I have tested some Responsive template’s mobile version that are not working properly. I mean all features are not showing, so carefully check your mobile template. But in case of mobile template there are a big problem that if you want to display ads then you won’t able to display ads if your ads are not responsive. So if you want to earn money from your blog then wise decision will be to select the second option No, show desktop template on mobile devices. Because it will display your desktop template with your existing ads. But this option is recommended for Responsive template users.

So I hope that you have successfully activated Mobile Version of your current Template for Smartphone. If you are facing any difficulty or have any query then feel free to leave a comment below.
