    Hi,

    I have the home page using front-page.php which works fine on a desktop.

    For mobile devices I wish the home page to use the default page which works on mobiles.

    Is there a function in WP that would achieve that?

    Thanks in advance

    I’m not sure I fully understand exactly what you’re trying to do, but seems like you might be able to utilize WP is mobile, however I recommend reviewing the notes in this link to make sure it’ll work as you want or look into some of the further recommendations/notes there as well.

    I came up with a terrible hack for which I hold my head in shame.

    I created a duplicate of my theme, renamed it theme-mobile, removed the front=page.php template I did not want used, and uploaded the “new” theme to the themes folder. I installed the Multi device Switcher plugin and used that to automatically select the correct theme folder based on the device that is being used to view the site

    It works
