Mobile Plugins for WordPress Blogs Use Wapple Architect For Styling and Retaining The Original Look


Recently I have blogged about a WordPress plugin particularly meant to make the blogs compatible for Apple iPhones, WPtouch. I have come to know about a certain kind of another plugin which can serve the same purpose of mobilizing a WordPress blog for mobile and smart phones, but retains the same look and feel of your blog. The layout differs a bit to serve the mobile version, but the look and feel stays the same.

Using Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for WordPress blogs solves this problem by providing you an option to retain the style and layout of your blog even on mobile phones or smart phones.

Ok. But how is this different from other mobile WordPress blog plugins?

An excerpt:

    • Other mobile plugins for WordPress use a default mobile style which results in an inconsistent experience for your users, Wapple Architect Mobile plugin for WordPress retains the styling of your site from web to mobile.
    • There’s no redirection to a mobile version of the blog – URLs are exactly the same on web and mobile giving you the ability to promote and use one single domain!
    • No transcoding happens here – the mobile version is written in WAPL (an advanced mobile markup language) that results in a completely tailored solution perfect for your mobile visitors.
    • Other plugins try to replicate every single feature and plugin you’ve installed onto the mobile version. We know what mobile users want and have written this plugin with that in mind – the result is a far better user experience.

I think you would like to see a demonstration of what I am telling ya. Just follow through…

See, the layout stayed the same and a regular user who is browsing the blog through a computer or a mobile smart phone would not feel that something has changed. That something is, Layout.

  • Images are re-sized dynamically
  • SEO is retained and the URL structure is preserved helping in promoting a single domain
  • Your visitors can leave comments from their mobiles and you can turn this feature on or off
  • Your mobile specific header/footer images are re-sized on the fly

  • And more features over which you can have a look at the official plugin page

Installation Procedure

Well, it’s not just Download, Install and Activate.

The first two steps are the same but in order to activate the plugin, you need to provide Wapple Architect dev key into the control panel which you can get at Wapple Dev Key Registration.

Go ahead, use it and test this plugin over your blog and make your blog Mobile Phone friendly. Do not forget to name the plugin that you have used to make your blog mobile friendly along with URL.

    Hi,
    I do respect Rich Gubby’s work on Wapple Plugin which is certainly not easy. But Wapple plugin communicates to external server to do various tasks which I personally don’t prefer.

    I taught in a simple way.

    Why not create a mobile specific theme and have a plugin which will make sure to display this mobile theme to your mobile phone users!

    So I created IamMobiled Mobile Plugin and Blue Heart Mobile Theme

    Here are some key features:
    1) Comes with a mobile theme “Blue Heart”
    2) Automatic mobile detection
    3) Images are optimized for mobile view
    4) Make money through integrated ad system.
    5) Optimized for touch screen phones
    6) Mobile users can even leave comments
    7) Mobile users can search for contents.

    Please check it out and let me know your feedback and suggestions at haress@iammobiled.com
