This plug in will redirect mobile browsers (such as Palm and Blackberries) to your dedicated mobile web site. This allows you to publish one URL for your web site, but if it is accessed by a mobile browser, the user will be redirected to a web site that you have formatted for easier reading an accessing for a mobile browser.
This plug in can also be used to redirect desktop web browsers to your primary web site if they directly access the mobile web site.
Version v4.9+ required
Make sure that you are running v4.9 or later.
This add-on will not function properly on any version earilier than v4.9.
How to find out what version you're running
Log-in to manage your website with Pro Edition (i.e. http://example.com/sohoadmin)
and look in the bottom right corner of the admin tool window (ie. in the footer).
How to update your version
If you're running v4.8.x or earlier than you've got to first update to v4.9 via Fantastico.
Once you're on v4.9 you can update to the latest build using v4.9's built-in Software Updates feature (Main Menu > Webmaster > Software Updates).
To answer:
Does this redirect all mobile phones?:
Yes, it will redirect all mobile phones, however check for updates as new versions of mobile web browsers and mobile phones come out we will be updating the plugin.
What is it based on (will it work for iphone?):
A web browser sends information about who it is (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) and its version when it connects to a web site. This tells us what type of web browser it is. Yes it will work for the iPhone.
Is there a method to override the setting if I have a link on the mobile site to the main site?:
No. It will always redirect the mobile browser back to the mobile site
Thanks for the questions!
