Cell phone key pad disappears before typing can be done

  • When someone tries to use any form on my site with an Android phone, the keypad appears for a split second then disappears before you can put the cursor in the field.

    Any form: log in, Membership 2, contact form, etc.

    Theme: Atahualpa – I understand this theme is not going to be updated any more, but I don’t have one to replace it yet.

    Most current WordPress version.

    Any ideas on how to fix this until I can find a suitable theme? I really don’t want to lose my theme, and hoping it’s just a quick fix.

    – Are you using a plugin for this feature? Yes? What’s the full name of this plugin? Where did you download it from?

    – Or, is this a feature of your active Atahualpa theme?

    If its a feature of your Atahualpa theme, this theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

    I use the Frontier theme which looks a little like what you have there.

    I’m kind of thinking maybe it’s the mobile version of your site or something causing your ‘keypad’ issues but I’m not very good at Mobile… I have a Tracfone flip phone myself and can’t imagine doing much via a cell phone.

    I even have an Android Notepad with a full keyboard and mouse attached. I just don’t ‘get’ mobile at all.

    But spend some time with Frontier and see if that might suit your purposes. Don’t forget that some resources of your old theme can be duplicated on a newer theme and images such as your header image can be moved as needed.

    Consider a child theme also if you need to customize the code as Frontier and many other popular themes get updates still… you don’t want to clobber your changes during an update.

    T P, I listed what I have. Membership 2 (downloaded from WPMU DEV site. Yes, I know the theme is outdated and have talked with the developer about it. I’m not ready to give up the theme yet as I’m hoping someone will take over the theme, or he will switch it over to a paid subscription.

    I’m looking for support that someone may know what to do to make it work on an Android.

    JNash, I hope that theme is as nice behind the scenes as Atahualpa, because you’re right, it looks a lot like it.

    Thank you for the link. I’ll try it out.

    Frontier looks pretty good but it’s nothing like Atahualpa. I really hope someone picks up that project and brings it up to date.

    I suppose if I play around with Frontier more, I might like it better but I’ve used Atahualpa for countless years. I can’t imagine having to replace it.
