 * Hi again,
 * What would be the best way of disabling the mobile version of the site (i.e. 
   the mobile browser version)? My site resizes nicely on a browser but everything
   is broken when on a mobile browser?
 * Thanks!

 * Instead of disabling the responsive design perhaps we can help fix it? Usually
   it’s something simple and if we could see the actual issue we can help debug 
   it.
 * To answer you though disabling would require deleting (not advised as updating
   would break this) or changing all the Css [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)
   tags you don’t want running to the default values, do you have a child theme 
   at the ready?

 * Hey, sounds like you have the jetpack plugin installed. In the jetpack settings
   you have to turn off the mobile theme.
    Hope that helps!

 * Hey,
 * So it turns out that something else was causing the issue. However I still want
   to be able to edit so that the mobile slideshow is not displayed on tablets but
   only on phones? Is this possible?
 * Its displaying because a mobile browser is being detected right?
 * Would you be able in the right direct for changing this?
 * Thanks

 * It’s not very possible in the free version. You would need to create the functionality
   to specify between tablet mobile browsers and phone mobile browsers.

 * lib/custom.php
 * But you will want to make a child theme and copy the front-page.php into it. 
   Then change the detect_mobile() function to a new function that you define in
   a child theme.
 * This would do what you want: [http://mobiledetect.net/](http://mobiledetect.net/)
   
   It’s what I use in premium.
