Hello,
I am working with Theme-X ( Stack integrity). I would like to disable responsiveness of the Theme in case of my domain
http://lebenskraft.de1.biz.
I checke d the forum and found some information. But I am not really sure how to do it.
Can you pls. advise me.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi There,
Unfortunately this is not possible as our whole theme is written in a responsive way. I also would not recommend deactivating it as slowly google is ranking non responsive sites lower than one optimized for mobile devices. So any future proof site should be responsive.
Hi Thai,
I understand. Nevertheless it should be possible. If you google “Disable responsiveness from theme X” you find results. My customer wishes to have no responsiveness. Can you pls. check again.
Thank you.

@GeorgDick I’m not an expert on this theme but: there are MANY parts that go into making it responsive. “Disabling responsiveness” is not really practical–you should use a different theme instead.
You need to communicate with your customer about precisely what they object to, and why.
-Do they dislike the menu? The responsive “hambuger” menu can be disabled.
-Do they dislike the rearrangement of content on smaller screen sizes? Use full-width rows with inline-block elements and/or floated elements and explicit percentage sizes (e.g. for 3 items side by side: width: 33%; float: left; (At this point, you may not be saving yourself time and effort by using this theme).
Or you could copy the entire theme’s CSS files into your child theme (in the analogous folders) and remove all of the media queries (I’d say that would get you unpredictable results, but it would be reversible). Depending on how the theme is constructed (I’m not taking the time to look now), this will either stack everything as if were on a small screen, or leave it intact as you’ve built it in the editor. Or it may have some other, wildly different result.
Bottom line, you should make sure your customer has a very compelling reason to have a non-responsive website, since it’s generally beneficial. And you should understand exactly why they want it. And you should PROBABLY argue against it, unless they happen to know NOBODY is going to want to look at their website on a phone or similar device.
You mentioned the various Google results. I looked at a few. They said “this might not work, but…” Have you tried those? X theme is built to be responsive out of the box. That’s one of the selling points. If you REALLY don’t want that, just use another theme and save your copy of X for another project…

Thanks a lot for you answer?
I have a question. How can I save the copy of X for amother project. E.g. I want to use it for another domain (project. How to technically do this. Because now the copy of Theme X is connected to domain lebenskraft.de1.biz
Thank you for your reply.

In fact, you don’t have to do anything now. Just change to another theme.
To use X on another project in the future, all you have to do is login to your theme.co account and associate your license number with the domain of the new project. I believe these are all the steps involved:
- install X theme (and I recommend installing a child theme as well) – both are available from your dashboard
- login to your account and go to the licenses page
- enter the URL for the new project under the “sites” column
- copy the license number from the Licenses column, and paste on the license validation screen on your WordPress dashboard (you’ll see a banner prompting you to do this after you install x theme, but you can also find it under the “X” menu item)
A similar set of steps applies if you use the Pro theme.
