    Hello @mrmckee

    I couldn’t help but notice that you have “google translate wordpress plugin” installed. Maybe that’s what’s causing the “translate to English” bar at the top of the screen?

    Edit:
    Also, please note that your whole website is being loaded in a frame (might be the same plugin that’s causing that)

    How are you adding this Google Translate service to your site? If you remove it does the theme respond as it should on mobile devices again?

    Literally only started today. It’s to do with the redirect. If I navigate to hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/ I get the mobile view and no translate bar at the top.

    Looks like I’m going to have to learn how to move it. I hoped it would be simple just moving folder but it doesn’t seem so.

    when you go to hillmortonprimaryschool.com the website loads in a frame (url stays the same no matter what you do on the website or what pages you visit – because you’re navigating inside the frame)

    When you go to hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/ directly, you’re loading the actual page and not a frame.

    I would check on what’s causing the framing first.

    Thanks, definitely the redirect I know. I just need to figure out how to move the whole thing from hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress to hillmortonprimaryschool.com/

    This is a general starting point for moving wordpress to another folder Moving WordPress to Root

    I have never encountered a redirect that causes framing. How did you add the redirect? Through a plugin?

    Just set my index.htm to this:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Hillmorton Primary School</title>
    <frameset cols = “100%”>
    <frame src =”http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress&#8221; />
    </frameset>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    @mrmckee

    In a nutshell this asks your visitors browsers to open a border-less window within your website that is as big as the device screen is. And then load http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress in it.

    You end up with http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com being still open (although it’s “empty”) and a window – with http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress loaded in it – taking 100% of the screen size in front of it.

    Frames are not 100% mobile friendly and the are know to break scripts sometimes.

    The issue of your original post is not caused by the redirect, it is caused by what I mentioned above.

    I am inclined to believe that if you revert the changes and set up the redirect properly, you won’t need to move you wordpress (unless you want to do it anyways)
