Hot to recognize that your site is viewed on mobile device.

I have a site for mij store www.degoudwaag.nl. I am using WordPress and I now want to go mobile with my site. My first question is (and sorry if it has been asked before, haven't found it): how can you get Wordpress to recognize that my site is viewed on a mobile device and how to redirect to i.e. an "m.address.com" address in that case?

Many thanks!

If you download this file and put it into your site and then put this into your index.php file:

It needs to end with .php or else the script won't work

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';

$detect = new Mobile_Detect();

if($detect->isMobile() or $detect->isTablet()){

header("Location: http://m.yoursite.com/");

}

The script is not hard or complicated, if you reed it you would probably understand it clearly.

This will redirect any mobiles or tablets to your mobile version of your site.

More info on how you can use the Mobile_Detect.php file can be found here.

Important notes:

The file needs to be unzipped, and the content is going into your server.

The demo.php file is not necessary, only the Mobile_Detect.php file.

The Mobile_Detect.php file needs to be in the same directory as the file you put the script into.

Wordpress has several plugins that provide this functionality. Here is one of them:

Thanks for your replies guys! Eventually I decided to go with dudamobile.com. It costs a few bucks a year but is easy to implement and yield beautiful results. I am now considering doing that for my other website as well.
