AppPresser Bridge

The AppPresser Bridge plugin serves as a compatibility layer between the native app and iFrame web pages from your WordPress site. As most customers will end up using some iFrame pages in their app we recommend the bridge plugin be installed on most AppPresser setups.


The AppPresser iFrame configuration is to have both the Bridge plugin active and our Ion Theme installed on your site. This is the simplest setup as the Ion Theme takes care of stripping out all excess elements leaving just a view of the page content itself for display within the app. For site's where this setup is not feasible such as a site dependant on an all-in-one theme where key functionality depends on that theme being active the Ion Theme is not suitable. Removing the Ion Theme from WordPress and keeping the Bridge plugin will set the Bridge plugin to interface with your existing theme instead. This resolves many compatibility issues with complex theme's but requires you to write your own custom CSS to hide those excess elements for the app view of the page.


Setup

  1. Download the AppPresser Bridge zip file from your MyAppPresser account page.
  2. Login to your WordPress website, and go to Appearance=>Plugins =>Upload.
  3. Activate the Plugin 

Notes

  • Your WordPress Theme is likely to have some display issues within the app, like excess elements that aren't needed in the app. You can hide these in the app by adding custom CSS rules to the AppPresser -> Settings -> App Customization tab in your wp-admin.
  • We also offer an option to automatically add the push-page class to all links, which helps deal with Iframe Login Issues
  • If you have both the AppPresser Bridge active and AP3 Ion Theme on your site the Bridge should take precedence and show your normal website theme in your app. If you don't get this behaviour, you can remove the AP3 Ion Theme from your site and that should force the Bridge plugin to work
