Need to update your WordPress site but only have access to your phone or tablet? No problem! (Assuming you’ve configured your WordPress site to allow you to update via a mobile device, that is.)

Option A: Use the web browser

  • One option is to use the device’s browser and point it to your wp-admin login.
  • Note: this is the same method you’d use to update your site using a desktop/laptop computer. (e.g., http://www.stanford.edu/group/widgets/cgi-bin/wordpress/wp-admin)

Option B: Use the WordPress app

  1. Download and install the WordPress app. (Available in the App Store and Google Play).
  2. Configure your WordPress site to allow remote publishing via the XML-RPC method:
    1. Using a web browser, log into your WordPress site as an administrator.
    2. In the Dashboard, click Settings.
    3. In Settings, click Writing.

    4. In Writing, in Remote Publishing, check the XML-RPC box.

  3. In the WordPress app, log into your site. You can now update your posts, pages, and other content using the app!
