How To Turn Off Or Edit The WordPress.com iPad Theme

3rd May 2011 by Mike Rawlins

Recently WordPress launched a theme specifically for iPad users, like the iPhone theme before it this is a specially designed theme just for people who are lucky enough to have an iPad. When people arrive at your WordPress site via an iPad them will automatically be shown the new Onswipe theme.

 

As you can see all the menus are hidden away behind the menu button and your cool graphic in the header is not showing like it should:( In the menu in the footer of the page there is the usual option for the site visitor to view the site using your default theme, but not everybody looks this far down or your front page could be so loaded with cool content that the footer is way of the bottom of the screen.

The good news is that you can edit and alter the Onswipe theme from your dashboard. All you need to do is go to Appearance in the side bar of the dashboard and select the iPad option.

Once you open this menu you will see that you can edit the look and the feel of the Onswipe theme so it suits your site better or you can turn it off altogether by un ticking the box at the top of the page.

Simple.

I look after the technical side of things at Talk About Local.
Away from Talk About Local I take photos, fly my quadcopter and walk my two Beagles.
If I'm not doing any of the above then you'll find me volunteering at my local RNLI station as a press officer.
