# Mobile Theme Not Working

 * URL: [http://propertypak.com/](http://propertypak.com/)
    Mobile Theme is the 
   only Jetpack (Version 4.2.1) module enabled. The site is using a 2011 Child Theme.
 * I think the Mobile Theme had been working perfectly, but it’s possible that the
   last Jetpack update(s) (if memory serves, there were two rather recently) broke
   things rather than the WP update. After updating WordPress, I visited the site
   and clicked to see the mobile version. It didn’t work. I’m using Chrome’s Developer
   lools “Toggle device tool” to check it.
 * Steps I tried:
    I deactivated all other plugins (network and individual site 
   at the same time). That didn’t work. I rolled back Jetpack to whatever version
   was current on June 21. That didn’t help either. I switched Themes to 2011. Didn’t
   help. I switched to 2015. With Jetpack and Mobile Theme enabled or disabled, 
   2015 served up the same mobile version. I also optimize the database, as that
   sometimes clears up mysteries.
 * Rather than try anything further, I thought it best to give you the URL to look
   at things, as it may be something you spot right away.
 * Jetpack is network activated, and the Mobile Theme is enabled.
 * If I need to turn on the Debugger module, per [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/official-jetpack-support-resources-1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/official-jetpack-support-resources-1),
   I’m certainly willing.
 * Also, there is no site caching. I got rid of caching because of all the conflicts
   with the Mobile Theme.
 * I did tweak files /wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven/theme/pub/minileven:
   
   footer functions header style
 * However, I have not overwritten any of the Mobile Theme files currently enabled.
 * For previous Jetpack updates, I was simply overwriting those four files with 
   consistently successful outcomes.
 * There’s only so much I know about php. Creating a plugin calling a function to
   handle those four files is more than I wanted to bite off.
 * I sure wish the Jetpack Mobile Theme were able to be split off/standalone so 
   that every time Jetpack updates, the mobile theme wouldn’t.
 * Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 * I’m having a similar issue since the most recent updates. I updated to the newest
   wordpress and the newest jetpack at the same time and now the mobile theme doesn’t
   load.
 * I also would love it if the mobile theme were split off as I also modify the 
   header file and it gets re-written every time Jetpack updates.
 * The site I manage with the issue is:

 * Strange. I tried rolling back my Jetpack update to 4.1.1 and it is still not 
   loading the mobile theme. It also looks like I’m still on WordPress 4.5.3.
 * As for caching, I’m using Godaddy managed wordpress hosting, which does use caching.
   I’m assuming they didn’t change something to mess up the mobile website caching,
   but that is a possibility.
 * Now I’m not sure what is causing the problem. But no mobile theme and no option
   to switch to mobile theme at the bottom of the desktop theme.
 * Any suggestions?

 * I’m having the same issue – updated to 4.6 and the corresponding Jetpack updates
   last night, and the mobile theme isn’t working. I’ve tried turning off the mobile
   theme in Jetpack settings and turning it back on. We do use WP Super Cache with
   the Jetpack plugin enabled, but I’ve confirmed it’s correctly generating separate
   mobile cache files as before, it’s just that the desktop theme is being served
   to all browsers.
 * Have tried turning the Jetpack plugin itself off and back on; currently waiting
   for the person with the Jetpack account to log it back in.

 * Logged back into Jetpack and the issue is still happening. Double checked the
   settings in the database for the mobile theme are correct.

 * Thank you all for the reports! We’re looking into the issue at the moment, and
   will release a Jetpack update soon to address the issue.
 * You can follow our progress here:
    [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/4866](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/4866)
 * If you feel comfortable editing PHP files, you can apply the patch on your own
   site. 2 files will need to be updated:

 * That crashed my site.
 * Also, only one file shows there (as of this post).
 * Anyway, I’m relieved that it’s not just me and that the team is on it!

 * Okay, I altered the wrong file.
 * I was at wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven
 * When I altered minileven.php at wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules, it worked.
 * I’m restored.

 * into minileven.php at wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules.
 * Make a backup of minileven.php if you’re worried.
 * Or, just save [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Automattic/jetpack/4d001278bf5ed3677cb97a13a2577da93ffbaccf/modules/minileven.php](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Automattic/jetpack/4d001278bf5ed3677cb97a13a2577da93ffbaccf/modules/minileven.php)
   to your hard drive and upload it to wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules and overwrite
   the existing one, which you can name something else there if you want to be able
   to rename it back (but I don’t think you’ll need to or want to).

 * Everyone: We fixed this issue in Jetpack 4.2.2 – please update the plugin and
   let us know if you still have trouble. You may need to clear your phone’s browser
   cache and flush the cache if you’re using a caching plugin on your site.
 * I hope that helps! Marking as resolved as we fixed this bug.
