I have a self hosted at my home WordPress Tailscale, so I can get to it and it was working real slow with the WordPress app so I deleted it and reinstalled it and now I can’t connect to it. I had to redo the certificate to do HTTPS and I think that’s why it was going slow so I thought I’d reinstall it but now I can’t connect.

it keeps saying invalid URL please check that I typed it in right and I can type that in Safari on iPhone and it works on Safari the same URL that I put in the WordPress app because I have Tailscale on my phone and the server and they both connect. Can anybody help me to fix this?

Have you already contacted Tailscale Support, as I recommended here? Since no one here is familiar with this technology or uses it, it will be difficult for them to help you.

Hi there, @raymondday,

I’d echo what @threadi said: it’s likely something the Tailscale support folks can help with.

Let us know how you get on 🙂

I don’t think it’s Tailscale. I think it’s WordPress app because it was working before and I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now it’s not working.

Hey @raymondday,

Do you see your site well displayed on a desktop computer? If so, are you able to access the WP Admin dashboard with no issues at all?

If all the above is right and working, it likely may be the app. Have you tried to install the app and connect your site on a different mobile device, if you have the option to do it?

Can you tell us what device the app was installed into, its version, as well as the app version?

It works on my windows 11 and I have tail scale on it it works really good on my PC but using Chrome to get on it.

It’s Version 26.4.1 on my Apple iPhone 14+ and I have tested it on some other Android phones I have. Some that I have only on LAN and had the WordPress APP all ready install from about 6 months ago still work. But now I know if I uninstall that WordPress app and install it and add my site it can’t display it but the Web browser still can. By coping the URL and paste it in the Web browser. So I know it’s the right URL.

I guess they changed something in the WordPress app update were it don’t work with how I have it set up. At left if you uninstall it and reinstall it. It must of had some setting that worked before.

Wow Deleted the WordPress app and looked on app store for some other WordPress app and found one “BlogTouch for WordPress.com” and it ask for my name and password and I had to slid over to not use wordprss.org and I typed in my URL and it works with this app. So it not tail scales fault.
