Hi there,
Is there, or will there eventually be an easy way to upload photos to posts using a mobile device?
that would be our file uploader plugin… works on all mobile devices except for ios and safari due to safari lack of support of standards… but can pass along we have come up with a workaround for the safari shortcomings and it will be re-enabled in next version due out in about a week…
I’m using File Uploader with Plupload and I can’t figure out how to upload images with a mobile device in FireFox. I apologize in advance for needing some guidance on how this is done but it’s not intuitive.
From a mobile device, there’s no way to drag files into the Select files window, and the Add Files button does nothing.

Our file uploader plugin works just fine on mobiles…
Am I using the right file uploader plugin? You guys have just one, right?
As I mentioned above, the Add File button is non-responsive.
Yes, we have just one file uploader plugin. Does it work fine on desktop?
What browser are you using on mobile? Does it work in a different browser?
A non-responsive button is usually down to a js conflict of some kind. If it works fine on desktop then is it possible you’re running some kind of plugin that is mobile specific that could be interfering?

Works fine on desktop. For mobile, I discovered I wasn’t using the Add Files button correctly. It works but I have a question:
When uploading photos from mobile, is there any way to reduce the size of the photo once it’s uploaded to a pre-published post? Everything is gigantic.
Let’s step back and look at the theme issues first. What SP theme are you using for mobile? And… is your WP theme fully mobile responsive as this is really needed for things to work and scale properly.

My WordPress theme is called, Admired. This is not a responsive theme by design, which is why I have to use the WP plugin called, WPTouch Mobile Plugin.
My SP theme is called, Default 1.2.20
Sonia it’s not responsive it mayand like is driving the image size. Simple press mobile responsive themes work with responsive wp themes. WP touch enhances mobile but doesn’t make it responsive.
How do images in blog posts look?
Do.you have url to example? So we can inspect the css for sure what is driving it.
RE: Mr Papa
Actually, my forum site is only used as a forum. Blog posts are done on a separate website. Not sure if it will help but when users post images from their desktops, they look fine.
I’m open to searching for and activating a mobile responsive WordPress theme if you think that will fix the problem.
Separate website? Why? Well, not really important…
Let us know what you find… Most themes these days are responsive…

Yea, back in 2012, I gave up battling the endless issues I was having with page load times and other problems associated with having both the blog and forum on the same site so I separated them. In terms of user experience, things have improved considerably.
I’m gonna look into some responsive themes. I’m hoping that will fix the mobile image upload issue I’m having. I’ll circle back.
I found a responsive theme that fixed my photo upload issue. Please have a look and tell me what you think. 🙂
You should consider using one of our own responsive themes as well which would give a much better UI on mobiles. You can even simply use a theme on mobile while keeping your current theme on the desktop.
Take a look at our website here on a mobile as an example of just one of our responsive themes – in this case ‘Reboot’.
(If you take a look at https://simple-press.com/store/themes/ – our Standard and premium themes are all mobile ready)
