  • Hello, apologies in advance if this isn’t the proper place to post this question.

    I’m a programmer for a site which has two different versions of their site (Obviously all using the same database) m.mysite.com(mobile) and mysite.com.

    The only part of the site that uses wordpress is our “news” section (mysite.com/news), and we would like to mobilize our news section using the m.mysite.com/news

    I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how to handle this. Do I..

    1. Copy the wordpress installation and place it in the mobile directory of our site (which I’m assuming would run in to issues because it would use the same database as the desktop version)

    2. DO NOT copy the installation and use the current one, and just create a separate theme for mobile versions (but then what would be the process in detecting if its mobile, switching themes and changing the url to m.mysite.com/news??)

    Thank you to whoever takes the time to help me out here, it’s always appreciated. I’m just looking for some suggestions to how this is typically approached!

  • The WPtouch plugin for WP is made specifically to create a mobile version, maybe it could be set to use a custom landing page like your news section with the other URLs set to ignore in the core settings of the plugin.
