Support for multiple WordPress menus

Two of the all-new themes in WPtouch Pro 3 include support for multiple custom WordPress menus.

In the “Simple” theme, one of your custom WordPress menus may be assigned as the “Front Page Menu”. This menu will appear as the main content of the mobile theme’s homepage. The Front Page Menu is best used as a short list of tasks that users can accomplish quickly, such as accessing your business’ location map, phone number, or hours or operation.

WordPress Plugin Compatibility

WPtouch Pro 3 includes a unique feature that allows you to disable plugins from your mobile theme. This means you can disable plugins in WPtouch Pro without affecting their functionality in your desktop theme.

Content-Specific Featured Image Slider

WPtouch Pro 3 offers a featured-image slider that may be set to highlight a mobile-specific set of content. This slider is independent of any that may be present in your desktop theme or active via a plugin. You may choose a variety of attributes for your mobile slider including choosing to display content only from a selected category or content that uses specific post or page IDs.

Previewing the Mobile Theme

When developing a website, it it helpful to view your mobile theme as you work. WPtouch Pro 3 offers ways to preview your mobile theme from your desktop browser when using Safari or Chrome. The “Preview Theme” tool at the bottom of the WPtouch Pro admin panel opens a smartphone-sized window in your desktop browser that allows you to preview how your mobile theme will look on a mobile device.
