Non-Responsive Theme

  • I want to create a site with 2 very distinct themes. One is the Desktop theme, which would be Astra. What I want is the layout to be a fixed width (for example: 1200px) and if the viewport is less than that, instead of adjusting, the layout stays exactly the same, but with a scrollbar for the width. I cannot figure out how to do this with any wordpress themes I’m testing. Even setting min-width: 100% and overflow-x seems to have no effect.

    I would then have a second theme that is specifically for mobile users that would display very differently.

    Is this possible short of rolling my own that doesn’t use bootstrap or similar?

  • Hi @chackem,

    What you were trying to do is actually contrary to the concept of a responsive theme. I believe all of the WordPress themes that are still developed actively by its authors are now responsive. Though some of them might have a feature to disable it.

    On Astra, you can do that by copying the header.php file to your child theme and delete

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    on line 23.

    I hope it will help.

    Kind regards,
    Herman ??
