Thank you for your help.
When I try and do upgrade database, I get the message : Step modify_tb_lp_order_items: Table i5426161_wp3.wp_learnpress_order_items’ doesn’t exist.

Yey, I worked it out. I just had to remove:
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width” />
from header.php and as my width are all fixed, it all works perfectly!
Thanks for your advice guys.

Hi Andrew,
yes, I did consider it but by that time, I had done so much work on this one that I couldn’t face doing it all over again on a new theme. Also, I looked at the themes page and found there were so many, I didn’t know which to look for! Do you have a suggestion for one that is similar to 2012 but that isn’t made to resize to different devices?
thanks, Kate

Thanks WPyogi, I’ve just seen your comment. I managed to get another website of mine to do it and it was also based on twentytwelve but wasn’t a fixed width one but one which expanded widthwise to fit the screen.

So, I realise that there needs to be another approach. Do you think it is impossible? With theayurvedapractice.com one, I used an @viewport and viewport meta rule.

I have just validated at https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and there are some errors but all from the twentytwelve css file. There are 3 errors from my child css sheet, all very minor to do with hypenation. When you say mistakes, what kind of mistakes do you mean? Thanks for your input.

Oh no, really?! I though it would be just a piece of code about @viewport or something. Thanks for your feedback and also on the links. I have just moved the domain and forgot to change them – classic fail.
Are you sure there isn’t another option?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
I have IE8 and yes, I’ve validated it and although there are quite a few warnings, no glaring errors. I’m new to this though so I may have missed something. I found the developer tools on IE8 and found out that the styles in question were getting their styles from ie.css which I didn’t even know existed! I tried to make my own edited version of that but it didn’t refer to that. I have seen some help on how to make IE look at your own version of ie.css but I don’t understand how to implement it. Could you please help?
