Disable slider on mobile

  • I’d like to show the slider/carousel thing on desktop as it looks and works well there, but not on tablet/mobile as it doesn’t display well there (the arrows are very high up and it also seems to slow the page load time down).

    Is this possible?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello there.

    You would need to edit the header.php file to accomplish this.

    Changing line 67 from
    <?php if ( is_home() ) {
    to
    <?php if ( is_home() && ! wp_is_mobile() ) {
    should do the trick.

    However making this change would require having a child theme. For info on how to create and operate a child theme please have a look at this small tutorial https://www.cssigniter.com/beginners-guide-child-themes/

    Once you have the child theme up and running, copy over the header.php file and make the suggested change.

    Do not make this change on the original header.php file.

    Ah, I thought that may be the case. I’m wary of doing a child theme so will just leave it for now. Thanks anyway!

    Glad to help.

    If you decide to proceed and need assistance, let us know!
