Title: Mobile View and Language Last modified: November 24, 2016 --- # Mobile View and Language * [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/) * Hello, * I have launched my site and now noticed that the mobile phones just show the desktop view and that it keeps coming up with a translate to English bar at the top although the site is written in English. * The address is: [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com) * (although wordpress is actually installed at [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/) because I don’t know how to move the database I’ve just put a redirect in the index.htm so when people go to [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com) it takes them to [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress) just in case this has anything to do with it) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8477840) * Hello [@mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * I couldn’t help but notice that you have “google translate wordpress plugin” installed. Maybe that’s what’s causing the “translate to English” bar at the top of the screen? * Edit: Also, please note that your whole website is being loaded in a frame ( might be the same plugin that’s causing that) - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). * [ThemeSumo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themesumo/) * (@themesumo) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8477842) * How are you adding this Google Translate service to your site? If you remove it does the theme respond as it should on mobile devices again? * Thread Starter [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8477878) * Literally only started today. It’s to do with the redirect. If I navigate to hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/ I get the mobile view and no translate bar at the top. * Looks like I’m going to have to learn how to move it. I hoped it would be simple just moving folder but it doesn’t seem so. * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8477947) * [@mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * when you go to hillmortonprimaryschool.com the website loads in a frame (url stays the same no matter what you do on the website or what pages you visit – because you’re navigating inside the frame) * When you go to hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress/ directly, you’re loading the actual page and not a frame. * I would check on what’s causing the framing first. - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). * Thread Starter [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8477986) * Thanks, definitely the redirect I know. I just need to figure out how to move the whole thing from hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress to hillmortonprimaryschool. com/ * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478123) * [@mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * This is a general starting point for moving wordpress to another folder [Moving WordPress to Root](http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/329-move-folders) * I have never encountered a redirect that causes framing. How did you add the redirect? Through a plugin? - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). * Thread Starter [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478264) * Just set my index.htm to this: * Hillmorton Primary School * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478305) * [@mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * In a nutshell this asks your visitors browsers to open a border-less window within your website that is as big as the device screen is. And then load [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress) in it. * You end up with [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com) being still open (although it’s “empty”) and a window – with [http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress](http://www.hillmortonprimaryschool.com/wordpress) loaded in it – taking 100% of the screen size in front of it. * Frames are not 100% mobile friendly and the are know to break scripts sometimes. * The issue of your original post is not caused by the redirect, it is caused by what I mentioned above. * I am inclined to believe that if you revert the changes and set up the redirect properly, you won’t need to move you wordpress (unless you want to do it anyways) * Thread Starter [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478336) * How do I redirect it properly? Sorry if this is a simple question 🙁 * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478358) * No apologies needed [@mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * This is a comprehensive guide and it should be enough to get you through the process * [Creating Redirects in WordPress](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [mrmckee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmckee/) * (@mrmckee) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mobile-view-and-language/#post-8478397) * Thank you, I’ll give that a try!
