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 Zombix for providing a working demo of the pda plugin

  1. I;m currently using it now and share it with my friends too. This is really great, I’m sticking on this one because you can customize it easily.

  2. This great little app will covert your wordpress blog into fully featured mobile pages for iPhone Pentru ca mai intra oameni de pe mobil pe aici si pluginul ofera o interfata simplificata. Utilizatorii de aifon, nu v-am uitat, aveti un cadou in footerul blogului

  3. 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 Pluginā€™s Pages? I am not a heavy duty Coder but can make my way around.

  4. Hey! This is a very nice plugin. Easy to install and deploy.

    I found that if you use WP Super Cache Plugin with this, you’ll get an error while browsing through your mobile phone.

    Could you please fix this glitch?

    Cheers!

  5. Hey Imthiaz, this is great, it even works with 2.6.. just one question, since there is a ā€œthemeā€ to display on PDAs, Can I edit it as usual?

  6. Can this be used for other sites not running on WordPress? Imthiaz, have you thought of creating a html to wml / wireless web converter for regular html sites outside of WP.

  8. Thanks for this plug-in. Iā€™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.

  10. Looks like a cool plugin, peyzaj however, I cannot get it to work with iPod touch. Shows up correctly on my SonyEricsson phone but on iTouch I get the ā€œnormalā€ wordpress theme.

  11. add iPod as a user agent for the iPod Touch in the list. This can also be done in WordPress, in the plugin prefs.

  12. I am getting the mobile theme displayed on my PC, and my users are complaining to. What should I do?

    I have Super Cache installed. Maybe that causes the issue? And if so, is there a fix?

  14. 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.
