    Hi,

    Having problems with your plugin – I can see that the mobile page & normal home page are different and are looking as expected when editing, although after trying on 4 mobile devices (cached, uncached and incognito) there is no difference. The page on mobile still keeps loading the original homepage, any ideas?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @michaeleasycount

    can you share the URL of the page?

    Can you do a test on a different page and see if it works?

    Is the homepage a static page or the page that shows the last blog posts?

    Hi Jose,

    Thanks a lot for the fast response!

    The URL is below;

    Homepage – godigitally.io

    I’ve tested two pages and I’m experiencing the same outcome.

    The homepage is a static page, no content changes.

    Hi @michaeleasycount

    you are welcome!

    Inspecting your page (F12 or right-click => Inspect Elements) I see that on desktop the page ID is 8143. On mobile, I see the ID is 20807.
    I also see a difference in the footer, on desktop you have AppStore and GooglePlay, on mobile you don’t have it. But I don’t know what differences you expect to see.

    To simplify the problem solving, can you please create a testing page just with the text “This is desktop”, and then the related mobile version with the text “This is mobile” and share the URL?

    I would like first to confirm we see the same things using a very simple content.

    Morning Jose,

    You’re actually spot on, it’s working now – perhaps it was to do with some sort of caching on my end?

    I think it was to do with the page actually not looking as the same styling expected – if you check the below, you’d see what I expect vs what I get:

    Expected:

    Result:

    Do you have any idea what may cause this Jose?

    Hi @michaeleasycount

    it looks like when you edit the page the available screen width for the page content is lower than when you see the page with your device.

    The content output depends on
    – the content itself as it is sent from the server to the browser
    – how the browser shows that content, taking into account the CSS style rules and the viewport.

    Specific Content For Mobile gives you the possibility to work only on the first point.
    If you want to change content for mobile, you create the mobile version and change the content. Then how it is displayed on mobile devices depends on CSS.

    From “DigiTally makes life easier” and below, the content of the two pictures are the same, it’s only different how they are displayed, probably due to the different available screen. Probably the block before “DigiTally makes life easier” is not included in the picture or it’s hidden by the CSS for narrower viewports.
    It looks the plugin is giving you on mobile the content you asked.

    This plugin is to have different content on mobile, not for changing layout or style with the same content.
    If for example on mobile you want the block “How Our Inventory Management System Works” before the block “DigiTally Makes Life Easier”, then this plugin is helpful. Or if e.g. you want to remove a block, or an image, instead of simply hide it, you can do it.
    These are all operation that you can’t do with simple CSS.
    To change the layout or style, you don’t need this plugin, but responsive design with CSS.
