Can I use this to switch link URLs

    Can I use this to change the URL in a link to a different URL based on whether the visitor to my site is using a mobile vs. regular browser? The two different URLs would go to an external page/listing of products. That external site I have no control over, and it uses two different addresses for its mobile or desktop sites.

    You can use mobble for this (providing your site/host is not using a static cache)… Something along the lines of:

    <?php if (is_mobile()) { ?>
<a href="https://linkmobile.com">Mobile</a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="https://linkdesktop.com">Desktop</a>
<?php } ?>

    Will do what you are after.

    Thank you. I just ended up putting one link in the [device][/device] tags and the other in the [notdevice][/notdevice] tags.

    In a somewhat related issue, do you know how to implement a similar fix in the built-in WP menus?

    You would use similar code to the above in your theme where the menus are output:

    <?php if (is_mobile()) { ?>
   <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Mobile Nav' )); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
   <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Desktop Nav' )); ?>
<?php } ?>
