Hi,

Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this, Newsmag is designed to work on desktop, tablet, and phone.
Yes it’s possible, but if you need it you can get someone to help you with this and alter style.css and some javascript as you like, it’s not an easy task and you would need custom work for that which we cannot provide at this time as we work on updates/development and support.

Thanks!

Also, not a good idea as the site would not then pass Google’s new mobile ready label program for phone users.

REF:

Wondering if your site will qualify for Google’s new mobile-friendly labels or be ready for a potential mobile-friendly ranking boost? Google has a new tool to help.

The new tool is at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly and it basically gives you a pass or fail grade. Either it tells you that you are mobile friendly or you are not mobile friendly.

Or is is maby easier to deactivated the whole responsive feature?

I come from a small counrty where people don’t google the website.

It’s a “responsive” theme, so you can’t really disable the responsive features – that is how it’s designed. It’s not an on/off proposition.

You could try to edit the @media queries in the style.css file, but you could have very mixed results with that. (e.g., remove all the sizes for phone and see what happens?)

You can also disable ads on the phones from the ad manager in the theme, so you might try that first.

I know, but I have seen some themes where you can disable the responsive styles.

I have run a magazine as my work, and I need the adds, so I needs the adds so visible as possible, thats way I don’t want the mobile version 🙂

Right, some themes have both a responsive and non-responsive layout; this theme is built as a responsive theme as with the “new Google” your site may be hidden in SERPS if not responsive, so nobody is really building “fixed layout” themes anymore, except as special cases like internal sites/forums, which would only be used on desktop — which will be increasingly rare.

So, you can try to edit out the @media queries in the style.css file; but that’s about it.

Hi,


@OnlineThemes
As Chris stated the @media queries are used to style the content for mobile screen widths. You can edit the thumb’s css file and search for @media (max-width: 767px) and remove them, leaving just the style for tablet which is under @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px): http://screencast.com/t/5pibBDJP33d
I suggest you backup your current theme installation before you alter it so that you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi,

We didn’t tested this and that’s why we can’t provide you a full guide to disable theme on mobile. We plans in future to create/add an option for this.
The javascript files are located here and I was referring to some functions that’s apply on mobile: http://screencast.com/t/Xc9sHUQrDb

Thanks!

Hi,

Thant would be the normal behavior without any css to style the page on mobile screens. The theme doesn’t have an option to turn its responsiveness off and this is not an easy task so I suggest you also get someone to helps you with this and also make a backup of your current theme installation.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for understanding!
