You can't turn responsive to fixed except if you have the Custom Design upgrade. Without the upgrade you can only do what you did: switch to a different theme.

BonPress has a "responsive" layout: it shrinks to adapt to different screen resolutions and devices, and when it gets too narrow it turns the sidebar into a footer.

I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having with the Sidekick theme.

It's listed as a "responsive" theme and should be designed with mobile devices in mind, but when I view my blog from an iPad the pages don't fit the iPad screen and I'm missing text on the right-hand side of the page. This is the case when I use the iPad in both its portrait and landscape orientations. I'm not able to scroll across the blog page, either, so can't access the text at all. Any ideas how I can change this so the blog views beautifully on an iPad?

The blog in question is nickyellis.org.uk

Thanks so much in advance,
Kate

Try disabling it via Appearance -> Mobile in your blog's Dashboard.

The entire blog is squished closer in, causing words to separate. My JPEG at the top of my blog won't even show at all. All that is visible are my pages/text. The picture at the top of my blog will not even show, unless you go to full site, and it will only show a small part of it, leaving out most everything. How can I correct this so that it looks the same on mobile as it does on a computer?

I have tried to get used to the infinite scroll/loading more posts but honestly I just think it's absolutely stupid for some kind of blogs and forcing it without giving an option is just weird.

I have never seen a lifestyle blog having such a feature and I don't think I would bother reading it because it just makes everything look chaotic.

If at least the Archive option allowed to show all posts underneath each month, it would make things easier. But I guess I would also have to purchase an upgrade?

I have done such an extensive research before starting my blog deciding between blogger and wordpress and now I am just disappointed with my decision. Blogger seems to be so much more flexible without having to pay for an upgrade.
Is there a way of transporting my blog from wordpress to blogger?

Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes
browse themes until you find one you like and click "activate"
or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
click the "activate" link when it appears

After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

Good idea. I guess I'll have to do some more changes but to find blank themes with the allowance of larger photos is so rare.

I hope I'll learn to like the infinite scroll seeing it's the future, so far I just dislike it when other blogs have it.

Thank you so much for your help.

I disliked infinite scroll when ii was first introduced but now I'm a convert. I also use responsive width themes and suggest you may want to as well.

However, now at the bottom of the page is a button 'older posts' but instead of sending me to the 'previous page', it LOADS more posts. I really don't like this feature of loading more posts on one page, I think it's really confusing for the reader and want to change it into traditional paging. How do I do that?

Looking the blog from an Iphone it doesn't seem so.

Is there an issue with Superhero mobile theme?
