Wordpress Issues.

[Fragil1ty]

So I've got somewhat of an issue really, I'm currently trying to improve our website (for the company that I work for) by trying to find a solution to enable mobile themes on tablets.

The theme that we bought for Wordpress (I should have made one really, but it was a time-consraint issue really), but anyway, we bought a theme (Core - Minimal I think it was called) and although he states that he supports Tablets, he does not, we have tried to get in contact with him, but he was somewhat rude and stated:

"decreased the size of your pictures and make the font smaller", uh? no, that's not the problem here, the problem is that you have not coded your website theme properly to be scalable on tablets, it just displays the desktop view and that is not what we want because when it goes into portrait mode problems arise and it's just not viable for a company where 30-40% of our traffic is web traffic, it's just causing issues.

So what am I asking?

Is there any way to force Mobile on a tablet without a.) getting a new theme or b.) editing the code of the theme (if that's not breaching any kind of agreements with the theme I purchased).

help.

Is this a responsive theme? Because doing what he said will probably fix your problem if it is. There's no such thing as a mobile view in a responsive theme they just resize to fit whatever your viewing it on be it a desktop, mobile or tablet. And it might be that your bigger sized pictures and fonts are stopping the theme from resizing when your going into portrait mode (The theme should be in "desktop view" in landscape mode on any decently sized tablet).

Otherwise, it's either the detection code that is broken (You'll need to edit the code to fix that) or your tablet is giving a desktop user agent instead of a mobile/tablet one (In that case it's the user's fault, can't really do anything about that).

this? says it's responsive design, maybe you just didn't tick the responsive checkbox. also it's from themeforrest all their **** is pretty up to standards.

also you can edit the theme however you want, theme creators hold no rights to themes since wordpress is a free license. at best, they're selling you and tech support.

you sure you your company doesn't want to like hire someone that does this? cuz otherwise you're gonna have a lot of one the job training with wordpress and "issues" (issues always arise with design, especially when 2 idiots get into a room and go, "well why can't we have this?", "that sounds great!")
