Hello,
can you please explain me, or refer to an article explaining clearly the difference between the “Edit Mobile Page” and “Mobile Theme Plugin” ?
Especially I have the following question:
– As far as I have understood the “Mobile site” generated by the “Mobile Theme Plugin” have a FIXED LAYOUT and CANNOT BE CUSTOMISED, Correct?
– Can I create a custom mobile page that can be customised with the module that I choose, without using the Mobile Theme Plugin?
– If yes, can you please, explain how relate the full web site and the “Edit Mobile Page” from the edit site and how properly create one, I have made same test, but I get erratic result, and sometime the website use the full page, sometime the mobile page that I created is used by the desktop one, and I cannot get how to properly use, the mobile page.
– After I edit the “mobile page” and I save, the standard page edit module appear, and ask to save the page, and the page is saved with the address: mydomain.com/mobile
Do I Need to be added a plugin that will redirect the home page visitors to this address in case of mobile user?
Thank you very much
Hi,
Using our theme you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
If you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer, then when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
So, the mobile responsive is what you see when that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
The Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edit with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin cannot.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activated and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page, you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activated.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
No, you do not need a plugin to redirect to the homepage; this will automatically change, but please make sure that you have a cache plugin with the support alos mobile versions.
Thank you!
