    Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this. I’m the new administrator of this lovely site:

    http://s566126061.onlinehome.us/

    (it will soon have its own ‘normal’ URL but that development url will remain valid)

    It was designed from scratch from the ground up (or at least that’s what I was told) and no responsive code was added. I’ve tried two different plugins to make the site mobile-friendly (jetpack and handheld by elegant themes) but both of them show blank pages in the mobile view. I assume that the custom theme is using a non-standard page content area, which mobile-theme generating plugins can’t see. I’m not completely against making a sub-site that would present on mobile with the content of the main site duplicated, but I’d like to avoid it if possible. can anyone recommend a ‘gentle’ edit to the code to make the theme more ‘friendly’ to plugins that make the site mobile-ready? I’d really like to avoid any large-scale changes to the code, as I was given this site to manage and wasn’t part of the design discussion.

    It could be, yes. Have you tried switching to one of the default themes, like Twenty Fifteen, for a few minutes, to validate that theory?

    Let me know how it goes.
