page overlay not reacting in Safari

[notrodman]

Hi, I have an issue with Page Overlay on Safari - when clicking the link it works on Chrome and Firefox but not in Safari. I tried to disable all my custom coding to troubleshoot but the overlay still doesn't want to open in Safari.

@arminunruh on mac it is working now actually and version 16.3 but still not working on iphone safari and the version for that is 17.4 i think

I think I found the solution: Safari is blocking the overlay/link if the site is not secured - by that I mean if your site is not https://

This is what worked for me!

let me try and check your version

i just tested it and it works on
iOS, v14.4 too

maybe you'Re on the http website instead of on the https website and then it doesn't want to open the link because of that?

[notrodman]

but it works now after I change website from http to https :)

@arminunruh yeah that works, must not have had https in the url on safari.
