[Plugin: WPtouch] Not working with iPhone 3gs (and others)

The problem has to do with caching.

I used the plugin on my site at https://www.nodeju.com and for a while it worked like it was suppose to.

As I got more visitors my site degraded in speed and my hosting company suggested I install the W3Total cache program.

After I did that I noticed that WPTouch sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t.

To test my theory I disabled W3Total and sure enough WPTouch worked. Enabled the cache plugin and WPtouch became erratic.

Interestingly enough I do not get an error from either plugin and I have no clue how to reconfigure W3Total to make it work with WPtouch or if another cache program is available that works with it.

UPDATE:

I added a list of rejection agents to page cache and minify under W3T and that seems to do the trick. WPTouch is now working fine.

If you’re running W3 Total Cache or any other cache plugin, please make sure that you are configuring to work with WPtouch by adding the list of mobile user agents WPtouch supports to the ‘rejected user agents’ area.

You can find the list in the WPtouch admin panel.

Hi, I’m having the same problem displaying the mobile theme on my site https://www.everintransit.com . I’m using WPTouch and W3 Total Cache.

I just added the following list to the ‘rejected user agents’ section of W3TC then cleared the caches and it’s still not displaying the mobile them on my iphone.

Any advice?

Note: I also followed the steps in this post and added the list to the rejected users under Minify and the CDN tabs, but it still didn’t work:

We’re seeing WPtouch enabled and functioning on the url posted. Are you able to reproduce the issue? Does it persist when W3 Total Cache is purged and disabled?

It was mysteriously working again last night, but I just checked right now on my iphone and it’s not working again. I haven’t made any changes to the site since I last wrote. Any idea what is going on?

Hi everintransit,

Things look fine at our end at the moment and it looks like the mobile user agent list has been excluded in W3TC (per the footprint in the source).
