Hi TJ,

I was on a Twitter Tangent trying to leave you guys be for a bit. Yes, I played with that yesterday, neat, and you can put it in the footer, it seems backwards but that’s fine. Question still!! : ) My question is do I need the buddyboss-child with the Mobile theme and vice versa. This is an easy one. I just don’t know the answer, I didn’t make the software (duh). Is it one installed or the other or both. do you lose with the Mobile theme? Do you get mobile with buddyboss-child just as you do with just mobile only? I don’t get it.

So then why did I purchase the mobile theme? I don’t need it when I have already purchased the child them buddyboss-child? Thanks

@rodonnell You need the buddyboss-child theme with the buddyboss theme. Make all your changes to the child theme because when you update the parent theme all changed are over written. The mobile only theme is completely different. (You still have mobile when using the child theme)

In fact, you only need the mobile theme IF you want to define which devices get served the mobile theme. For example, typically tablets are served the desktop theme. If you want tablets to be served the mobile theme, then you need to buy the mobile theme and use the switcher plugin.

If you do not need the mobile theme please fill out a request here: https://www.buddyboss.com/contact/

Oh o.k. I just saw that reply, very concise thank you very much. I have seen throughout here the documentation or explanation of which is needed is not clear.

That leaves the point though, Users cannot tell where the switcher is in the Footer… So the best answer is to put the switcher where, Sidebar top is the only choice right? On iOS it shows mobile default but on Android S5 it is showing up desktop default. I got the switcher working in the footer, it’s funny though when you switch to destop it goes to mobile and vice versa.. but I can live with that. I just want a big ROADSIGN THAT SAYS SWITCH TO MOBILE LIKE THIS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY TRICKS OR TIPS TO MAKE IT STAND OUT AND WHAT NOT…

THANKS PAUL. AWESOME.

@rodonnell You can add this php code to any template file to add the switcher anywhere on your site:

<?php if(get_option( 'boss_layout_switcher' ) != 'no') { ?>
                               <form id="switch-mode" name="switch-mode" method="post" action="">
                                    <input type="submit" value="View as Desktop" tabindex="1" id="switch_submit" name="submit" />
                                    <input type="hidden" id="switch_mode" name="switch_mode" value="desktop" />
                                    <?php wp_nonce_field( 'switcher_action', 'switcher_nonce_field' ); ?>
                                </form>
                            <?php } ?>

You may want to add a class to the form so you can style it separately from the original. Then add your own CSS via custom.css
