  Hi there!

  Can you confirm whether the WordPress site you’re referring to is farawaystardesigns.wordpress.com? If so, the theme you’ve activated on that site, Sketch, is responsive. This means that its design adapts based on the size of the device it’s being viewed on, so it’s optimised for mobile devices by default.

  If the way your site looks by default on mobile, then we also offer a mobile theme that you can enable via Appearance > Mobile in your site’s WP Admin:

  https://farawaystardesigns.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php?page=mobile-options

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have extra questions, or if you were looking for help with a different WordPress site.

  Thank you for your response. It’s actually a business wordpress site which is currently out of date. http://teamsnorth.co.uk . There is no option in Appearance for the mobile site as we’ve used a custom template (theme) 3yrs ago. Any help would be appreciated

  Hi there,

  This is the WordPress.COM support forum where we provide support only for blogs hosted by WordPress.com and that site is not among them. We cannot help you with it.

  teamsnorth.co.uk is hosted by RackSpace
  WHOIS
  IP Address: 162.13.4.221
  Name Servers:
  ns3.livedns.co.uk
  ns2.livedns.co.uk
  ns1.livedns.co.uk

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Thank you for explaining the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, @timethief! :)

  @farawaystardesigns: We do offer a plugin called Jetpack, which you can install to bring some of the features of WordPress.com to your self-hosted site. The mobile theme that I mentioned in my first reply is included in Jetpack:

  http://jetpack.me/support/mobile-theme/

  If you have extra questions around configuring Jetpack then the plugin’s subforums on the WordPress.org support site, which @timethief mentioned, would be the best place for you to go:

  https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  Hope that helps!
