    I’m trying to use wp_is_mobile within The Events Calendar, when viewed on a mobile device, to display the list view for events, rather than the default month view, since I know it will render better.

    Within the views/month.php file I’m using wp_is_mobile, and it seems to work in the sense that, on mobiles, it shows the list view, but the content of the list is for December 2014 events.

    Any idea what is happening? Is there a way I can implement this so it will work, perhaps in the default template? Or what would work better?

    Anyone have a chance to look at this? Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Typically we only visit this forum once each week on Wednesdays, but at busy times we may not be able to do even that or may not have time to respond to each thread. Please understand we are very busy, have lots of customers to support and that both the support we offer here – and the plugin we are supporting – is free!

    Well, I’m afraid it’s really rather difficult to say – all we know is you are using that one particular function somewhere in the template and that just isn’t enough to go on.

    It’s awesome to see neat ideas like this being put together but, ultimately, we need to leave it to you to iron out the details. We do have the following resources which may be helpful, though:

    Actually, the bummer too is that I’m working on this for someone who bought the Pro licence, but he’s not willing to give me his login to post in the Pro forums.

    That said, I can appreciate this is kind of outside the normal bounds, but ECP needs to start looking at responsive or mobile formats and I’d say fast.

    Also, I’ve said this before on Twitter, and someone on your account said they wanted to contact me for feedback, but you could learn a lot from Events Manager Pro (although they could also learn from you in other ways). I also am not a fan of your guides or tutorials. They are frankly next to useless.

    Thanks though for reaching back out. We solved this another way with wp_is_mobile – we’ve set mobile devices to forward to the list view of the calendar page. In my dream world though, this would be integrated on the back end and you could pick the style to show for mobile versus desktop.

    We do have something in the works here, so please do stay tuned for updates.

    We’re definitely sorry to hear that – though we’re not blind to the fact that there are shortcomings and if you did have time to talk to us (possibly it was Rob who reached out to you) we’d certainly appreciate further feedback on that end – do note though that a large number of the team are unavailable this week.

    I’m glad you found a solution to tide you over and thanks for using The Events Calendar: your support and feedback are very much valued by us.

    Could you share your solution please GATEKeeper as I’m in the exact same position. I’m sure it would help a lot of people!

    Thank you.

    Hi aledmann,

    Though we can’t help you specifically with this problem, I just wanted to draw your attention to the following helpful resources which may be useful if you want to build a customization here:

    Thanks!

    Aledmann, I used the following to just point mobile users to the list view:

    <?php if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
    	wp_redirect( 'http://URLTOLISTVIEW', 302 ); exit;
    } else {
    	tribe_get_template_part('month/content');
    } ?>
