Hi,

First, thank you for making this theme… I love it! Everything works great and I am having a blast customizing it.

One thing I would like to know if it is possible is to allow mobile device users to pinch zoom. As of right now, the responsive design doesn’t allow the user to pinch zoom into smaller icons or photos or even blocks of text that might not be totally readable on the phone.

Is there some code I can insert to allow this?

Thank you for your time.

Mike

Could you please clarify with more details what exactly you want to do and show us screenshots?

Hi Robert,

This wouldn’t be something I can screenshot. Here is what I mean in more detail:

When I visit my website on my iPhone, I’m unable to use my fingers to pinch and zoom to make the website bigger on my screen.

I tried Googling the issue, here is a link I found. Any thoughts?

Hello,

Yes, you can use that tip to add zoom and we’ll also add such feature in our next theme update. Edit royal/header.php, replace line 7
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"/>
with
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=2.0"/>
