Problem with "Tap To Load" feature

    In setting up this plugin, I noticed that most everything functions properly, except the “Tap to load more articles” function. In the preview mode, when I click on this function, it properly adds more links and associated graphic thumbnail (very cool). If I click only on the blog post links initially displayed, they open with the correct format.

    However, if I click on any of the links that are appended to the original list, they revert back to the original formatting as seen by a PC. This is repeatable. Then, once the original format is displayed, there is no way back to the WPSmart format.

    This behavior is even more pronounced and erratic in the two additional themes you provide, making them unusable for me. Hopefully, this will be corrected soon in an update. In the mean time, thanks for this excellent plugin.

    Hey birdog,

    We’ll take a look and see what the issue is for sure! Could you tell me the URL of the WordPress site that has the plugin enabled on it so we can see repeat the issue to get a better understanding of it?

    Thanks,
    Henry

    Thank you Henry for your kind response and offer to test my site. I’ll supply a URL pending the answer to the following: As mentioned in the first post, my report is based exclusively on the “Preview” feature in the WP-Admin pages. I do not always have a phone to test my site, so I must rely on the Preview mode.

    So my question is: How accurate is the “Preview” feature in the admin page? Or, is it possible for the bug/glitch to be in the “preview” mode, but function differently on the actual device requesting the pages?

    For me, the accuracy of the Preview feature is critical to any decisions I might make in the settings. For example, I really wanted to use one of your optional themes, but they proved to revert back to the original theme far more often than the default when I tested them in Preview mode.

    Anyway, I would appreciate some info on the Preview feature (which is so cool). If you believe that the “Preview” feature is absolutely accurate as a test platform for an actual device, I will post a URL for you to test. Of course, the priority is for the WPSmart plugin to properly serve the devices. But, without the preview feature, I am only guessing.

    Thank you for your excellent work and a wonderful plugin.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I am using WP 3.7.1; I don’t use any cache plugins; no security plugins; no e-commerce; my site is free of intrusive plugins…thanks in advance.

    Hey birdog,

    The preview mode is aimed at showing you as accurately as possible the look-and-feel of your site as if it were on a mobile device itself. However, at the end of the day it is an emulation, so if there’s an inconsistency in the preview mode, it’s not a guarantee that the same inconsistency will exist on the device itself. With that being said, there shouldn’t be any glitches in the preview mode and it should function nearly identically to the site on a device — the “Tap to load more articles” should function exactly as it does on the device itself. If it’s not then we’ll have to take a look and see what the issue is. Could you also please let me know what kind of browser you’re using (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc) as well as the type of Operating System you’re running (Mac OS X, Windows, etc), and we’ll take a closer look.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for clarifying my query about the accuracy of the Preview feature. I understand that an emulation could behave differently than an actual mobile device. To be clear on my end, the “Tap To Load” feature tested in Preview mode functions perfectly. But the APPENDED list of links displayed on the Preview device will open the original, unmodified site every time. The original list do not do this.

    I also noticed that, when clicking on any new link displayed below the original list that is loaded after you click the Tap To Load more links, the original site appears in the Preview device in the login mode. In other words, at the top of the unmodified site I see the WP Dashboard strip at the top of the original site format, like what you see when previewing a post. May be that is a clue.
