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.
To enable your blog for pda users just download and activate 😉
Download PDA plugin for wordpress 2.x
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
This is a very useful plugin. I also found some other useful plugins on this site called http://www.iphonenewsvault.com. Take a look at it.
It is nice to got tool helping you while you take a nap. PDA and iPhone are the future.
Without option for blog to be viewable for PDA and iPhone browsers, chances for blog to be successful are too few. This plugin is great help to that direction.
thx for your plugin,..
regards,
I added ipod and another code inserted but it didnt show iphone theme. It looks the same as I would see on Windows Mobile browser. I am using iPod touch not iPhone.
Works well with wordpress 2.6 !. Its a must have !
Hey Imthiaz, this is great, it even works with 2.6.. just one question, since there is a “theme” to display on PDAs, Can I edit it as usual?
thanks again

Thanks for this great plugin! understand UTF-8. This plugin looks great with my phone! However, it doesn’t recognize the iPod Touch. I added it to the agent list, but the website that gets passed to it is the one for cell phones, not the same one as the iPhone. The browser agent is “iPod”. http://garmin-gps.greencp.com Take a look at it.
Thanks for this plugin. i am downloading it rigth now 😉

Great Plugin! Installed it on http://www.i-shin.de. Works fantastic!
thanks for links very nice good site thanks
It’s a pretty nifty app but it has room to grow and get better.
Thank you for this great plugin. It works pretty darn good on my phone. It took some searching to find a program to do this correctly.
I am using this Plugin for servicing mobile connections and is is working out Perfectly. I would however like to include an Exclude in this PDA Theme/Plugin for a particular Plugin I am uing from GDragons (Star Rating) which provides a rating on the Desktop Based Site. Anyone able to advise on how to add an Exclude for a Particular Plugin by adding it this Plugin’s Pages? I am not a heavy duty Coder but can make my way around.
Thanks for this nice plugin. It has been installed on http://www.linuxphone.ru/
Just got your plugin, and can’t seem to get it to work. I’m on version 1.2.6… installed according to the plugin manager thing in WP, but when I browse the site with my phone I just get a cut down version of my site… nothing like the pretty screen shots you have. Any chance you could have a look for me. I also run http://www.patternsofphysicaltransformation.com which also has the same problem (plugin installed, but iPhone browsing just looks like vanilla template… no funky iPhone skin.)
Thanks in advance for your time. If you need any further help debuging, then just drop me a line.

Thank you for this. It is very nicely done, and works like a charm on my MDA w/WM5. My normally image-heavy site is gorgeous in Opera Mobile
Thanks for this plug-in. I’ve installed it, and it seems to work great. Am looking forward to how this plug-in develops in the future, especially with the iPhone/iPod Touch component. Would like to have mobile users be able to switch to/from the mobile version and regular version of the site.
i’m using alex king’s wp-mobile plugin in combination with your pda theme. the combination of both suited my purpose better since i wanted my site to work on EVERY mobile device. i haven’t tested on all devices of course, but loads as wanted on sony ericsson, nokia, palm, opera mini and nintendo ds. i edited the theme as well, check it out. i’m linking you both.

Hi, I’m not seeing my website correctly after I upgraded my BlackJack 2 to Windows Mobile 6.1. Is the plugin not compatible with 6.1?
By far my most favorite plugin.
Works out of the box with zero configuration.
Looks great on anything I load it on!
algarcia, I almost forgot to check my NDS.
