Page Zoom
Custom Post Support
This option will appear if your WordPress installation has available custom post types to enable in WPtouch Pro. When enabled, the custom post types will be displayed in the main blog post listings.
Related Posts
"Enable display of related content on single posts"
When active, this setting displays thumbnails and excerpts of related posts below the main post's content area. Posts are "related" when they share tags. When there are no tags available, the related posts will be shown related by category. The maximum number of related posts may be set when this option is enabled.
"Ignore tags when identifying related posts"
When this option is enabled, tags a ignored and not used to identify related posts.
Video Handling
Video may be added to a site in several ways. In addition, a particular desktop theme may have its own method of handling video. To cover as many methods as possible WPtouch Pro offers choices in how videos are handled. If the default method is not proving successful for your particular desktop theme, try one of the other methods.
Resizing Fixed-Width Video: Some auto-embed code provided by video services add or include fixed-dimension iframes to your posts and pages. When video widths are fixed to be wider than a device’s screen, native resizing abilities are overridden and video overflow is often the result.One method to try when working with fixed-width elements is to add custom CSS to WPtouch Pro that will modify the item. Adding the following to your child theme’s style.css file per these instructions should allow a fixed-dimension iframe to reflow to any device’s screen width:
iframe { width: 100% !important;}
Best practice is to avoid using fixed dimensions. Where possible edit embed code to use percentages for width definitions rather than pixels or ems.
Login Form
Where user authentication is offered on a website, the login form may be enabled. The form provides a mobile interface for the native WordPress login page and is displayed as part of the mobile theme's menu.
There are options to display the "Sign-up" and "Lost Password?" links that also connect to the native WordPress functionality.
The login form cannot be set up to connect to third-party authentication methods.
