[…] mobile side of this website, and came back to my original plugin, but with the latest version 1.3: WordPress Mobile Plugin by Andy Moore. The interface has improved greatly with this newest edition, including a lot of […]

Hey Andy!
Love the plugin so far, but I’m having difficulty posting articles with the phone. I am using a Verizon LG enV2 and posting to either a WordPress MU 1.3 or WordPress 2.5 blog and getting the same results.
Basically, I type in all my information, hit submit, and it bounces me right back to where I started without posting anything. Based on what I’m reading in the code, it seems as though the script does not detect the $_POST values, skipping over the `if(isset($_POST[’submit’])){` and heading straight to the `}else{` on line 220.
Yet, I am able to send emails with Gmail and Hotmail and also able to Twitter. I presume this means my phone is capable of delivering HTTP Post data, so I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Thanks for any additional information you can send my way. Also, will you be incorporating tags soon?

Additional information: using the dotMobi mobile phone emulator, I got a “null” instead of a post content window:

Minus the point about posting, how does it behave on MU?
Tags kinda were added but they gave me a headache, it’s the way WP treat categories as tags if there are very few or no tags. I’m planning to put support for tags in version 1.4
I’ve not actually ran any of the output of 1.3 through ready.mobi yet no doubt a good sniff in the code and a bit of digging will turn up some answers.
It’s odd that it’s not doing the post right, odder still the emulator nulls on the textarea. I’ll take a little time to check that out when I can.

The only way this plugin works in MU is to install it into the /plugins directory and activate it for each individual blog. It doesn’t work for any but the main blog if you install it in the /mu-plugins directory. So, I changed the code where it sets defaults so that the defaults are what I want them to be, ripped through each blog and activated. Works beautifully:

dragonflyeye.net/carlapalumbo
I’m going to continue playing around with it and see if I can figure out what’s wrong with posting. I had the same problem on a different phone with the 1.2 version of the plugin. I have another domain I can use as a test bed. I’ll report back if I find anything useful.

Hey Andy, i’m tried to install the 1.3 version, but when i’m click in Activate, Wordpress say it “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
The version 1.2 run awsome but 1.3 give me this problem.

Can Google Adsense be put on wordpress blogs? As per the terms, there is no way that a wordpress blog can be monetized. Is this correct?

No, it’s not correct, I’d even go so far as to say it’s bollocks!
