Patching WURFL Plugin

by in Techie :: Techno ::

While I was trying to be clever and conform to the dotmobi rules it transpires I was also hurting my pagerank………..
Richard provided links to the updates, so fixing it was quite easy. Simply overwrite the existing files in:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-mobile-wurfl/data
The ones you need to update are:
wurfl.xml and web_browsers_patch.xml
You can see what WURL is doing by running tail on wurfl.log
I’m not sure what the best way of fixing the spidered pages issue is, but adding wp-mobile.php to robots.txt might be a good start, though I’m open to suggestions…….

    Have you any idea about the file permissions that you need to get this thing to work?
    I keep getting file permission errors.

    Make sure your plugins directory is writeable – if you have shell acess try:
    chmod -R 777 plugins/
    as it has to write out stuff to cache
