faq:
I thought the iPhone/iPod touch/Pre/Storm/Android shows my website fine the way it is now?
Yes, thats true for the most part. However, not all websites are created equal, with some sites failing to translate well in the viewport of a small mobile device. Many WordPress sites today make heavy use of different javascript files which significantly increase the load time of pages, and drive your visitors on 3G/EDGE batty. So weve come up with WPtouch, a lightweight, fast-loading, feature-rich and highly-customized "theme application" which includes an admin interface to let you customize many aspects of your sites presentation.
Well, what if my users dont like it and want to see my regular site?
Theres a mobile switch option in the footer on WPtouch for your users with browsers that support cookies to easily switch between the WPtouch view and your sites regular appearance. Its that easy. We even automatically put a little snippet of code into your current theme which will be shown only to iPhone, iPod touch, Android or BlackBerry touch mobile device visitors, giving them control to switch between the two site themes easily.
Will it slow down my blog, or increase my server load?
Not bloody likely! Unless of course youre getting slammed with all sorts of traffic because youve installed this sexy plugin. The entire theme files footprint for WPtouch is small. It was designed to be as lightweight and speedy as possible, while still serving your sites content in a richly presented way, sparing no essential features like search, login, categories, tags, comments etc.

| Simple Twitter Connect 0.4 |
Author: Otto
Simple Twitter Connect is a series of plugins that let you add any sort of Twitter functionality you like to a WordPress blog. This lets you have an integrated site without a lot of coding, and still letting you customize it exactly the way youd like
Installation:
Upload the files to the /wp-content/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/ directory
Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
faq:
Whoa, whats with all these plugins?
The principle behind this plugin is to enable small pieces of Twitter functionality, one at a time.
Thus, you have the base plugin, which does nothing except to enable your site for Twitter OAuth in general. Its required by all the other plugins.
Then you have individual plugins, one for each piece of functionality. One for enabling comments, one for adding Login, etc. These are all smaller and simpler, for the most part, because they dont have to add all the Twitter connections stuff that the base plugin adds.
The comments plugin isnt working!
You have to modify your theme to use the comments plugin.
In your comments.php file (or wherever your comments form is), you need to do the following.
Find the three inputs for the author, email, and url information. They need to have those IDs on the inputs (author, email, url). This is what the default theme and all standardized themes use, but some may be slightly different. Youll have to alter them to have these IDs in that case.
Just before the first input, add this code:
[div id="comment-user-details"]
[?php do_action(alt_comment_login); ?]
(Replace the []s with normal html greater/less than signs).
Just below the last input (not the comment text area, just the name/email/url inputs, add this:
[/div]
That will add the necessary pieces to allow the script to work.
Hopefully, a future version of WordPress will make this simpler.
Twitter Avatars look wrong.
Twitter avatars use slightly different code than other avatars. They should style the same, but not all themes will have this working properly, due to various theme designs and such.
However, it is almost always possible to correct this with some simple CSS adjustments. For this reason, they are given a special "twitter-avatar" class, for you to use to style them as you need. Just use .twitter-avatar in your CSS and add styling rules to correct those specific avatars.
Why cant I email people who comment using Twitter?
Twitter offers no way to get a valid email address for a user. So the comments plugin uses a fake address of the twitters username @fake.twitter.com. The "fake" is the giveaway here.
When users connect using Twitter on the Comments section, theres a delay before their info appears.
Yes. In order to make the plugin more compatible with caching plugins like WP-Super-Cache, the data for a Twitter connect account is retreived from the server using an AJAX request. This means that there will be a slight delay while the data is retrieved, but the page has already been loaded and displayed. Most of the time this will not be noticable.
Why does the settings screen warn me that I dont have a URL shortener plugin?
Simple Twitter Connect does not implement a URL shortening service in favor of letting other plugins implement one for it. A shortener plugin should implement the "get_permalink" function for it to be detected.
The WordPress.com stats plugin implements this, and it provides shortlinks to "wp.me" URLs. If you wish to use another shortener plugin, tell that plugins author to implement this same standard, and the plugin will automatically be detected and used by Simple Twitter Connect.
The standard is "function get_shortlink($post_id)" where the function returns the shortlink as a string. This should be trivally easy to implement for any plugin author.
