Mobile Version

Still not clear how to visualize on my mobile the page I built through a template and/or tagDiv composer.

I’ve seen the space on the bottom part of each page “mobile version” but I can not believe I need to edit twice a page. I’m looking to the panel theme looking for a way to connect what I’m doing for the web version with the mobile one but I can’t find any.

Do I need to install the mobile plugin? I read is not mandatory, it just speeds up the mobile version.

Hi,

You can visualize how it will look like on mobile using the viewport switcher, in the composer

Some settings are even per viewport, so you can have a specific setting set per device.

If the optional mobile theme is not installed, the same content from desktop will be displayed across all devices.
Installing the mobile plugin will display a different and much simpler version of the website.
That would be all there is to it. If I misunderstand something please correct me.

Thanks

Hi,

If I use the mobile plugin I visualize nothing of the page.
If I deactivate it then I see the page how shown in the preview of your screenshot.

Is it normal? I mean the plugin of mobile, shouldn’t work by itself making the contents more suitable for mobiles?

Thanks

Hi,

You could activate the mobile theme and check the website on mobile, see how it looks and works. That would be the only way to visualize the mobile theme variant.

If you consider that it is what you want, keep it active. If not, deactivate it. There will be no problem, it all depends on what you consider to be the best choice.

Thanks

Hi Simion,

probably I’m not able to explain my self properly.
The thing is that when I activate the plugin I visualize nothing from mobile. The pages look to be empty.

I wish I could check how this plugin optimizes the mobile experience, but actually, the only thing I’ve seen so far is nothing.

So, the thing I was asking since the beginning was, is it normal? am I doing something wrong? ’cause to be honest I’m not satisfied with how some pages look on mobile and I would like to check how the plugin works, one of the reasons we got this theme too.

Meanwhile, I will try again.
Thanks

Hi,

So the pages are completely empty? That is unusual, please provide a link to your website so I can check on mobile. For example the mobile homepage, there should be a front-page with the intended elements, a top grid and latest articles

As a note, when the mobile theme is active you have to create 2 versions of each page. One for desktop with the page builder or in any way possible, and one for mobile with the simple mobile editor

If a page has nothing in the mobile editor, it will be empty (when the mobile theme is active).

Then that was my first question.
I need to edit twice a page if the plugin is active.

That’s why I see nothing. I thought the plugin was working by himself. Then I will try to see how it looks but, to be honest sounds a bit tricky and tiring to edit each page twice.

Here the link to the website: https://youthnetworks.net

You will see the slider on the homepage ’cause I’ve just added the shortcode. But for example, here there’s nothing: https://youthnetworks.net/petitions/

It’s a pity a can’t use the visual composer to edit the mobile version too.

Thanks

Hello,


@francojoint
, yes, this happens because you did not add anything in the mobile editor. Please read this guide to learn about what the mobile theme plugin does and what implementation is needed for it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The theme is also responsive without the mobile theme. The plugin is just an alternative so if you do not like the implementation you can always disable it and use the standard responsive version of the theme.


@Viju
The theme does not offer any style settings for amp so it can only be done with custom code modifications. Please check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fonts-for-quotes-in-amp/

Thank you!
