Strange issues with mobile version and caching

    Hi, I’m a long-time user of Responsive and have loved this theme ever since I adopted it. In the past year, I’ve started garnering significant traffic over at randalolson.com and have started experiencing CSS issues. Due to the traffic, I had to set up caching (via W3 Total Cache) and a CDN (via a free version of CloudFlare) to efficiently serve content to my visitors.

    At some point after implementing the cache and CDN, I started getting weird CSS issues. Here’s an album to help show what’s going on: https://imgur.com/a/Z46LH

    The first image is the bad “mobile” version that crops up every once in a while. If I clear the cache, it shows the good normal version again (second image).

    Any ideas on what’s going on here? How can I prevent this from happening? If possible, I’d like to get rid of this “mobile” version entirely because it looks terrible.

  • Setup a child theme acc to

    And make sure to not include the “mobile” version of the css, which is here:
    /wp-content/themes/responsive/core/css/responsive.css?ver=1000

    I wouldn’t know exactly how to do this, but only *that* you could do it this way.

    For the caching issues, I’d ask in the plugin forum – perhaps its triggered by updates?

    I think I figured it out. Apparently the “bad” mobile theme I posted an image of is the Jetpack Mobile theme. I disabled that in Jetpack and the mobile version isn’t showing up any more.
