Problem with mobile templates on pages

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

I am having trouble with Mobile Pages after trying to update my theme from a older version. I have used the new custom header and footer functions and got them working successfully across the site on desktop. I have worked out how to create a mobile template to apply to all Category Pages, Posts and the Homepage. But I can’t work out how to apply a template to all other pages on mobile. Our site has six or seven existing Pages that we use. The new custom headers appear on the pages on desktop but don’t appear on mobile (I get an unedited version of the cloud template I imported).

The only way I can see to fix this is if I design all the pages individually with Tag Div and then import the content to separate mobile templates. As our pages were not designed with the Tag Div plugin the content won’t easily copy over so that will be a laborious process. Is there any easier way I can apply the new mobile header and footer to existing pages when on mobile without going through all this?

The testing site I have set up is at solidarity.asn.au

Hello,

If I understood correctly, you made a mobile page for the homepage, so please make sure you set it => https://www.screencast.com/t/bYroSq7x8T9, also, the header and footer are taken from the standard ones. All you have to do is edit the mobile page, and in Manager (Website Manager) you need to import or the easy way is to convert the existent header/footer like this => https://www.screencast.com/t/HrjOBNayd -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY (03:11​ – Mobile Templates & Pages)
If you don’t mean this please give me more details, screenshots.

Thank you!

Don’t worry I fixed it. The problem was that I created a separate mobile template for the homepage and edited the mobile header and footer in there assuming that that would apply globally across the site, tried to select “global” next to it but this did nothing.

I had to edit the mobile header and footer that are associated with the desktop homepage for it to apply by default across the site.
