Help- I Can't Seem to Get My Launchpage to work!

Recommended Posts

meanmcbean

Hi. I have looked and tried to find out what I am doing wrong, but to no avail. I have installed the Launch Page plugin via the store and activated it. I've edited three different pages to be a Splash/Launch page on a website, and none of them work. After I complete the settings on the options page I see the splash page only when I click "View Page," but when I click on the main URL, I just see the regular home page. I hope that makes sense. The Launch page is for http://www.daughertyforcongress.com/ and here is one of the Launch Pages I've made http://www.daughertyforcongress.com/launch/. How do people see the launch page when they type in the website URL?

Hi there,

Once you've set the various meta settings in the launchpage tab (make sure you've checked the 'make launchpage' tab) are you hitting 'save meta settings' above and then republishing the page?


Kindly search the forum and read the documentation before posting. It will help you resolve many issues.

For CSS help be sure to check out W3Schools first and be sure to download FireBug for FireFox for troubleshooting.

Yes, I've Checked the tab to make page my Launchpage and saved Meta Settings. I also made sure to Update again, still not working.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you want users who visit your site - http://www.daughertyforcongress.com/ to see the launchpage, is this correct ?

If so you will need to change your Front Static page settings in Wordpress Admin Dashboard > Settings > Reading.


Please search our forums, before posting!

      This plugin is great in Firefox and Chrome, but in other browsers there are smalle issues. 
       
      The ugliest issue shows in IE, Opera Mobile and Android browser.
      I'm not using the "Splash logo" option, but in these three browsers (at least) there's an empty image where it should be. 
       
      IE9:

       
      Also in Opera Mobile, the background image acts weird, where it is resized to only cover a quarter of the background (sorry, no screenshot).

      (I assume Launch Gate is actually LaunchPage).
       
      The instructions for the background size of the launchpage is confusing. 1200w recommended it says, but it since there is some aspect resizing involved this is pointless. My background image is 1200 px wide, but in order to make it look OK I need to know what's the recommended height as well.
