---

I have not yet solved this problem, and can’t figure it out. Only happens in Chrome on mobile. ---

this is disheartening to see this issue from over 3 years ago without a published solution (?)… I”m having a similar/related issue where my site goes completely black once it’s gets smaller than 768 in width. the mobile version of the site (when loading from developer view on desktop or directly from phones) is completely black/blank. Has anyone had any luck fixing this issue or any insight into what might be causing it? I’ve tried removing and replacing the widgets, there are not embedded codes, no videos… just some text and some animation.
