Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Add to Home Screen & Progressive Web App

In the free version, the balloon may reappear in Safari unless you set a long expiration time (e.g., 30 days) in the settings. The Pro version prevents the balloon from showing once the Web App is installed, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Try the following: - Clear your cache if using a caching plugin. - Clear your browser’s cache and cookies (e.g., in Safari, double-tap the home button, long-press Safari, and close it). - Ensure settings are saved in the correct context (site-level for single sites, network-level for multisite).

Absolutely! Both free and Pro versions let you craft custom messages with HTML support (e.g., bold, links, emojis) and placeholders like %site_name, %device, and %icon. The Pro version adds dashboard-specific message customization.

Custom messages (e.g., floating balloon text) can be translated using WPML’s String Translation, Polylang, or Loco Translate. For WPML: 1. Save your messages in Settings > Add to Home Screen. 2. Go to WPML > String Translation. 3. Search for your message (e.g., "iOS message") or filter by domain add-to-home-screen-wp. 4. Add translations for your languages and save. For Polylang or Loco Translate, use their string translation tools. Check their documentation for details.

Purchase a license at tulipemedia.com. Install the Add to Home Screen & PWA Pro add-on. Enter your license key in Settings > License (or Network Admin > License for multisite). Configure Pro settings under Settings > Pro Settings.

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with multisite. When activated network-wide, settings are managed centrally in Network Admin > ATHS Network Options and applied to all subsites for a consistent PWA experience. Alternatively, activate it on individual subsites for site-specific customization. The Pro version extends this with network-level premium features.

Both free and Pro versions offer a clean uninstall option. Enable Delete Data on Uninstall in Settings > Add to Home Screen to remove all plugin data. Uncheck it to preserve settings for reinstallation.
