Hi, I finished creating my site, now I have some questions about the “mobile theme” option of newspaper:
1) to use the “mobile theme” do I have to install the “tagDiv Mobile Theme” plugin? After installing the plugin, will the “mobile theme” become operational immediately?
2) if I wanted to return to the responsive version, what should I do?
3) does the mobile theme have a totally new layout? Do any plugins (for example push notifications) continue to work?
Hello,
Using our theme, you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47 you need to deactivate the tagdiv mobile theme plugin.
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ you need to activate the plugin.
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
If you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer, then when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
So, the mobile responsive is what you see then that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
The Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edit with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin cannot.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activated and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page, you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activated.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reply, but on the mobile theme is it possible to use the active plugins in the desktop version? (for example whatsapp button, etc.)
Hi,
You can do some tests, depending on what plugin you use. Normally, some plugins work and others do not.
Thank you!
