The web browsing via an iPhone or an iPad itself as something different from what we can experience the type of navigation using the traditional PC. That's why it is important to have the appropriate tools to be able to optimize our web pages to mobile devices based on next-generation touch screen type (the so-called touch screen).

If we realized our website or blog using the WordPress CMS we have, fortunately, a rather simple solution that allows us to achieve the goal that we prefossati: having a blog is optimized for users who log on with your iPhone or iPad.

The "simple solution" to which I refer is offered by the plugin WPTouch who is able, once installed and properly configured, automatically create web pages using friendly touch screen interface to play very similar to that of the typical applications for IOS .

Install WPTouch

Being able to install and activate the plugin in question is not difficult. We do not have to do is go to Add New Plugins menu. At this point, just write WPTouch in the search field and click the mouse on the Search Plugins, continuing with the options and Enable Plugins Install Now. It's time to provide for the configuration. To do this we must choose WPTouch in the Settings pane.

Users have the ability to choose according to their preferences, even the fonts and colors that appear when Internet users visit the WordPress blog via their smartphones. But we see in detail the various settings that can be applied.

General Settings

WPTouch: general settings
  • Regionalization Settings: allows you to choose the language of the plugin;
  • Re-Direction Home: choose from just in case you'd like to redirect visitors to a specific page on our site;
  • Site Title: If we need we can change the name of the site;
  • Excluded Categories and Tags: options that are useful to exclude from display in the mobile version of site specific categories or tags;
  • Text Justification Options: To choose the text alignment;
  • Post Options Listings: indicates the settings for the icons in the list of articles on the mobile version of the site. We can choose to show the icon of the calendar with the date of publication of the post or the thumbnail image inserted in the article (in this case, you must have at least version 2.9 of WordPress);
  • Footer Message: to customize the message at the end of the site.
