Comment on Stallion Responsive WordPress SEO Theme by Erik.
Thanks Dave, I just did what you suggested above–and it does look like it is keeping the left sidebar intact, however the mobile menu seems to still kick in at the same roughly 800px width (I am slowly shrinking my browser to simulate different widths as I think you suggested on another thread).
What seems to be a larger issue is that the sidebars behave strangely. It does retain the left sidebar all the way to smaller sizes–it never drops, even when I am in what I believe must be the 300-400px range which is below the 480px level I set for mobile responsiveness to kick in (viewed at maximum left-right screen shrinkage in Firefox).
In fact, it doesn’t drop the right sidebar either–rather they both adjust to different widths as you slowly shrink through the lower sizes. As it might sound, this kind of makes a mess on the screen.
It seems to me like the sidebars are 1)both remaining at their original positions all through the lower screen widths, but 2)expanding out to the widths they would take on, were they dropped to the bottom of the display at a given screen width. As a result the elements sort of overlap onto one another.
I edited mobile.css to display responsive at sizes beginning at 480px and below, and it looks like the sidebars are first adjusting to these sizes right around that mark, maybe slightly below it. Otherwise they are both staying in place and the screen is keeping its full-screen dimensions down to about that desired 480px level.
Is there maybe a tweak that needs implementing somewhere to 1)keep the normal menu down to the desired width, and 2)get the sidebars to simply drop below the desired width (as they otherwise would)?
I’m hoping and assuming I didn’t mess anything up on my end; I tested all this on a “clean” CSS file (on a color scheme that I hadn’t touched CSS on). I also tried it using both the 2011 header and the alternative header, thinking that might be the problem, but it seems to behave the same with both.
Thanks if you have any ideas for a fix, hoping it’s just another simple tweak!
Erik
