Wix Editor: Hidden Elements in Your Mobile Editor

4 min read
Wix automatically creates a mobile-friendly version of your site using the content from your desktop site. Elements may be hidden from your mobile site if they are placed outside the gridlines, or if there isn't sufficient space.
Additionally, you can hide any desktop elements that you don't want to display on mobile and unhide elements whenever needed. 
Important:
  • This article refers to desktop elements in the mobile editor, not mobile-only elements.
  • Any changes made to your mobile site do not affect your desktop site.
In this article, learn more about:

Viewing hidden elements

Click the Hidden on Mobile  on the left side of the mobile editor to view your hidden elements. In this panel you can see elements that were automatically hidden, as well as elements that you choose to hide from your mobile site.

Hover over a hidden element to see how and where it would appear on the mobile site. This is useful when considering whether to show it or not on mobile. 
Tip:
Pinned elements from desktop may be hidden on your mobile site. You can find and unhide them from the Hidden on Mobile panel, but they are not pinned on your mobile site

Unhiding an element

You can always re-add hidden elements to your mobile site. 

To show a hidden element:

  1. Click Hidden on Mobile  on the left side of the mobile editor.
  2. Click the Show Element icon  on the relevant element.
