Device Theme Switcher

Set a theme for handhelds and a theme for tablets

Device Theme Switcher creates a new page in your WordPress Admin; 'Appearance > Device Themes', where you can set one theme for handheld devices, and another theme for tablet devices. Normal computer visitors are given the active theme set in 'Appearance > Themes'.

Device Theme Switcher is especially helpful if you're a theme developer and want to provide a consitant, but different look on these popular device sizes. WordPress child themes are supported, so you can easily create 3 versions of your theme, with just a few overrides. For instance, you may want your page-home.php to show a large slideshow to normal computer visitors, to pull a smaller set of thumbnail images for handheld visitors, and also load a touch-friendly jQuery script for tablet users to navigate your image gallery - so you're not just stuck with @media queries.

'Handheld' devices include Android, BlackBerry, iPod, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and other various 'hand held' smart phones. 'Tablet' devices include everything from iPad and Android tablets to the Kindle Fire and other large-screen hand helds.
