Biggest opportunity: Swap “mobile theme” for “bookmarking”. “mobile theme” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “bookmarking” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 20K of 451.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.

What to do about it
- Swap “mobile theme” for “bookmarking”. “mobile theme” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “bookmarking” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “mobile browser detect”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Hello, thank you, to make a great plugin and quick fix the plugin for the incompabillity with WP 4.0.1

But it doesn’t seem to work with WordPress version 6.4.1
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tinkerjet3.5y ago
This is a plugin I’ve absolutely loved for years, however, it doesn’t appear to have much of a developer presence anymore. I reported a non-critical issue (non-critical as in it didn’t affect the functionality of the plugin, but still flooded my server error logs regardless) and a year later, there is not even a reply. I’d include a link to my bug report, but reviews don’t allow links, so if you want proof, just pop into the support forum for this plugin and Ctrl-F my username. So why five stars? Because it still did everything that it said it did for the entire time I used it. Anything less than 5 stars would fail to capture how wonderfully useful this plugin has been to me the entire time I’ve used it. Ultimately, I’m grateful to have had it on my sites, but I can’t use it anymore because I need to be able to navigate my error logs without it being flooded from this single plugin many times per day.

I tried it on Firefox for mobile, It works fine, on chrome browser doesn’t work unfortunately.

Simply that. It bugged my main CSS without replacing it with the selected theme. No error messages, no hint as how to solve that.

The latest version of this plugin doesn’t work with 4.8 WordPress and 4.7.5 also (maybe even further back). It will still show the website on the desktop version but any smaller/responsive size returns a white screen.

Sounds like an important plugin, but some fix is needed to work with WP 4.7.1. Caused WSOD on my website and I had to deactivated it.

As soon as I installed it my mobile view of the website died and con only see “Not Found”, error 404. Tried disabling the plugin and eliminating it and the problem persisted. Now I have to search how to fix it…
