Hellooo Kings,

I have buyed Registration Requester v2.0.5 (https://stackideas.com/apps/item/3337-registration-requester)

As you can see with attached pic 1.jpg, it work fine when access my site from desktop/computer (site url http://www.yannanderson.com/web/en)

Unfortunately, this Registration Requester is hidden on mobile devices. As you can see with attached pic 2.jpg, when access from a mobile device, users can see my site without the Registration Requester.

Is it normal ?

Best Regards,

Yann Anderson

Hello Yann,

Yep, it is disabled on mobile by default because Google is penalizing sites that pops up on mobile devices. We try our best to follow guidelines provided by Google to ensure that your sites do not get penalized.

Here's the full blog post about "popups" on mobile devices from Google, https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/08/helping-users-easily-access-content-on.html

We did thought about having a smaller popup but it would defeat the purpose of the plugin altogether because the role of the plugin is to get users to see the sign up form

Hi Friend,

Thank you for your answer!

Google write the rules, we need to respect it

But in this case, to prevent others posts on your forum similare to this one or/and to inform your users, you can write some text in the .xml file: after installation of the plugin, a text can inform the user that this plugin is hidden on mobile device... of cours, it's just a suggestion :-)

See you soon!

Regards

Thanks for your input on this Yann, and I like your idea. Perhaps the plugin's description should be clearer to avoid confusions like this.

Hi Mark,

That's true,you can add description details to avoid confusions. You can take a look to picture 1.jpg, no informations about mobile devices.

Take a look to picture 2.jpg : this is the standard display I obtain after installing your plugin.

Take a look to picture 3.jpg : this is the display I obtain after "playing" with the xml file.

I join the modified requester.xml file



Best Regards,
