You must log in to post replies.Use a mobile friendly theme like Aalborg Theme or use the plugin Mobilize (https://github.com/Elggzone/Mobilize)
Which version of Elgg are you using? Recent versions of Elgg have the Aalborg theme that is responsive (so mobile friendly). Alternatively there are other responsive themes available.
Just curious, are responsive themes available for Elgg 3x - including paid themes ?
( Elgg 2x seem to be EOL as well as php5x but I am not sure when )
Thank you for the recommendation @Rohit I appreciate it!!
@iionly I am using the Aalborg theme and changed code to what I wanted but I added a login page plugin that when you look from mobile it comes out very small and not good to use. I actually deactivated due to now see how the aalborg theme looks via mobile. I thought I needed the login plugin but I dont.,,
@dranii I dont know, that is interesting though.
Elgg 3 has not even be released and it will be at least a couple month until it is. I doubt that there are already themes for Elgg 3 available (at least published themes as some people might already experiment with Elgg 3 a bit to be prepared). Even with Elgg 3 released it might take a while until themes arrive. Elgg 3 is fully responsive and mobile friendly by default. While Elgg 2 themes won't work on Elgg 3 without getting updated it shouldn't be too hard to upgrade an existing theme (or the other way round: modify the Elgg 3 UI files accordingly to get the same look and feel as before on Elgg 2). Likewise, it's not too hard to start with the default Elgg 3 UI and create a theme plugin that changes the look and feel - it should be even easier as with Elgg 2. Of course, a bit of coding knowledge would be necessary but it's surely manageable.
Even with Elgg 3 released it won't be the immediate EOL of Elgg 2. With Elgg 3 released Elgg 2 will become the new LTS release replacing Elgg 1.12 in this role. Elgg 2 should receive bugfixes (at least security fixes) until Elgg 4 would get released when Elgg 3 would replace Elgg 2 as LTS release. Elgg 2.3 also works with PHP 7 so you can upgrade from PHP 5 to 7 and still use Elgg 2.3 until you are ready to upgrade to Elgg 3.
