Thanks for the suggestion. I've created a ticket for the enhancement for your reference. Closing this topic for now.

flynnspaws on "Requesting Comment for Posts"

Hello:

I am requesting a "Comment" function for "Posts" via the WordPress for Android app. Currently, there are only four graphic icons/functions on the bottom of each clicked "Post" - "Delete" (far left) and "View", "Share" and "Edit" (from middle to the far right).

I don't want to submit a NEW Comment on a published post via the "Mobile Site" or the "Full Site". I want to submit a NEW Comment on an published post via the WordPress for Android app. Currently, the only way I could submit a "Comment" is by replying to an already existing "Comment" via the "Comments" section of the Android app. Thank you.

vinceho12 on "Authors Can't Edit Comment via App"

vinceho12 — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:42:02 +0000

I have tested this with both a WordPress.com and self hosted account with the same issue. My Authors cannot edit comments via the app (this is possible with the desktop version of WordPress). It seems only the Administrator can edit comments via apps. Via app, Authors can see their own posts, but not comments.

Why can't Authors access comments via the app to their own post? Is there some settings I need to configure to allow this? Thanks.

This app has some inexplicable behaviors which are maddening & totally illogical & counter intuitive. For example, if you write a post and try to save it to drafts or publish it & the upload fails, the app, as it should, saves the text you wrote. But if you do the same with a comment and the upload fails it doesn't save the text and the comment disappears. So why would anyone use this app to publish comments? You wouldn't & shouldn't.

If the app can save a post & not lose it if the upload fails how difficult would it be to do the same for comments that fail to publish?

Also, I just attempted to publish a post I’d written using the app. I was in 3G mode with three full bars & the upload failed twice (even in Draft). Then I tried switching to WiFi connection to see if a stronger connection would allow the upload to work. At that point I got a message saying an app was trying to share media files I have no idea why this happened), the entire Droid shut itself down, & when I turned it back on & went back into the WP app, the entire post I’d been writing went up in smoke.

I don’t understand why you can’t have an autosave feature that saves all posts, comments, etc. on the Droid's hard drive until they’re successfully uploaded. That way, if anything like either of these failures happened no data would be wiped out.

I rated the app 1 star & noted in my review the weaknesses of this app. Needs massive improvement.

That didn't work either... But (and I don't know why I didn't think of this before) I've sorted it by deleting my blog from the app on my phone and then re-adding it - well, it's removed the offending comments that refused to be deleted before, at least, which is fine for the moment! I guess the test will come when I *do* get a new comment and then try deleting it from the app.

Thanks so much for your help and suggestions!

Dan on "XMLRPC Fault (code 403) - moderating comments"

Maybe try creating another admin account and see if it has better luck moderating from the app?

adrianhorsewood on "XMLRPC Fault (code 403) - moderating comments"

adrianhorsewood — Fri, 20 May 2011 22:13:17 +0000

I *did* think to try that...! Yes, I am an administrator of the blog - I've got no problems moderating and approving/deleting comments via the Dashboard.

Dan on "XMLRPC Fault (code 403) - moderating comments"

Dan — Fri, 20 May 2011 22:11:01 +0000

Sounds to me like you aren't allowed to moderate comments on the site :)

Are you an admin of the blog?

adrianhorsewood on "XMLRPC Fault (code 403) - moderating comments"

adrianhorsewood — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:39:24 +0000

I'm having problems with approving/deleting comments from the Wordpress Android app (HTC Desire, Android 2.2) - every time I try to do this, I get the message:

'Connection Error
XMLRPC Fault: You are not allowed to moderate comments on this site. [code 403]

I've got the XML-RPC setting checked in the 'Writing Settings' section of my settings. What am I doing wrong??

mubumba on "Issue with accents"

mubumba — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:44:20 +0000

Sorry but I must reopen this issue.

I use Wordpress on my personal site (on hosting) and I have the same issue too in articles' writing. So it's not related to comments. I have installed Wordpress on release 3.0.1 and specifically with italian release. If I comment the specific lines of encoding on my wp-config.php I could upload my articles using accents letters (but during the view I couldn't read it later), but if I let the original php-config.php with encoding set to UTF-8, every new post or comment, is truncated just before the accent letter.

So it's after my upgrade to Wordpress 3.0.1. In past times I just used Wordpress for Android successfully.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for all your support

Sorry to come back late.

But good news .. now with the last version 1.3, with the new editor, downloaded today, the issue is solved.

A very good news for the european languages (german, spanish, french, ...)

@xtmedia - I never received a test account. Would you be willing to create one so that we can take a look at the issue on your site directly?

xtmedia on "Issue with accents"

xtmedia — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:31:51 +0000

I have the same problem, the minute I'm posting with an accent, that character and anything else after is deleted. I noticed that german have the same issue with their umlaut.

Was the bug found? My blog must be properly configured to allow accents has I have been able to post in French from the web interface but not from android because of this issue (as it creates incomplete posts). It is a self hosted blog at blog.xtmedia.net.

Thanks in advance!

Dan — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:28:13 +0000

Do you get the 'application not responding' message?

palik on "app freezes on comments list refresh"

palik — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:10:50 +0000

every time i got new comment and go to moderate queue app is refreshing comments - that's normal, but at every refresh app stops to responding and it takes about 1-3 minutes to start working again,

basicaly when i hit refresh the "loading" animation starts and quickly freezes (after one/two circles), then i must wait mentioned 1-3 minutes to do anything, e.g. moderate comment.

i am not using 'posts', only comment moderating (which is absolutely great), but posts list also refreshes about 1-3 minutes,

this is very annoying. it is not network dependent - same effect on gprs/edge/wifi

i use HTC G1 (Dream), Android 1.6 (w/o root), Wordpress 2.9.2 (self hosted), App version 1.2,

would you mind creating a test author account so we can troubleshoot? You can email the info to android at automattic dot com

Jean-Pierre Lagasse — Thu, 06 May 2010 08:39:24 +0000

Just to add :
- same issue with WordPress Android plugin 1.1.5
- same issue when posting (i.e. not only when validating a comment.

Hope this will help.

Is your blog's character encoding settings set to UTF-8?

Word Press 2.9.2 is hosted by OVH France, they provide the initial installation, than I manage the automatic updates.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

I'm unable to reproduce this, do you have a self-hosted WordPress install?

Jean-Pierre Lagasse on "Issue with accents"

Jean-Pierre Lagasse — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:37:52 +0000

I am using :
- WordPress Engine 2.9.2, french language
- WordPress Android plugin 1.1.4

The issue is : if a comment contains accentuated letters (ex. "é"), when you validate/approve the comment using WP Android, the comment is truncated at the first, included, accentuated letter.

Globally the plugin is very useful and easy to set-up and use.

we mirrored the iPhone app's tabs for some uniformity.

gwolle on "don't load comments (option)"

gwolle — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:33:03 +0000

Maybe we should change the tab menu order from "comments, posts, pages" to "posts, pages, comments", as posts are the most basical thing a blog has.

Dan on "don't load comments (option)"

Dan — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:57:04 +0000

Thanks, I think a good thing to add would be to remove that progress dialog and add a little progress indicator in the tab somewhere else. That way you could move on without having to wait for the comments to load.

Jonathan Nation on "don't load comments (option)"

Jonathan Nation — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:07:49 +0000

Basically, it sucks to have to wait for the app to attempt to download comments (keeping you from doing anything, if you don't have any) ... and then having another "click" to confirm there are no comments.

There should be an option (or other default "home" ) to make it where you don't autoload comments, or it goes to the posts tab first.

Something ... I don't know exactly the best answer.
