MobileESP for WordPress

Description

This WordPress plugin will detect mobile devices and redirect the user to the mobile-optimized site of your choice (such as subdomain or subfolder).

This plugin uses the MobileESP by Anthony Hand as its detection script (under Apache License 2.0) and is based on Mobile Device Detect by Matthias Reuter

FAQ

I activated the plugin and nothing happened

This plugin will only redirect users who are viewing the site on a mobile device. You also must first update the redirect URL within the plugin settings.

How can I give my users the option to view the full site

If you want to use this feature set a link to “example.com/?view_full_site=true” anywhere on your mobile site. The cookie will expire after one day.
You may change the expiration time by changing the time()+86400 on line 43.

What about back to the mobile site?

This can be done one of two ways, you can either link to the mobile site directly (m.example.com) or you can clear the cookie by linking to “example.com/?view_full_site=false” anywhere on your WordPress install.
