Disable on-hover Pinit on mobiles, but keep enabled on desktop browsers?

  • I am experiencing two annoying issues on mobiles.

    First, when on a mobile and clicking an image to open a lightbox, the Pinit button stays around in front of the lightbox and image. On a desktop the Pinit button goes away when you open a lightbox.

    Second, on a mobile when the user has to click the image twice now to open the lightbox. This is because the mobile registers the first click as the hover.

    If I can fix the first issue, possibly even with forcing a lower z-index than my lightbox on mobiles, I can probably live with the second problem.

    Really though, it seems best just to turn off this hover on mobiles and avoid both issues.

    Otherwise, I will need to remove the plugin completely.

    Thank you in advance!
    Mike

    Could you share your site URL?

    We will check and try to find out a solution for that.

    Thanks

    I am having the exact same issue. Because you can’t “hover” over an image on a cell phone, the user is having to click on all the images twice to open it. For example, I have several different galleries on a page. When I try to open a gallery by clicking on a thumbnail, i’m having to click twice. This is only on the cell phone and works perfectly on desktop.

    Thanks for your continued support.

    Hi Users,

    That can be possible by using this function.

    if ( wp_is_mobile() ) {
	/* mobile devices - disable pin it button */
} else {
	/* Desktop devices - Enable pin it button */
}

    I think this code will fix this. We will add a new setting for mobile device. But, before adding this testing also required.

    Guys please hold the breath for a while, we are maintaining about 19 plugins on www.ads-software.com.

    I promise, I will update the plugin within 2-3, if not please remind me.

    Thanks for your support for this plugin.

    Thanks
