Your new wonder-pages don't work on my iPad

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have an older iPad. Most of your new pages don’t work now. Especially the stats page. You are also not updating my wordpress app, and now the “stats” button goes to the “reader”, for some reason. Your app tells me there’s an update available, but that I can’t have it. Thanks. Do I have to buy a new iPad to use WordPress now? Is there a subsidy or grant available for people to do be able to do this?

    If you can’t use the latest WP iOS app because of older hardware, what about using a web browser? Not being an Apple product user puts me at a disadvantage here, but perhaps the latest Firefox installed on your iPad will work for you?

    In order to avoid the “new pages” you can simply bookmark your own site’s wp-admin page https://yellopigisfree.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    What I meant by “new pages” is the re-implementation of the stats page (and others). My (old) browsers show blank pages there. The “admin” page shows more limited stats.

    I live rural, so my desktop doesn’t have Internet, so I can’t use that, and the iPad’s 3G is iffy too in my neighborhood. Firefox has been upgraded also, beyond my hardware capability.

    Sorry, I’m out of ideas. Perhaps another forum volunteer can suggest something.

    Best wishes.

    Really, we can’t. I live with an iPhone 3, and the app is basically useless except for checking notifications. I do believe that the latest Safari will still work on your iPad and it will show stats. If it won’t run on your iPad, I’m afraid there’s not much you can do, assuming you’ve tried http://m.wordpress.com

    While an idea, if you have a driver’s license, why use rusty roller skates?

    Last time I accessed m.wordpress.com on my feature phone, maybe 4-5 years ago, it desperately needed love. Trying it now on my smartphone, it redirects me to the standard site. So unless Safari works, bupkes.
