Forum: WordPress Mobile App
In reply to: Can’t upload imges via iOS appHi,
This usually happens due to a connection issue between the mobile app and your site (XML-RPC / Jetpack sync).
Since uploads work fine in Safari, your server and file size are okay — so the problem is likely with the app connection.
A few quick things to try:
- Log out of the app and reconnect your site again
- Make sure Jetpack is fully connected and synced
- Try disabling and re-enabling Jetpack once
- Check if REST API is working properly on your site
Also, that “XML-RPC Disabled” message is a bit of a red flag — the app depends on it (or REST API), so any restriction there can cause media upload failures.
If nothing works, it’s likely a bug in the iOS app (especially after recent updates), since your browser upload is working fine.
Hope this helps 🙂
Hi,
Yes, I’ve seen this happen before. The WordPress mobile app sometimes doesn’t fully preserve Gutenberg block settings when you update a post.
Basically, when you open a post on mobile and hit “Update,” it can reset image alignment (center/right) back to default, which breaks the layout.
A simple workaround is to avoid editing existing blocks on mobile — just add new images at the end. Then, if needed, quickly fix alignment later on desktop.
Seems more like a limitation of the app than a setting issue.
Hope that helps 🙂
