Copy link

Closed
Description
Expected behavior
If I enter an invalid URL at the login form, I expect to receive an informative, helpful error message that informs me why I'm not able to log into the app.
Actual behavior
The following error appears if I enter an invalid URL at the login form, which isn't that helpful to users:
"Hmmm, it doesn't look like there's a WordPress site at this URL. Double-check the spelling and try again."
Screenshot:
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Navigate to the app's login screen and select the "Log in by entering site address" option.
- Enter some nonsense text, for example "DFOJDOFJF".
Tested on iPad mini, 10.9 of WordPress for iOS
This was raised by @jtreanor and some other recent support rotations as a lot of support requests are made up of users who enter an invalid URL. More informative error messaging could have a positive impact on the number of incoming requests.
