[Resolved] Is GeneratePress AMP compatible?

[Carsten]

Hi there, I have read that not all themes are AMP compatible, does GP support AMP?

I get the green flash in the Chrome browser, and in the Console
Powered by AMP ⚡ HTML – Version 2005150002000 https://domain/, (only in Standard AMP mode) but no changes in the design, and the url does not end with /amp.

Mobile menu is not working with the Standard AMP template.

My question is, is GeneratePress AMP compatible and which AMP template should I use?

Hi there,

you would need to install one of the available Amp plugins

And this plugin which will make the mobile menu amp compatible:

Hi there, thanks for the link, it solved the mobile menu issue in Standard AMP template mode.

The AMP flash is green, and the ‘Powered by AMP ⚡ HTML – Version 2005151844001 https://domain/’ is displaying in the console, confirming that it is a valid AMP page.

But there are no /amp in the url, which I have read there should be, how do I check that the pages are actually served as AMP?

Apparently the pages are not AMP, as I see my normal GP design as before, and not a more simplified design as expected, and there are no validated urls in the AMP dashboard.

There won’t be a simplified design by default – it will simply use the GP design but powered by AMP.

The actual AMP plugin should have options when it comes to different templates if I’m remembering correctly.
