Disable mobile theme

Hi there,

Is your site using the mobile theme from Jetpack?

https://jetpack.com/support/mobile-theme/

If it is, please navigate to Jetpack > Settings > Writing.

Under “Theme enhancements” turn off “Enable the Jetpack Mobile theme.”

If that is not what you mean, please post a link to your site.

Thanks ??

Thanks for your response

Mobile themres are disabled under jetpack settings

the site is irphstop.net

thank you!

You’re welcome ??

But the site is still shown in mobile version ??

@irphstop I looked at your site on my iPhone and I do not see any mobile theme active. Colinear is a responsive theme, so it adjusts automatically to different screen sizes to remain readable.

If you explain your end goal we might be able to suggest some workarounds.

So I didn’t explain myself correctly…

I previously used Coraline, and the mobile users saw the site exactly in the same way as in a PC. Now with Colinear I see the site is behaving different, I guess this is what “responsive” means. But I don’t like how it looks like. I think I prefer the website not being responsive. Can I do that?

Thanks for your help

Ah, do you mean that you don’t want the site to be responsive?

I would strongly recommend against doing that – it’s bad for users and it’ll negatively affect your site’s SEO in Google Mobile search.

Google explicitly recommends that all sites be mobile friendly.

The desktop version of a site might be difficult to view and use on a mobile device. The version that’s not mobile-friendly requires the user to pinch or zoom in order to read the content. Users find this a frustrating experience and are likely to abandon the site. Alternatively, the mobile-friendly version is readable and immediately usable – https://developers.google.com/search/mobile-sites/

If you still don’t want the site to be responsive, you’d have to write a considerable amount of CSS to override the media queries from the bottom of style.css – there is no simple option to make a site non-responsive.

You can place custom CSS in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Why did I suddenly start receiving notifications of postings on this thread…I have nothing to do with this, except that I use Colinear on a few sites. Would that be a reason that I would be notified of this conversation?

I will unsubscribe once I learn why I was included in the first place.

Thanks,
Steve
