I’m having an issue with the admin link. It is linking to the root rather than the proper directory… http://www.test.com/wp-admin rather than the way it should be… http://www.test.com/directory/wp-admin I know that there was an issue with this before and it was solved for many users. I checked the WPtouch.php and it does have the wpurl tag in there but it is still not working for me.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to 2.0. To solve the issue of WPtouch using pages specifically for the iPhone, and leaving an empty dummy page on my blog, I am going to edit my wp-theme to automatically remove links to these pages. :) Still in the need of a categories page guys!

@ ROBERT: It’s the same with any plugin updated through the WordPress admin- the folder for WPtouch is moved, replaced, and the the older folder deleted. It’s not something we can control.

You can upgrade manually, instead using FTP and the downloadable zip file.

Not to be ostentatious, but we do include important reminders about this on the WPtouch homepage, and in posts like this.

Everything went OK… kinda. Didn’t like how it wiped out my base icon for the site and needed to be replaced. Hope that doesn’t happen with every upgrade… otherwise 1.4 will be it for me.

Thank you. The upgrade worked flawlessly… I just moved my extra icons out to a temporary location, copied them back after doing the upgrade through the WP admin console, and everything is still working just fine :-)

I’m slightly confused about how to make up the Links and Archives pages mentioned in the options panel, but I guess that’s a WordPress thing I’ve not figured out just yet.
