Obox Mobile: Introduction

The below documentation is for Obox Mobile Classic. If you have recently purchased Obox Mobile as currently seen on our site, please select Obox Mobile 2.

The Obox Mobile plugin is a mobile “theme” for WordPress which transforms your content into a mobile-friendly format for older devices.

How it Works

Obox Mobile completely replaces your main WordPress theme when your website is viewed from a detected device such as an iPhone or Blackberry. It displays your posts, featured images and page content using the mobile theme you select, formatting the content to be mobile friendly and responsive to the screen size.

Obox Mobile comes with support for WooThemes images and your own custom fields for pulling in your images or video if you are not using an Obox Theme or the default WordPress featured thumbnails.

Page Templates

If your theme uses special page templates for formatting your content, those page templates will be ignored by Obox Mobile. Because the plugin replaces your theme and uses its own mobile theme, features specific to your main theme cannot be used at the same time. This is a limitation of WordPress.

If you are using an Obox theme as your main theme, or are comfortable with CSS and PHP, you can copy your theme’s page templates (such as archives.php, portfolio.php, etc) into the obox-mobile\themes\default folder and add supporting styles for the mobile format to the theme’s style.css. We recommend creating a full child theme by creating a new theme folder and using the contents of one of the other themes as a starting point. View more about child themes at the WordPress codex.

Plugin Compatibility

While we make every effort to ensure optimal compatibility between Obox Mobile and plugins or themes that follow WordPress development guidelines, some plugins or themes may load scripts that Obox Mobile cannot disable, therefore conflicts may still occur. Under the Obox Mobile settings you can enable or disable support for specific plugins under the Plugin Compatibility tab. In most cases, you should only need to enable plugins that control the display of content on your site, such as NextGen Gallery, content sliders, or shortcodes. Widgets and plugins that are primarily for display in sidebars or the admin area do not need to be enabled.

Keep mobile users in mind when enabling plugins for the mobile site. Anything that may slow loading, or that uses mobile-unfriendly features such as modal windows, lightboxes or other javascript effects may hinder your sites performance or usability on mobile devices.
