Child Theme 2011 issues with responsive sizing on mobile devices

    I switched over my locally designed child theme site to the server today only to find that it is being resized poorly on mobile devices.

    I was anticipating this may happen, but don’t know what to do short of having plugins take over the template.

    Here is the site: https://www.cozumelsurfing.com

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Add responsive CSS to the Child Theme.

    possibly caused by the fixed width style of the header image;

    #site-title img { ... }

    avoid using fixed widths in a responsive theme.

    also by the ‘promotion slider’ – double check in the plugin’s forum https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/promotion-slider if the slider is suitable for responsive themes.

    Ok. Thanks Alchymyth.

    I have checked in with the promotion-slider developer to see if it is compatible with responsive themes.

    So by removing the header image, the sizing issue would be resolved?

    Would adding responsive CSS to the child theme style sheet resolve the issue? Care to elaborate more?

    For tips, take a look at other themes that are responsive, such as 2013. You can also create a child theme for that, but will start with a theme that all ready has ‘responsiveness’ baked in.

    It can be a task, but is doable.

    Note: you can also overwrite a plugin’s CSS in your Child Theme.

    Right. So I am working with a child theme of 2011, which is responsive. And the promotion slider plugin is responsive as well…

    So, I either need to remove my header image, or figure out if there is a way to make it responsive, perhaps by adding some CSS to it, as you mentioned.

    It seems like those are my two options. I’d be ok with doing away with the header image, so long as I could at least get the logo up there.

    Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
