Many thanks for your reply. The issue seems to have resolved now without my doing anything – must just have been a temporary problem in connecting to you tube.

Yes, many thanks great. A copy of the current plugin would be much appreciated. Mon pm is a good time for a call.

Yes that narrows it down a bit. The problem is either in the 2FA part of the combined plug in or (more likely I guess) it’s in the bit’s of the firewall that have been changed in the four months since the stand-alone plug in was last updated. My worry is that when the stand-alone plugin gets updated in the future the problem will return. If you could keep me posted on any developments in getting to the bottom of this, as depending on the situation I may or may not want to apply future updates.

I found a solution by installing your stand-alone firewall application (as I didn’t really need the 2fa part of the bigger plugin anyway), and this worked fine, so either its the 2fa part causing the problem, or the firewall part of the larger plugin is not identical to the smaller one. I was a bit loathe to use the stand-alone plugin as it has not been updated for some time and there aren’t many active installations, but I did, and to my surprise this solved the problem. If you do ever update the stand-alone firewall plugin, and i hope you will, make sure you don’t just replace it with what you now have in the combined plugin, because the latter still doesn’t work for me.

Any progress on this. I’ve since disabled all the other non-miniorange plugin but it doesn’t seem to make any difference.

Many Thanks.

I tried WP Touch but I didn’t like the theme. I wonder if there is a possibility of getting access to that same theme as is available at wordpress.com.

I have a feeling the add-on I’m seeking used to be available on via the jet pack plugin but has now been removed on the grounds that the main themes are now sufficiently responsive that the alternative themes are no longer useful (obviously I don’t agree with that thinking). If you’re aware of any alternative to jet pack that I could use I’d be glad of the information.

My main gripe with the main twenty eleven theme is that the text size is slightly too small and the line spacing slightly too wide on mobile compared to the mobile-specific option at wordpress.com. But it’s not so bad that I want to spend any substantial time editing CSS to put it right.

I have a clone of my self-hosted site as a free site on wordpress.com. I’ve not even shared the latter publicly in the past as I’ve used it only as a developmental environment to do things like trialling new themes etc. However, I’m now thinking of sharing it purely because of this much more attractive mobile-specific theme option not available on the self-hosted version – I may even consider ditching the self-hosted version and just switching to wordpress.com if I can’t find a more conservative solution.

to www.ads-software.com

In the wordpress.com version there is another control in the mobile footer where you can switch between the full site version (which gives the mobile version of the mobile responsive main Twenty Twelve them) or the mobile version (which gives a different theme, a mobile specific theme). This control only appears at the front-end and only on mobile devices. It’s on the wordpress.com package of Twenty Twelve but not on the www.ads-software.com. What I’m asking is how can I get that alternative mobile-specific theme to be available as an add-on (in addition to the main Twenty Twelve theme) on my www.ads-software.com package in the same way that it is at WordPress.com.

I tried WP Touch. It did offer a mobile-specific theme, but it’s not the theme that is being offered by WordPress.com. It would be nice if I could find a plugin that would provide the exact theme provided by WordPress.com as it was such a nice theme.

Certainly looks like this feature had gone from Jet Pack by the time I’d check, although I’m not sure if that was the mobile-specific theme being deployed at WordPress.com and/or whether it’s likely to be dropped from there too. I guess this theme goes back to the days before WordPress themes were mobile responsive. The WordPress theme I’m using now is mobile responsive, it’s just that I preferred the mobile specific one and would like not only to hang on to it, but also to use it on my self-hosted WordPress as well. I started a thread on the WordPress. com forums to try to get some more info on this.

Yes I do have K2 installed currently. I’m trying to replace it precisely because it is no longer supported. 2016 looks like a promising replacement that meets most of my needs. But the version of 2016 available to me through my self-hosted environment doesn’t display properly on mobiles (yes, it displays different but is not really what I want). The version available on wordpress.com on the other hand works differently as it has an extra functionality built in (Mobile under Appearance) and gives a better result on mobiles (more than just squashed to fit but actually arranged coherently as well). The latter would be fine but I can’t really work on wordpress.com or at least it would not be my first choice.
