Mobile Redirect for Front Page

Hi Ian,

can you try this instead?

add_action( 'wp', 'tu_redirect_mobile' );
function tu_redirect_mobile() {
    if ( wp_is_mobile() && is_front_page() ) {
        wp_redirect( 'https://thelitunderground.com/podcasts', 301 );
        exit;
    }
}

Let us know how it goes.

Hey Elvin, that one didn't end up working.

It's working on my end.

You can visit this page - https://dev-generate-press.pantheonsite.io/

When I visit this page on my Android phone (chrome), I get redirected to your site's podcasts page.

It should be the same when you try to visit it from your phone's browser.

Note: I don't think this kind of redirection is reliable though. Even the official documentation doesn't recommend this - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_is_mobile/ - WordPress core's wp_is_mobile() is not reliable. It's better to rely on JS for this.

Consider trying this:

Create a Hook element. Set the display rule location to "Front page" and then add this code.

<script>
if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|Mac|Macintosh|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
	location.href = "https://thelitunderground.com/podcasts";
}</script>

This should redirect the visitor to the href specified. If the page visited on a detected mobile device specified on the condition.

Thanks for the help Elvin! I just added a hook, set a rule to the front page and added the code. Is it working on your end? It isn't working on my phone.

It's working on my end when I visit your site. On my phone (Android, Chrome), when I try to visit the frontpage, it brings me to the /podcasts/ page immediately.

Hey Elvin, so I see that its working for Android on Chrome. However, it is not working for Safari on Iphone on the phones around my house. Thanks!

It's working now! Thanks Elvin!
