Home Page Difficulties on IPhone
I was away this weekend in the California heat. It was 96 degrees in the little town of Paradise where we were camping. That has nothing to do with this post.
I was using my IPhone 7 to do some WA and website stuff. I do that a lot. Its inconvenient, but it works. After enlarging the image, its usually just a matter of manipulating to image to read all parts. If I am going to be making a WA on my Phone, I usually write the post ahead of time, cancel it and call up the draft when I want to post.
This weekend I found that I could not access the left side of the "New Blog Post" window to open my drafts. I was also unable to access "Go ahead and add some tags." No matter how I manipulated the screen or the image, I just couldn't work with that page.
I was wondering if anyone experienced this and what they did to resolve the problem. I had not problem with any other part of WA or my website. Usually, for me, saving posts as drafts works well, but not this weekend. I hope to get this figured out so that, when I am away from a computer using my phone, I can keep on fishin'!

I carry my Chromebook around as well as my smartphone. The latter is best for reading and keeping up to date with WA activities. No posting is normally done from that device because it is so easy to create typos.
The Chromebook must be in an area with free Wi-Fi connection, which thankfully these days is widespread in towns and cities. Go anywhere near hills though and Wi-Fi becomes scarce and mobile phone signals become weak.
So, if you have a problem with your display on your smartphone because perhaps the WA website is not fully mobile responsive (yet), then carry something a bit bigger around, like a Chromebook or a not too big tablet as well.
Sometimes I have to zoom out to see the entire box. I then center the area I want to access and zoom back in.
zoom out = putting two fingers on the screen and moving them towards each other.
zoom in = putting two fingers on the screen and moving them away from each other.
Edit:
Actually, I think you should try to hold your phone isideways with the screen zoomed out and then click on the create a new blog post button.
I'd try these steps to make sure that the phone has no problem
(1) sufficient power,; (2) not too much content saved in the phone, like photos, text messages, etc. because too much content saved in the phone could occupy too much space, thus affect the operation of the phone; (3) Reboot the phone. Or just turn it off for a minute also and turn it back on. After all these troubleshooting, see if it works as normal. If all these steps have been done and the problem remains, contact the site tech support for the issue. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I too had this issue on my phone. Simce my post was just text I was able to write it blind on that side but it was annoying.
Just popped into say good luck and hope you receive the answers your looking for. Sorry about the false call, lol! I have an iPad that works most of the time, but I have a few drawbacks that I have to resolve as well. For instance I don't know how to transfer a photo from my iCloud library over to someone's post within Wealthy Affiliate. So I definitely would not be of any help.
Again, good luck and keep on fishin,
Becky :)
I have never tried WA on my phone yet, but it looks like you have received some great answers.
