Disable access to page from mobile devices

Look up this tag from the codex: wp_is_mobile :

if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
	die("Sorry, access is restricted to desktop visits only.");
}

Usage:

Add the above code in your child theme page.php file (in the top, make sure syntax is correct) IF you want to restrict access for all site pages, or setup a custom template for that specific page you wanted to restrict access to, here’s how to achieve that:

Hello Samuel,

Thank you for your answer.

Is there a way to add this code on a single page without having to modify PHP files?

Otherwise, Is there a way to redirect mobile devices to another page automatically?

Thank you for your help!

OK – see if this does it:

Add this code to your child theme’s functions.php file:

function redirect_me() {
	if(is_single() && wp_is_mobile() || is_page() && wp_is_mobile() ) { // eliminates homepage excerpts
		ob_start();
		$redirect_to = home_url();
		?>
			<script>window.location.replace("<?php echo $redirect_to;?>");</script>
		<?php
		return ob_get_clean();
	}
}
add_shortcode('redirect-me', 'redirect_me');

Add this shortcode [redirect-me] in the post/page which want to be redirecting to somewhere ($redirect_to) if visited on mobile.

If you want to redirect to somewhere else not the homepage, edit the code, and change home_url() to the desired URL, like:

$redirect_to = "https://w.org/";

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for your answer.

I tried that but it did not work…

Do you think there is some kind a plugin that can do that?

OK – so wp_is_mobile() is not working ?

I am sorry, I couldn’t help in light of this new info.

Hello Samuel,

Maybe I inserted it wrong in the PHP file…

Anyway, I found another way to do what I wanted.

I am very thankful for your help!

Hi Swissprice. may i know what did you do to Disable access to page from mobile devices. thanks ??

Hi hanantq,

This might work for you:

add_action('wp', function() {

	$pages = array( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
	$destination = 'https://google.com/#q=Y+U+NO+use+computer';

	if( wp_is_mobile() && ( is_page( $pages ) && ! is_feed() ) ) {
		wp_redirect( $destination );
		exit;
	}

});

Add it to your child theme’s functions file, and remember to replace 1, 2, 3, 4 with the targeted pages IDs separated by commas, or empty ($pages = array();) to target all pages. And replace the destination.

Remember it will work on pages only if it worked.

BTW, you should have opened an independent support topic as per https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post

Hello hannatq,

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a proper solution for my problem. Instead, I used WPtouch to adapt my website for mobile browsing.

I haven’t tried the last solution Samuel Elh provided. Maybe it’ll work for you.

Hello!it worked for me. Thank you Samuel Elh. And also to you Swissprince. ??
