Custom Template with Mobile Theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I’ve activated the Mobile Theme plugin from Newspaper. I understand there is a second content block that is displayed on pages – that is not the issue here.

We are using a completely custom template file. This template file is not being pulled in on the mobile version, even though the template is still selected.

Do I need to make a second template for the mobile version? If so, where does it live? Or, how do I get the existing template to be pulled in (I had expected it already would).

Thanks,
~Chris

So I found I could drop the template file in Newspaper/mobile/<themename>.php and it picked it up.

However, I’m using a child theme. I tried adding the file in <ChildTheme>/mobile/<themename>.php and it did *not* work.

How can it be picked up in the Child Theme? As it stands now, anytime the main Newspaper theme is updated, my custom template will be blown away. And I can’t locate it in <ChildTheme>/<themename>.php, as that is the template for the non-mobile version of the file, that is still working correctly.

Thanks,
~Chris

Hi,

Sorry but the mobile theme plugin does not have child theme support for the moment. The child theme is only available for the main theme. We will work on this on future releases and improve our child theme support.

Thank you for your understanding.
