How can I verify the mobile theme is displaying?

My website looks the exact same before I enable the mobile theme and after it.

Also, will it load all of my CSS and custom code? Will it keep all of my color settings and such?

What is the downside to using the mobile theme?

Hello !

The Mobile theme was specially designed for optimization on mobile devices.Unfortunately on mobile theme you cannot do much changes of design but you will achieve greater optimization for your website on mobile devices.

To see if your mobile theme works you can do that by inspecting your website using the inspector tool and selec mobile device. Refresh and you should see differences just like here:

Mobile Theme off: https://www.screencast.com/t/5hlCBmSh

Thank you !

Thanks for the response but isn’t that just a difference between responsive views of the website? Perhaps I don’t understand the difference between responsive and the mobile theme? Could you please clear that up for me?

Hi,

The mobile theme is a plugin that provide you a better speed then responsive version of theme, but in order to achieve that speed you’ll need to create a new content for pages because in the most of cases those were made with builders ( tagDiv Composer, WPBakery ) and you need to use only the mobile editor ( you need to set the content for pages in mobile editor and this content will be display on mobile theme)

Also for the 3 blocks, you’ll need to have set same feature posts (that have set feature category) -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QsJ6ppY4

If you do not have the featured category, you’ll need to add some posts in feature category -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ if you do not have this category you can create it, just make sure that you set the category name to be
Featured

Let me know if you have more questions!

Thanks. I wasn’t aware I’d have to have duplicate content created for both versions. That would be a huge headache. Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately for the moment this is the best way to achieve a better page-speed using mobile theme.

Thank you for your understanding!
