Removing Mobile Compatibility

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey guys, I want the site to fully show like it is in the browser. So basically no longer mobile compatible. I went to Theme Panel > Responsive Settings thinking that would help but that only makes the site thinner in widget on the desktop. Nothing changes in the mobile view. Am I overlooking something?

You would likely need to remove the CSS from the theme for the responsive @media viewports.

Responsive design is better for SEO, and Google actually dings you for not having mobile friendly site now, and with more and more people doing their web surfing on mobile devices, it isn’t advisable to “turn it all off….”

But you can hack the style.css sheet to remove the @media points for other sizes, and see if that works for you.

Since the theme is sold as designed for responsive design, you could also look for a fixed layout theme, perhaps; but I’d try hacking the style.css sheet first 🙂

Hi,

Thanks Christopher!

@sbo
Note that from theme version 4.3 the fixed/responsive settings has been removed so you can’t set your site to a fixed layout. As Christopher wrote you can edit the style.css file and remove the @media query’s for phone.

Thanks
