[Resolved] Enable pinch & zoom?

[leo]

I would like to enable zooming on smartphones. Usually you can achieve this with some fiddling in header.php, but I don’t see anything appropriate there.

Help?

Hi there,

You should be able to pinch and zoom in with no issues – I just confirmed this on my development site, and on this live site.

Is it not working for you? What kind of phone/browser?

Tom,

I’m on a Samsung Galaxy S6 using Firefox 39.0. But you are right, it works well in other browsers. I hadn’t thought of trying anything different than Firefox, because usually everything works fine in FF.

OT: GP is fantastic. I like it more every day. Well done!

Ah, interesting – I’ve never actually used Firefox on my phone.

Does it zoom in when you double tap?

Glad you’re enjoying GP! 🙂

As far as I can tell now, Firefox zooms when you pinch on ‘regular’ sites, but not on WP sites. Double tapping doesn’t work at all.

Avoiding Chrome is not easy… 😉

On all WP sites, or just GP? Definitely a weird problem! 🙂

I checked some WP sites I made with themes from Magazine3, Cryout Creations and Studio Press. Same everywhere.

Good to know it’s not just GP then 🙂
