Optimize Your Site for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with the BuddyPress Mobile Theme
October 12, 2010
The very first mobile theme for BuddyPress has arrived in the WordPress repository. BuddyPress Mobile, though it’s filed under plugins, is a actually a theme for your BuddyPress-powered social network.
Want to make sure your BuddyPress site looks good on mobile devices? Install the new BuddyPress Mobile plugin and your site will instantly be optimized for mobile display on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. There are no settings for this plugin. Simple install and activate it. The plugin will automatically detect when your user is visiting your site from a mobile device and will then use the BuddyPress Mobile theme.
As you can see, the BuddyPress Mobile theme is very clean and attractive out of the box, but you can also customize it to match your site by editing the files in buddypress-mobile/themes/default.
The number one reason to add a mobile theme is that it makes your site much easier to navigate for mobile visitors. If you’ve ever tried to navigate a site that is not optimized for mobile devices, you know how difficult it can be to get around. The new BuddyPress Mobile Theme makes BuddyPress social networking easily accessible for your users on the go. Give it a try and let us know your personal review.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
