CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development
Team builds WordPress. post-new.php puts Add Media above the editor and Preview,
Save, and Publish below the editor. This is a desktop design that requires a lot
of scrolling on mobile. Scroll up to Add Media. Scroll down to Preview and Publish.
None of the buttons stay on screen persistently. There’s no joy here.

Scroll up from the editor to reach Add Media.   [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/05/27/the-location-of-add-media-on-phones/img_1489/#main)
Scroll down from the editor to reach Save, Preview, and Publish

The My Sites editor on wordpress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress
code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your
content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest
multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you
have never touched WordPress before. [https://wordpress.com/](https://wordpress.com/)
also puts Add Media above the editor and Preview, Save, and Publish below the editor
in a semi-fixed bar. This bar often goes offscreen for me. Although not nearly as
bad as post-new.php, this requires up and down scrolling.

  [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/05/27/the-location-of-add-media-on-phones/img_1485/#main)
Scroll up to reach Add Media.   [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/05/27/the-location-of-add-media-on-phones/img_1484/#main)
Scroll down to reach the Publish bar.   [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/05/27/the-location-of-add-media-on-phones/img_1500/#main)
Sometimes the publish bar stays on screen, sometimes.

Press This puts Add Media, Save, Preview, and Publish all in a fixed bar at the 
bottom. It is truly fixed and stays visible even when the browser’s bottom bar displays.

Nice

The iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. app puts add media in
the editor bar attached to the keyboard. This requires tapping into the content 
area before adding an image. Tapping the image icon with the editor unfocused is
a noop. This tripped me up often, at first. When I’m single image blogging, I’m 
not adding text content and don’t usually tap into the editor. I still occasionally
get tripped, but I’ve gotten used to it and have come to appreciate having add media
available even when the keyboard is up.

Add media even when the keyboard is up, so long as the editor is focused.

Notes:

[1] The dismiss button is often missing from the media modal. This seems to be particular
to the Media Library view. Dismiss never disappears if you stay on Upload Files.
Bringing the modal up more than once may be needed to trigger this. Moving from 
the Media Library view to the Upload Files view restores the dismiss button, but
tapping the dismiss button does nothing but hide the dismiss button again.

[2] Media modal scrolling in media lib view often gets stuck. The page beneath the
modal seems to be hijacking swipes. I’ve developed the habit of giving a 15 second-
ish cooldown when swiping gets stuck. The next swipe after the cooldown typical 
goes to the modal and normal scrolling is restored for awhile.

[3] Scrolling while editing captions is very awkward. The cursor often detaches 
from the caption field and seemingly joins the editor lying beneath the modal. The
cursor isn’t always in the caption field. Especially with the last row of images,
the cursor often shows below the caption field. Typing places the text in correctly
in the caption field but the cursor is outside the field. The jittery focus pan 
that happens when a caption is tapped into is disconcerting. Overall, captioning
is irksome and difficult.

[4] The image flow effort will eventually remove that awkward sidebarSidebar A sidebar
in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display
information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical 
column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content 
area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. from mobile. Should we pursue an
interim solution that removes the sidebar from the production media modal since 
image flow is a couple release out?

[5] I often tap View Post just below the title when I want to preview. View Post
shows the last published changes, however, not your in editor revisionsRevisions
The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published 
update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision
by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates
what has changed in each revision.. Preview is the button I really want but it is
farther from the editor than View Post and often gets forgotten.

[6] Mobile should never open things in new browser windows. This is a desktop biasDesktop
bias Patterns and interfaces that work in desktop interfaces don't always work on
mobile. UI elements triggered by mouse hover, opening in new windows, dragging into
bookmarks bars, drag-and-drop, and auto-focusing search input fields are examples
of desktop bias. [https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/desktop-bias/](https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/desktop-bias/)
that falls apart on mobile. Modal preview would be better on mobile.

[7] My permalink has the slug flow-loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress
to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed 
on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria
within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each
post. [https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop)-
2 instead of flow-loop because I trashed an earlier draft due to interface frustrations.
My frustrated bail out is later met with slug consequences. Ugh.

[8] The flow selector dropdown doesn’t dismiss with outside taps.

Tap the back arrow to get out of the customizerCustomizer Tool built into WordPress
core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many
of your site’s appearance settings..   [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/04/03/remove-a-widget-with-the-customizer-iphone-6/img_0956/#main)
Arrow changes to an X. This is pretty subtle when you’re in preview instead of customize
mode. Tap X.   [](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/04/03/remove-a-widget-with-the-customizer-iphone-6/img_0958/#main)
Land back on the front page.

Notes:

When in preview mode, the stacked nav of widgets is pretty subtle. There is no transition
other than < changing to X.

I accidentally move widgets when swiping to scroll all the time. I’ve taken to very
carefully swiping along the edges to avoid the widget headers, similar to what I
have to do in the post editor. I notice there’s a Reorder button at the bottom of
the widgets panel. Should widget rearrangement be confined to it?

# 󠀁[Image rotation and editing, mobile vs. desktop](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2015/04/03/image-rotation-and-editing-mobile-vs-desktop/)󠁿

Images uploaded from my phone via Press This or post-new.php seem oriented as I 
wish when viewed from a phone.

When viewed from desktop, they look like this.

After rotating them in WP’s editor, they show correctly in the image details modal.

But they still show incorrectly in the editor and on the front page.

This happens to me often. I’ve learned not to trust images uploaded from mobile 
or the image editor.

Switch back to Twenty Fifteen, this time using the Theme Details flowFlow Flow is
the path of screens and interactions taken to accomplish a task. It’s an experience
vector. Flow is also a feeling. It’s being unselfconscious and in the zone. Flow
is what happens when difficulties are removed and you are freed to pursue an activity
without forming intentions. You just do it..
