 * Hi –
 * 1. i have a weird problem and after almost one hour i think i figured out why.
   Im using multiple plugins which names are beginning with “woocommerce…”. In this
   case the checkobxes does not apply correct – see youreself [https://imgur.com/a/Cpg7ryL](https://imgur.com/a/Cpg7ryL)
 * I saw this issue on the mobile setting page.
 * 2. Regarding mobile settings. Default all plugins are checked. Does this mean
   the plugins run in mobile devices regardless what i set in the other settings?
   If yes this makes no sense… And im also not a fan of detecting mobile devices
   with is_mobile.
 * thx

 * Hi [@evalast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalast/)
    1) why do you say
   it’s a problem? Why should you activate the Woocommerce add-ons if you disable
   WooCommerce? This is to avoid issues that may arise when the WooComemrce add-
   ons use the functions that are defined in WooCommerce without first checking 
   their existence. Do you need those add-ons when WooCommerce is not active?
 * 2) No if they are all active in mobile, they will not run all in mobile. Only
   those ones that you deactivate will be added to the set of deactivated plugins
   on mobile.
    For example, on page Sample-page you deactivate plugins A, B, and
   C. If on mobile you deactivate B and D, when you load the page on mobile you 
   will have the plugins A, B, C, and D deactivated. On the desktop, you will have
   A, B, and C deactivated. Let me know if it’s clear. I’m also not a very big fan
   of wp_is_mobile. I rarely use that setting because you need a different cache
   for mobile and desktop, but if you want completely disable some plugin on mobile(
   not only the assets), you need to detect the mobile device on the server. And
   I know many users need it.

 * When i click the button to activate all plugins in the mobile screen and save
   and then refresh the page a few plugins are still not activated. Its just weird.
   Maybe it has something to do with the error in my console from the othe questoin
   i asked…
 * atm i was able to get all checkboxes checked and thats the last time i visit 
   the mobile screen 🙂 to your second point i think i got it. thx
 * Maybe you consider a options screen where we can deactivate some parts of the
   plugin to hide it in the menu. If i recall right ATUM inventory plugin has such
   a option. THX a lot

 * Hi [@evalast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evalast/)
 * no, this issue has nothing to do with the other question, it was a bug of FDP.
   Now, this is fixed with the new version 1.8.9.0.5. Many thanks for discovering
   this bug.

 * You really don’t like that setting 🙂
 * If you want you can hide it by adding this code in the functions.php of your 
   child theme, or in a functional plugin:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'eos_dp_before_tabs',function(){
       	?><style>#fdp-menu-mobile{display:none}</style><?php
       } );
       ```
   
 * If you have no child theme and no functional plugin, you can quickly create a
   functional plugin as shown here: [https://freesoul-deactivate-plugins.com/create-custom-plugin/](https://freesoul-deactivate-plugins.com/create-custom-plugin/).
   The code above has no impact on the performance, so if it disturbs you it would
   be not a bad idea.
