Hey,
First I thought it’s a bug on my mobile but I re-checked everything but still noticed the most hated smart list-7 on my mobile theme for any kind of smart lists I have on my website.
Then I started reading threads here for the solution and then discovered this harsh truth that Mobile theme uses SMART LIST-7 as the default and only option. Really???
We all want the mobile theme to be speedy and easy to browse for all our mobile visitors but then SMART LIST-7 is the slowest and the most irritating list option available ever. This is the same option used by many SPAMMY websites to increase the page views on their website. But on users point of view SMART LIST-7 is the best and then SMART LIST-2 is traditional yet elegant and most popular ways to show listicles.
I am still unsure, how on this earth, your amazing team decided to use just only one option for the smart list on mobile theme and that STYLE-7, it just kills the speedy experience of using mobile theme.
Tell me if you don’t agree ?
Now what’s the option I have… other than to switch off this amazing mobile theme? How can I use STYLE-1 or STYLE-2 on mobile ?
Should I wait for the next update because dozens of threads are demanding for the same thing which I am asking for here.
Please try to provide the solution. Thank you!
Hi,
The mobile theme dopes indeed convert the smart lists to a single predefined one just as it converts the post templates to a single predefined one and the homepage to a predefined one. THi sis the impklementation the developers made. it is all presented here in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The smart list on mobile is not smartlist 7 but rather “mobile smart list 1” as you can see in the code: http://screencast.com/t/xRmQ7zS2Cp
It is a new smartlist created specially for the mobile theme. We do plan on adding more options to the mobile theme. It is still in it;s version 1.0 We are still gathering info about what users need on their mobile theme so it will require a bit of patience and we will implement more options to it in the future.
If for some reason you do not like the mobile theme plugin, you can simply deactivate it and use the standard responsive version of the theme. Our theme is already responsive without the mobile theme.
The mobile theme was created as an alternative to the responsive version.
Thank you!
Thank you Bogdan.
After thinking a lot , now I think I have to deactivate this mobile plugin till the next version updates. Is there any suggestions from you for HOMEPAGE OPTIMISATION on desktop version so that it can produce almost equivalent ( to the mobile theme) speed and optimization when being seen on mobiles? Like what are the things I should take care of.
Regards.
Hello nano2408,
Please notice that the mobile theme has been specially created for to be more fast and clear. Please keep in mind that the desktop version can not reach the speed of mobile as it is loaded much more items compared to the mobile version and also, it is more complex that mobile version. Anyway, the theme is to a constant changing and we will always make changes and improvements for better results. Also, if you want to increase the page speed loading for your desktop, you should try to read our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Please notice that this tutorial are addressed to the advanced users and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you.
