    I want to check to see what browser platform is being used in html and then startup wordpress with a specific theme depending on what i see as the browser platform. An example is… i want to check for an iphone platform and then use a specific theme or otherwise use the sites normal theme. I have researched as best as i can and find no global parameter i can send to wordpress to assign a theme. Is there one or a better way to do this? Thanks

    There is no global parameter. You may have to do some work coding wise to get what you want exactly.

    Take a look at WordPress Mobile Edition. As long as you follow the instructions (copy the theme that it comes with to the theme directory) this will work for mobile phones.

    The code detects the browser user agent and uses the mobile theme as needed. Regular browsers get the normal theme that your blog is setup for.

    Thanks for the reply. I will research your note. I am not afraid of coding…:) just thought it would have already been done 🙂 Thanks again.
