@bluellipse What version did you upgrade from? The BP Default theme has been responsive since BP 1.5 and we’re on BP 1.6.2 so this shouldn’t be a surprise. Are you using a bp-default child theme or using the BP Default theme?
I upgraded from 1.5. And yes I am using a bp-default child theme , but if I switch back to BP Default theme, I still have the same issue.
What you are trying to do isn’t going to be easy (or advisable, in my opinion). It’s probably going to involve extracting an older version on bp default from a much older then current version of buddypress (and probably having to do a lot of modification) or something equally unpleasant. Making something which is designed as responsive unresponsive is a little bit like making a car out of spare parts from a plane (a lot more trouble then it’s typically worth).
Not trying to judge your motivations at all here but you may want to consider if you can live with a responsive theme as it has a lot of benefits if you can. Mobile device traffic share is growing everyday and i suspect it won’t be long before most web traffic is via mobile devices. In fact google has even issued statements to the fact that there a search benefits for using single responsive design as opposed to distinct layouts for different devices:

Obviously, i have no idea why you don’t like responsive so maybe that’s all irrelevant but i just thought you might want to consider that.
Hey @bluellipse don’t worry about reverting or any of that other jazz, just try removing the following code from your header.php file near the top;
“
Of course, place the updated header.php file in your child theme so that it’s not overwritten on the next update.
I can’t recall offhand if we’d also deleted anything else, but I’m pretty sure that this will quickly solve your problem.
Sorry everyone, but the “responsiveness” does look terrible on mobile, at least concerning the BP-Default/child theme, and we killed it off as soon as it showed up and are currently exploring other options for mobile, which is extremely important these days, no doubt about it, but achieving it by making your site into a jumbled mess is most definitely not the way to go here.
Hope this helps!
Sorry, the code to remove is;
“
Sorry, the code to remove is;
?php if ( current_theme_supports( ‘bp-default-responsive’ ) ) : ?><?php endif; ?
Thanks.
You mean this code, correct?
@bluellipse it’s not letting me place the code within the reply for some reason, so just find what I’ve been able to post above (it stripped some of it away, such as; meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″) and remove that entire line of code that exists between the php statements and you should be good to go.
so removing that line of code reverts the entire theme to non responsive then?
Good to hear it, @bluellipse!
And sorry, BuddyPress Mods, and everyone else, for the multiple replies here that I couldn’t get to work properly with the correct code (backticks, [code][/code], etc.) showing?
@ubernaut that is correct.
@inkblots Apologies for the inconvenience. We’ll get this fixed soon.
@All Thank you for your patience.
This is exactly what I am looking for.
Thank you very much 😉
You could try putting the following in you child theme functions.php file
`function bbg_enqueue_styles() {
remove_theme_support( ‘bp-default-responsive’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bbg_enqueue_styles’, 5 );`
For more info see: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3881#comment:2
please aces where exactly do i add it in the function.php file? above or below the content
@mr-bronze see Boone’s answer in the link Aces gave –
“call it *after* bp-default registers theme support (after_setup_theme, 10) and *before* the stylesheet is enqueued (wp_enqueue_styles, 10)”
