How to edit the mobile version of a WordPress site

• Enable Remote Publishing

1. WordPress uses something called ‘XML-RPC functionality’ which allows remote publishing and is turned off by default in WordPress.
2. To enable this, go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing and check the checkbox.

• Download the App

1. For iPhone or iPad you can download WordPress for iOS from the App Store.
   There are also applications for Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone 7, Nokia and WebOS!

• Configure

1. Open the application and you’ll be prompted to configure the application – select ‘Add self-hosted WordPress blog’.
   All you have to do is enter:

• URL of your website
• Username (that you normally use for your site)
• Password

That’s it!

• What you can do.

The app allows you to

• Create and edit page content… and posts
• Add photos
• Moderate, edit, or reply to comments
• Bulk moderate comments
• Check your spelling
• On the iPhone share your location using Geotags
• Get blogging / update your website from wherever you are!

1. You’ve now got the tools to update your own site from home, work or on the bus or train. Mobile updates allow you to capture the moment (we call it ‘live blogging’) e.g. a quick update from the kitchen of a busy cafe or restaurant, or at an event such as the recent opening of Skyeworks Gallery.

• Not using WordPress or can’t update your own website?

1. WordPress is a free and open source dynamic content management system – used by millions around the world for websites and blogs.
2. We (Skyewebsites) use it for all of the sites that we develop for clients. It gives them the ability to

• update their own content – i.e. not pay a web designer for every single update that needs doing
• have a strong visual look
• have an inbuilt/integrated facility to blog and write news updates
• use fab plugins – such as galleries, forms, social media streams
• keep up to date – from a web security point of view
