Unable to change Display setting

Hello @detroitwidget

Thanks for using SuperPWA.

It’s strange that an uninstall and reinstall didn’t fix it.

So from what I understand, the settings page does show the saved setting.

Can you check the root folder (folder with wp-config.php) to see if there is a manifest written (superpwa-manifest.json)? If there is one, please delete it, then deactivate and reactivate SuperPWA so that it can regenerate it.

If there is no physical file, then the file is dynamic. Do you have OPcache or Redis?

Let me know how that goes please.

Hi Arun,

I checked the root folder and deleted the existing manifest. I deactivated/reactivated the plugin. The problem persists.

The settings page DOES show the setting as being saved. And again, ALL other changes are immediately written to the manifest file, EXCEPT the Display property.

I do not use OPcache or Redis (that I’m aware of).

Thanks.

That is so strange. Especially when the manifest is regenerated.

I just tested this at my end. Couldn’t spot an issue. Hmm.

Can you check the wp_options table in the database and look for superpwa_settings and see its option_value. Not sure if you are familiar with the database, the value will be serialized and you can use https://www.unserialize.com to read it

Example: https://jmp.sh/kQ0P7M6

Fullscreen = 0
Standalone = 1
Minimal-UI = 2
Browser = 3

Please see if its written there correctly.

I checked the database. The option_value for superpwa_settings is correct and matches my WP Admin plugin settings (Standalone=1). Manifest still shows Minimal UI.

Unserialized:

Array

    [orientation] => 1
    [display] => 1
    [is_static_sw] => 1
    [is_static_manifest] => 1
)

Strangeness.

Please delete the manifest from the root folder.

Then add this:

error_log( "\n superpwa_manifest_template = " . json_encode( superpwa_manifest_template() ), 3, ABSPATH . "/my_error_log.log" );

in:

wp-content/plugins/super-progressive-web-apps/public/manifest.php

After:

Line #168
Here: https://github.com/SuperPWA/Super-Progressive-Web-Apps/blob/05ef8b38344cebd9c9575d01ea471666f7c8c3f0/public/manifest.php#L168-L169

So that it looks like this: https://snippi.com/raw/59nt0bx

Then:
– Deactivate and reactivate SuperPWA
– Check the root folder for a file named my_error_log.log
– Please let me know the contents of it.

Done. The my_error_log.log was not generated.

More weirdness. Was the manifest re-generated?

That’s is the function that writes the manifest.

Yes. But it’s not present in the site root when viewed by FTP.

Update: The manifest is now present in site root.

Update:

I restored the entire website from a 1-week old backup. Uninstalled/Re-installed and updated the Super PWA plugin.

The problem seems to have been resolved. All changes to settings are now being saved.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for reporting back. Which version of SuperPWA is running now?

Version 2.0.2

Perfect. And weird it didn’t work before.

Anyways, glad its all good now.
