If ever a publisher gets a non-terminable contract with an author, that author can never buy his freedom from that slavery on any terms. A publisher is by nature so low and vile that he — that he — well from the bottom of my heart I wish all publishers were in hell.
~ Mark Twain
That Author Can Never Buy His Freedom from That Slavery

There’s no getting away from the mobile site, since the button doesn’t work.
And it wouldn’t allow me to see older stories. I’m now seeing the Olde Faithful desktop edition (DuckDuckGo/Firefox on a Mac.)
I’ve had that same problem. The mobile site won’t let me go past the first page of posts.
I reverted to the desktop site but it is definitely not optimized for reading on my phone. 🙂
Sigh. Now the home page is doing the “ugly.”
I agree, time for a new WP theme. I know it won’t be the wonderful one you have now, PG – but anything will be better than the blue and white monster.
+1
I know it’s your site but that blue and white is really off putting.
Indeed. And when I played around at times I was getting the “insecure” http versions of the pages which I had assumed no longer existed. It felt like the best way to navigate the site was to use Feedly (always a good way to get directly to relatively recent postings) save that yesterdays postings haven’t (yet) appeared there.
So please PG, new WP theme asap, even if it’s not as pretty as the old one.
What’s going on is that, for whatever reason, you are getting the mobile site (which I really prefer on my phone) instead of the desktop site. Look for a button at the bottom of the blue & white layout to switch to desktop.
Punched that button three times, Dave, but still getting the mobile site instead of the desktop. Something still isn’t working.
Sorry, all.
Are we talking about the mobile site or the computer site?
I think that we are talking about trying to access the computer site URL (https://www.thepassivevoice.com/) from a PC and getting the blue and white mobile site for the home page. Not currently happening but it has come and gone for the last few days.
Twain self-published.
Until his self-publishing business turned into a regular old-fashioned publisher, and went broke publishing inferior books by other people.
There’s a lesson in that somewhere, and within a book-cover’s thickness of the surface, too.
