BEWARE

You CANNOT test push notification on emulators. Please use real devices.

Install the WordPress plugin

WPHC supports both free and pro version of Delite Studio's plugin for WP.

More details about the product: http://www.delitestudio.com/wordpress/push-notifications-for-wordpress/

Open your Wordpress admin page and install "Push Notifications for WordPress (Lite)" then activate it.

Android

If you have not already done so, you'll need to set up a Google API project, to generate your senderID. Follow these steps to do so.

In this example, be sure and substitute your own senderID. Get your senderID by signing into to your Google dashboard.

The senderID is found at Overview->Dashboard->Project Number or https://developers.google.com/mobile/add and follow the steps to get Cloud messaging senderID and apiKey.

** Tip: ** The senderID is a 12 digit number

Configure the WordPress plugin

Go to Push Notifications > Settings and check the following checkboxes:

  • Basic Options > Send push notifications when a new post is published
  • Basic Options > Android devices
  • Send Push Notifications for > Posts
  • Misc > In the Android notification payload add the message field

Then go to "Android Push Notifications (via GMC)" section and enter you Google API key.

Do not forget to save.

iOS

Configure the WordPress plugin

Go to Push Notifications > Settings and check the following checkboxes:

  • Basic Options > Send push notifications when a new post is published
  • Basic Options > iOS devices
  • Send Push Notifications for > Posts

Create .pem

Get .pem files

Once you have got your .pem files upload them in the iOS Push Notifications section

Update the local config

Change baseUrl in config/config.cson

"cordova":
    "pushNotifications":
        "enabled": true
        "baseUrl": "http://yourDomain.com/pnfw"
        "android":
            "senderID": ""

To make sure your web service works open http://yourDomain.com/pnfw/register/ in your browser. You should see that:

{
"error": "401",
"reason": "Unauthorized",
"detail": "Invalid HTTP method"
}

Debug registration

npm run android
# or
npm run ios

Open the console via Chrome dev tools chrome://inspect/#devices and inspect your device.

If push notifications are enabled and you have properly generated a key from Google cloud you should have a log that look like this:

[pushNotifications] registered!

It means the device has been registered.

If an error happened you will have the following log:

[pushNotifications] register failed!

Known issues

Parameter oauth_consumer_key is missing

The register http request fails with this message: {error: "401", reason: "Unauthorized", detail: "Parameter oauth_consumer_key is missing"}

Solution

Push notifications not working on iOS

Why am I getting the errors {Unable to connect to tls://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195} or {Unable to connect to tsl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195}?

Solution

Param tells me that I am not registered

If the "enabled" checkbox on the push notif parameters (in app) is never on. It could mean that the following checkboxes are not checked. Please check at least category to resolve the problem.
