How to Make an AMP Ready Website with Newspaper Theme

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.

  9. I heared that apm boosts ranking, but in my case it goes opposite. My ranking gone down and traffic has decreased from 1000 daily visitors to 150 visitors. Still I did not get the exact reason why this happened to me. URL =

    • Hi,

      I see you disabled AMP at the moment. I can’t say as well why would that happen, why enabling AMP for the website would cause a drop in traffic. It should be a positive step. Most unusual. Maybe there are similar cases debated online that you could check.

      Thank you!

  10. The explanation is very easy to follow the solution. Hopefully the information will continue to grow and continue to be useful for everyone. And don’t forget to be healthy and happy.

  11. Hi, I would like to set “ to prioritize fetching resources. Particularly, I would like to set this preload property for the the mobile-theme.woff file. How can I achieve this?

    I am currently using this theme in my site https://chargeruniverse.com and I’m really happy with it so far.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    • Hi,

      Yes, you can use the AMP without the Mobile Theme plugin but you will do not have more control over that section. We try ding our best and hope to improve that plugin in the near future updates, adding a lot of new features.

      All the best!

  12. is these paid features are available on this Newspaper Yoast SEO plugin?
    because paid features are avialable on Rankmath.

    So, can you told me, why Yoast Seo i use????

    • Hi,

      I don’t quite understand what you mean. The Yoast SEO plugin is not our plugin if that is what you are referring to. The plugin does have a free version and a premium version. Please check in the Yoast website to see what the differences between them are, and it you actually require the premium version of the plugin.

      Thank you!

    • Hi,

      Please make sure that you have correctly installed the AMP feature according to our guide. No, this is an optional feature that can be or not used on your website.

      All the best!

  16. I am using the newspaper them and I activated the AMP features recently for the readers. If I want to use AMP for the whole theme, is there any customization necessary?

    • Hi,

      Thanks for using our theme! No! If you want to use the AMP for the entire website you should only enable the Mobile + AMP from the Theme panel with the Mobile Theme plugin. Unfortunately, this account is not assigned to our support forum and that’s why, if you need more technical assistance, you have to open a new support ticket at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ where you need to provide more details about your problem and we are ready to help you.

  17. Your team has made our job a lot easier. If you didn’t have this theme, we would never have created such a beautiful website. But you should make some changes, such as the design of the homepage is in the theme without the pagebuilder. Because the PageBuilder slows down the speed of the homepage.

    To give some suggestions in my website, please visit my site.

    • Hello,

      Thank you for using our theme! Please note that the only way for achieving the AMP functionality on the page is by using the Mobile Theme with the AMP plugin, as you can see in our guide. Unfortunately, this account is not assigned to our support forum and that’s why, if you need more technical assistance, you have to open a new support ticket at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ where you need to provide more details about your problem and we are ready to help you.
