## Description

Specific Content For Mobile allows you to create pages and posts content designed
for mobile devices.

This plugin **DOES NOT** redirect content from the desktop website: it creates brand
new mobile-specific content.

It’s perfect if in some pages you need different content for the mobile version.

The best way to have a mobile version is always a fully responsive design, but in
some cases you may need **specific content for the mobile version**.

### How to add or remove specific content for the mobile version:

 * Click on Pages in the main admin menu
 * Go with your mouse on the page you want to modify for the mobile version and 
   click on the action link “Create mobile version”, or click on the icon “+” you
   see in the devices column
 * Modify your page as you want to see it on mobile
 * Save your page mobile version

If you want to create a mobile version for your blog posts, do as explained above,
but going to the list of Posts.

On mobile devices, the plugin will load the mobile version you have created for 
that page or post.

If you create the mobile version for a page reachable at https://your-domain.com/
page-example/, and you are logged-in, you will see also https://your-domain.com/
page-example-mobile/.
 But logged-out users will not see it, and the only URL that
exists for the public is https://your-domain.com/page-example/.

The page reachable at https://your-domain.com/page-example/ will show the desktop
content on desktop devices, and the mobile content on mobile devices The URL is 
always the same.

You have **no redirections**, and the plugin just replaces the desktop content with
the related mobile version.

For more details read the [Documentation](https://specific-content-for-mobile.com/documentation/).

### Requirements

If you have a server cache plugin, be sure to set a different server cache handling
for mobile devices, in another case the mobile version of your pages could also 
be served on desktop devices.
 E.g. [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/),
[WP Fastest Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/), and [Powered Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/powered-cache/)
are caching plugins that can handle the mobile cache. Be careful if you are using
[W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) or whatever other
caching plugin that gives you the possibility to manage the mobile version, DO NOT
set up any redirection for mobile devices. If you have issues with the mobile and
desktop versions with W3 Total Cache, read [Mobile version showing in desktop view – W3 Total Cache Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-version-showing-in-desktop-view-w3-total-cache-plugin/#post-17279915)
Specific Content For Mobile **DOES NOT** redirect the mobile users. **The URL of
a page visited on mobile is exactly the same as the desktop URL.**

### Differences with AMP plugins

Specific Content For Mobile has nothing to do with AMP pages. It gives you the possibility
to show specific content for mobile, but without any redirection, and without generating
any AMP markup.
 If you want to serve AMP pages, Specific Content For Mobile is 
not for you. In that case, you may be interested in a plugin like [AMP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amp/),
or [AMP For WP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/accelerated-mobile-pages/). You consider
Specific Content For Mobile like an alternative to AMP plugins.

### Limitations of the free version

The free version supports only the mobile version of pages and posts, no custom 
post types, no archives, no terms.

#### I need advanced functionality to be integrated with this plugin.

If you need custom functionality, I offer a development service for WordPress plugin
integrations and advanced feature extensions.
 Learn more about [advanced functionality for WordPress](https://josemortellaro.com/advanced-functionality-for-wordpress/).

### Additional information

As a default, WordPress doesn’t output the blog page content before the posts loop.

Some themes do it. In this case, the blog page content output before the loop is
handled by the theme templates. The plugin will check if the theme declares support
for the blog page mobile version, if not so the blog page mobile version may take
the original desktop content.

As a default Specific Content For Mobile synchronizes the post metadata. This means
that when you save a post or page, if they have a mobile version, the same metadata
will be saved in the mobile version.
 When you save a mobile version, the mobile
version metadata will be saved also in the desktop version. If you want to change
this behavior, go to Specific Content For Mobile settings and choose “Allow mobile
versions having their own metadata”.

For the most popular SEO plugins, you can choose the metadata synchronization specifically
for that plugin.

### 󠀁[PRO Version](https://specific-content-for-mobile.com/documentation/)󠁿

#### The 󠀁[PRO version](https://specific-content-for-mobile.com/documentation/)󠁿 also allows you to:

 * Have a mobile version of all the queriable post types are supported
 * Load a different theme specifically on mobile devices
 * Unload specific plugins only on mobile devices
 * Decide if tablets should be considered as mobile devices or not so
 * Have a different navigation on mobile
 * Write specific content depending on the device
 * Have access to the premium support

### For developers

**Template for mobile**

If you need to use a different template file on mobile, copy the template file of
your theme and put it in one of these folders:

wp-content/scfm/

wp-content/themes/theme-name/scfm

For example, if your theme is “theme-name” and you want to load a different page.
php on mobile, it will be something that looks like:

wp-content/scfm/page.PHP

or

wp-content/themes/theme-name/page.php

In the case of mobile devices, Specific Content For Mobile will look for the custom
template file first in wp-content/themes/theme-name/scfm and if it doesn’t find 
it in wp-content/scfm.

**Integration with other plugins**

If you add an option for the metadata synchronization of an external plugin, you
can use the filter “eos_scfm_meta_integration_array”.

Here an example:

    ```
    add_filter( 'eos_scfm_meta_integration_array','my_custom_scfm_meta_integration',20,2 );
    //It adds an option to synchronize your plugin meta data.
    function my_custom_scfm_meta_integration( $arr,$options ){
        $slug = 'my_custom_meta';
        $arr[$slug] = array(
            'is_active' => defined( 'WPSEO_FILE' ),
            'args' => array(
                'title' => __( 'My custom meta synchronization','my-textdomain' ),
                'type' => 'select',
                'value' => isset( $options[$slug] ) ? esc_attr( $options[$slug] ) : 'synchronized',
                'options' => array(
                    'synchronized' => __( 'Synchronize desktop and mobile metadata','my-textdomain' ),
                    'separated' => __( 'Allow mobile versions having their own metadata','my-textdomain' )
                ),
            ),
            'prefix' => array( '_my_plugin' ),
            'default' => 'synchronized'
        );
        return $arr;
    }
    ```

Then you will see your custom option “My custom meta synchronization” in the main
settings page.

**Helper functions**

In your theme, you can use the following functions to give full support to the mobile
version content:

    ```
    eos_scfm_related_desktop_id( $post_id );
    ```

given the post ID, it will get the post ID of the related desktop version.

    ```
    eos_scfm_related_mobile_id( $post_id );
    ```

given the post ID, it will get the post ID of the related mobile version.

**Theme support**

To add the theme support to the blog content, you can add this line in your theme
support action hook:

    ```
    add_theme_support('specific_content_form_mobile',array( 'posts_page' => true ) );
    ```

It’s not often that I take time to write a review. But this plugin deserves one.
Although many themes claim to be responsive, in practice it mostly sucks. With this
one you can leave the responsive parts intact and change the other ones to what 
you like.

I downloaded so many plugins, and I wish I would have downloaded this one first.
I am adding my review because part of the reason I go towards plugins is the reviews.
This plugin is a godsend and is what I needed because sometimes my desktop view 
is not mobile friendly (or it’s hard to navigate) and it does exactly what it says
it does, and I really appreciate that it is free. I feel like this is an essential
because a lot of viewers are viewing on their phones these days. Its also very nice
that when you create the mobile version, the desktop version is already on the page,
so you just have to make the tweaks to make it mobile friendly. Easy to use also.

 [mwaponda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mwaponda/) December 27, 2022 7 replies

It’s either that he instructions are foggy or it really actually doesn’t work with
W3 Total Cache s claimed. Even though I change the “Minify mode” from “Auto” to “
Manual” the first served page after Purge (whether mobile or laptop) is the one 
that is served until the next purge. That claim of working with W3 Total Cache needs
to be retracted!
