# “Cache Mobile” set to OFF problem

 * I have responsive websites and “Cache Mobile” option set to OFF.
 * My website has a sidebar only visible for Desktop users, not for Mobile users.
   
   When I run Crawler, Desktop version with sidebar is downloaded, but for mobile
   users my theme doesn’t show the sidebar and everything is fine here.
 * The problem arises when someone from mobile readers posts a comment, then the
   cache of this post is cleared and only mobile version without sidebar appears(
   for Desktop users also).
 * In the case of “Cache Mobile option set to OFF”, shouldn’t the plugin generate
   the full Desktop version with sidebar like the Crawler does?

 * even your site is responsive , but if you have single component that is not responsive,
   you will need to have cache mobile enabled
 * yes , but with that option off , it will generate based on who-visit-it-first,
   like in your case, if mobile user visited it first right after purge , it will
   cache the “mobile-view” and then apply to following visitors regardless desktop
   or mobile
 * with cache mobile option on , it will create 2 caches copy , one for desktop ,
   one for mobile , based on user’s user agent

 * Yes, I noticed that it works this way, but wouldn’t it be worthwhile for these
   options to be consistent with each other?
 * If we have the “Cache Mobile” option set to OFF and the Crawler downloads the
   Desktop version, why does the plugin create a mobile version if a mobile user
   comes in first, instead of just creating one Desktop version like Crawler does?
 * I understand the two separate versions of Desktop and Mobile, with the “Cache
   Mobile” option set to ON, but with “Cache Mobile” option set to OFF I do not 
   see consistency here 🙂

 * Please understand regardless of whether or not your mobile site is responsive,
   you must enable “Cache Mobile” if your mobile site has mobile-specific content.
   This is because the crawler only visits your site as a desktop user and the cache
   engine only knows to create and serve only one version of the page, be it of 
   the desktop or of the mobile, UNLESS “Cache Mobile” is enabled. Hope it’s all
   clear now.
