Whole Site Pinch to Zoom with Responsive Mode On

Hi I have searched your forums and you repeatedly say you must disable responsive mode to get pinch to zoom to work on mobile, but on the Theme Forest comments page, you tell a user by the name of EvenTrader that is possible to have the whole site be responsive and make pinch to zoom work. You said "Just one little thing must be changed ". Can you please tell me what that one little thing is?

To be clear I am not just looking for pinch to zoom with images, I want it to work for the whole site or for at least certain pages.

By the way, I am really enjoying the theme so far... excellent work!

Thank you!

  • Hi,

    we have no idea where you found such message but it's not true. To have "pinch to zoom" you must disable responsive. That's the only way to do it. There is no other work around because it's technically not possible to have both (pinch to zoom & responsive) at the same time.

    Thanks for understanding!
  • See Microsoft.com and the X wordpress theme. They are both responsive and zoom works on mobile devices. 

    If you do a search for "Mobile Zoom" on the comments section of your theme page on Themeforest you will see your interaction with "EvenTrader".


  • If that's what you call "pinch to zoom" in responsive mode, you can easily remove one thing in header.php file. Instead of:
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
    supposed to be:
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    So as you see, just maximum-scale=1 must be removed.
  • Thank you! That worked:)

    It works fine for me!
    I'm working an NGO site and we have a lot infographic and chart need to show,
    so I still need pinch to zoom option while having an Responsive site.
    hopefully this setting could become a button which we have option to choose in future!
    Thanks for raising this problem and thanks betheme for solving this problem!

  • @lulugoh Pinch to zoom is already included into theme and you can find it under Theme options > Responsive > General section.
