How to Make an AMP Ready Website with Newspaper Theme

Home

BlogDocumentationTheme Plugins

Is your website optimized for mobile? Discover how to make your pages AMP. Use the Official AMP plugin, tailored to integrate with all the features you love in the Newspaper theme.

How to install and activate the AMP plugin

Firstly, you must access the Newspaper Plugins section, which contains all of the theme’s specific plugins. Then, press the Install button for both the AMP and Mobile Theme plugin.

AMP plugin - Activate

We’ve removed the previous AMP plugin as it was built on the initial launch implementation for AMP. The latest updates for the plugin opened up new possibilities for your website and we’ve made all of them available for you.

Mobile Theme integration

Now, AMP is integrated into the mobile theme plugin for faster results. You can benefit from all of the functionalities designed for small screens devices on your AMP pages. The mobile theme settings are AMP compatible, while the mobile theme transforms your AMP pages into beautiful layouts.

Choose one of the 3 Mobile Theme and AMP settings that best fit your project:

  • Mobile – Displays content using the Mobile Theme on small screen devices (no AMP)
  • Mobile+Amp – Displays content using the Mobile Theme on both mobiles and AMP
  • AMP – Uses the responsive version of the theme on small screen devices and Mobile Theme only on AMP.

The Mobile Theme plugin is AMP native which means that all the Menus, Search button, Backgrounds, Colors, Excerpts, Ads, Custom code, now work with your AMP pages. You can find all the AMP plugin settings under the Mobile Theme settings from the Theme Panel.

Please read our official Mobile Theme Plugin Tutorial to learn how to set all of the above.

Speed is the key

Speeding up Ads is a great way to boost performance. The Newspaper Theme brings you an intelligent ad system. It also works for AMP advertising, making your ads more visible. Newspaper Theme comes with six spots where you can place ads. See the Mobile Theme settings to configure them.

There is also implementation available for Adsense Auto Ads for AMP now. You can now integrate such ads in the AMP ads section right from the Mobile Theme settings.

Tracking is important

With the AMP implementation, you can track your site traffic even on AMP content. All you have to do is access the Theme Panel > Mobile Theme > AMP Analytics, and paste your Google Analytics code. This section allows you to place the AMP Analytics code in the template header so you can track user interactions with AMP pages.

For the AMP Analytics Code to function correctly, please use the following implementation:

AMP plugin - Google Analytics tracking code

Using the SEO best practices and the recommendations of Yoast SEO plugin author, this solution is designed to work seamlessly with the Newspaper theme. You can verify that everything’s working properly, using the browser emulator or the AMP testing tool.

In order to see a preview of your amp template, simply add “/?amp” at the end of the URL and the theme will render the AMP preview.

To avoid any AMP error, we recommend disabling the admin bar for AMP pages from the official plugin settings.

Important note: the “supported templates” settings enable or disable AMP for specific templates. Make sure the template you want AMP to use on is active in this screen and make sure the Website mode is set to “Transitional”

You can also enable or disable AMP for specific posts, pages, categories, etc from the WordPress editor so you have better control over specific localized activation

The tools enhance the capabilities of your website to give you a new definition of performance.

Mobile pages should be light and fast! This way, they can keep the reader engaged and maintain return visits into favorable values. You can get a higher rank in Google search with the AMP pages and quality content. Thanks to the instant loading, the time spent on page increases, as well as the CTRs, and the bounce rates drop consistently.

  2. This is a really good article. I think it’s a really creative way to start a post to my blog, whether it’s an online article or blog post. Thank you to share this great post and your article is too good and informative for me.

    • Hi,

      We will take a look at the website, and try to provide some suggestions to improve its performance. I suggest sending us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and there please provide a link to the respective website.

      Thank you!

  4. Hii TagDiv team,
    I want to switch my blog theme to Newspaper theme, Currently I am using ocean wp. But I am afraid if i lose all custom css which i have used in ocean wp. Can you please confirm, if i change theme from ocean wp to newspaper then custom css will be there or not. Looking for best suggestion.

    • Hi,

      That depends on where you entered the custom CSS. If you entered it in WordPress directly (Appearance->Customize), then it will still be there after changing the theme. Or if you used a plugin, it will still be there. It may not apply anymore however, if the custom CSS was created specially for the previous theme, as themes do not use the same ID names and class names in their coding. Perhaps new CSS will have to be created, assuming it is still necessary. Our composer provides customization in detail, and it is rarely needed to use additional CSS. It depends. We can discuss more before you make a decision, I suggest sending us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and there please provide a link to the website, and mention a few more details about the CSS you are using and for what purpose exactly. Let us know.

      Thank you!

  5. Uma coisa, pq o AMP no Tema NewsPaper não fica compatível com o Plugin Litespeed? Existem uma forma de ajustar e ter uma harmonia entre as ferramentas?

    • Hi,

      Sorry for the delay. Normally the website itself should not be affected by AMP, in terms of the actual performance. We can take a closer look, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com so we can discuss further.

      Thank you!

    • Hi,

      From what I see AMP is not working on your website at this time. If you have set it like in the guide, it should work. We can take a look at the issue if you want us to, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login for the website.

      Thank you!

  26. When I have not enabled Mobile Theme & AMP plugins, my mobile website speed is terrible, pagespeed 17.
    When I enabled the Mobile Theme plugin, a dizzying change in speed & optimization, pagespeed 78.
    When I turned on more AMP, I was amazed, it’s amazing, pagespeed 91 (test link AMP …/?amp, real product link with lots of images & videos).
    I am very happy, thanks Newspaper Team.

  27. Hello, i am using newspapar theme from 2-3 year. but when i started AMP the problem started. all small problem is solved but, a problem is not going away.
    Problem is when any user comes into amp page through google and later they click another page that also a AMP page, but into the google analytics shows another user comes directly.and for that reason i am getting 2 user and 2 session for same user. i can not able to get true data and also getting very high bounce rate.

    • Hi Mitesh,

      Thank you for reaching out. Indeed, when someone accesses a page of your site from Google Search, he’ll arrive on an AMP page version. However, if you navigate from that particular page on another page, this will be a normal page not an AMP one. This is the way AMP naturally works. Moreover, please note that this is not a situation related to the Newspaper Theme or caused by it. Perhaps, you should configure some Custom Reports in your Google Analytics, to see the data from the AMP pages – https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9264222?hl=en. Hope this helps. If you need any technical assistance with your theme, please open a new topic in the forum or send us an email, and our Support Department will gladly help. Thank you for understanding!
