    Hi support guys, Please have a look at the following sites through a mobile phone !
    schaduw.uwzorgaanbod.nl
    test.uwzorgaanbod.nl

    The first one is not showing the menu bar on the mobile phone, while the second one does. The difference is that on the first one the GD=>Design=>Home=>Geodirectory home page option is enabled and on the second one it’s disabled! This latter is then of course not showing any GD menu items anymore.

    Can anyone help me out on this as we definitely need the menu bar to be there on mobile phones when having the GD home page option enabled.

    By the way apart from the GD plugins I’m using Weaver II Pro as theme !

    Regards, Ronald Brink

    Hi Ronald,

    FYI GD is not 100% multisite compatible (looks like ur using that?)

    I can see from the source that the mobile menu is not being added, is th emobile menu a pluign or part of the theme?

    Hi Stiofan, Think I’m missing your point!?! First of all I’m not using WP multisite. Secondly I’m not sure what you mean by “the mobile menu” As explained as soon as I enable the GD=>Design=>Home=>Geodirectory home page option the menu bar is not rendered on mobile phones anymore, while it is when this option is disabled. So I don’t think that has anything to do with “mobile menu”?!

    Hi Ronald,

    The mobile menu is basically a copy of the menu but it’s formatted for mobile use, it’s hidden on the page and when the browser window gets to a certain small width the CSS will show it and hide the normal menu. This could be the theme that does this or it could be a plugin, i was wanting to know what one adds the menu code as it’s not being added where it’s not appearing?

    Hi Stiofan, Still not getting your point, because menu-bar does appear on mobile phone when disabling the GD option! So neither the theme (which is Weaver II Pro by the way) nor any plugin (which I’m not using to my knowledge) is causing this. At least not in my opinion. I think it’s caused by GD. Ronald

    Hi Stofian, I’ve played around with my Weaver II Pro theme settings. The only options within the theme settings which renders the menu bar again is the one to “disable mobile support”. This option effectively will shrink the sizes of the sidebars and content areas, but will otherwise not be responsive or stack sidebars.

    For the time being this is acceptable for me, however I think this issue should be resolved by GD itself. Hope to here from you.

    Thanks Ronald,

    The problem is the theme’s javascript checks for the div 

    <div id="main"></div>

    we replace that, as a temp solution i have added a blank div like that to the theme header.php (at the very bottom) but this will be removed with any updates. You could add it to a child theme header.

    IMO this theme sucks, all the mobile stuff is done with JS rather than CSS, but each to their own.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hi Stiofan, Thanks for your support. This solution is good enough for me for now.
    I can’t say I agree with you that the Weaver theme “sucks”. I think (at least for it’s supported functionality) it is a very good theme. Technically I do not have any opinion on whether this kind of stuff should be done in JS or in CSS. But (as a non web programmer) I think these are architectural/technical decisions/choices.
    Anyway … thanks again for the solution. Ronald

    No problem Ronald! I’m sure it does not suck, it’s just an old way of doing things now, f it can achieve the same results then great 🙂
