I am a newbie to wordpress development and somehow managed to put together a website - http://www.checkgaadi.com.
However, I am simply not able to get this to work properly on a mobile device.
Have tried several plugins (e.g., WPtouch, WP Mobile detector etc.) which are supposed to help. Here when I tried WPtouch for the first time it went to a "mobile site" and was more or less responsive. There was also a button to switch to desktop site. I clicked this button and now I only see a distorted version of desktop website on mobile, but now I don't find the button to go back to mobile theme. I have tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling, deleting the "wptouch-data" folder etc hoping to clear the cache and several other tricks but nothing seems to bring back that button to switch between desktop and mobile themes.
Anyone who has some experience with WPtouch (or any other simple plugin you recommend) may perhaps tell me how to get that "switch mobile<->desktop" button back? For the moment I have disabled WPtouch on the website so you may not see it.
As a second option, it seems to me that only certain parts of the landing page need fixing (e.g., some CSS tinkering with the topmost part) and mostly it should be okay without really getting into the WPtouch stuff. Could someone please give me guidance with the CSS modifications needed to fix the issue?
Thanks so much.
Just click the "core settings" of Wptouch. Then you will see the general settings. There is a "Desktop / Mobile Switching" option under the "Landing page" option. Put a tick into "Show switch link in mobile view" box. I hope it will work for you

For week's now I can't figure out why my site is designed to be responsive, is everything right and laptop works perfectly even when put in a small size and then step into my mobile and is not responsive.
I've tried uninstalling the plugins, I changed the theme and not find out why.
Can you held me?
The website is: moinhodocomandante.com
Thanks for your atention,
Catarina
Unless you are intentionally trying to send your mobile users to dubious porn websites, my guess is that your site has been compromised. Lucky for you it has been poorly compromised and it is only breaking the page instead of displaying the ads/redirects.
To verify this, put your browser in developer mode and switch to mobile emulation and look at the network tab.
Without knowledge of your limitation, I cannot recommend any measures for cleaning up the compromise, but consider disabling every plugin and upgrading WP. It looks like every single call to a CSS file by your plugins gets redirected to something nefarious.
Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I've been tasked with giving a mobile template an overhaul on a site that uses BigCommerce.
Does anyone know of an IDE or a windows based browser that would allow me to preview the changes that I make on the fly, preferably via Dreamweaver CC but this isn't a necessity.
Basically I want to completely revamp the homepage so that instead of having a mundane and dreary menu that take up the entire page, I'd like to change it so that I have responsive windows 8 like tiles that one could use to navigate the site.
Since BigCommerce is a paid service you are limited to what is available. You cannot simply download the site and run it on your localhost. I worked on one of those sites before, the best work around I found what to edit in google chrome's inspect element and console "F12" - this way you can make changes directly to the site to see how they render. But keep in mind, F12 is after chrome builds the page and will not match the actual code all the time.
how do i go about doing it?
there is one solution that i thought would work..
my theme allows me to turn of responsive design..
i copied the whole theme folder and renamed it to theme-mobile..
so now i have 2 exact same themes but with different names..i go in theme settings and turn of responsive design on one of the themes..
then i tried to use this plugin to switch theme when someone is using mobile device
but the problem is even if i have two themes they share the settings..if i turn off responsiveness on one theme..the other one gets turned off too..
any help would be really appreciated..
Here is a plugin that will get you half way there.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-opt-out/
It does everything in the front end so you can do it all with css.
There is a javascript fix using JQuery.
here is some pseudo code
LINK.onclick .find "<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">" .replace ""
essentially you javascript will listen for the event of a mouse click on your view desktop link it will search the DOM for some html that should be something like which is what make the site responsive on a mobile (you would still need the stylesheets) upon finding that bit of html it would replace it with a blank string so the site is no long mobile responsive. (it would still appear responsive in desktop browsers as you scale them)
I would like to ask how to force desktop behaviour in wordpress with mobile phones?
I have tried some plugins (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mobile-smart/, etc.) with no success.
I switched to desktop mode user agent on my phone with no success.
Wordpress site still shows in some mobile mode. Layout is different and some elements are even missing.
Any ideas? Thank you.
See, it all depends upon two things, first the theme you choose and then on mobile browser.
Let's discuss theme first, if its responsive theme, then it surely will change the layout of site and even might miss some div blocks.
And now a days most of the themes are responsive, they automatically adjust to mobile browser, even wordpress default theme twenty eleven and twelve are responsive.
Secondly, most of high end mobile browser are made to change the look of site, just to facilitate users and irritate developers (lol)
Well, i would suggest, please check it this theme responsive, if yes, make it static.
I just figured out how to do this. I found out accidentally that when you setup domain forwarding (and use masking) in GoDaddy, it will always show the desktop version of the site when you visit the domain on a phone. Now, you don't want to buy a different domain for every website you want to be "non-mobile". So, simply setup a sub-domain and forward it to your website (using masking). When you visit that subdomain on a phone, it will show the full desktop version. Hope this helps you as much as it helped me :)
I am using drupal for the first time. I have successfully developed my first drupal website to a certain extent. I have used my own custom theme for the front-end and blue marine theme for administrator. Now my client's requirement is that when he clicks on preview button before submitting the page in admin panel, he wants to see the preview in a pop-up window with the front-end's theme. Please help me with your ideas and suggestions on how to achieve this?
When you set the administration theme, leave the "Use administration theme for content editing" unchecked. This should allow content creation / previewing in the "front-end" theme.
EDIT: Assuming you are using Drupal 6.x
Have you seen this module - http://drupal.org/project/pagepreview it aims to give you what the page will look like on the front-end theme.
There are some caveats though, for instance the menu will not be correct if this is a new node
As far as I know Themeing is a complicated process in Drupal, it involves many modules and hooks, so I don't think it's an easy task for a module (maybe) to do that, or in core like Wordpress.
I'm working on getting a nice solution to this too. I won't post the code yet cos it's a work in progress, but essentially I make an ajax call to retrieve a known node and then replace the node content of that page with the content of the preview box before showing the merged page in a popup window.
If it works out alright I might make a module out of it.
This might help: https://www.computerminds.co.uk/drupal-code/making-accurate-responsive-node-preview-drupal-7
Patches the Page Preview module with some of the Responsive Theme Preview modules functionality for viewing the page at different screen sizes in the preview panel.
Page preview's caveats still apply though.
