7 WordPress Mobile Themes
More and more people are using WordPress mobile themes because more people are viewing websites via their smartphones. Personally, I do just as much browsing with my iphone as on my laptop. As a result, there is an exploding niche of themes designed for mobile applications. Here are some of the best that we’ve found. If you like what you see here, you may also like our previous post about mobile phone blogging.
WordPress Mobile Themes
My Mobile Page WordPress Mobile Theme
My Mobile Page theme has some really cool features. It automatically detects resolution and adjusts accordingly, plus it comes with 5 different color skins. This theme also boasts being a “simplistic mobile theme” which seems somewhat redundant but I suppose it is accurate.
WordPress Mobile Theme
WordPress Mobile Theme by BlogOhBlog is about as simple as it gets. What’s more, it’s completely free!
Hybrido WordPress Mobile Theme
Hybrido is actually a full blown WordPress theme that comes with a bonus mobile theme to accompany. This is especially nice because your design remains continuous and similar across both browser types.
Mobius WordPress Mobile Theme
Mobius theme is one of the slickest WordPress Mobile Themes. It has a smooth interface and nice dark styling. It also comes with social media integration.
iWorld WordPress Mobile Theme
iWorld comes with 1o colors which leaves your options for implementation wide open. This theme was also specifically designed for iPhone and iPod Touch. I’m not sure what that means but sounds fancy.
SOFA iBloggr WordPress Mobile Theme
This theme is sweet, mainly because of the HTML 5 compliance, and widget support. There looks to be social media functionality built right in as well which is a huge bonus.
WP Touch 2.0 WordPress Mobile Themes
WPTouch is a premium theme, but the feature list suggests the $39 is worth it. Check your analytics. I bet more and more people are viewing your site with mobile web browsers. WPTouch is the final in this list of quality WordPress mobile themes, if you enjoyed this list, please share it. Or, leave your own suggestions for WordPress mobile themes in the comments below.

Maybe it is a silly quiestion, but I still do not understand the point of mobile themes. As far as I know, the “normal” themes automatically adjust if the page is viewed from a smartphone. At least I have never got any problems with viewing my standat theme from a smartphone!
Cyrus, Never heard of WordPress themes for mobile (sad), does they need to be installed separately? If that’s installed regularly, how can one access such websites on internet? OR they are just to access through mobile and can’t work well on internet?
Mikelis, they are typically used for phones without full-web capability or for admins who want to control what is displayed for mobile users.
Pavan, some of these themes come with capabilities that automatically switch the theme based on browser type.
Thanks for your comments!
I’ve also read about special WP themes for mobile for the first time here. Frankly speaking, I don’t think it’s comfortable to blog on a phone having no full Web capability, maybe only when there’s something really urgent. But actually I admit someone may need WordPress Mobile themes heavily and like them much. So, thank you for the provided information!
I use WP Touch 2.0 WordPress Mobile Themes for one of my blog but I think that I will change for Hybrido.
I was searching for some mobile themes and I found this! Thank you, I will try to install them on my blog to see which one is the best.
I do get a lot of visitors from iPhone´s and Android mobiles so that´s why I want to set up a mobile version of my website.
Do you use one of these for yourself?
That is so great to me to find such themes.thanks a lot for this.i ll surely use them.
Mobius looks gorgeous on the screenshot. WP Touch has settings for placing ad units, I’ll have to check if the Mobius also has same setting or if I need to place the ad manually.
Very nice collection, thanks Cyrus!
Hello,
This is just… wow ! Those are fantastic themes, very good-looking. I’m looking forward to buying myself one or two. I’m thinking of buying Hybrido and SOFA. Thanks a lot for sharing this great article and those great themes for mobile. Keep up the good work!
Best regards,
Maria
I am wondering if WordPress.org will eventually adapt WPTouch and Carrington themes the way WordPress.com has. It could make things easier, though it would be nice to be able to install and select mobile themes without a plugin to do the mobile detection.
