UPDATE: Before anything else ... Once again, I found out (after publishing the tutorial) that these methods won't work on WA hosted sites. Most likely you'll get a 403 connection error ... Meaning WA won't allow the connection ... But if you have sites hosted elsewhere they could be very useful ...

So ...

A few weeks ago I already showed you how to install Wordpress on your computer using WAMP.

If you haven't seen it yet, here it is:

I've decided to "improve" a bit the original concept ... I found a method that will allow you to use the same local Wordpress installation both at work and at home!

So yesterday I published a short tutorial to show you how can you install Wordpress on a USB stick using XAMPP, so you can use your local Wordpress installation on any computer ...

Here it is:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-install-word...

Now I'll push the idea even further ...

Today I will show you how to install & use Wordpress on your iPhone and iPad ... and on Android ...

So ...

There are great ideas for content everywhere ...

And there are WordPress apps for iOS & Android that will allow you to run your site without losing mobility.

They will allow you to take photos, to record & upload videos, or to write posts while sitting in a train or bus, walking around, or hanging out with friends.

In other words, you can take your Wordpress site with you in your pocket!

And needless to say, these Wordpress apps are designed to be mobile- and touch-friendly ...

It is true that you can open your WordPress admin area in a mobile browser, but the problem is that WordPress admin area does not have an optimal interface for smaller screens. On the other hand these Wordpress apps are made for iOS & Android devices so the interface is designed to be more touch and small-screen friendly.

As your blog or site grows, you would want to stay in touch to see if there is a new comment that needs approval or a new order on your eCommerce store.

Well, just follow my tutorial and you'll be able to perform all these tasks without sitting on your desk or using a PC.

Ready?

Let's do this ...

I tried to log in the Wordpress app on my iPad. There are three options to log in, using email, google or entering your site. So I chose log in by entering your site. It shows error 403... dunno why? :(

Thanks for your feedback Silas!

It seems that WA won't allow these connections. As I said in my tutorial I've tested these methods on sites hosted outside of WA ...

Shame :(

I'll have to update the tutorial ...

The WP app does not work with WA hosted sites. You can still manage your site via web browsers on your iPad. I use Firefox.
