WPMobile Apps

Description

WPMobile Apps lets you create a mobile experience with built-in Apps and Mobile themes.

The plugin comes with a theme named Mobilissimo that is exclusively for mobile devices
(i.e. tablets, smartphones).

The plugin comes with four Apps to ease the access to information for your
mobile visitors, they are located in a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. These Apps are:

• Call us: A simple app with your mobile phone number ready to call.
• Opening hours: Quickly inform your visitors of your working days and hours.
• Find us: Display your address with an interactive Google Map to quickly reach you.
• Contact us: A simple form to let your users quickly contact you by e-mail.

The use of the mobile theme is optional, you might want to use your current theme that supports
mobile (e.g. responsive theme). In such case you just need to choose while in Theme Activation section.

The Apps can also be used in Desktop mode (e.g. laptops, PCs), there is an option for it. In the case
you only want the mobile theme, it is also possible to disable the Apps.

Known Issues

• The plugin does not work together with qTranslate from WordPress 3.9 since that plugin has not been
  updated. You can use mqTranslate instead which is a fork of that plugin compatible up to WordPress 3.9.2.
• WPMobile Apps support localization. By default, it will set the default settings in your WordPress local
  (e.g. en_US). If you use a multi-lingual site with a plugin (such as mqTranslate) you have to enter
  the corresponding text in the App settings. For example, for a multi-lingual label for the Contact us app,
  it would be: Contact usContactez-nous. Your plugin will display the
  correct language on your website.

   /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in the the WordPress administration.
3. Choose the theme to use for mobile devices (tablet, handheld) in the ‘Theme Activation’ submenu of the
   plugin (below Settings).

   also for Desktop.

** IMPORTANT **

To test the Apps and the mobile theme in a desktop browser (e.g. Chrome), you can append ?theme=tablet or
?theme=handheld to the URL of your site. For example, if you are running your site on localhost, it would
be https://localhost/?theme=tablet. To switch back to your current theme, reset it by using ?theme=active to
clean the cookie.
