Can you NOT show some pages on a mobile variant?

[janet2280]

I am working on a mobile variant for one of my sites. I am not using a Xara template. I don’t want all the pages on the mobile version. For instance out of 15 pages I may only want 4 or 5.

I have made sections ‘Stop sharing with all variants’ and then deleted them on the mobile version which seemed to work OK, but when I do this on a page it deletes from the Main Site too.

I’ve watched the 2 videos on created a mobile site but this does not seem to be covered.

Could you not just delete the link to the pages in the mobile variants nav bar?

Not a clever solution, but maybe a pragmatic one?

Oh... Sometimes the most simple answer is the most clever. It worked marvelously. Thanks very much.

But, doesn't work if you are viewing the Main Site and then change the browser width.

Acorn - Does it remove the page if you are viewing it on a mobile device instead of reducing the browser width?

OK I tried it http://gwpriester.xara.hosting/variant/ Look at this on your monitor and on your cell or tablet. 6 pages on the main, 4 on the mobile.

Must be a bug?

Yes, but the problem is you can change a tablet or phone from landscape to portrait, achieving the same transformation so the issue can happen for unexpected viewport widths, for which you cannot plan.

And follow up, Acorn. I tested the page in Firefox, Opera, Edge, IE, and Chrome by narrowing the width of the screen and all browsers display the reduced number of buttons on the mobile variant. Not sure how you got it to do what you are reporting.
