Any Mobile Theme Switcher

By Dnesscarkey

What it does: Shows a different theme to visitors on mobile devices.

Why it’s listed: Most themes now adapt to any screen, so few sites need a separate mobile theme. This plugin was last updated in 2024.

Is Any Mobile Theme Switcher still maintained?

It has gone over two years without an update.

Falling behind: WordPress or a service it relies on has moved on.

Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.

What to do next

  1. Back up the site, and use a staging copy for any change.
  2. Check your site on a phone with one responsive theme, then remove this plugin.

If it works today, no need to panic. Plan the change around your next update.
