Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-Appbox

The server must run at least PHP 5.3 and support cURL and mb_eregi.

Yes, all elements of the WP-Appbox can be customized via CSS. It is also possible to deactivate the CSS stylesheet of the plugin in the settings. In addition, you can create your own templates for the output (see below).

You can simply copy the existing standard templates (folder "tpl") into your theme folder. The files can be given the following names: your-theme-folder/wpappbox-simple.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox-compact.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox-screenshots.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox-screenshots-only.php Or just put the templates inside a folder called "wp-appbox" and keep the original names: your-theme-folder/wpappbox/simple.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox/compact.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox/screenshots.php your-theme-folder/wpappbox/screenshots-only.php In the user-defined template files, the output can be adjusted to any desired value. The available variables can be found in the original files. ;-)

Basically, yes. However, the CSS of the WP-Appbox has to be implemented manually into your AMP page. How this works depends on your plugin.

After Google discontinued its Charts API several years ago and has now finally switched it off, the API from goqr.me is used to generate the QR codes. The Chrome Web Store only displays the first screenshot Unfortunately Google only loads the first screenshot into the HTML output of the Chrome Web Store, all other screenshots are dynamically reloaded. Therefore the output of several screenshots via WP-Appbox is not possible at the moment.

Basically: yes. But it depends on the settings. The plugin itself does not store any user data. However, external images from Apple, Google, Amazon and Co. are integrated. Depending on the interpretation of the DSGVO, this is problematic. If you don't want to supplement your data protection information, you can use two possible options: Activate the image proxy, which embeds external images in the WP appbox using its own URL. However, this can impair performance, especially with a large number of page calls. Activate the image cache. All images are stored on your own server. This variant is always recommended, because it improves performance and the images are still displayed even if the app is no longer available in the respective store. ;-) Amazon Product Advertising API 5.0 The Amazon Product Advertising API 5.0 is used for Android apps and Alexa Skills from Amazon. Own access is required for use, more information can be found here. The PA API 5.0 information can be entered in the "advanced settings" tab of WP-Appbox. Please note that no exact error checking can be done and depending on the access level, the queries can be exhausted quickly. Currently experimental.

A first implementation is available. However, this is experimental in nature and is not officially supported. With WordPress 6.2 there are problems with the block, but so far I have not found a solution. Classic Editor is therefore recommended ;)
