Upgrade MobilePress Without Loosing Mobile Design

I have been using MobilePress plugin to render a mobile optimized version of this blog.
For some time now, I deliberately did not update the MobilePress plugin because the last time I did, the little design iteration I made was gone.

For me not to lose my mobile design, I took a backup of my MobilePress Theme, updated the plugin and then uploaded the backup. Sounds difficult? See the steps below.

  1. Access your web server via a FTP client
  2. Navigate to your-wordpress-install-folder/wp-content/plugins/mobilepress/themes
  3. If you modified and still using the default MobilePress theme, take a backup of the default folder.
  4. You can now update the plugin.
  5. Delete the old theme folder and upload the backup you took in step 3.
  6. If you created your own theme just like me, you need to go to MobilePress theme settings and activate the theme.

At last, I’m happy I won’t get bugged again by that upgrade notice 😀
