Site Updates

Moved all remaining sites over to WordPress Mobile Pack, rather than WordPress Mobile Edition.
This was not without complications! Rights, settings, etc.
All sites with serious traffic are now running WP-Super-Cache. Page load times on Supercars-for-sale.com have dropped from “up-to-30-seconds” down to about 1 second.
Google Analytics says that traffic has picked up a bit as a result. Again, some interesting issues, and clashes with Mobile Pack.
Tweaked the WordPress Mobile Pack Templates. Created new “Mobile” Ad groups in Datafeedr, and inserted the php code into header and footer. Bingo. Mobile ad space, controlled directly within WP admin.

.. and finally, got to the bottom of the speed issues. Wassup database had 280000 records.. MBP ping optimiser something similar. Deleted the lot. Sorted. Why can’t these plugins do their own housekeeping?

Mobile Access to Websites.

Now that I can get my WordPress sites 100% functional (php safe mode off, fast cgi on), I’ve revisited the Mobile issue.

I’ve now implemented WordPress Mobile Pack on all but one of my sites (Advertising obligations on that one..)

It’s excellent. It detects your mobile device, and serves up the mobile version instead of the desktop. It even has a mobile admin theme.. There’s an option to use m.yoursite.com as well. May have to look into that..
