    Hi. Exactly what does “Compatibility setting for BuddyPress Mobile AJAX support” mean? Does it mean WPtouch is now fully Buddypress compatible?

      Hi Richard,

      There was a small issue where “Activity Updates” were not automatically posted in the BuddyPress Activity page while BuddyPress-Mobile and WPtouch Pro were active. The issue is resolved in 2.6. Proper support for BuddyPress is on-going.

    Yeah, I wondered about compatibility for Buddypress. It seems not working unless it required to use BP Default theme instead different themes that supported BP. Let us know!

    Does it mean its Buddypress compatible or at least compatible with the Buddypress Mobile plugin? I need to know, because I’ve hesitated buying the Pro version as I run a Buddypress site. Thanks!

      Richard,

      Yes you’ll be able to use WPtouch Pro in combination with BuddyPress-Mobile. That’s exactly where there were improvements in this update.

    Can you describe the custom-post-type features a little more? I assume WPtouch Pro can show custom-type archives like it shows post archives, but it’s hard to tell. (http://www.BraveNewCode.com/store/plugins/WPtouch-pro/#7)

    Maybe a screenshot of the “Menus, Posts, and Pages” settings too? (http://www.flickr.com/photos/BraveNewCode/6957375987/)

      The answer is yes, Sam— we just haven’t updated the screenshots yet, lots of other things on the plate : )

    How do I upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.6.3? I see “upgrade available”. I’ve gone to the plug-ins page but don’t see any upgrade options, even the automatic version. I’ve refreshed several times. Any thoughts?
