WordPress to PWA Mobile App

WP to PWA App converts your WordPress site into a Progressive Web App that your visitors can install on their phones and use offline. No theme edits, no fragile hacks, just a clean manifest, a smart service worker, and a builder-friendly settings screen.  

What it does

  • Installable app experience. Generates /manifest.webmanifest and registers a service worker at /wp2pwa-sw.js, so browsers can “Add to Home Screen”.

  • Fast and resilient. HTML uses a network-first strategy with an offline fallback page; static assets use cache-first for snappy loads.

  • Control what’s available offline. Per-page meta box (“Available offline”) plus route allowlist/denylist so you decide what’s cached.

  • WooCommerce-safe by default. Cart, checkout, account, add-to-cart, and wc-ajax are excluded from caching to keep sessions and orders safe.

  • Install UI you can place anywhere. Shortcode [wp2pwa_install] renders a banner or a compact button—now with alignment, width, and device targeting (devices="mobile|desktop|all"). iOS “Add to Home Screen” helper can be enabled/disabled from settings.

  • Update flow that makes sense. A “Clear PWA cache / Force update” button bumps the cache version. Visitors see a small update toast; the app refreshes cleanly.

  • Offline page you control. Provide your own HTML for the offline state—brand it, add links, or keep it minimal.

  • Diagnostics built in. One glance shows HTTPS, permalinks, endpoint reachability, and whether the service worker is active.

 

Why it’s different

  • Builder-first workflow. Every decision that normally requires theme edits is a checkbox or text field. Drop the install UI via shortcode where design needs it.

  • Safe out of the box. Respects Cache-Control: no-store, never touches /wp-admin, login, or REST by default, and only caches same-origin requests.

  • Woo or no Woo. Works fine without WooCommerce; when Woo is active, the plugin automatically applies the right exclusions.

 

What you get out of it

  • Faster repeat visits and better Lighthouse PWA scores

  • App-like UX your audience can pin next to their native apps

  • More resilient content that still works when the network doesn’t

 

Changelog:

# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## [1.0.0] - 2025-08-10
### Added
- PWA master switch (enable/disable).
- Root endpoints: /manifest.webmanifest and /wp2pwa-sw.js.
- Manifest generator: name, short_name, description, start_url, scope, display, orientation, theme/background colors, icons (Site Icon + fallbacks).
- Service Worker: network-first for HTML (offline fallback) + cache-first for static assets.
- Route controls: allowlist & denylist.
- Woo-safe exclusions: auto-detect cart/checkout/account when Woo exists; safe defaults when it doesn’t.
- Per-page “Available Offline” meta box for public post types.
- Custom offline page (HTML) setting.
- Update flow: cache version bump button, “new version available” toast (skipWaiting + auto-reload).
- Install UI shortcode: [wp2pwa_install] (banner/button) with iOS “Add to Home Screen” hint.
- Diagnostics panel (HTTPS, permalinks, endpoint reachability, statuses).
- i18n: text domain, languages folder, localized strings, manifest lang from site locale.
- Admin/Frontend assets (CSS/JS), no theme edits.
- Security: bypass admin/auth, respect no-store, same-origin only, block Woo/query actions.

### Changed
- Default “custom install prompt” (toast) is disabled by default.

### Fixed
- WooCommerce calls guarded (no fatals when Woo isn’t installed; no IDE warnings).

## [1.0.1] - 2025-08-11
### Added
- iOS “Add to Home Screen” helper **toggle** in settings; shortcode respects it.
- Shortcode options: `align` (left|center|right), `width` (auto|full), `hide_later`, `class`.
- Shortcode visibility control: `devices` attribute (`mobile` default | `desktop` | `all`) → mobile/tablet only by default.
- “Install UI Shortcode” help card in settings (usage + attributes).
- “Support & Custom Work” card with contact links.

### Changed
- Admin settings page: all outputs/URLs escaped; replaced custom `wp2pwa_checked()` with core `checked()`.
- Shortcode markup: improved ARIA + disabled-state handling.

### Fixed
- Manifest icons are added only if the files exist (or Site Icon is set) to avoid 404 / “not a valid image”.
- Shortcode iOS helper modal: “Got it” button now closes reliably (event delegation + ARIA toggles).
- Shortcode no longer renders on disallowed devices per `devices` attribute.

## [1.0.2] - 2025-09-16
### Added
- **Separate “Install Prompt (Popup)” card** — fully independent from the shortcode and controlled by the master switch.
- **Popup targeting:** devices (`mobile|desktop|all`) and **page selection** (multi-select of Pages).
- **Popup styling:** theme (`dark|light`), position (`bottom-right|bottom-left|top`), and **delay** (seconds).
- **CSS Hooks & Custom CSS**: admin card listing all classes/IDs + optional sitewide Custom CSS textarea.
- **Base UI styles** for popup/shortcode (`assets/install.css`) and new localized strings (“Install”, “Later”).

### Changed
- **Frontend JS refactor:** popup logic split from shortcode, runs only when `beforeinstallprompt` is available, and respects device/page gates.
- **Sanitization:** page IDs sanitized; options validated; styles enqueued only when needed.

### Fixed
- Popup no longer depends on shortcode rendering or its attributes.
- Prevented duplicate popup renders and ensured reliable open/close behavior.
