The page is locked to one screen orientation

css-orientation-lock

The layout only works one way round and does not adapt when the device is rotated.

Who this affects

People whose device is fixed in place, mounted on a wheelchair, for example, and cannot simply turn it.

Fix it in WordPress

Search the theme's CSS for an orientation media query and make it responsive rather than restrictive.

What the fix is, technically

Remove the orientation media query that hides or breaks content, and let the layout work in both orientations.
