FAQ

Installation Instructions

To install this plugin:

1. Upload the mobble folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
3. You can now use <?php is_mobile(); is_tablet(); // etc ?> functions in your themes/templates
4. If you want you can also disable the device specific body classes in the WordPress Admin->Settings->mobble setting section

What functions are available?

The most useful ones are:

<?php
is_handheld(); // any handheld device (phone, tablet, Nintendo)
is_mobile(); // any type of mobile phone (iPhone, Android, etc)
is_tablet(); // any tablet device
is_ios(); // any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, iPod)
?>

You can also use:

<?php
is_iphone();
is_ipad();
is_ipod();
is_android();
is_blackberry();
is_opera_mobile();
is_symbian();
is_kindle();
is_windows_mobile();
is_motorola();
is_samsung();
is_samsung_tablet();
is_sony_ericsson();
is_nintendo();
?>

Inspecting Mobile_Detect.php will also reveal some other useful tools.

Do you have any examples?

Yup. This first example disables the sidebar for mobile/phone devices:

<?php
if (!is_mobile()) {
    get_sidebar();
}
?>

This second example loads a specific stylesheet for Apple devices (iPhone, iPod and iPad):

<?php
if (is_ios()) {
    wp_enqueue_style('ios', get_template_directory_uri() . '/ios.css');
}
?>

Caching

Please note that in certain setups caching will cause undesired behaviour. If your cache is set too aggressively PHP will be skipped and the device detection will not work.
