I have a wordpress blog and I recently posted an interview. The person I interviewed said that the text is really hard to read on his iphone but on a laptop it’s different. How can I rectify this?

The theme you’re using isn’t really optimized for mobile devices.

I recommend activating your mobile theme at Appearance -> Mobile in your blog’s Dashboard.

What version of iOS is he running, and what kind of iPhone?

Hello, I still haven’t heard back from him but someone else said that when they viewed it on their iphone the font is a little difficult to decipher in parts, especially when it’s full capitals and said it’s the italics’

What font is iphone compatible etc?

I’d appreciate your help. Many thanks

There shouldn’t be much of an issue. Can you ask these folks for a screenshot, then upload it via Media -> Add New in your Dashboard so we can take a look?

You can take a screenshot on an iphone by pressing Home and Power at the same time.

Thank you. I will send the screenshot that he sent me about three weeks ago.

I haven’t received a screenshot yet. Did you email it or upload it via Media -> Add New?

Howdy,

Could you please try uploading the screenshot at its normal size?

The file that you uploaded is very small.

I’ve managed to upload the screenshot.

Thank you

That’s very odd. What sort of browser is that? It’s definitely not Mobile Safari.

This what it looks like on an iphone/ipad. The person I interviewed sent me that screenshot, and said it’s really hard to read but on a laptop it’s different.

When I visit your blog in an iPhone, the entire site shows up in that font. I see that you’ve connected a Typekit account to your site. Would it be possible for you to disconnect that temporarily?

You can do this via your Appearance -> Custom Design -> Fonts page. Just let us know once you’ve done this.

I’ve just disconnected it, and if it helps with the iphone appearance I’m quite happy for it to stay disconnected.

Thanks

Ah, it looks like we found the culprit :) Your website is displaying normally for me in the Safari app on my iPhone — you can see the screenshot here.
