I’m mostly used to building responsive websites where I build a desktop theme and the mobile resizes accordingly, with the ability to do small tweaks to make it fit better. But I see in Newspaper that you offer a Mobile specific option. Is this required? If not, is it suggested to use this? We messed around and built a rough mobile homepage but not even the color or the logo is the same. I just want some guidance before I go and build the site.
Hi SocietyN, our theme has a responsive version, and the mobile plugin and page are only suggestion to have better performance or a different content, so using our theme you can choose between three options for mobile:
1. Responsive version, this is by default when you install the theme and you do not use mobile page or mobile theme plugin.
2. Mobile page/template this allows you to create with tagDiv Composer and cloud a different layout and set different elements for mobile and iPad/tablet and it will overwrite the responsive version.
3. Mobile theme plugin, this is a light theme version for mobile that will overwrite the mobile page and responsive version if enabled.
So when you have a mobile page/template this will be used instead of a responsive version, but if you also have the mobile theme enabled, this one will override both of them.
How to combine them? Yes, this can be possible, for example the mobile page/template will apply only on that page or cloud template that is assigned. But what to do if you want to use a mobile theme plugin too? If you use mobile theme, in Gutenberg editor it is an option to disable the mobile theme in current post/page, if you use the option, then it will be use the mobile page/template (if is assigned) or the responsive version.
So in your case you can disable the mobile theme on the homepage -> https://i.imgur.com/NX57q4t.png or if you do not want it at all, disable the plugin or use it only for amp -> https://i.imgur.com/Grlz5Ee.png.
Here is also a video that explains all those -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
Hope this will help you!
I could not install any mobile theme, another problem is that the menu created in the mobile theme does not work and I could not run it at all. And so I was deprived of using the mobile feature of the theme. But using mobile theme is very important for speed performance, desktop can work perfectly but mobile theme
may not work as well.
