Malfunctioning button
-
After logging onto my WP site on my iPhone I find that tapping on the “older posts” button, instead of doing what it says like it did when I wasn’t logged in, it puts me at the top of the list of posts. What can I do to get this fixed etc. Also there are no arrows to tap that take one to the next or previous post, though they are available on my laptop. I believe they pop up when scrolling. Are they really absent from the phone etc. version? If not where are they? Grateful for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Are you using your phone’s browser or the official app (https://apps.wordpress.com/mobile/)?
Also, could you grab a few screenshots illustrating the issue and upload them to your Media Library so we can have a look? Here’s how to take a screenshot:

It seems like this will be a post replying to my own question. I wanted to reply to to the reply of the staff member but I don’t know if he will be notified. I just clicked the only reply thing I could find. Anyways…
I will try the app (if free at least) and reply again with my results. If that doesn’t work I will try my hand at taking and sending screenshots – not the greatest at that.

I got the app. The only way I find in this app to see my posts is to tap on “My Sites” at the bottom of the screen then tap on “View Site” under “External.” This lets me look at the posts and the “Older Posts” button works properly but: I don’t get any arrows or anything else that will let me jump from one post to the next or the previous, and I can not edit.
Going through Safari, which I haven’t logged out of or been logged out of, the “Older Posts” button works correctly now (for whatever reason), and I can edit, but I still get nothing to jump back and forth through posts.
If you tell me which things you want screenshots of I can try but I don’t know if I’ll succeed.

I have screenshots in Photos now but I haven’t found a way to put them in one a comment for this discussion.

How do you get to the media? On a cell phone because that’s where the screenshots are and that’s where the problem(s) I’m trying to fix are. I’ve Googled this etc. but I’m not given enough to go on.

If you’re using the browser on your phone, go to https://wordpress.com/media/writingsbyerickheins.wordpress.com to upload your screen shots.

Apparently I need step by step instruction for everything. I click the link so I can upload the screenshots & it takes me to a page with “media” highlighted on the left. But I have no idea where to go from there. Please give me step by step instructions all the way through getting the screenshots into this forum.

I should say even though Kokkieh’s post says “If your using the browser on your phone…” the link is much more helpful on my laptop. But then the screenshots are on my phone because that’s where the the arrows to skip from post to post are not showing up.
I don’t understand why no one understand what I’m talking about with the arrows. When you are on a post page where ever text from the post is written there is a circle on the left side with a < within it and a circle on the right side with a > within it. You click on the < to go to the previous post and you click on the > to go to the next post. If some recognizes these things please let me know. Maybe I can get these things (circled < and circled >) to appear on my posts on my phone as well. Why are they on my laptop but not on my phone? How do I get them on my phone. They are very helpful in reading through the posts chronologically sparing a lot of tedium.

Those buttons do not appear in the mobile view of the theme, no. But the Post Navigation section showing the titles of the next and previous posts appear in both the desktop and mobile versions and do exactly the same thing.
