With iPhone/iPad, my website links work only ONCE, then loop to 'newest entry'
 
Hello from an unsavvy user (i have no knowledge of php/html)

Navigation of my website is perfectly fine with PC/Mac desktop/laptops, but when viewed with iPhone/iPad all links only redirect to the proper page when clicked the FIRST time. All subsequent clicked links loop back to the latest post (For instance when clicking "older entries" for the second time, it loops back to home page.)
Details:
* My website is www.misterfreedom.com
* WP 3.4.1 with Atahualpa 3.7.8 (customized by a 3rd party who admits not understanding the problem)
* I have tried with and without iPhone compatibility plug-in (all mobile related plugins are disabled and deleted now.)
* My hosting service (register.com) says I have no record for "m." redirecting in my DNS, but have a catchall in my A record (therefore the redirect to m.misterfreedom.com with iPhone viewing)
* I am not sure when this started happening, nor could i find the same issue documented in this forum.
* Currently installed/activated plugins are: Add Meta Tags/April's Super Function Pack/Column Matic/Contact From7/Custom Meta/Google Analyticator/Google Analytics for WP/InstantUpgrade/NextGEN Gallery/Page Links to/Really Simple CAPTCHA/the Social Links/WP Data backup/WP Facebook like plugin/WP-Highslide/WP MulticolLinks/WP re-CAPTCHA

Any experience with this issue? Thank you so much for your time and thoughts.

I would try getting rid of the catch all. You don't need a mobile redirection for the iPad. None of my sites do and the all work fine.

Thank you for your fast reply.
From my cPanel, it doesn't seem i have the 'wild card redirect' option on (see attached jpeg). I have asked register.com if there is another way to tweek the A records.
Thank you again for your help

what did this 3rd party 'customize'?

He put the site together and edited the templates via editor for colors/layout etc, will ask him if that can be explained.

Also, I found out how to get rid of the wildcard from the cPanel, but there is no more access to the website from iPhone now... Will try to go back and remember how to revert to previous A Records.

he shouldn't have had to edit any templates, it's all done in the theme options. Any extra CSS can be added in the 'Add HTML/CSS Inserts' option

Hello,
the web designer did not 'edit templates' (excuse my previous erroneous wording) but indeed edited the CSS.
In my A records, i do not have a * redirect anymore. When i tried to also remove the m. redirect (see photo) it rendered the access to my site from an iPhone impossible.

not sure what to suggest. i use my ipad to access many wordpress sites and don't have a problem. You also might look at the .htaccess file to see if it is doing anything

if you swap to twenty-eleven does the same thing happen?

misterfreedom Sep 10, 2012 02:31 PM

In the public_html folder, the .htaccess file is empty. There is however a .htaccess_old file that contains this (i replaced with ****** myself here):
\# -FrontPage-

Options None

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
require group authors administrators
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthType Basic
AuthName misterfreedom.com
AuthUserFile /home/********/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/********/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

I will ask the web designer to revert to 20-11, since i do not want to take the chance to ruin it all.
Thank you!
