What just happened?

Using a theme switcher plugin (WordPress Mobile Pack), we configured our site so that people visiting it on desktop PCs will see the existing theme, while mobile visitors will see our configured version of the Ari theme. We did this using one plugin and two themes, with no coding required.

So, how does it look? Interestingly, it doesn’t look quite the same as when we had Ari as our only theme. The widgets are above the content and we’ve lost the problem with text wrapping around the images. I don’t think the images look quite right when left-aligned like that, but we could always change that with a media query and some tweaks to our CSS (which we’ll learn about in the next two chapters).

All in all, this is a solution with which we don’t have to sacrifice our existing theme and it also gives us a mobile theme, which I think is far superior to those provided by the mobile plugins, with less than half an hour’s work and no coding. That’s what I call a result!
