Comment on Stallion Responsive WordPress SEO Theme by Erik.
Hi Dave, I have a question about the responsive functionality of the theme. I have installed Stallion Responsive and have gone through the new options and looking forward to launching it to replace Stallion 7 on my sites this week.
From what I can tell, Stallion’s responsive functionality kicks in once you drop to around 800px resolution(?) Is it possible to get the theme to engage responsive version (meaning dropped sidebars and responsive menu) at a lower screen width point than 800px?
The reason is that according to my numbers I get very similar performance for tablets (which of course tend to be of larger screen resolution than smartphones) as I do for desktops.
However mobile phones (generally with screens in the 300-500px width range) perform much more poorly in pretty much every metric.
I run the 2 sidebar (200px left and right) layout, and I also don’t want to lose that upper left sidebar area for tablets for displaying ads.
I looked at a lot of the code, but I have to admit since it’s a new concept I’m not quite sure what I’m looking for. Maybe this isn’t as easy a change as I think. Or maybe it is? If you have any ideas or thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
If it is possible to adjust responsiveness to a lower initial resolution, I may still end up using it as you’ve created it, but would appreciate first testing it limited to what seems to be my area of greatest need, that is screen sizes around the 480px and below width.
Thanks,
Erik
