WordPress Mobile Theme
I feel glad to introduce a free WordPress theme for the Mobile Phones. This is a minimalistic theme that can be used by bloggers who want to target mobile phone users. This theme will fit perfectly in all the mobile phones (any resolution) and because of its light weight, will also reduce loading times. The three key features that I have included with this theme are:-
1. You can choose your own theme color from the theme options. (any color you want for your theme is just a click away)
2. You can define your own width for your theme. The theme can have 100% width if you want the theme to fit on every mobile phone, or you can define a fixed width in pixels to target special users.
3. The front page will dynamically create thumbnails for your posts.
All you have to do is download the theme and activate it for your blog. And yes, don’t forget to leave a comment!
Just out of curiosity, how would you run a WordPress mobile site for an existing blog? This was my guess:
1) Create a subdomain, “m.mysite.com”
2) Install this mobile theme on a new WordPress install on this new subdomain
3) During WP setup, point your existing website’s database as the database of this new installation
4) Edit htaccess(?) so that any mobile user visiting your site gets forced over to “m.mysite.com”
5) Mark the entire website as “noindex” so it’s not duplicate content
Does this sound right?
Mark – Can you let me know how to edit htaccess ?
I like many of the free themes. The mobile theme I am going to have to give it a try!
facing error in my site after install wordpress mobile theme
Very nice and useful information for creating the mobile phone theme blog.I like this template

HI,
In my browser of blacberry curve 8520, the picture do not display as thumbnails preview on each entry. For example: the photo of last blog entry is not correctly resized. Moreover, This photo appears in the last two entries as just one photo.
I am thinking in disable the thumbnails. How can I make this? or how I can repair the problem ?. Many thank for any help.
Oh (excuse me)…. Great Theme !
Anyone had a problem where images over a certain size show the little blue question mark? I’m trying to load a jpg into the theme that is 300×200, and it only shows a blue question mark. Any other larger jpg around the web I put in to test does the same thing. If I do a small image, like the link.jpg that comes with this theme, it works. OR, if I take that large image and make it 100px wide, it works. Any ideas? I need the image to be 300×200

I love this theme and plan on using it to create mobile versions of my websites. Thanks to everyone who left comments on plugins.
There are many information about mobile theme and article as well. I get many information from here. Thanks. All the best.
It was a real contentment locating your site a short while ago. I got here now hoping to get interesting things. And I was not let down. Your ideas on new strategies on this subject material were enlightening and a good help to my family. Thank you for creating time to write down these things plus for sharing your thoughts.
Could you pls let me know why the thumbnails of homepage are not displaying thanks.
Hi!
To all people getting the Fatal Error with missing get_the_image() function:
You need to install “Get the Image” -plugin for WordPress:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/
After installing this the mobile theme works like a charm.
I used this on my pool fencing mobile website – http://www.poolfencing.mobi/
Looks and works great. Nice and simple, just what I need.
What think Google about Mobile Sites? It´s Duble Content? If you make your Sites with another CSS technic, you can create One Content for all.
great WP theme thanks will be using on my mobey sites
nice theme, i downloaded it…..thankss
nice theme.i will build my mobile website use it.thank you.
amazing ! thank you very much!
I love this mobile theme…I customized it to look like a simpler version of my current desktop layout. Ive tried others but this is the best yet!
I’ve got some problems. Can’t fix it. Can you help?
I have this line:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function getImage() in /home/casagibo/casagibo/blog/wp-content/themes/magazine-basic/category.php on line 14
I can see 2 times “casagibo” and it should appear only once. How can I fix it?
I love this themes and if I can fix i’ll buy the complete version.
Thank’s

Hi,
I’m having the same problem as some other users have had – I’m using the Smooci plug-in to detect access by a mobile device, and when that happens, I’ve set Smooci up to use your mobile theme. However, I get the same error message as others have had:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_the_image() in /home/dsrusse/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mobiletheme/page.php on line 13
I’m using the version of your theme that is given in the link above this thread, and so I’m wondering, please, whether you had found a solution the problem?
Many thanks!
Darren
How to setup it for the mobile version ?
Great to have a theme designed for mobile, now that we have a WordPress CMS made mobile devices… I’ll try it on my iPhone…
How do you change the colour of the header?
Mine is white and the text is also white.
Thanks
Simon
I had the same issue but i figured it out. Go to your theme editor on wordpress and under the mobile theme files edit style.php. Remove the code and change it to your own color. Hope that works!
Awesome WordPress mobile theme!
thanks for sharing…
Here is the trick to have this apply to only the mobile phone while the regular theme is displayed for pc users

