Mr Papa, Brandon, Yellow,

The line of code is in my header.php file.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Do I just remove, or edit that line of code? I guess my question is, how do I make it a fixed width theme?

Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue. frown Only some of the images are unaffected when zooming in. Most images are still distorted. Any ideas?

If your theme has no options for fluid or a fixed width you can try editing your WP theme's CSS file.

If you edit your /themes/admired/style.css and add something like

width: 1275px;

to the 

body {

element that should force it.

Hi Brandon,

In my theme's style.css file. If I understand correctly, I will edit the following:


from:

body {
    background: #fff;
    line-height: 1;

 

To:

body {
    background: #fff;
    line-height: 1;
    width: 1275px; 

 

That still didn't work. Any ideas?

Well, not to diss on your WP theme but it has several body elements in it which makes it a little harder for you to find and change things.

Look for the body element that has this

body {
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-image: url("images/default-bg.png");
    background-position: center top;
    background-repeat: repeat;
 
Add the width entry at the bottom there and see if it works.
If not how dependent on that theme are you? smile

Brandon,

Thanks for the advise but it looks like nothing is working here. I added the width code where necessary and my theme is still squeezing images when zooming in. I'm not married to my theme. What theme does this simple:press forum here use?

I meant wp theme but now that you mention it, I'm open to using a different sp theme as well. Please let me know what you recommend and I will plan accordingly. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
