Hi there...

I think there are two things to talk about here:

1) 'Cfmobi_*' settings are nothing to do with this plugin, but I'm guessing they're from the 'WordPress Mobile Edition'. Is it possible you have both plugins enabled at the same time? And competing with each other?

2) In the mobile admin panel (from v.1.1.1 onwards), there is a dedicated switcher settings page: http://www.thevegasgeek.com/wp-admin/themes.php - from here it should be much easier to get back to the setting you want without hacking through the raw settings.

Think of this as a big red safety button to get you out of any switching trouble.

I hope that helps!

James

Hi James,

Thank you.

1- I just doubled checked and I do not have the WordPress Mobile Edition installed or even on the domain. Strange, because the data is still their? Very strange? I corrected my review and even pointed them to “lite_detection.php” :)

2- Correct you are. I missed that. Thanks.

Continued best wishes and thanks again for a fantastic solution. :)

My payback: :)

A mobile user suggested a link to send the post URL to a freind. Inside index.php this sliver does the trick. It aint pretty but it works:

<!-- email page link tweak -->
<a href="mailto:?subject=<?php the_title();
?>&amp;body=<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Email this article link to a friend!">Email this article link to a friend</a>
<!-- END email page link tweak -->

The title could be removed I guess. HTH :)

That's cool.

Incidentally I just pushed out 1.1.3, and one thing I did was make sure the footer link always appears when you are in the admin panel (regardless of whether you have it enabled for the site as a whole or not).

Great addition James.

Here is another little sliver that I discovered by accident:

Just a copy and paste from my review:

You need to create a compliant Googlebot-Mobile site map. This will insure that Google spiders your site for Mobile Phones. Not a lot of geeks have done this and it took me some time to figure this out. Googlebot-Mobile’s full user agent is currently: Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) Finally, I had to hack “lite_detection.php” with the appropriate entry of “nokia” so Google would fall in love with my new Mobile sitemap. So far they are holding hands and the sitemap validates and the crawl is actually happening. Without this little hack, it did not work. --END

Of course, I did this more out of curiosity since I'm still not confinced that this will improve my serps.

Oh cool: mobile site SEO. Yes, we should definitely offer that as a feature.

Surprised that the Google bot wasn't getting the right content though... I'll check it out.

The only way I found to get out of the mobile admin was to disable switching from the mobile admin.... or at least that is the case if you set up a manual link to switch from your desktop site theme.

Then you have to turn switching back on from the desktop admin version.

UPDATE:
Actually, after clicking the manual link for switching, when I enable switching again, it just automatically switches my site. Now what? How do I eliminate that cookie (I'm guessing)?

Thanks James. I just checked and this is a brand new site

Webalizer Reports this Bot string:

DoCoMo/2.0 N905i(c100;TB;W24H16) (compatible; Googlebot-Mobil

Awstats reports:

Nokia Browser (PDA/Phone browser)

Obviously, neither of these stat programs would be considered Mobile Aware. :) I wish I could find a fast way to build a Google compliant Mobile sitemap inside the WP dashboard. Kinda like the Google Site Map generator Plugin for WP.