Hi, really thank you for the mobile themes..
thanks you…………. i am using on my blog………..i like it……….again thanks
Hi Jai, first thank you for the mobile theme I liked a lot, the thumbnails is the best.
But… I have a little problem, I instaled your theme in my professional website running WordPress 2.9.2. But I cannot see the options to change color, widht , etc… the mobile theme options are not showing any controls to change this.
Thanks so much for this theme
But i have question, is it possible to make clickable link on thumbnail ?
sorryn i’m newbie…
Nice theme. Thanks for sharing!
wow… nice info, Gan.. thank you for sharing
I’ll try it soon for my website.
Hi Mr. Jai..
There are 2 questions I wanna ask you..
1. Do I need to fill in custom field on every single post in order to show thumbnail in the homepage? I’ve tried to add an image in PNG, but there is no image shows up in the home page..
2. Can I set the theme to max. width of the 500px when my blog viewed by computer browser, and set 100% it is viewed by mobile browser.. Maksudnya gini Om Jai, di style css di set ke maksimal 500px, dan di dashboard di set ke 100%.. Jadi otomatis ketika dibuka di kompi dia cuma 500px, tapi di mobile dia jadi 100% mengikuti / sesuai ponsel yang dipake.. bisa tidak kalo begitu Om Jai..
Thanks..
The thumbnails are automatic as long as they are uploaded with the post and are on your server and not hotlinked. And yes, you can set the theme to max width as much as you like.
wonderful theme … thanks for putting it out there … its just what I needed.
I am about to set up a 2d barcode system in Barga (LU) Tuscany Italy for tourist information. This week there will be 50 small 2d barcodes labels put up in the city at all the major attractions, churchs, piazzas, palazzi, bars and restaurants. I have been running the barganews.com website for the city since 1996 but it was time to make that move into the next level – mobile information. Your theme was perfect for this project.
I do have a small problem though – whenever I click on Categories I get an error code – Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_the_image() in ……..
Is there something simple that I am doing wrong ?

Where did you download your theme from? Download again and let me know.
Jai, just done a clean re install from a download from this site .. nothing doing, same problem.
Jai, I really do want to use your theme for this project … of all the ones that I have tried, yours is simply graphically the best but I still cannot get the pages or categories to work … only posts works as they should.
This project goes live at the end of this month .. if I cannot get your theme to work then I will be forced to use one of the other themes … something I am resisting.
This project will be the first medieval walled city in Italy that has been 2d barcoded ready to be read by tourists via their cellphones.
There will be a lot of publicity about this event in the Italian media …. please can you give me a hand to get this working
ciao
http://www.barganews.com – main site
http://www.barganews.com/mobile – 2dbarcode site
All right. The theme is fixed now. Please download again and check.
YAY !!!!! well done that man
everything is now running as it should
thank you
+rubs hands with glee and gets on with the site+
I downloaded your theme after this may 24 fix was made. I’m having this same problem but with the pages, specifically the default about page. (haven’t added others to know if its all pages) Error message is..
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_the_image() in … on line 13
if it is fixed could you post how you did it? I ‘ve customized it all today and can’t download a new copy for it will overwrite it all.
One other problem was the theme options wouldn’t apply. The header color and I think width. I had to do those manually.
Great theme by the way, I was happy to discover it!
I’m having the same trouble. Just downloaded today.
Downloading the theme again won’t get rid of this error. You have to download this plugin and activate it. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/
Hope this help.

Thank you so much really nice
Really good themes.thx
That’s a great little theme! Thanks for posting it
Nice theme. Thanks for sharing!
Great Job Jay! Your skill is Great. but I curious with it, Is it working with all on wordpress plug-in such wp-ecommerce?
Very good themes,thank you
thnx. i will waiting for this plugin
it sounds pretty good!
Im also interested in this theme, but how can be applied just to mobile browsers as you say?
I seen the archive and it just appear as a “normal theme” so if i apply it, it will substitute my actual running wp theme…
Maybe should work in conjuction with WordPress Mobile Pack (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack)
or WordPress Mobile Edition (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition)
Yes. Like I said earlier, this is a simple mobile theme that can be applied to a normal WP blog. But to actually use it as a substitute theme (when site is viewed from a mobile), you will need a plugin.
Hi, which plugin do I need? I love i also want to use it only for the mobile version.
This is a very nice wp-theme for mobile.
Thanks for sharing!
I love this WordPress theme…
Like always Jai.. Great job! We’ve just implemented this new mobile theme on our latest site – AccessorizeMobile.com, and hoping to bring it to several other sites within the next few weeks. I’m glad you finally decided to work on a mobile design… It was needed.
Thank you Scott. It has always been a pleasure working with you
Looks great but would work better as a plugin so that a regular theme would be used for regular browsers.
I would have loved to make this into a plugin but I am not a plugin developer. I will surely love to invite readers from my blog to convert it into a plugin and I will put it up on my blog with due credit
i will waiting for this plugin
i hope if its was finish and will share with other
WordPress Mobile Pack plugin allows use of any theme to be presented to mobile browser user agents…. it comes with several themes, but you can specify any theme for mobile user agents.
Super – thank you!
awesome , i will install and see on my nokia 5800
Can i use for nokia 3120 classic with browser opera mini?
yes you can, its easy to use
@Dee:- What do you mean by missing header ?
@Ajay:- Normal browsers will also see the same theme.
Love this mobile theme very much!!
thanks for sharing
Missing header?!
What about normal browsers?
