Hello,

I'm using WordPress.org and BlogoLife 1.9 Theme by WpLook and WP IOS 2.9.

From my iPad 2, I can connect to Dashboard and do everything I want, except one thing.

On web site, Menus can be re-organize using Drag & Drop, as Widgets. But on iPad, it's seem impossible to re-organize Menus by Drag & Drop. In options screen, nothing to allow you to move Menus, like in Widgets's options screen where you got Accessibility mode.

So, which issue can I find ?

Is that a problem from my Theme ? from WP for IOS ?

Thanks for your help.

It's most likely a limitation of the Safari browser on iOS.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

In this case, how can I do ? It's quite bad to be able to work on iPad and don't finish job because of this. I can't have access to my computer anytime, everywhere.

Are you sure is not a problem from WP for IOS ? It got it's own browser built in, I think.

Any solution ?

I'm happy to help. From what I can tell, lots of people don't know about this helpful plugin.

It should probably be called "Drag & Drop on iPad" rather than "Touch Punch" - but it's good that it's there.

Enjoy!

Sounds great, but when I try to download I get message, 'open in icab mobile then 'unable to open file. Why? It seems I am EXTREMELY limited to what I can do on my iPad regarding WordPress. Is there a book or Manual I can refer too?

Thanks for the tip. This plug-in now allows me to edit my sites on my iPad without having to go to a computer.

@ jessielandsel.. I don't think it will allow you to install it if you go to the webpage of the plug-in. Clicking on the Download button will not install it. You will need to log into your account's dashboard from the Safari browser > click on Plugins > click on Add New > type Touch Punch in the search query > then click on Install Now once Touch Punch appers in your search.
