Title: Errors Loading Manifest Last modified: May 21, 2021 --- # Errors Loading Manifest * Resolved [pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/) * (@pairfumlondon) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-loading-manifest/) * Dear Weston, * Many thanks for creating and supporting this plugin. * We have installed it successfully and added the shortname and maskable icon per your separate instructions. * We have since noticed that Google Chrome Inspector shows errors for our site’s PWA in the Console and we can’t understand what is causing these errors: _[ redundant link removed ]_ * Would you mind having a look and helping us to identify what causes them, i.e. how to fix them? * Many thanks for your help with this. * Kind regards, * Pairfum London - This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by [pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/). - This topic was modified 5 years ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferrors-loading-manifest%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-loading-manifest/#post-13823723) * Sorry, I missed your support topic.

But I did for [@amarudare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amarudare/) for some reason. * [@pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/) It looks like you’ve since deactivated the PWA plugin. * [@amarudare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amarudare/) In your case, I can see that that the manifest is indeed in the page in a `link[rel=manifest]` element, and If I access that URL directly it does load in the browser. However, if I then open DevTools and go to the Application tab it says “No manifest detected”. * I don’t see anything wrong with your site which would cause the manifest to fail to load. * In fact, if I open Firefox and go to the Manifest tab in Firefox Developer Tools, it does not fail to load. This seems like a bug in Chrome itself, somehow. * [@pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/) Can you re-enable PWA on your site? I want to share your URL with someone on the Chrome team to determine why the manifest is failing to load. * Thread Starter [pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/) * (@pairfumlondon) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-loading-manifest/#post-14350491) * Dear [@westonruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * Many thanks for picking up this thread again. We had given up on you. * Following your post here, we have reactivated your PWA plugin with these two additions: – short name: [https://gist.github.com/westonruter/dec7d190060732e29a09751ab99cc549](https://gist.github.com/westonruter/dec7d190060732e29a09751ab99cc549)– manifest: [https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/issues/304](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/pwa-wp/issues/304) * We ran a Lighthouse test after the re-installation and all seems to be in order now! I don’t know which changes you made but the issue is fixed for us now. * I look forward to hearing back from you. * Kind regards, * Pairfum London * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-loading-manifest/#post-14358426) * [@pairfumlondon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pairfumlondon/) Strangely I am still not seeing any email notifications from you! I’m glad it is working now and I can indeed see the manifest is loading in Chrome when I visit your site. * [@amarudare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amarudare/) I’m not aware of a temporary workaround. I’ll ping someone on the Chrome team next week if they don’t follow up before then. * Plugin Author [Weston Ruter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westonruter/) * (@westonruter) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-loading-manifest/page/2/#post-14404885) * [@amarudare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amarudare/) Please open a new support topic.
