we had publish a website for our thesis a few days ago and it was working fine, but when our professors had checked it just now it suddenly broke, where all the assets are stretched or the desktop version shows the mobile version, even though we had changed virtually nothing in the file after passing it, just the desktop version is the part thats broken, the mobile version works fine

Hey ​@zonecole Sorry to hear your site is having some display issues. I’d love to help you get this unblocked! To give the community a better sense of what’s happening, could you share a bit more context?

Here are a few things that are always helpful:

  • The published site URL: This is the actual link your professors clicked

  • Screenshots of the broken behavior: Please share the full browser window rather than a cropped version

  • A view of your right-sidebar settings in Figma Design is super useful for diagnosing layout issues

  • Recent changes: Did you change or republish anything in the last few days? Even minor tweaks can have an impact. You can check your version history for a timeline of changes

Bonus troubleshooting suggestion:

If you’re comfortable opening Chrome DevTools, we can look under the hood:

  1. Hard refresh: Right-click the page → Inspect → then hard refresh with ⌘Shift R (Ctrl+Shift+R)

  2. Network tab: Click the Network tab before you refresh. After the page reloads, look down the Status column for any red numbers (like 404 or 500). Those represent files the page tried to load but couldn't. Please screenshot anything in red

  3. Console tab: Click over to the Console tab and screenshot anything in red. Red text means the page hit an error while loading, which can affect rendering. If the console shows yellow or gray text only, you can skip the screenshot

Send those screenshots over, along with the other details, and we’ll have a much better idea of how to move forward together. 

 

Talk soon! — Jaycee
