Title: Remove WordPress Responsive Design Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Remove WordPress Responsive Design * Resolved [pates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pates/) * (@pates) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/) * I have scoured Google and it appears no one is asking this question. * My WordPress site changes completely depending on the size of the browser. I am trying to disable this function and just keep the site exactly the same size no matter what browser. * I have no idea how to code a responsive design so at the moment the site gets completely butchered. I’ve tried deleting all this [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/) stuff but that seems to change nothing. * Any help here would be hugely appreciated. * Thanks, * Nick Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [Mark Ratledge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/) * (@songdogtech) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/#post-2881226) * > I have no idea how to code a responsive design so at the moment the site gets > completely butchered. * Responsive means the site design resizes according to the browser window; best thing to do is look for a **non-responsive** theme: [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/) * Thread Starter [pates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pates/) * (@pates) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/#post-2881302) * I’ve coded my site and styled it from the twentyeleven theme.

I guess the max-width call is one of the basics of making a theme responsive? * [Rev.

The percentages still hold true, keeping the appropriate proportions that 2011 was designed for (at 1000px), just nothing adapts, and the media queries won’t happen anymore as there is a set width, we aren’t allowing a smaller display. * Thread Starter [pates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pates/) * (@pates) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/#post-2881436) * Taking this max-width out was a seriously positive step. I think websites are perfectly navigable at full size and don’t need the width adjusted for mobiles and tablets. I’m sure a highly experienced coder would be able to make something pretty spectacular but for the average webmaster this just gets in the way. * Thanks again for clearing this up and teaching me a thing or two along the way 😉 * [Saffron Avenue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saffron-avenue/) * (@saffron-avenue) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/#post-2881702) * I am using a genesis theme and need to remove the option of the responsive layout. Not really sure how to do it though? * I couldn’t find max-width anywhere in the child theme stylesheet? * THank you, * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wordpress-responsive-design/#post-2881703) * I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.
