WordPress and Your Mobile

WordPress has applications available for iOS, Android and Blackberry. If your phone/handheld uses one of these operating systems, you could have a site management tool right in your pocket!

To start using WordPress on your mobile device, do the following:

  1. Go to your site admin on a standard computer browser and select “Settings” > “Writing”. Check the “XML-RPC” box and save the setting.
  2. Install the WordPress application from your device’s app store (iOS, Android, BlackBerry).
  3. Launch and configure your WordPress app. Each version of the app looks a little different, but you will want to setup a “self-hosted” wordpress installation, use “wp.lps.org” as the site address, then enter your LPS login and password.
  4. Once you are this far, you will be able to choose the sites that you wish to manage from your device. Visit your application preferences to set up notifications if you have a site that accepts comments.
