Sequential Theme not acting like responsive site

    I am using the Sequential Theme, but it is not displaying as expected on an iPhone. I just get an almost unreadable (too small) version of the desktop version. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Can you let us know what the URL is of the site where you’re having this problem? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise. Thank you!

    The site is: https://viciouscirclelabs.wordpress.com

    I just realized the problem. If I go directly to that site it seems to work fine. But if I go through the redirected url https://labs.viciouscircle.com then it no longer is responsive and HTTPS fails.

    Suggestions?

    It doesn’t look like you have labs.viciouscircle.com set as a domain in your WordPress.com account, so we have no control over the behavior of that URL.

    If you want to use HTTPS on that subdomain, you would need to configure a SSL certificate wherever you have subdomain setup. Based on this SSL Labs report, you don’t have a SSL certificate set up currently:

    https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=labs.viciouscircle.com&hideResults=on&ignoreMismatch=on&latest

    However the most likely reason for the problem is that you’re loading viciouscirclelabs.wordpress.com via an iframe based on your page source: 

    <html>

<head>
  <title>ViciousCircle Labs</title>  
  <meta name="description" content="">
  <meta name="keywords" content="">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="https://viciouscirclelabs.wordpress.com" frameborder="0" />
</frameset>

</html>

    We don’t support workarounds like that, so the inconsistencies in your theme while using that iframe would not be supported.

    You can map your subdomain to your WordPress.com site viciouscirclelabs.wordpress.com by purchasing a domain mapping subscription and following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-subdomain/

    That way your subdomain will work and load the actual site rather than the iframe and that should alleviate the problem. It would also add a SSL certificate to your subdomain at no additional charge.

    I hope that helps!
