Fixing Mobile Template Switcher When the Home Page Uses the Wrong Template

When Mobile Template Switcher applies the mobile template everywhere except the home page, that usually means the front page is resolved through a slightly different routing or template-selection path than inner documents.

In other words, the plugin is not necessarily broken. The home page is simply being treated differently.

What to verify

• whether the start page uses a different template assignment flow,
• whether the mobile switch condition runs before or after the start page is resolved,
• whether caching leaves the home page stuck on the desktop template.

This type of bug often disappears once the switching logic is moved to the earliest reliable point in the request lifecycle and the homepage cache is cleared. The broader rule is simple: always test special pages such as the site start page separately, because they often do not behave like normal inner resources.
