Writting this to let you know; the Jetpack plugin, which is one of the most important add-ons for wordpress sites to work, is going to cease support for mobile in march. Since i was using it to fix my website’s layout for mobile, that means my site will be unsupported for mobile viewing. Their excuse is that “it’s 2020, so surely all themes are already prepared fo mobile”. Well think again you son of a bitch, cause i have to use Comic easel to be able to publish my webcomic, and that’s a theme done by, like, one person with no other features than being able to publish comic, and it surely don’t have mobile support.
So i’ve wasted the entire day trying to find a way to prepare my site for mobile, to no avail. Every single plugin i’ve tried fucks up the layout way more than simply doing nothing, and i’ve tried about a dozen. So right now the site is unsupported for mobile, and there’s no hint that it will be in the future.
This surely means i’m going to lose a ton of readers who watch my site with mobile, and i can’t think of a way to stop it. The site is not “impossible” to read, it just appears as a desktop site and you have to zoom out to see the image entirely. And then zoom in if you want to click in the menu cause it will show too small. Maybe for people who just want to see the latest page or one drawing it will not be an issue. But makes the site a complete pain in the ass to navigate, and reading the entire comic in mobile is just a no no.
Fucking wordpress, i hate the thing with a passion.
It’s not too hard to make it mobile compliant. You’re running the site so i guess you have access to a file with .css extension right? Like a file named “style.css”?
If you do I can write up some simple lines of code to paste in there.
Yeah i have. If you can i would be grateful, but probably something will go to shit and it will be a nightmare to fix XD.
I think the problem, for what i’ve seen trying plugins, is that the way the webcomics theme uses the Main page is different. The main image is not the Last post or Last drawing, it’s the last comic page, which goes into a different category. I think the mobile plugins can’t get their heads around that cause most of them don’t show the comic page, and those who do, do it in a completely deformed way.
It should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/jb0CksD
This will apply to all pages of your website for users that have a screen size of 480px or less. Aka mobile users.
Just stick the file in the same place as “style.css”.

If i had access to html files i could create a drop down menu, but i figure mobile users want to read the comic 😛
Oh lmao, I just realised this isn’t going to work because you can’t link to the new css file. I made a wordpress plugin instead, but I can’t test the damn thing because i have to pay wordpress money to use plugins on my own site.
Anyways here is the plugin: https://mega.nz/#!4dx33DoY!boiYCPN7nWfVKt0tYSoAufn2dmVXTrIs9LSHQGbiuX0
It says that the plugin couldn’t be activated due to an error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘href’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/wp_gu9rj9/kukuruyo.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress_plugin_kuku_mobile/mobileWordPressPlugin.php on line 13
This one should work: https://mega.nz/#!oEgSmCSC!BKCvO612QCT4QA9F3OnInsJpdDHIXY3dHqZHfWj1EWo
Do you have an email I can contact you at? Comments are getting a little squished 😛
Sure, kukuruyo@gmail.com
I’ll try the plugin later
It activated correctly now but the mobile site hasn’t changed.
