We’re headed off to Mexico this week, but we wanted to ship out an update to WPtouch before we left. Originally we planned on just fixing a couple bugs, but (as with most times we try to just do a little fix) we ended up making some good additions, too.

We know that some of the issues discussed in the comments haven’t quite been addressed yet, but we’re tackling them as we can, so please be patient if yours has been answered in an update yet.

What’s New?

First of all, we think we’ve tackled lingering upload issues, both to do with windows hosted WordPress sites, and mime types for images not being recognized. Next, we fixed some ugly admin styling issues, and the WPtouch looks sparkling again on IE7+, Mozilla and Webkit-based browsers. We’ve also fixed issues related to the posting of ajax comments, Links page favicons, and more. Here’s the complete changelog:

• Fixed missing mime types for icon upload through IE7
• Fixed issues related to automatic favicon generation on a Links page
• Changed footer switch links to mimic iPhone settings app appearance
• Fixed misc scenarios for ajax-upload errors
• Fixed path issues related to custom icons (sites on windows servers)
• Fixed issues related to ajax comments not working in some situations
• Added check for ‘Allow Comments’ on pages
• Fixed hidden Apache error (reported in logs)
• Fixed admin styling issues on IE7, Firefox

One More Thing…

We’ve really sexed up the footer switch link- it now mimics the iPhone/iPod touch’s settings app on/off toggle. It’s a small addition but one we should’ve implemented a long time ago, because it just seems so natural : )

To get the update, you can upgrade through the WordPress 2.5+ admin, or download here.
