WordPress PDA plugin enables the wordpress blog viewable for PDA and iPhone browsers. It is really simple plugin which detects the browser agent and loads a simple theme on fly. The plugin comes with a theme folder which acts like normal theme with all the functionality of wordpress theme.
The plugin doesn’t have any advanced option to control. If you want to customize you can do it with the theme files.
Installation of this plugin is simple and straight forward. Just extract the files in you wordpress plugins folder. And in the admin activate the plugin
Once you activate the plugin you will not be seeing any magic in your admin menus or any trace of this plugin :-). To see this plugin in action you have browse your site using a pda. I have installed the plugin in my blog and this is how it looks from a pda browser.
To enable your blog for pda users just download and activate 😉
Download PDA plugin for wordpress 2.x
Please note iPhone theme is still in beta testing stage. I will be working on more updates on the same soon. Please read the FAQ if you want to disable iPhone theme integration.
Thanks to Martin Loyer for adding theme language support and French Translation.
Thanks to Zombix for providing a working demo of the pda plugin
I was also thinking about how cool if the next version of iPhone would have a front-facing camera for video chatting for phone-to-phone or iPhone-to-iChat on a computer…seeing how we’re very close to truly implementing 3G here in the States.
Ohh yeah..
Thank you, your plugin has helped me a lot, exactly what I am looking!
Sweet plugin! Simple and effective. Thanks for making it
a new plugin for pda…great plugin…
Does your plugin work with FLUID (variable width) themes for WP? I have the plugin installed on all of my sites but those with a fluid theme do not display properly on the iphone view at http://viewlike.us – I don’t have an iphone to check it myself. In the mean time, I have (regrettably) switch back to a fixed width so iphone users can view the site.
I’m an iPhone guy, following all news, apps, and of course plugins related.
Hi – have you seen my mobile plugin for wordpress?
It’s called the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin – has support for every device, from a WML phone to a brand new iPhone, has dynamic image resizing and has options galore so you can really customize your mobile theme.
The URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ and it’d be great if you wanted to take a look at it! If you have any feedback please get in touch!

Does this plugin work with all version of wordpress? As I understand the iPhone version, once you upgrade it, you will need to upgrade your wordpress to the latest version too…
This seems like a great plugin. Though I am yet to try it, I am just wondering if it would also allow one to post articles on the wordpress blog on a PDA? It will really eliminate the hassle of opening up “bulky” laptops while on the move!
fantastic man
great fro iphone
Thank you for this. It is very nicely done, and works like a charm on my MDA w/WM5. My normally image-heavy site is gorgeous in Opera Mobi
well i was thinking more than this i was looking for a wml script like for wordpress which can show only for mobiles i mean not for web
This is, in my opinion, a big step forward for WordPress!

Very nice program. The Home button on the upper right seems to be bugged, but other than that it works fine.

Thanks for the great plug-in! It works perfectly on my Blackberry Curve, and almost perfectly on the iPhone (great beta). I’ve been able to slightly tweak the themes with no problem too. Awesome how it works for iPhone and ‘regular’ phones.
Great work, thanks!
Is there any chance this could be made available on normal 3G phones in the future or is this not possible? It would be really cool if it could be use on 3G phones
Sweet plugin! Simple and effective. Thanks for making it

is there an option to switsch the theme manunally? for example by refferer?
Also, being interested in web development makes aware of the issue too. Once I deleted the line of code enabling the “Home” button (since that has a bug wherein a second header gets placed underneath the first when clicked) the plugin became absolutely flawless for me and though I never think of it as being there day-to-day, I do like to know that my blog, though still not my main website, is at least properly mobile browser compatible.
Straight forward and is there whenever you want it, a wonderful plugin
