WordPress PDA & iPhone

WordPress PDA plugin enables the wordpress blog viewable for PDA and iPhone browsers. It is really simple plugin which detects the browser agent and loads a simple theme on fly. The plugin comes with a theme folder which acts like normal theme with all the functionality of wordpress theme.

The plugin doesn’t have any advanced option to control. If you want to customize you can do it with the theme files.

Installation of this plugin is simple and straight forward. Just extract the files in you wordpress plugins folder. And in the admin activate the plugin

Once you activate the plugin you will not be seeing any magic in your admin menus or any trace of this plugin :-). To see this plugin in action you have browse your site using a pda. I have installed the plugin in my blog and this is how it looks from a pda browser.

Please note iPhone theme is still in beta testing stage. I will be working on more updates on the same soon. Please read the FAQ if you want to disable iPhone theme integration.

Thanks to Martin Loyer for adding theme language support and French Translation.

Thanks to Zombix for providing a working demo of the pda plugin

  8. This is rally very great feature. Now i can access all the wordpress features on my iPhone. I also had installed the plugin and I’m just wondering if there is a way to modify colors and certain layout elements.

  9. Looks like the plugin is showing some pages that are password protected and the like. Is there any way to keep the plugin from showing those at all?

  10. From my testins, I’m not sure it supports the latest wordpress 2.9.1 perfectly.

    WPtouch Version: 1.2.8 on wordpress 2.9.1 – each time you hit the ‘home’ button a extra title bar appears on the home screen on the iphone browser. In fact Every time you hit ‘home’ button you get another one added and they fill up the screen! If you refresh the page they go away, thankfully.

  11. We have WP 2.9.2 our iPhone tester reported that the links are not working on his iPhone. – anyone else has the same issue?

  12. You have some great plugins on your post. Your insight and expertise would be a welcome addition to our new community, i hope you will consider joining, and thanks for sharing!
