Hey guys.
I’m running a localhost installation of Newspaper 8.7. I have installed the Mobile theme plugin.
Can you please explain in simple terms where can I preview the mobile version of my website and how can I edit it?
I have read pretty much every tutorial here on the Mobile theme plugin and I’m sorry to say that I’m still none the wiser.
Many thanks,
Nikola
You need a mobile browser to view what the mobile theme looks like. I have yet to be able to find out a way of previewing it at all. I just enabled the mobile theme, turned it on in the settings, and then started using it. You can also see it in action using development mode of Chrome and selecting the “mobile” icon which will make Chrome appear to be a mobile device to WordPress. That’s useful for debugging and looking at css. You have to reload your web page after you turn the Chrome page into a mobile setting.
Also, you have to remember to put custom css code for the mobile theme into the special mobile theme custom css code area, not in the regular custom code area.
Hi,
Please check this topic about How can I view the mobile version of a webpage in Google Chrome for Desktop?
If you are no using the mobile theme plugin you can use flex blocks and you can chose the layout for each device ( desktop, iPad, mobile ).
The mobile theme is a plugin that provide you a better speed then responsive version of theme, but in order to achieve that speed you’ll need to create a new content for pages because in the most of cases those were made with builders ( tagDiv Composer, WPBakery ) and you need to use only the mobile editor ( you need to set the content for pages in mobile editor and this content will be display on mobile theme)
