Title: Android/iPad editing Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Android/iPad editing * [bassick19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bassick19/) * (@bassick19) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/) * Hi again. i have the plugin installed and everything works very well from my laptop and desktop. * My plan was to be able to edit records via a mobile device. But I am not able to touch inside the cells of a row to edit anything. The row turns “blue” and the cell turns “purple” as it normally does on my Laptop. But I am not able to change any cell values. Ive tried it from my android phone as well as from my iPad. * I’ve installed the WordPress android app and tried editing records from there to no avail. Ive also just logged in to WordPress from a browser on both the android phone and iPad and was not able to edit. * Is this a limitation of the plugin? Thank you again for any help. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-table-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-table-editor/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [bassick19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bassick19/) * (@bassick19) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7157900) * Oh. I am able to do “sorts” or “searches” from the very top row of each column from my mobile devices. I am just not able to edit cells. * Plugin Author [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * (@bobbysmith007) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7157979) * I havnt tried to do much on mobile devices, and any limitations here are likely slickgrid (the underlying spreadsheet software). That said I was able to double tap on a cell in chrome on my android to activate editing. * Hopefully this works everywhere and is sufficient 🙂 * Thread Starter [bassick19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bassick19/) * (@bassick19) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7157989) * Thx for responding. I tried on Chrome and Chrome Dev with no success. * I have a Samsung S5 Active. What phone and version of Chrome let you edit cells? * This is the code that I added for my table: * if(function_exists(‘add_db_table_editor’)){ add_db_table_editor(array( ‘title’ =>’Order By Last Name’, ‘table’=>’votertable’, ‘sql’=>’SELECT * FROM votertable ORDER BY Voters_LastName ASC’ )); } * Plugin Author [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * (@bobbysmith007) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7158000) * I have a sony xperia Z2 with the normal app store chrome on vanilla Android 5.1.1. I might try to install firefox or something. * Just to verify, you can edit cells on your desktop right? * Plugin Author [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * (@bobbysmith007) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7158002) * Ok i cant edit in firefox, so at least I have a basis for testing.

I can edit very well on desktop and laptop. * I can’t edit on Android Internet Browser, iPad Safari, Chrome, CM Browser…none of my mobile devices.

I’d like to know if you think it’s possible to fix this bug. If so, I could make a donation because I’d really like to use this plugin. No other plugin I’ve come across is laid out as simple as this as far as editing. * Plugin Author [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * (@bobbysmith007) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7158060) * I will look into this next week. I have a heavy work load currently, but your kind words and a donation are likely to help me get to this rapidly 🙂 * Talk to you on Monday * Plugin Author [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * (@bobbysmith007) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7158079) * The problem definitely exists with the underlying software,which has no intentions of supporting touch devices :/ I activated jquery-ui-touch-punch which is supposed to help, but i still cant quite get the click to edit working. looking at a custom event handler * [https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/issues/156](https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/issues/156) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Android/iPad editing’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-db-table-editor.svg) * [WP-DB-Table-Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-table-editor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-table-editor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-db-table-editor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-db-table-editor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-db-table-editor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-db-table-editor/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [bobbysmith007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbysmith007/) * Last activity: [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/androidipad-editing/#post-7158079) * Status: not resolved
