TABLE OF CONTENTS


Prerequisites

  1. ShortPoint is installed in your SharePoint 2019 or Office 365 environment.
  2. You are working with Classic Sites (Modern Sites are responsive by default, this is why the Theme Builder for Modern Pages does not have this feature included).

Issue


SharePoint classic sites by default are not responsive and mobile friendly. 


When you open your SharePoint classic site in mobile, you will see the horizontal scrolling and the same design as in desktop. The desktop view will be used to show your SharePoint sites in mobile.


Making SharePoint sites responsive in one click


This is what we are going to do now: make all classic SharePoint sites responsive and look beautiful on mobile devices using ShortPoint.


Step 1. Activate the ShortPoint Theme Builder

This will activate ShortPoint Theme Builder:





Step 2. Activate the Responsive Website feature

  1. Navigate to General Settings > General Layout.
  2. Enable Responsive Website option.
  3. Click Publish to save your changes.



That's it! Now your SharePoint classic site is responsive.


Bonus: You can control your SharePoint site mobile look
