I've noticed that my site redirects to the mobile version for my iPad, which seems unnecessary. Does anyone know how to tweak a redirect script that goes by resolution to avoid that? Thanks. |

This is why it's essential to have a link on the Mobile site that allows the user to click to view the Desktop version of the site. Give the visitor a choice...

the redirection script needs to know whether or not to trigger for returning visitors - there are several methods that can be implemented to do this | |

A redirect script done correctly will redirect www.website.com when visited on a mobile device to whatever the mobile address is, but www.website.com/index.html will bring up the Desktop site on that mobile device. For instance. Feel free to visit out mobile site on your mobile device at m.hypetext.com and then scroll to the bottom and click "Classic" and it will show our Desktop site. | |

there are plenty of basic standalone re-director scripts that arent implemented properly that will cause people to get stuck in a loop... as i mentioned there are several ways of doing it, yours looks like it appends a variable to the returning url and the main site determines what to do with the returning visitor based on that variable... theres many pros and cons to how you do it bottom line it needs to be done properly to prevent getting stuck in a loop! | |

Most of redirect provided by WSO members here with their mobile site themes do redirect to mobile when ipad is used to browse. And I was demoing without knowing it for the 1st time, I was in trouble, my client said I like the regular version on ipad but would like the mobile for mobile phones. I was stuck! So please next time think of ipad before you sell any mobile themes with redirects. |

Thanks gang, its a WP site using a plugin for the redirect. It is set at less than or = 1023 but the ipad is 1024, I guess just turning it on its side causes it to use the 768 side. I'll have to play around with it or look for a device specific redirect vs just resolution.
