How to test the site on a local tablet before uploading?

[Lilly]

I just wonder if testing it on a local (from the same network) tablet is possible before uploading it…

System Details

  8.3.1
• Operating System (OS) and OS version:
  MacOs Ventura 13.6

Hi @Lilly - welcome to the Local community!

Have you considered using Live Links? I think this will do what you’re looking for!

Hi @Lilly -

Sounds good! Are you using a page builder like Elementor or Divi? If so, you might be running into a Live Links related issue.

Sometimes there are issues with images and the way things display generally over Live Links with Elementor and other similar builders.

There are some suggestions in this thread I would recommend trying:

Elementor Background Images not showing over Live Links

Hey @gesa – I moved your reply to its own topic since the previous topic was specific to Oxygen builder. The general solution is the same as this other topic related to Divi: In the case of Elementor, you want to adjust Elementor to not write the CSS background-image rules to a file. For Elementor, you’ll need to change the “CSS Print Method” (see the Elementor docs)

So it might not actually be a problem with your CSS on a Tablet, but something like that, if you’re using a pagebuilder. Thanks!

I’ll close this thread for now as we resolved your original issue but feel free to create a new one if need be.
