Having asked Twitter last night which mobile plug in I should use for this site the unanimous response was WPtouch. Note when I say unanimous here I mean that every one that responded said WPtouch – not the whole of the Twitter world, most of who do not follow me anyway – just in case I confused you there, which I know I probably didn’t 🙂
Anyway I tested the plug in on a different site and it seemed to work out of the box so I have now activated it directly on trefor.net. If you are reading this post from a mobile device I’d be grateful for any feedback.
I was prompted to install this plug in as a result of a comment received during last month’s world record attempt. I also took on board the need to have individual buttons for Facebook Likes, G+ etc. These come from the Social Sharing Toolkit plug-in, now active here and which has replaced AddToAny. Looks like quite a handy plug in that one.
There is one more tweek I need to make and that is to replace the separate “most commented” and “recent posts” widget in the right hand sidebar with a single one that has tabs to select those with a further “most visited” tab added in for good measure. So far I’m to happy with the one I’ve found to that one will need a bit more work.
Y’all have a nice day now 🙂

I’ve just tried switching user agents (to an iPod) in FF and it didn’t work for me – other mobile sites detected things and switched to mobile successfully.
I’ll try my phone when I can.
Nope – Android phone not working either…
I take it it works for you when you tested it?
Works beautifully for me!
I have tried this on an iPhone 4 but it is still showing up as the desktop site.

I’m glad it’s not just me!
Android phone, iPad and switching user agents all just give me the normal site.
Tried again today and now works a treat on iPhone. Was the config changed?

I use the same Social Sharing Toolkit plugin on my own blog, but it does lack a ‘share on facebook’ button, which is a shame really. I can’t help but think there is a technical reason for it, but am yet to find a nicer alternative.
