Hi Kurt

As I said. This has nothing to do with PWA or my plugin. You should search for a WordPress plugin that allows to restrict access to specific sites.

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi @kurt777

If I understand it correctly you want to restrict access to a page, right?

This has nothing to do with the features you get from using Progressive WordPress. If you search for a plugin that allows you to restrict access to a page (maybe by entering a password) I’m sure you’ll find hundreds of WordPress plugins that allow you to achieve this.

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi @delaitec

There are some issues right now with push notifications.
After some changes on firebase some Progressive WordPress users are not able to send push notifications. Instead of solving the problem and wait for the next problem to come I’m just now developing a whole new tech for push notifications:
https://github.com/SayHelloGmbH/progressive-wordpress/tree/http-web-push

I can’t say when it will be ready to ship. But I’m doing my best.

But now to your question. Right now it’s not possible. But it’s a great Idea. So I will implement a global Method that could be used by any Theme or Plugin to send push notifications. But you will need to write some custom code to make it work in your specific scenario. I created a issue for his:

Yes, a custom instruction-banner would be a possibility.
I’ve opened an issue on github some while ago but did not implement it yet.

No, there is no way to send push notification from the web on iOS yet. It’s not supported by the OS and therefore there is no workaround.

Hi @ycrdist

Since version 11.3 iOS supports parts of the progressive web app technology. That means you can install it, but iOS does not have a built in install banner.
You need to go to the page settings (the little box-with-arrow-up button) and then “Add to homescreen”.

This is not a limitation coming from the plugin. It is an ongoing discussion between the Web-Community an Apple who refuses to fully support PWAs.

Hi there

Yes, it seems like one signal made some updates which conflict with the current implementation in progressive WordPress.
However, I will not fix the integration because I don’t want to depend on their plugin decisions. Instead, I will implement a more sustainable solution for sending push notifications:

Hi @acebasel

I’m pretty sure those plugin mess around with the scripts and styles WordPress includes. So if the progressive WordPress scripts are not loaded there is nothing I can do about that.

Nico

Hi there

Yes, there is a problem right now with push notifications in general. It’s addressed here and I’ll try my best to find a more sustainable solution:

Hi @heinperu

Yes. Progressive WordPress stores the WordPress user-ID with the push subscription. So you can send push notifications to this specific user. If he’s not logged in you would need to find another way to match the subscription to a user. But technically you can.

Hi @squibs,

Whta’s the URL of your site?

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi @dorsetdigital01

Currently, only Chrome on Android has a native add to homescreen prompt. You should also be aware that chrome is quite restrictive with this prompt. For example if you dismissed it once, it won’t show up again. If you want to crete a better experience I’d suggest to create a custom install button (requires some understanding of PWAs and knowledge of HTML/CSS).

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi @smbrothers,

No. Currently you can either show the native prompt or you can create a custom install button (requires some understanding of PWAs and knwoledge of HTML/CSS).

Hi @cmsnext,

That’s strange. What’s the URL of your site so I can have a look at it?

Kind regards,
Nico

Hi @2001web

That’s quite strange, I’d assume something is wrong with the Markup of your page. Can I have a look at it somewhere?

Kind regards,
Nico
