Theme not working on mobile devices

  • Hello, I am new to wordpress and making my own site. I am working with the sell theme and have created my site exactly how I want it. Although the sela description says it works great on mobile devices when I look at it it does not look the way I want it. Even if I click desktop format it still isn’t what I have on the computer. I have tried to research but still can not figure it out. Thanks in advance!

  • Hi there!

    Can you share a link to your site so we can check it out and see what you mean?

    Thanks! ??

    Hi Sarah,

    I’m having the same problem. I’m using the Sela Theme as well. Here’s a link to my site: dropyourjawdesigns.com. Your assistance would be totally appreciated! Thank you.

    @netflixfanatic, how did you get the tables in the page content, through a plugin or did you code them by hand? Tables are notorious for not being responsive. If you coded the tables by hand, you should convert the table cells to <div> elements instead, and use media queries to rearrange the <div>s at different screen widths. You might find it a little tricky at first, but <div>s are a lot easier to work with than tables.

    It also looks like your tables have an inline width of 750px, which is another reason why it’s not responsive. The 750px wide tables are keeping the rest of the page from collapsing down properly.

    Hi CrouchingBruin,

    Thank you for your response. I coded the tables by hand. I’m a WordPress “newby” so I’m not familiar with converting table cells to <div> elements or using media queries, but I’ll look further into it. Also, thanks for the tip regarding my table width. Looks like I have some work to do! Thanks again.

    netflixfanatic – if you need further help, would you please start a new thread? Your issues aren’t theme-related, as CrouchingBruin mentioned, but instead caused by your table layout. ??

    You might also like to check out some guides to creating responsive columns, like this one:

    Good luck!

    Thank you Kathryn, I’ll do that. Thanks for the guide!
