Hi Ammar,
I have new to this blogging world and have tried up setting various mobile plugins like wptouch, wordpress mobile pack and duda mobile but none of the plugins help me display images on my mobile site. Please suggest a good plugin that will display images properly on my mobile site.
Did you tried built in feature of jetpack?
It’s wonderful mobile plugin. BTW, which images are you trying to show on mobile?
The Mowser WordPress plugin you explained is good but will it be able to mange from all sort of mobie OS?
Wp Touch works great, I’m not sure about Mowser.
Right now, I’m using Jetpack builtin mobile theme feature.
There are so many mobile devices and as many operating systems, it is simply impossible to keep them all in mind. I would like to turn things around and ask the mobile market to create a standard platform because it is currently unworkable.
Thanks for this great post, The one am using right now on my blog is Mobilepress, i really like it, Thanks once again..
I learnt from one of your posts about Mobile optimization and now gonna use WPTouch for the same purpose. Thanks a lot for the beautiful list. Helped me choose the best plugin for my blog.

Hi Sarmad,
Yes – I have been using wordpress for quite a long while now. And with the excellent applications (and onsite plugins for that matter) it has just become that much easier and powerful, especially if you are mobile and have a need to update the dashboard (and much more) on the go.
I’ve been using WP Touch mobile version plug-in and it loads fast for handheld device users. Mobile version of the website is one of the best factor for reducing the bounce rate.
Yes this is one of the best plugin out there!
I have used WP Touched but its giving me some problem while using it.some times its shows mobile views in while i m through PC.please help me how to get ride from it.
Use latest version of WP Touch! or deactivate and activate plugin again!
Very good i am going to try at least one of them in my blog by the way Great article and very good helpful information i like it i am a blogger so i can imagine that how much effort did you put in this i am going to share this post with my friends as well thanks buddy keep up the good work…

thanks for comment!
They are great plugin for the wordpress blog and am using some of the plugin on my site and they are doing wonder on my blog. thanks for sharing
Yes these are very good plugins currently out there!!!
Instead of using these plugin, I would like to go for Responsive Design. Complete website will be flexible on any sort of device.
That’s very good idea but some bloggers especially new bloggers are lazy and keep on searching the plugins……so that will help those sort of bloggers.
If you are involve in online marketing then one thing you should do you should has been updated all those kind of plug-ins which mentioned in this post then it would be prove much beneficial for you and your business as well.
Infact most of the plugins are used on many blogs and some have not been updated but i have selected those that are good features so you can use which is updated …but all are working:)
