Linked header banner does not work

Hello,

I have 5 websites and just found that the linked header banner does not work in safari Iphone mobile. Tested on Ipad and there it is working ok.

I have deactivated all plugins and done my tests again but no luck in Iphone / safari. Same issue on all 5 sites.

Hello,

Well, you can not see it from a screenshot. So i’ll explain the issue better. You have the option to set a banner link in theme settings -> general -> header banner. But this link does not work in Iphone mobile. If you click in the header banner nothing happens.

I have also tried to add my promotion into the banner editor linked like this <a href="url-goes-here">Promotion text</a> but also this fails to work in iPhone. Clicking the link or banner itself and nothing happens.

If you have an iPhone you can ofcourse test on my site.

I have not been able to test using other mobiles, and as mentioned it works on the bigger iPad.

Hello,

I have checked on Iphone one of the websites that you mentioned in the private area, and seems that the Header banner link works there.

Video from Safari: https://take.ms/HrriiM

Please try to clear the browser cache on your mobile and recheck the issue. If it doesn’t help you, please clarify which IOS version you use and make a video from your side.

Kind Regards

Sounds great, then i can relaxe a little bit 🙂 Yes, i empty cache atleast once per day and IOS is 15.5.7.
Just tried to install Firefox but the same issue there. So i will look deeper into my phone and test with some other phones.

No need for a video as it does not show anything, as mentioned absolutely nothing happens when i click in the banner. And no JS errors etc.

Hi again, Luke!

Well, i have found that all newer iPhones has no problems and in regards to apple forums the problem appeared with IOS 15.5 – There was more than 400 posts about similar problems. Some had found the solution in the Safari -> advanced settings -> experimental. But hundreds of options and no one remebered what they had changed.

I guess we just have to realize that the days for iPhone 7 has ended 😉
