Design or pages not updating
To get your app to update in the browser preview, please try the following, in order, until the issue is fixed:
- Clear your browser cache and do a hard refresh in your browser
- Go to the build tab and rebuild your app, refresh again
- Press "update live app" and save (Please Note: this will also send changes to your live apps)
- Try in a different browser
Live app not updating with changes
If your app on a device is not updating, that could be for a couple reasons. The app caches the old colors, menus, and other settings on purpose for better performance. It does not update right away, but here's how to update:
- Press "update live app" in the Build tab of your app customizer by going to MyAppPresser.com Dashboard > App Name > App Customizer > Build & Preview > Update Live App. (Please Note: this will also send changes to your live apps)
- Open and close the app on your device 2-3 times
If that doesn't work, you can also try deleting and re-installing the app on your device. Please do not delete the application in your MyAppPresser.com account.
Blank Pages
If you are seeing blank pages in the preview, it could be for a few reasons. Please try the following:
- Update all AppPresser plugins and theme to the latest version inside your WordPress dashboard.
- Visit the AppPresser settings on your WordPress site and check "Enable CORS" and save. Refresh the app preview.
- If you have a caching plugin or a web host that heavily caches, please configure your cache as described here
- Deactivate any CDN or security plugins temporarily
- Install our plugin blocker as described here and block any non-AppPresser plugins
If it still isn't fixed and you know how to use your browser dev tools, open the console logs and refresh the app preview. Tell us about any errors you see.
