Hello,
I’m using Newsmag theme on my desktop. But it keeps spilling to mobile. It shows randomly on mobile pages.
Is there a way I can block Newsmag theme totally from showing on my mobile site?
Hello GistReel,
Please notice that our theme is fully responsive. If you want to stop that behavior for mobile, you should Request the desktop Site option from your browser settings, like this -> https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-request-desktop-version-of-a-web-site-in-chrome-for-android/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
That’s not the solution. I can’t make my readers on my website to show always follow that.
Is there a way I can permanently disable the theme from showing on mobile totally?
Maybe a css code or something.
Hello GistReel,
Unfortunately, our theme has not been designed to have such an option, sorry!
Thanks.
You could likely do what the old school folks (like myself) used to do; simply use a sniffer in your headers, and if it’s a mobile device, load different theme/CSS via redirect. Some “mobile plugins” also do this for you.
A developer could likely help you with this for your custom use case, which is not normal. Typically a “responsive” theme is shown to both desktop and mobile, just as the theme was advertised; then possibly a plugin for new endpoints such as the Automattic AMP plugin.
WP has a cheesy “is_mobile” function built in you can try. Or, like most things related to hacking WP, “google it…”
However, some background
