WOW! I have no idea how that happened. Somehow i’ve visited the mobile version of my site many many times and never realized the site search box was totally missing! Not even an option for it on the menu (was ok on desktops).
It’s back and fixed! I’m afraid to know how long it was actually missing! Hopefully not MONTHS.
I had the search “widget” in my theme set to be invisible on mobile devices! I must have accidentally clicked that some day.
BTW in case you didn’t notice, the site is responsive. This means it will adapt to tablets, cell phones and desktop users automatically.
On my 24″ desktop display I get 3 columns of products. On a cell phone in portrait mode I get 1. A table might get a few more.
I’ve considered adding 4 columns of DVD covers on desktop but they looked too small.
The site now is using a fully dedicated CPU! This means all the resources are going just to the site and not shared with other web hosting customers. Will it matter? Not sure, but the site is now running super fast. The CPU is an AMD EPYC processor at around 3.2ghz I think. First time I’ve ever used an AMD processor for a web server. While the site was up last night it was sort of funny seeing the CPU only using 1% of it’s power!
Here’s a tip you might not realize about how the site works.
- Load up the cart with some products while logged off.
- When you login to your account it will add all of those to your existing “logged in” cart.
- When you logoff, the logged off cart will be empty (this is a “feature” they say).
- When you log back in, the cart will be just how you left it! It should remember the cart contents.
It sure is nice having a shopping cart that works great!
