Forcing a mobile them on iPad / tablet

Permalink
Does anyone know how to force a mobile theme onto a tablet? I've used the forum for the theme developer but rarely is there a reply, I'm not sure it's supported anymore so hoping someone here might have an idea. We use Supermint. The mobile theme runs fine on a smaller screen like a phone, but tablets load the desktop theme making the menu useless or inaccessible.

Any ideas welcome

It depends on the theme, but is most likely governed by media queries in the theme CSS and associated layout classes.

For Elemental/Clonamental, and other bootstrap3 based themes, the grid classes are https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid...

For your specific request, one solution would be based on modifying the theme template.php files to substitute col-sm-XX to col-md-XX, but there will be more to it than just that. It all depends on the theme.

Another solution would be based on modifying the breakpoints in the theme less or css, increasing the 768 breakpoint for a different value. Again, there will be more to it than that - there will be all sorts of side effects that depend on the theme and the site.

Proceed very cautiously. Whatever you do is likely to have unanticipated consequences elsewhere in your theme and site.
