Kamil,

Thank you for this solution. I was having the same links issue only on small devices (phones running iOS and Android), but not with iPads or web browsers. It was happening on a new instance of Newspaper X on as we are currently putting together a new travel-related blog. Tried adding the z-index fix, and updating to the latest Newspaper X version. Neither of those worked.

The solution proposed by Amit and Vinod in this closed post (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/solution-for-hyperlink-not-working-in-small-devices-newspaper-x-theme/) did not work for me. It looked promising.

They had suggested adding this to Appearance>> Customize >> Additional CSS:

article { z-index:1; }

And then further down the thread this:

.post, article.page { z-index:1; }

But, adding your suggested CSS addition of this did:

@media (max-width: 768px){
#secondary {
    clear: both;
}
}

Because there were notes about adding that fix to a future version, and I did update, I’m not sure what the key difference in the solutions above are that would be the determining factor, but wanted to thank you and put this here for anyone with issue in future.

Not going to fix it if it isn’t broken, but here is what I did, and test page I had posted is also linked below. If anyone has an issue, please let me know. I’ve tried two versions of Android Firefox and Chrome, as well as iPhone 5 and 7 with Safari and Chrome. I also replicated the initial issue on the Mobiletest.me site, as well as confirming the fix there.

Thanks, again, Kamil. Saved me from ripping my remaining hair out. ??

Regards,

John
