Many folks have asked about this.
This is the method I use.
I want to be able to selectively show or hide menu items from the main desktop menu or the mobile menu.
Why?
Sometimes there are many extra buttons a user will need to have access to quickly on a mobile device, but these items dont need to show on the main menu. Often we add supplemental links at the footer of websites for advertising inquires or secondary pages. We dont want them on the main menu, but they are important, yet we dont want mobile users scrolling for miles to find the button either.
or another reason…
The items shown in a drop down or megamenu on the desktop do not look good on mobile.
for example, you may have a button called “help” on the desktop. This button would indclude items like “reset password” or “your account”.
on a desktop it rolls over very nicely, but on mobile it requires an extra tap to the “help button” and then drop the menu down to see the choices.
so to solve this you can selectively hide or show menu items via CSS
They will still load and might be visible for a split second as CSS will only visually hide it wont remove it.
You will often need to create TWO menu items of the same things.
You can show one to the desktop users and show another to the mobile users.
To hide menu items from desktop but show on mobile:
(find the menu item number in the menu section of wordpress, just roll mouse over and look at the link at the bottom of the browser, it will contai your menu item #)
Then add this to the Custom CSS section of your theme panel with your menu numbers
(replace 123 with your menu item number)
@media(min-width:767px){
.menu-item-123, .menu-item-123{
display:none!important;
}
To show items ONLY on desktop and HIDE on mobile try this
It is especially usefull when you dont want drop downs to appear on the mobile menu slideout but still want the items to show in the mobile menu slideout.
@media(max-width:767px){
.menu-item-123, .menu-item-123{
display:none!important;
}}
Admins feel free to correct me.

Hello,
If you use the mobile theme plugin, post templates as well as smart list templates will be different as the mobile theme plugin does not use all of the styles from the main theme. The mobile theme has it’s own styles for these elements in order to bring top speeds for mobile devices. If this is not to your liking, please disable the mobile theme plugin.

Thank you!
I had 2 Google Analytics plugins installed and activated, but made the mistake of adding the Google Analytics code to the header.php file in the child theme. Currently the 2 plugins (Google Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP), and Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights) are disabled, and the code is removed from header.php. The problem is, the header is missing (top bar and main menu) and the mobile view of the theme is also not working.
Problem 1. Header is missing:

Problem 2. Only desktop version of site is accessible on mobile view:

This is a screenshot of the original mobile view:

Hi,
I believe this is somewhat of a misunderstanding. For the moment there are no settings in the AMP plugin for the fonts used. This may change in the future after a plugin update. The plugin is still at the beginning, it will be further developed.
The mobile theme also does not have any font settings. This is meant for improved performance on mobile phones. Loading extra fonts may slow down the website.
The fonts it uses by default are hard coded ion the mobile theme files. IF this is required for you, there is a solution you could try

Thanks
I have yours theme on 10-12 web sites, and one or two of them have same issue. I have white space on mobile view like on screenschoots after content… Where is problem? Regards!
Hello,
Your site seems fine at the moment. You do not seem to have the mobile theme plugin active though. The AMP template works just fine.
If you need help activating the mobile theme plugin, please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Also please try this without any other plugins as plugin conflicts can also affect the mobile theme.
If the issue is still present, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate the issue.
Thank you!
Hi There, I have some questions about the mobile version of my website.
– I posted an article yesterday, you can see it if you access my website in a computer, but if you try do see in the mobile page it is not there. It seems that it never been posted. I don’t know why, last week I did the same think and it is ok!
– Some weeks ago, when I access my site in my mobile, it was a totally different template. I thought that it was the Newspaper The Mobile Theme, but now it looks like the Computer theme, responsive but same as in the computer, could you help me. I tried to install the The Mobile Theme plugin but I couldn’t.
– I installed the TagDiv AMP. When I publish an article them AMP option is enabled. But if I access my articles in the site they are just the same as the computer, and when I find them in Google Search Page they are not with the AMP Thunder Icon. Could you help me?
Hi,
If that is what you want, I will try to help you. The category tag links on modules are created here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qYbyDrCDyzA
So try adding the additional parameter there, then inspect some links after making this change.
The date displayed on mobile is not a link, so I don’ quite know what you want to do about this date.
Maybe you can find a plugin to modify all links at once, and remove/add the parameters you want. Or search through the theme for the title tags that need to be removed, that would be the only other way. Also note that you might loose these modifications after a theme update.
Thanks
Ah okay thank you. That has already been set but it doesn’t change the mobile navigation shown in the above screenshot.
Below are screenshots of my settings.


