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:

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.

    • Hi,

      That is correct, when the mobile theme is active the transitional mode will be used automatically for AMP. If you are having problems using the AMP and mobile theme solution, please create a new topic in the theme support forum. Or send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and mention as many details about the issue as possible.

  21. Hi

    Does the AMP work without “Mobile-theme-plugin”?
    I want to use AMP on mobile-responsive default layout of newspaper theme?
    Also, would it support auto-scroll to next post feature on AMP?

    Thanks

    • Hi,

      Yes, and AMP works with a Newspaper theme without a mobile theme and also, the infinite load scrolling functionality is not implemented on AMP and we do not know if we will implement something like that in near future updates, sorry!

  35. I followed all the steps mentioned above, but whenever I am opening my site on the amp, Google ads are not displayed. Please let me know how to fix this.

  39. Since the last update i the desktop page shows up as a AMP page on pc laptops across all browsers. Not every time how to force full desktop display on laptops and desktops?

    • Hi,

      So the mobile theme displays on desktop? That should not happen. In almost all cases such issues are caused by various caching plugins, or settings from them. Try to clear the cache, or even deactivate the caching you use to see if this solves the problem. We recommend the WP Super Cache plugin if possible, with this configuration https://tagdiv.com/wp-super-cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ which works fine with the mobile theme.

      Thank you!

    • Hi,

      I have inspected the website, from what I can see there is no AMP version available at the moment. Are you sure you have followed the guide correctly? All that is required is to activate both the AMP and mobile theme plugin, select one of the 2 AMP options in the theme panel https://prnt.sc/pydssf and choose what content should use AMP https://prnt.sc/pydt0l Then there should be no problem, But in case there is, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login. Also provide a license key with valid support. Let us know.

      Thank you!

  46. Hello,

    Thanks for your help.
