Web Site Notifications Not Working

[arftech]

Before the installation of Yosemite, I was able to get notifications from various web sites. Is there something that has to be toggled on my end or is it bug related?

Thanks,

Do you have "Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications" enabled under Safari > Preferences > Notifications?

Yes, I do and they're also set for allow.

Maybe try removing the websites from the notifications list and visiting them again to reenable.

I wanted to log back in and give you props for the help. Yep, that was the solution and I feel like an idiot wrapped in a moron not figuring this out!

No worries. Glad I could help!

I've done this multiple times, and each time the alerts seem to only work for a day or so and then they break again!

I'm also experiencing this. Constantly removing and reactivating them on a site-by-site basis.

This looks to be a larger problem in Notification center in Yosemite. If you make any changes to apps in Notification Center, such as switch an app from Banner to Alerts.....and you restart or logout/in, the prefs you just set are discarded. I think this is causing issues with the website notifications as well.

I found this on Discussions Apple and it worked for me:

Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.

1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.

Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:


cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter


5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.


The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

Looks like it worked! Thanks for posting.

Wonder how they'll handle this in the next update, since this basically resets everyones Notification Prefs.
EDIT: Nevermind....looks like Yosemite wiped all my previous settings anyway ;-)
