WPtouch 1.9.8 Released
Feb 8 2010 • Written By Dale Mugford • 56 Comments

We pumped out a bug fix and maintenance release this morning February 8th which aimed to fix a couple of nagging issues facing some of our users. Considering the breadth with which WPtouch is installed and used, it’s no wonder there’s a couple issues.

Even if you’re not having any trouble you should update anyways, no harm done in doing so.

Issues covered in this release are:

  • Fixed an undefined function error
  • Stopped GigPress CSS from loading in the header when it’s not enabled
  • Fixed error where Icon Upload would fail in admin
  • Updated Ajax Upload script to v3.9

    I have 2 sites hosted by dreamhost each on the same server but installed to different locations. each has it’s own WP blog. I have installed WPtouch on both and for a short time they both worked now one works and the other doesn’t. (BTW these are new so they have no real content…)

    The first seems to work fine. but the second shows only the desktop site. It has the switch to mobile button at the bottom of the page but it doesn’t change it. Help…

    There is a little blue block in the footer to the left of the “Powered by” language as if a flash object is on the page? I don’t have flash on the site. Is this something that WPtouch is creating?

    Sure did NOT work for me. I get: “Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string…..” when browsing to site with my IPhone.

      The file causing the error is in wp-includes/general-template.php.

      That’s not our file. Try deactivating other plugins one by one and see if the error gets resolved. It could be another plugin.

            I am having the same issue.

            Error message is:

            “Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/samsmojo/public_html/wp-includes/general-template.php on line 513″

            This is very strange as the plug-in was orinally working for me but now stopped.

              More info..

              I can view posts, category pages, etc on my iPhone in the WP Touch theme if I type in the URL. But when I click on ‘home’ or type in just my URL: http://samsmojo.com it comes up with the error message.

              Seems like a pretty simple error.

              Can you help please?

              Thanks,

              Sam

                We prefer to provide support @ BraveNewCode.com/support. Can you post about the issue there? That way everyone can benefit from the answer in one spot ;)

    Could you maybe let the “Mail” field in the comments default to the Email keyboard layout on the iPhone? This is quite simple to do and would improve usability…

    Please see this post for details:

    I love your plugin WPtouch. However I was wondering if later you could make support for custom fields which hold videos. My site is a video site and the theme we use requires us to enter the embed code through the use of custom fields. on WPtouch they do not show up. I wanted to know if you could enable support for that.

    Thanks for the awesome app and upgrades. I tested my site against some other news sites. CNN is faster by about 2-4 seconds for 3G access. We’re averaging 7-10 seconds a page, using dates not thumbnails.

    We beat Washington Post, CBC, and CBS. Very impressive.

    Any chance you are working on larger fonts when the phone is turned horizontal. Age challenged people find the font small. CNN and Washington Post have that small/turn larger font feature.

    Thanks again.

      Speedy probably intercepts the JavaScript and breaks it. Contact the developer of that plugin and let him know.

    Hey Guys, Great plugin!! I love it. I do have one question. I currently run with The “Fixed Social Buttons” plugin as well. Is there any way to disable the “fixed social buttons” in the WPtouch interface? I’d rather only see the buttons on the non-mobile theme. I know it’s not your responsibility to support other plugins, but I’ve got to try right?

    I’m having issues uploading the custom-icons. It says that it will create the folder for me, but I get:
    There seems to have been an error.
    Please try your upload again.
    The text says “If an upload fails (usually it’s a permission problem) create the folder yourself using FTP and try again.”. Where does it WANT the folder to be, so I can create it myself and fix the permissions?
