Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Where do I find the modular content block for my app download buttons?
A: In your Control Panel, navigate to Content Manager > Edit > Modular Content. Depending on your site setup, look for entries named Mobile Bidding App Page Content, App Promo, or similar content blocks.
Q: Why should I set the link target to "New Window (_blank)"?
A: Setting the target to open in a new window/tab ensures that users aren't navigated away from your website when they click to view your app. They can easily download the app without losing their spot on your site.
Q: Why are my App Store or Google Play buttons not working on the live site?
A: If clicking the badge image does nothing, the image is likely missing its link URL. Double-click the image in the editor, ensure the store link is pasted into the Link tab, and remember to scroll to the bottom and click Submit to save your changes.
Q: Where can I find the exact store URLs for my app?
A: You can copy these directly from the browser address bar while viewing your app's official listing page on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The BidWrangler onboarding or support team can also help provide these links to you.
Q: What if the App Store or Google Play badges aren't showing up in the editor?
A: If the badge graphics are missing frsom your editor, contact the support team to have the standard store badge graphics re-added or uploaded into your media library.
