Mobile Usability Issues Detected
"New Coverage issue detected for site ______________ Fix coverage issues."
This is a notice from Google and I don't know why it's only these days that I am receiving this.
Anyways, I clicked on the Fix coverage issues and it led me to the Google Search Console suggesting to validate the issue. After clicking the 'validate' a report came with the following details:
- Text too small to read
- Clickable elements too close together
- Content wider than screen
- Viewport not set
The good thing here is that Google identifies and reports the issues and it helps us to go back and fix them.
However, there's one thing I don't know what to do, the 'viewport not set'. I think I need your wisdom.
Have a good journey today.

Add this code to your website:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
This is what I did to resolve the same issue on my sites because I was having problems with the AMP plugin and had to deactivate it.
After you add it, go to each error and click on start validation.
Thank you, Janelle, for responding.
Will I copy the code you've written or I will find my own and from somewhere?
I got the code from the following site and put it in just as it was:
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_viewport.asp
So you can put that piece of code in just as its written!
Thank you very much you did a great thing for me, Janelle. I will use that.
Will that solve the issue reported by Google Search Console?
Hi Accd, very interesting and unique post you have written. I'm afraid I haven't advanced far enough yet to tell you what "viewpoint not set" is. I will say this though, when I searched and found the theme I wanted to use I made doubly sure it was responsive, meaning, it works well on mobile devices.
I'm not saying change your theme, but, it is something to take a look at.
Let's see how other members respond.

Thanks, Cal, I hope it's not a theme issue but I'm not sure. I am on the way of tracing where it comes from. I have a suspicion that it's a Google AdSense issue but I have to look into it.
