  How do I get WordPress for iPad? Do I just get the app that’s on WordPress.org? Whenever I click on “download” to try to get that, it says “invalid address” and says Safari cat read it. What do I do? Thanks for any help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The error message that pops up is “Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.”

  Is this what I should be trying or is there another place to get the iPad app? Or is it even possible to get an iPad app to work with a WordPress.com blog? Sorry for all the questions—I just can’t figure it out!

  Hi there – if you go to http://get.wp.com/app on your iPad you should be directed to the download page.

  Here’s the direct link to the iTunes download: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpress/id335703880?mt=8

  Please let me know if either of these works for you.

  I tried both of your links, Kathryn, but neither of them work (same error message). :'(

  You might want to take a look at some of these Safari troubleshooting ideas:

  You can also try opening iTunes directly (i.e. not through Safari) and searching for the WordPress app there.

  I reset Network Settings (the suggestion on the first link) but that didn’t work. The second link is for an iMac (desktop), right?

  Where would I search for WordPress in iTunes? Under what category? If I just search the word all that comes up are podcasts, tutorials…

  It’s in the category Social Networking. This is the ID number: id335703880.

  If you continue to have trouble with Safari on your iPad you might want to post in one of those Apple support forums.
