Hello X Team!
I know that parallax is disabled on mobile devices for performance reasons, but I’d like to enable it to see how it works on them please. There are some websites that work well, like 12hrs.net (square[ ] based theme) that work fluid and I’d like to see if I can since my landing page is parallax based.

I’ve tried some solutions in the forum (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/parallax-on-mobile-devices-not-working/page/2/) which did not work.

If you can get it enabled on my site I’d be grateful.

Cheers!

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for writing in.

The javascript that responsible to parallax effect is disabled on mobile. And to enable it, you’ll have to edit the core files which we don’t recommend. It’s not a simple process and may overwrite by updates. We already tried that but not successful, it needs to recompile the core files to make it work. And that something we don’t cover as support.

Thanks!

Hi team,
There are other themes and websites that seem to work fluid with parallax on mobile. I know now for X theme that it isn’t enabled because of what you stated, but in the future is this a feature that is being worked on? Or should we not expect mobile parallax in the future? Cheers!

Hello There,

We certainly appreciate the feedback! This is something we can add to our list of feature requests. This way it can be taken into consideration for future development. All of these items are discussed with our team internally and prioritized based on the amount of interest a particular feature might receive.

Thanks!

I have a client who is thinking of switching to squarespace because he would like Parallax on his website when viewing on mobile devices. The example site he showed me is

https://www.squarespace.com/websites/templates/marquee

some live sites that use this are

They seem a little choppy on Microsoft edge, bute fine on chrome and they do work nicely on mobile – the parallax effect is really neat on the touch screen. Any chance parallax can be re-enabled in a non buggy way on mobile? Even if it’s just the simple version square space uses…

I went searching for some parallax wordpress themes to satify my customer and found a few but no great solutions jump out at me…

PARALLAX

is a little buggy…

http://preview.themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/13373220

says it has parallax but not really

I would love it if you could get x theme to have this option.

Thanks for your time.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating this thread! This is already in our enhancements list. Our developers already have looked into this. We are not sure when they can do and have this in our future release. Stay tune!

For the meantime, you can use this custom css to make the background images in smaller screen as fixed which would have some sort of fixed image over scrolling content effect. You may edit your page in Cornerstone and insert the following custom css in the settings tab, Settings > Custom CSS

@media(max-width: 767px){
  #cs-content .x-section.bg-image.parallax, 
  #cs-content .x-section.bg-pattern.parallax {
    background-attachment: fixed !important;
  }
}

Hope this helps.
