Hello
Our News website was using some other AMP plugins and when I found the Newspaper Theme’s AMP is available today I moved to Newspaper AMP. I have some issues and questions please as soon as possible help and support me:
1. For displaying the indexed articles of a website which is included to Google News and as the Google AMP documents described the LOGO size as the below:
”
The logo should fit in a 60x600px rectangle, and either be exactly 60px high (preferred), or exactly 600px wide. For example, 450x45px would not be acceptable, even though it fits within the 600x60px rectangle.
Publishers should use only one logo per brand that is consistent across general AMP pages.
Use full wordmark or full logo; not an icon.
The text in word-based logos should be at most 48px tall and centered vertically within the 60px image height. Add additional space to pad the height to 60px.
Logos with a solid background should include 6px minimum padding around the graphic.
”
Right now we have issue and it is too bad, please let me know how can I change the logo for the AMP pages? It is very important because when we are as a news source the indexed articles which are going to be displayed as a TOP Story or in the Google News Apps can not be display as well as and the Google said if we have any issue it will be manual action against the sites.
My another question is there is not any way to add our Alexa code for tracking by them and I see only Google Analytics, How can I add it?
Best regards and please as soon as possible help me.

I have many questions and need your supports.
About this page which is everything about Google guidelines for the AMP: is the AMP pluging included everything like: “New metadata requirements” ? And please check somethings like Logo size 600*60 , is it for the structure data only? I have changed the mobile logo in the theme now and there are some new issues: in the mobile version the new logo (600*60) is displaying behind the old logo and in AMP the menu height is smaller than 60, please help and let me know for these.
We don’t have excerpts in the AMP articles too.
Best regards.
Hi,
Our AMP plugin doesn’t have many settings at the moment, it is a simple plugin for basic AMP support.
If you require more advanced options and settings maybe consider using a different AMP plugin which can offer them. We will try to add more in our plugin in the future.
The logo used will be the one you set as the mobile logo in the theme panel

The logo size will be limited like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/yEXhaHj153
This cannot be changed at the moment by a setting. So this would not be according to the requirements you mention unfortunately.
Worth noting that our AMP plugin also does not have a menu option for AMP at the moment. Maybe this will be implemented in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
Dear Simion
I am so glad to have such support and you helped me.
We are using Newspaper theme and I have some other issues so when I see such as support even if somethings are not reachable now it can make me to ask them all other issues.
You know the AMP is so important right now specially for the news website because of Google News, its Top stories ( Displaying the Site’s Logo as a news source and…). Actually I should say when the theme had not AMP I had to use other plugins but when I found it in the recent updates I was so happy, I should say I prefer to use ourself AMP plugin instead of other plugins, so I ask you to update it as soon as possible. There is a plugin right now which I should buy it about 50$ and its name is Newspaper AMP. I am sure you can have it better and we use it even if we should buy it.
Best regards
Recently there were other priorities over the AMP plugin development, like the cloud library plugin for example. There are plans to implement many customization options for AMP in future updates, it may take some time however.
The next tasks for coming updates would be related to theme optimization in terms of performance, there will be some modifications made in this matter. Sorry again for any inconvenience.
Thanks
