In reply to: WP 3.2.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 AndroidWlel I have this update, I googled “The android browser doesn’t support contentEditable” and found that Firefox does support this, at least to a degree. So I installed Firefox (mobile) on the tablet and it’s better in some respects, worse in others. Finally I can insert photos, position them, size them, etc. it is really clumsy but doable.
However…I cannot add text in the text field when on the “visual” tab, I can enter it if I use the “HTML” tab. How crazy is THAT? It’s VERY clumsy but more useful than the Android browser.
When will developers realize we don’t want to use our tablets as if they were cell phones, we want to use them as we would a laptop for crying out loud.
Rev, if you’re like me and kind of serious about your blog(s) and want to use a tablet so you can blog while mobile I would do extensive research before buying one. I’m not convinced ANY of them work with WordPress and that is not WordPress’ fault.
I’m afriad there is not a tablet browser out there that can treat a WordPress blog like a pc would, which is a crying shame.
I plan to buy my wife and two kids each a tablet this year and now that I’m a bit more educated which ever maker puts one on the market that is WordPress savvy will get my money.
Cheers!

In reply to: WP 3.2.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 AndroidRev, I installed and activated that plugin (required a dev key which I recieved). That didn’t help the cause and I bet it’s nice for people trying to post using a cell phone, or for those who do not worry about text formatting or photo sizing and formatting as the text and photo formatting tools are missing, i’ts just a mess.
Dang. I wonder if iPad users have the same problem, meaning they cannot use WordPress from within a browser session and resort to using an app that is critically limited?

In reply to: WP 3.2.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 AndroidThanks Rev, I have been digging and continue to dig all over the internet. It’s weird because it is such a glaring problem and I think the issue is with Android and not WordPress. WordPress works just fine on a PC, where it fails is on Android, which suggests Android developers are not making WordPress a priority. If I cannot blog using a tablet, why own a tablet? 🙂
As I mentioned WordPress does have an Android app which is ok I guess if you must use your cell phone, but it’s so lacking and crippled that I would think it only appeals to mom and pop (amature) blogs because you cannot format photos, etc, the end result will not look very professional.
Formatting is critical to my blog and the Android app is utterly lacking in that department. And again, why use a cell phone app when you have a full sized display and full browser? To be clear I think the responsibility here is with the Android folks, I just hope someone in the WordPress world might have a solution.
Oh well.

In reply to: WP 3.2.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 AndroidAs an update I tried the WordPress app for Android, no offense but it’s simply crippled, you cannot format, position photos, etc. It might be nice if you’re on your cell phone but it useless when using a tablet.
WordPress + Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android = an epic fail I’m afraid. This is a bummer.

In reply to: GoDaddy Killed My Ability to Upload Photos@esmi, thank you.
At GoDaddy I was on a Windows server, working with the permissions was a nightmare, working with GoDaddy support was even worse. They have awesome customer service, until you have an actual problem. Once I got the picture posting problem solved I was still unable to update WP and do other things. Even worse my site started going down and timing out. My traffic was down by 50% because of this and GoDaddy kep blaming ME for the time outs.
I solved ALL my problems by leaving GoDaddy for HostGator. And I’m now on a Linux server. I am one happy blogger again.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP-Print] icons missing in Settings / PrintI installed it too and the icon does not show up. I do see the icon when I use the link above to my site, so it seems to be installed correctly. Is there a trick to making this work?
