Hi All,
I am trying to create a workaround to a Wix bug, that wix seem unable to fix.

My site has dynamic pages fed from CMS data, which includes some third party widget code, which for some reason Wix messes up when being viewed from an iPhone. The problem goes away if the iphone use refreshes the page?

Anyway, while Wix continue to look into the problem, I have been trying all sorts of work arounds, including dumping the dynamic nature of the pages in favour of fixed pages, so this client can actually have a useful site. That excersize is a painful one, with me fighting to rebuild a reliable layout that isnt using the layouter properties.

Anyway, I am now wondering if I can get the page to refresh automatically (clumbsy I know)

Ive tried add this to the On ready() function
wixLocation.to(wixLocation.url)
But it does nothing?

Ive also tried whats suggested at: Wix Editor Request: Setting a Page to Refresh Automatically | Help Center | Wix.com
But thats only works if I can somehow feed it the url for the dynamic page?

Any suggestions please?

Can you try this code:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function () {
    const currentPage = wixLocation.url;
    const reloadInterval = 0.5 * 1000; //5 is in seconds
    setTimeout(() => {
        wixLocation.to(currentPage);
    }, reloadInterval)
});

It worked for me. Let me know if it’s working for you too.
