I’m not sure if this is actually a Freeway problem, but thought I’d post because you’ve been able to solve every issue I’ve asked about so far.
I’ve got my new website published and my Dad is helping me test functionality and links. We’ve run into an oddity that neither of us is able to figure out. We can both access the site from our computers (laptops and desk tops, Macs and PCs) and iPads, but neither of us can access from our iPhones.
When accessing the site from our iPhones (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5S), we get a “404-Page Not Found” message. Is this because I haven’t created a mobile website yet, or have I done something else wrong?
Is there a server side redirect set up to your existing mobile site as when I visited arkadaslik-yachting.com (not the trial folder) I got a mobile site.
I’m not sure if I understand your question, but my guess is yes. My old site (www.arkadaslik-yachting.com) was built using Weebly Drag and Drop tool. I didn’t have to do anything “extra” to create the mobile site - it just happened in the background.
I assume that’s what you mean by a server side redirect, but feel free to correct me if I’m off base.
Not working on my crew’s phones either, and they’ve got LGs and Samsungs. But, works fine on iPad and iPad Mini. Weird!
Maybe the problem will disappear when I eliminate the Weebly site and replace it with the new one after testing is finished. Is that possible, or simply wishful thinking?
Hi Sue,
Your existing site has a block of JavaScript in it that looks for a previously set cookie on the visitor’s machine and redirects them to the mobile site if found. I suspect all of the devices you’ve tested the new site on have this cookie. Delete the cookie from the device and reload the page and you should see your new design without getting redirected.
Regards,
Tim.

Just a quick report back. The problem disappeared as soon as I deleted the old (Weebly-built) website and replaced it with the new (Freeway-built) website. Must have had something to do with the Weebly redirect coding.
