its been a few months now since oxwall released mobile version and not one plugin has been updated to work on mobile site 
besides a few themes that just copied and pasted the oxwall mobile pages into there themes

is it because oxwall made it to hard for developers to make there plugins work on mobile 
or 
the mobile site is just not good enough yet for them to even bother looking at making there plugin work on mobile site

Hi Tammy,

One developer Purusothaman Ramanujam has already done so if you have his plugins, others i guess are just too lazy or they believe "The excuse i get everytime" if there isn't a lot of requests from Buyers or their customers they wont bother to go mobile or even update them or let alone fix glitches in their plugins.

90% of developers sell plugins that are in Beta and use our sites as testing ground and offer them for free when you have issue or tell them you want the error fixed they dont answer you unless you cry out in public and name and shame their plugins.

Once they get your complaints they will fix it and then sell it instead of giving you a free fix for the plugins.

Agreed, developers need to pull their fingers out.


They knew mobile was going to be added for ages, and should have been planning a mobile release.


Absolutely disgusting. Why have a plugin that only works for now essentially half your site?


I've started to make my own version of some of these plugins (with my own additions), that also work on mobile. I don't want to be reliant on third parties any more, my site is getting too busy.

Yes, updates to the platform are welcomed, I love Oxwall, I can't imagine using anything else.


But a lot of the plugins on the store are no longer supported or developed and it's a shame as they don't take advantage of all the new features.
