Am i doing something wrong? When i visit most Discourse sites there is an option to install the PWA app, however on 2 of our Discourse hosted sites the option isn’t there. Same on mobile, it doesn’t install the app instead it adds some wrapper that looks nothing like the proper pwa.

Ohh, looks like you broke the markup of your forums by adding Visit Our Vape Shop Inside the head tag. This is invalid HTML and will break your page in all sort of manners. Move it outside of the head.

Looks like Chrome is refusing from parsing your webmanifest for some reason. I don’t see anything out of the ordinary, so I guess we must start removing things until it works. Try removing the screenshots you added and see if it makes any difference.

Also forgot to add, its the same with push notifications, these are not showing the prompt even though have posted and level 1 etc. Also users are reporting they are not supported on iphone 14 when trying to enable https://forum.driphacks.com/t/it-s-saying-notifications-are-not-supported-on-safari-browser-any-idea-why/114/14

I have only just added the screenshots to see if that was the problem

that did indeed fix it, can i add that code before the header? Where would be the best place for it as it’s quite important

I have added it to the “before header” and that seems to work
