    If I run my content pages as simple header, full width content and footer then the pages render correctly on mobile displays.
    If the page has a side bar with widgets (in this case Simple Social Icons, eNews and user profile) then the content section runs off screen (which you can't swipe in) and the sidebar widgets get rendered under the main content (as you would expect).

    Any guesses as to why the content isn't scaling properly when using sidebars and widgets?
    Remove the sidebar and the content scales correctly.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm also having a similar issue with my sidebar and widgets.

    Thought it was the full width header but I'm still having the issue when I revert to a text header.

    Content on mobile is much better displayed when I remove sidebar.

    I've been doing loads of experiments and it comes down to the sidebar.
    Without sidebar (one widget or 10 - doesn't matter) the content areas are scaling correctly, add the sidebar and they scale incorrectly.

    It's not the images in the content (they scale fine with no sidebar). It's not the widgets in the homepage layout (Lifestyle Pro btw), as the blog pages exhibit similar behaviour.

    I have noticed that when the page scales correctly with no sidebar, the two widgets (Home Bottom Left, Home Bottom Right) don't scale correctly, but Home Top and Home Middle do.

    I've actually made my site unresponsive - as I thought it might help. But sidebars are still behaving oddly on a mobile.

    Does anyone have any solutions please?

    Seems no one knows, or if they do they're not looking on these forums.

    I'll leave this here over the weekend and then approach support.

    I had the same problem .... unless i deactivated the caching plugin^^

    So cachify was the one who works against the css and responsive layout. But it works with WP Super Cache ...
