Setup OneSignal with SuperPWA WordPress Plugin
If you are using the latest version of OneSignal you won’t need to manually set up anything like on this article, both SuperPWA and OneSignal work perfectly. Earlier OneSignal used a manifest file to function its push notification and moreover SuperPWA also creates a manifest file for its functioning. Upon this case only one manifest will be registered at the browser end, that’s why we added this step to resolve the registration process of the manifest to work both ones perfectly well. From OneSignal’s latest version they work out of the box without generating manifest, and moreover they removed it from their plugin. So don’t worry whether you cannot find the options as we mentioned below. If the OneSignal plugin version which you are using is below 1.17.9, you just need to set up as we mentioned below.
If you want to easily fix this admin notice (as you are using the latest OneSignal plugin), you can download the fix version (2.0.2.1) available from the GitHub repo. As the quick fix is now added to the plugin on GitHub, you can easily download it from our GitHub release page: https://github.com/SuperPWA/Super-Progressive-Web-Apps/releases/tag/2.0.2.1
OneSignal is a multi-platform notification push service, that support upon native app and web platforms.
Web push notifications helps to increase the audience engagement and helps in significant boost in overall page views and returning visitors.
As OneSignal is one of the awesome way to engage users upon Progressive Web Apps, we included support on our plugin SuperPWA.
As OneSignal also have manifest and service worker than our plugin SuperPWA (Super Progressive Web Apps) creates, we need to change some changes settings to work it perfectly.
Steps to setup OneSignal with SuperPWA WordPress Plugin (Only if the OneSignal plugin version is below 1.17.9)
- Go to OneSignal Settings page from your WordPress dashboard.
- Within the OneSignal settings page you can see Advanced Settings at the bottom of the page.
- Check “Use my own manifest.json” and add SuperPWA manifest URL into the field and Save Settings. (For your website
https://example.comthe SuperPWA’s manifest ishttps://example.com/superpwa-manifest.json)
That’s it! Rest will be done by our plugin Super Progressive Web Apps automatically.
Multisites using OneSignal
SuperPWA is not compatible with OneSignal on multisites just yet. We are looking into few possible solutions and this is definitely something we want to have in our plugin.
Please get in touch if you are a multisite user using OneSignal so that we can inform you when the compatibility is available.
Until then, it is best to disable one of these plugins.
Hi José, may i have to install another plugin than SuperPWA? To go to OneSignal Settings, because i’m not founding at my wordpress web site. Thanks and congrats by the awesome plugin!!
Thanks for the great words Irio. Yes! You need to install OneSignal plugin for push notifications. As within SuperPWA latest version, we made it compatible and support to send push notifications to your PWA.
Hi! Just one question; Do I need to sign up for an account on onesignal and have a app id, rest api key and safari web id?
Yes! You need to create an account upon OneSignal to setup it and to use push notifications with SuperPWA.
I am looking to use multisite with onesignal.

I think we’re missing something. How can OneSignal detect new subscribers when people install the Progressive Web App? Is it through the manifest?
We added the manifest after installing the App on our test Android and we still have no subscribers. Any idea what we could be missing?

Just tried to follow this guide, but the “Use my own manifest.json” option seems to have been removed from OneSignal…
Hello Colin,
Kindly please update the plugin to the latest version and it won’t show any admin notices to enable use manifest.json
Web Push does not require a manifest.json file anymore so OneSignal has removed this flag in version 1.17.9 of the plugin.
This step should be removed.

The option doesnt show in my config, does it still be necesary?
Hi Iker,
As mentioned at the intro of this article, these settings are not needed if you’re using OneSignal plugin version greater than 1.17.9. You can skip the notice which is showing currently over the admin panel.
Hope that helps you!
Yeah but the prob is that the notice is showing on every page of the admin panel. And there is no “X” to close it. So we have this notice showing everywhere and can’t get rid of it!
Hello Maykel,
Please update the plugin to the latest version and it won’t show any admin notices.

You mentioned that the latest version of One Signal plugin won’t required ‘Use my own manifest.json’ setting but my wordpress dashboard continuously showing this message:
Action Required to integrate SuperPWA with OneSignal:
1. Go to OneSignal Configuration > Scroll down to Advanced Settings →
2. Enable Use my own manifest.json
3. Set https://cbshop.in/superpwa-manifest.json as Custom manifest.json URL and Save Settings.
Please refer the OneSignal integration documentation for more info.
How to stop this message being showing or Will you fix that in the next update of Super PWA plugin?

Hello, is it possible to activate onesignal notifications without the user in pwa activating notifications manually? Could they be activated automatically? thanks
Unfortunately, that’s not possible over the web. Permission should be granted by the user for receiving push notifications.
Hello, when I use pwa and onsignal together, I cannot send notifications. I’m getting notifications on devices like “This site has been updated in the background.” “Can you help please?

Hi Jose,
I love the plugin and am considering going pro (shame I missed the discount).
I notice on Android (Samsung Galaxy s20) that even with OneSignal push and the PWA working wonderfully, that the notification badge only shows ‘1’ even when there are multiple notifications.
Is this a known limitation or is there something I can do in either yours or OneSignal settings to get the badge to update the notification count?
