WordPress and Mobile Design

Most new WordPress themes are responsive, or mobile-friendly. If you are purchasing a new theme make sure that this feature is included and check the theme demo from your phone to be sure. I’ve found that more popular themes have included responsive features in their updates. For older themes or themes that have been abandoned by their developer, there are several options. You can add a plugin that incorporates mobile or add some custom CSS code for smaller devices. The best option would be to upgrade to a new theme as it probably means your theme is outdated and unsupported and thus not only stale but a possible security risk too.
