This plugin adds a web app manifest, a service worker, and install prompts to your WordPress site. Visitors on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or Samsung Internet can install your site to their phone home screen or desktop dock in one click. On iPhone they can add it from Safari’s Share menu.
Everything is set up from one admin screen under Mobile App . Upload two icons, pick your colors, and save.
What the plugin does
- Serves a valid web app manifest at /?pwa_manifest=1 .
- Registers a service worker at /?pwa_sw=1 that caches an offline fallback page.
- Creates an “Offline” page on activation. You can edit it or pick a different page later.
- Shows an install banner on Android Chrome and Edge.
- Shows a small “Install App” button at the top of Chrome, Edge, and Brave on desktop.
- Shows an optional persistent “Install App” button (bottom-left on desktop, bottom bar on mobile).
- Shows a short tip on iOS explaining how to add to the home screen.
- Adds a live preview so you can see your icon on a phone home screen and desktop dock before saving.
- Shows a status pill in the header: “PWA Active” when everything is set up, “Setup needed” when something is missing.
- Warns you if your site is on HTTP, because browsers will not install a PWA from a non-HTTPS site.
The settings screen
The admin page has four tabs: Identity, Icons, Appearance, and Behavior.
Identity
- App Name. Up to 45 characters. Shown on splash screens and install prompts. Has a live character counter.
- Short Name. Up to 12 characters. Shown under the icon on the home screen. Has a live character counter.
Icons
- Icon 192×192. PNG only. The plugin checks the format and dimensions on upload and rejects anything else.
