I had a friend of mine skin a site on the cheap and when I checked it out on my phone, it was about 80% there and the rest was screwy. Left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. I don't have the cash atm to get a coder on it to tweak it - does anyone know a way to just kill the responsive element to a WP theme? I'd rather someone see the full size site, rather than one they didn't even know was screwy and they just leave.
I don't really understand the question
>>know a way to just kill the responsive element to a WP theme?
You mean just make it not respond at all?
If it's NOT a mobile-first theme (and it sounds like it isn't), just get rid of anything in the CSS that's in a media query designed for a small screen.
If it IS a mobile-first theme that's just whacked, that gets trickier.
comment out the media queries (@media) in the CSS and the responsiveness will be gone.
@media. So you can simply delete them or remove them with a comment like this:
/*
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.wrap {
padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 5%;
}
}
*/
Yes, but see my comment. This will only work if it is NOT a mobile-first responsive theme.
If it is mobile-first, the mobile end of things will be the default and the media queries will look like
Quote
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
If that's the case (which based on what you describe is unlikely), then you need to be more judicious.
Thanks, guys. I'll play a this.

Yes, for all the talk of Mobilgeddon, the simple truth is that it happened last year and continues to happen, and Google's April 21 change is the least of it. As Pierre Far said at Pubcon last year: "If you don't have a mobile strategy, it's too late." He didn't mean that you can't develop one and build that traffic, he meant that you had already lost a crap ton of traction, regardless of what Google does with its SERPs

A little late to the party so may be too late but as others have said commenting out the media css will do the trick in most cases, but also on the other side tweaking the css in the media element is really simple, you may find if it is major div issues tweaking the css may be faster. If it is a wordpress the I use PC custom css plugin to override the CSS and avoid theme update issues. Like others said a surprising proportion of searches now come from phones and tablets so even if it takes you a couple of hours it is more than worth it.
