WPtouch 1.9.3, iPhone 3.1 Updates

Today we’re excited that Apple has officially released OS 3.1 for iPhone  & iPod touch, bringing a few new features and several bug fixes.

WPtouch 1.9.3 was also released, and brings with it a new feature and several bug fixes as well.

In 1.9.3 you can now choose to disable Ajax comments as the default method for commenting. We think Ajax comments are great (especially on a mobile device), but they bring with them some issues, and don’t always work right on every install or with every other plugin, so we’ve added this feature as a failsafe for those who’ve been reporting issues.

Other bugs were fixed pertaining to stability and javascript, the admin, and more.

We wanted to get some of the lingering issues resolved before completing and releasing the Skins features, as well as languages support, both of which we feel we’re in the clear to add so look for those to come over the next little while.

As always you can leave feedback about any of our free, open-source WordPress plugins in our Support Forums.

    I downloaded this update yesterday. Now my Iphone 3G is totally dead. It wont turn on. Customer service told me to take it to the Apple store. Just as an FYI you may want to wait until they work the bug out.

    Does the 3.1 release fix any Safari issues that caused WPtouch issues?

    Nope, doesn’t appear to. For some reason it seems to affect active JavaScript. Not sure how to get around it, but in the early days of iPhone OS we didn’t have the issue.

    @sara: I have a 3G S, and all is well with it, been running the 3.1 betas for some time. It may be a coincidence, but I’m sure they’ll replace your phone.

    @Dale Mugford: When you say that it appears to affect active JS, what do you mean?

    hi, in my blog there are a lot of comments is therefore difficult to read with iPhone as to read the last comment you need to scroll down the bottom. Is there a way to reverse the order of reading the comments as it is in WP? thanks.

    @Example: I mean that once some javascript is triggered that utilizes native iPhone capabilities (for example mailing a link to a post) it appears to kill the active js, and only exiting mobileSafari and returning to it resets things.

  9. After upgrading to this version i get the following error on activation:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/***/html/wp-includes/http.php:1) in /home/content/***/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865

    This might be the wrong place to ask, but I’m seeing incredibly low (as in: 0%) clicks on mobile ads shown via WPtouch. Is anyone else encountering this, or am I the only one?

    You’re not alone: iPhone users stingy with their ad clicks, says study

    Can you just clarify for me – this is a front-end reading plugin -yes ?

    Does it support writing and accessing the admin area on iPhone… that would be really nice…

    thanks.

      Give it a try and find out! it’s easy to install and test WPtouch.

    I have it installed. :)

    The web admin pages are the same as normal.

    Yes, it’s not for the admin but creates a mobile theme on the front end. If you want mobile admin checkout the iPhone / Mobile Admin plugin.

    i’d like to see an option for an alias or subdomain entry, which calls the plugin wether users are on mobile phone or not.

    I’ve added 2 lines of code for this:

    if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],”mobile.”) !== false ) $this->applemobile = true;
