I want to add a wp plugin web app (Add to home screen ) to warri market.

I want my users to be able to click on the app icon on their home screen without having to type in the url address.

Should I go with this plugin, or their another option you recommend?

Hello,

The theme already has a built-in function to grab the icon added here: https://www.screencast.com/t/K4mXP7ZU9aa4 when a user adds the site to their homescreen. You can do that on any mobile browser and the theme will grab the icon to place it on the phone as an ‘app’. This however is a user choice as the user has to add the site to his/hers homescreen. You cannot do that automatically.

Thank you!

How does it work?
For example:
1. Does the theme automatically pop up the icon image?
2. Does this happen the first time a user visit the site or second time?
3. Does it keep track of the user who has added it?
4. How many times in minutes/hours does it pop up the image icon in a day?

I will appreciate how the configuration work.

Thanks.

Hi,

Basically this is a simple process, and the icon if entered in the respective fields in theme panel, appears when an user adds your website on their home screen, depending on their screen size and device type. It will use this image as soon as the link is added, and the site will appear with that icon on the home screen. If you would like to see statistics or other information, maybe you could find a plugin with these capabilities because there are no options available in this matter.

Thanks

Dear support,
I have done everything as instructed above (All the size of icons has been inserted), but the picture icon does not show up on my mobile home screen. If it does not show up on my mobile home screen, how then can I click it to install?

May be something is wrong.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hello,
I agree is working.

What did you do that enabled you install it on your home screen?

A step by step on how you as a user got to install it on your home screen will deeply be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

When visiting the website, one must choose the option add to home screen – https://www.screencast.com/t/Js0e0W4mN2a9https://www.screencast.com/t/FWXAGKiiy and the the website will be displayed on the home screen as a link with the icon you have set – https://www.screencast.com/t/tfQB04l3

Thank you, that answers my question.

Lastly, can I run a similar plugin that does the same function, but this plugin will pup up the website icon on their home screen automatically when a user visit my site.

Many thanks,
Gibson

Hi,

You are welcome to try such a plugin with that capability, and make a few tests to see if it works for you.

Thanks
