WordPress Mobile Plugin

How do you make sure any visitors to your WordPress blog that are browsing on a mobile phone get the mobile version of your blog rather than the web version. Simple - install a mobile plugin!

The best mobile plugin around is the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for Wordpress and it’s easy to setup!

First of all, you need to install it (you can find it by searching for “wapple” in the Add new plugins page - or download it!) and once you have and activated it, you’ll need a dev key from Wapple to make it work.

When you have your dev key - head over to the Wapple Architect settings page in the WordPress dashboard and enter it in the appropriate field. Congratulations - you’ve now mobilized your blog!

Settings

There are plenty of configuration settings for you to play with and they are all grouped in tabs on the settings dashboard. You can specify mobile specific titles and descriptions, upload a mobile logo (that dynamically gets resized to fit the visiting handset perfectly), configure your mobile SEO settings, allow commenting from mobile and much, much more!

The last tab is labelled “Theme” and it’s this area that makes this plugin really stand out from all the other mobile plugins.

Firstly, the style that has been created on your web theme is carried across to mobile (minus any un-needed images) so colours and fonts are consistent, then the mobile stylesheet that you can edit in the plugin dashboard gives you the ability to configure any element on the page. Want the blog post header to be slightly bigger? Simple - just edit the class in the mobile stylesheet! Add all of this to the mobile logo you can upload and you can really make your blog look amazing on mobile!
