Hello guys,

I do know know how to get around this. I have a blog wordpress site, which is responsive. But I want to make an iPhone HTML5 App which would be slightly more app-like. So I need to use different theme for that. But I want to keep the responsive website for mobiles and I want to keep content comments and logins basicly.

Any way around it? Thanks

I’m sure there are many ways to do that, but if you want to use a plugin, maybe

OR

You could develop your iOS app to consume the blog content through RSS, which would probably be more flexible to build out your app in the future.

If you really wanted to serve up the HTML App via a theme, you could also add a querystring variable with each request that the theme parses and determines to show an iOS-specific stylesheet if that parameter is set. You’ll probably want to check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API to learn how to register and retrieve a query var.