Hi Team,
I have inserted the code into Newspaper theme. However, the popover ad doesn’t show up at all. It seems that there is something conflicting with your theme. Could you kindly help to have a look on it? The code below is already inserted on my website NicoBros.com.
<script type=”text/javascript”>
amzn_assoc_ad_type = “link_enhancement_widget”;
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “nicobros07-20”;
amzn_assoc_linkid = “f2858867897a4d90ae4139255acb63e8”;
amzn_assoc_placement = “”;
amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;
amzn_assoc_region = “US”;
</script>
<script src=”//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&MarketPlace=US”></script>
Below is the related documentation for your reference. Thank you.

My logo has disappeared from my header and footer. This happened before I updated to 8.8. It seems to only be a desktop issue, no matter the browser. It renders fine on mobile. I am not using a child theme.
When I’m loading my post for the very first time, and scroll down to the comment section, author and commenters images are missing.
I think it’s a lazy load issue, please have a look here:
https://passivegrow.com/5-best-wordpress-multipurpose-themes-2018-mobile-seo-friendly/
And help me fix this.
I just tried to shared my post on mobile by clicking on whatsapp icon, and it only shares the title text, not the link of the post.
Please take a look at my post:
https://passivegrow.com/5-best-wordpress-multipurpose-themes-2018-mobile-seo-friendly/
And try to share it with whatsapp on mobile, and it’s only sending post headline without post link.
Hey,
I want to change the font and font size in AMP & the Mobile theme as well.
Please tell me the procedure.
Since newspaper 8 update the child theme conflicts with these plugins. Switching to the original theme the site displays correctly. Please advise what I should do.
The following plugins were disabled because they are incompatible with this version of Newspaper:
• tagDiv Composer
• tagDiv Social Counter
• tagDiv AMP
• tagDiv Mobile Theme
Hello Raveess,
Unfortunately, please notice that the menu on mobile is too different than the desktop, sorry! The theme does not have any such an option that allows you to display the mobile menu like the desktop menu, sorry! If you want to display something like this, you should recreate the code the entire mobile menu, task which is not easy and which involves doing such custom work. Notice that we cannot provide custom services at the moment and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you!
Thanks for your understanding!
Thanks for you reply.
Sorry my last question.
If i use the plugin: td-theme-mobile, I must put the google analytics code, or is taken automatically from the main theme?
Thanks
P.S for the boxed layout the solution is use a backgorund color or image, true?
Hi,
I tried accessing some of your post links from your twitter page on mobile. For me the intended version is displayed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qyMHrBwpsmn
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zLLNXfFTm
Either the default responsive version or mobile theme is installed, will be shown. AMP versions of posts can only be served by Google through Google search. I used Chrome mobile browser in my test.
Thanks
Hi,
That is most unusual indeed. I never seen this before in relation to the mobile theme plugin. A plugin may deactivate itself if intended by the plugin author, but we did not make such a modification to it. I don’t know what could be the cause of this, also nothing concrete online.
After updating the theme update the mobile theme as well. Theme version 8.8 uses this mobile plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/LyYLUByWxq
Check the system status panel, see if there are enough resources
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If possible please let us know if you find the cause of the problem.
Thanks
Hi there,
we are using Newspaper + the mobile theme. Funny thing: since the update from 8.7.4 to 8.7.5 (currently running on 8.8.) the tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin (version 1.1) is deactivating itself randomly. We do not get any warnings or similar within wordpress, it just deactivates itself and we have to switch it on again. This could then work for minutes or hours until it deactivates itself again.
Our site has around 300k visitors a month – so we should normally see a pattern or a trigger that’s responsible for this behavior, but till now we haven’t found out.
We checked the database logs and the server logs – nothing. We also activated debugging – also nothing related to this strange behavior (just a warning we already fixed).
Any ideas what could go wrong? Did you introduce any changes to the mobile theme related to the last updates of the theme?
Server Setup: nginx, easy engine, fastcgi-cache – worked like a charm till the update from 8.7.4 to 8.7.5
Thanks
Hi,
That would be the current functionality yes, there is now method I could provide you to chnage it unfortunately. Both the default responsive version and also the mobile theme will do the same, once the menu or search is accessed and the modal is opened, the page will scroll to top. Sorry of this is an inconvenience.
I will however add this on our list of suggestions and maybe in the future a different functionality will be considered.
Thanks
Hi,
So the website is not displaying on mobile, using the mobile theme plugin and super cache. Please try as a quick test to deactivate all your other plugins, leave theme plugins and super cache active. Also clear the cache. Then test again to see if the problem is solved, which should happen. Let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
The mobile theme may not support switching menus or multi-language implementations and plugins for this. It is designed to be as simple as possible with limited functionality, for improved performance.
It is also optional, you could deactivate it and have the same usability as on desktop. That would be a solution in this case.
Thanks
In my experience – OneSignal works on the theme on 1. Desktop 2. Android mobile devices ( I’m NOT using TagDiv mobile theme – just the desktop as the mobile theme ) so don’t know about the Tagdiv mobile theme…
