How to make your WordPress blog iPhone compatible in just a few, quick and easy clicks!

I just found out how to make any self-hosted WordPress blog iPhone compatible. Now of course, you can view any website on the internet, but I’m talking about a format that is especially made for the iPhone, so that your blog is very easy to navigate when using the iPhone, and you don’t have to zoom in, zoom out, etc.

Here’s how to do it:

If you have a recent version of WordPress…

1. Log into your Admin area
2. Click on “Plugins” on the left
3. At the top of the page, click on the “Add new” button next to “Manage Plugins”
4. In the search field, type in “WPTouch iPhone Theme” and click the “Search Plugins” button
5. In the search results, click on the “Install” text link all the way to the right in the row for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
6. After it is installed, click “Activate”. If you don’t see the link to activate it, then click on “Plugins” on the left, scroll down the Plugins page, and click on the “Activate” text link next to the listing for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
7. Done!

If you don’t have a recent version of WordPress for your self-hosted blog (I highly suggest you update it so that you always have the latest version), then go here to download the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin, and read the instructions on how to manually install it. It’s pretty easy to do. All you have to know pretty much is how to FTP a file or folder.

After you’re done, it should look like this:
