Looks like you need to add this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1000; user-scalable=0;" />

Do you have a Child Theme? If not, first set one up: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Thanks for the response. The header.php file in Fruitful theme had <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width” />, I replaced it with that other code you suggested, but it didn’t work. Pinch Zooming is still disabled. I’m pretty new to code. I had a similar problem with a different theme previously, and the solution was to just delete the viewport line from all header files. But in this theme, that doesn’t work either…Could this be a CSS problem?

Pinch Zooming is still disabled.
Wait, that’s something different. Can you clarify what you’re trying to solve here?
The Fruitful theme has 2 modes: Responsive, and Static page with fixed width. I didn’t like the Responsive design, so I went with the Static setting. I want the page to look like how it looks on a desktop. I want the page to load fully zoomed out at first, and then have the ability to pinch zoom in. Currently the page does load fully zoomed out, but it’s not allowing pinch zoom. The static mode say it’s fixed width, so would that only be changeable in the CSS file?
I found a solution. I installed the plugin “Definitely Allow Mobile Zooming” and tweaked it a little. If anyone else has a similar problem, check out the link below for details:

I was just about to change my theme from parabola to some other theme… and then I found this thread. It is a responsive theme but wasn’t allowing pinch to zoom. Tried the plug in and…. It works! Thank you so much
