Responsive Layout Difficulties

By Alex, 9 years ago. Last reply by Magus, 9 years ago.

Hi,

I am having some issues with the responsive layout on my website. I had this option turned off, and I think it worked for a bit. Now however, my website is acting as though it is responsive, even with the option unchecked. Could someone please give me a hand with this?

Many thanks
Alex

    Hi Addo,

    Yes, as I mentioned the responsive layout option is unchecked.

    The problem occurs when the browser window is resized. I believe I have to fix the size of the window, so when it is resized, scrollbars appear. How do I go about doing this?

    Many thanks

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for reaching out. We have a feature request logged in this regard. What happens now is when you de-select the Responsive Layout option, Vantage will change the viewport tag in your theme’s head. This only applies to mobile devices and let them know to fix the viewport. If you check on a tablet or phone you’ll see the layout is fixed. Clients don’t usually re-size the browser which is the thinking behind doing it this way, it’s usually device dependent.

    We do have a feature request logged to make sure the layout stays fixed on desktop too. We’ll get to this ASAP.

    Hope this helps explain things a little.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for you response. Glad to hear a solution is in the works (is there a very rough ETA?). Is it possible to do something using CSS (something like min-size). Is this problem caused by the column % in page builder?

    I would very much appreciate a solution, even if it is a bit of a temporary fudge. What do you advise, looking at the site?

    Many thanks

    Hi Alex

    yes, you could do this with a bit of custom CSS

    Please add the following to Appearance->Custom CSS:

    /*media all*/
.layout-full #page-wrapper {
    min-width: 1080px !important
}

    As soon as the browser window is resizes below the width of your centre panel you should get a scroll bar.

    Let us know how you get on
