I am setting up the Newspaper theme in order to update the theme of my site. This is being done in development subdomain off the main site. I am unable to get the mobile theme to work. On the mobile page, I get the message “The mobile theme path couldn’t be set…..”
I have read the forums about the problem. I have turned of all the plugins and cleared the cache but the mobile site will still not work. Do you have any ideas of how to proceed next?
I am using Newspaper 7.7.1
thanks,
John
Hi,
The mobile theme is fully compatible and tested properly with the theme so it should work without any problems. Try removing and installing the mobile theme plugin, while deactivating all your plugins except the ones bundled with the theme (very important) to rule out any interference. If this does not work you could make a fresh theme install – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and check again. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Simion,
Thanks for you response! I had previously verified that plugins were not the problem. A fresh and clean theme install solved the problem. Some code from my previous theme was still in functions.php. When removed, the mobile site started working.
