How can I use Visual Composer on Specific Page on Mobile Theme

I love Mobile theme. It’s really fast. But here is the issue.

Apart from general daily use, sometimes I need to create a new page or post which needs visual composer functions.

Is there any way to disable or exclude “mobile theme plugins” for certain pages or posts ? Can’t we write some code which will make “mobile theme plugin” ineffective for certain pages or posts?

I know you might tell me to disable the mobile theme , but please try to understand that it is not a solution. Mobile theme makes websites really super fast but for certain pages, visual richness is more important than speed.

TagDiv is a strong team and all your themes are going to be used by us for long long time so. it’s really important to find solutions to these issues. If not now and then at least in the future updates.

Please give me some hope.

Hi

Mobile theme can’t be disabled only for a specific page, sorry. When is used it will affect or change the entire site. A possible solution would be to add support for Visual Composer in mobile theme but for the moment we don’t plan to add this feature as will defeat theme’s purpose. Mobile theme was intent to be fast and many feature were removed to increase the speed. For the moment the only way to use Visual Composer on mobile devices is by using the main theme.

Thanks!

70% of the internet is on mobile now. Even google is almost ready to go “Mobile first” for their ranking algorithm and everything. So, I can’t ignore mobile speed and optimization but at the same time, just because of speed, we are killing almost all other features that Newspaper has to offer. It’s so ironic that the whole documentation for Newspaper mobile theme can be written on just one full-length page but it’s been used 70-80% of the time ( in terms of traffic). Hence , we are doing everything for 20-30% traffic but not for the major portion 🙁

I also feel that just because now you have created a separate plugin for the mobile theme, psychologically , you might be putting less effort in making further mobile optimization in your parent theme. Since you might be thinking that you have already achieved 300-400% more optimization on mobile theme so, if someone needs speed, you have a ‘ ready answer’ to ask them to use “Mobile theme” . but that time, neither user, nor you think that in that case, the whole awesome “Newspaper” theme will become the simplest blog theme which has nothing to offer other than speed in terms functionality;

So, Please give enough time to mobile theme feature updates and then you can give an option to “enable and disable” visual composer for mobile theme.

In fact, for the main theme too, we should have the option to disable or enable “loading of extra codes” page. post or categories basis to optimize it fully. We are using hard-coded shortcodes and smart list options in our various posts, so, if we even think to change the theme in future, it is going to break the site. So, it’s highly unlikely that we are ever going to change the theme.

Therefore we have high hopes from TagDiv.

Thank you.

Hi

From the very begging the purpose of mobile theme was to be fast and clean. It was intent to serve very light version of the page in a very short time. We didn’t added support for shortcodes so far and will not be added in future either. More features involve more resources and the loading time will be higher.
There are no mobile optimization in the parent theme, all php code runs the same on all devices, only the css and js are a bit different. The parent theme can be fast on all devices if a proper configuration is used.

Thanks!

Hey Andrei, Any word about this awesome life saver plugin I discovered for the first the time called “Plugin Organiser” with 4.8 out of 5 ratings. Plugin link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/

It appears that it can solve this issue. Any comment or previous experience ?

Thank you.
