The plugin also allows specific themes for specific devices / mobile browsers, such as iPhone, Opera Mini, Windows CE Mobile and other generic handset browsers. The plugin also allows WordPress theme developers to create custom mobile themes for WordPress blogs using the MobilePress plugin. Therefore, theme designers can create specific iPhone themes or generic themes. Think of MobilePress as an enabler for WordPress on mobile. MobilePress also features Mobile SEO which detects Google and Yahoo mobile search bots. These mobile search bots will see the mobile version of you blog which allows your blog to optimized and indexed on Google and Yahoo mobile search. == Installation == 1. Upload the mobilepress directory to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. If you are using a caching plugin (ie, wp-supercache), clear your cache now. 4. If you plan on using custom themes, or wish to specify a custom title/description for your mobile blog, you can set these in the MobilePress admin panel. 5. That's it, you're good to go! == Config & Settings == Once successfully installed, you will be presented with a few options. = Blog Title = Changing this will replace the title of your blog, when being viewed from a mobile device. So, instead of "My cool blog", you could replace it with something like "My mobile blog". This will not affect your site when being viewed from a regular web browser. = Blog Description = This is the same as changing your blog title, but will modify your blog's description instead. = Force Mobile Site = This option will force your site to be rendered for mobile, regardless of where it is being viewed from. Regular web browsers will see the mobile version. = Treat iPhone as a web browser? = = Treat Windows smartphone as a web browser? = = Treat Opera Mini as a web browser? = Setting this to yes will disable mobile rendering when being viewed from the abovementioned devices. Leaving it set to no will then treat the devices as mobile browsers and display the mobile theme instead. == Frequently Asked Questions == = What's the point? = Up until the release of MobilePress, there has been no plugin that offered the ability to render a WordPress Blog on a mobile device, while at the same time giving you, the user, the ability to use a well-designed theme. Plugins exist, but, at best, they contain sneaky ads and backlinks and are not all together well written. = I am a theme designer - what do I do now? = Using the exact same structure that you would for regular WordPress theme, you can design a theme geared for mobile devices. Once you're happy with it, upload it to your '/wp-content/plugins/mobilepress/themes/' directory. It will then appear in the theme selector (for MobilePress). By default, when you select a new theme, you will be changing the theme that gets rendered for a _generic_ mobile device. We have built in 3 extra categories, namely, iPhone, Opera Mini & Windows CE. What this allows you to do is specify custom themes for these browsers/devices. This gives designers the ability to design a theme that uses AJAX/jQuery/etc and target only devices which are capable of rendering it. You can, of course, simply set the same theme across the board, if you wish. == Screenshots == Screenshots are available at: [MobilePress.co.za](http://mobilepress.co.za)
