- Big improvements in the speed at which you can view and manage comments

I was not able to upload a video. When browsed to the directory where they are saved on my blackberry Bold, there were no videos listed.
Maybe next rev I’ll be able to do it.
@Jeremiah —
the latest beta (.169) supports the following file types: mp4, mov, wmv, avi, mpg, m4v . The 1.0 release should also support the 3gp file type.
WordPress for BlackBerry Beta…
WordPress now support directly via BlackBerry. Currently still in Beta but according to the developer blog, the release of 1.0 is near. What’s new in this release: Based on all the great feedback, developer have reworked much of the UI layout f…..
Thanks for this update!
I can upload a photo to my WP Page. However, I can not edit or create a new blog post. I get an error that says: “You cannot manage Post! I have tried everything.
BB Tour.
@John Blake
most probably your xmlrpc endpoint print out invalid character in the response message about the post.
so the app could not recognize the response properly and locks the post functionality.
did you try the blog refresh action? (click on the refresh button in the blog screen)
can you post a few details in the forums so we can take a look — thanks.

Since the update, I can’t post at all. Everything says “An error has occured”. I have tried refreshing and even deleting and re-adding my blog (which failed). I’m very frustrated, everything worked fine before this update.

I wonder if this is a network specific issue.
Make sure that permissions are set correctly. On your BlackBerry, go to “Options > Advanced Options > Applications”. Scroll through the list and highlight and select “WordPress for BlackBerry?”. Next, click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to “Allow”.
You can also review the connection settings in the app setup screen.
if your issue still there can you post to the forums so we can take a look?

I tried what you asked, Danilo, and no success. I even deleted the App and re-installed it with no success.
@petergriffinisgod
Turn on the debug feature (located in the setup screen) and try to add a blog, or any other network actions.
Then, send us the app log file and the device eventlog (instructions here)
I know it’s tedious, but this could help us to solve your issue.
Thanks.
Ok, here we go…when the update kept giving me errors and such, I deleted the App entirely. Now that I have re-installed it, it won’t allow me to Add my blog. When I try, it says this: We could not find the XMLRPC endpoint of your blog, please insert the complete URL below. Then, it gives an example. When I add my URL to fit the example given, I get the following message: An error occured. Therfore, I cannot try to post because I haven’t been able to even add my blog back in. If it helps, every time I start up the App, I get this message: Error while loading blog: 7afb333c7baea1cb24b0ad72eda302ce/File not exist! Thanks, Danilo, for your help.
@petergriffinisgod —
you can delete all cache files by a click on the remove button in the “setup screen”.
or just follow the steps below:
(btw, you can remove the folder also using blackberry desktop manager, or any other software)
Thanks, Danilo. That helped the start-up problem but I still get the same errors when I try to add my blog. Any other advice?
Still missing the ability to resize photos (650px is too wide for my blog). Oh how I hope that makes it to the 1.0 release.
@From Charles —
if you edit the post you see the html code of the inserted picture.
So you can change the size of the picture, with % values for instance.
I know it’s tedious, but it’s a simple way to do that right now…
will this have the geo API ?
I do hope so blackberry has GPS built into a large number of their phones and it would be VERY cool

The BlackBerry app doesn’t support geotagging yet. This is something we are talking about, most probably this feature will added in a future release.
I’m still hopelessly unable to add my blog to the App. When it asks for my url, how exactly should I enter it? My blog is leagueofpervertedgentlemen@wordpress.com
@petergriffinisgod —
You should insert this url: http://leagueofpervertedgentlemen.wordpress.com
One more thing, I’ve done a test on your xmlrpc endpoint at http://leagueofpervertedgentlemen.wordpress.com. No problem found.
