Hello
After installing wordpress amp plugin with mobile theme, in native mode template, google is not able to differentiate amp and normal version as canonical tag is using default url. Google deindexed our amp pages and we are lossing visitors.
Please add canonical tags in both amp and normal version so thag google can index amp pages.
This is pure violation of seo optimization.
Hi,
Besides the fact that you have activated the amp, you also have to activate the mobile theme and then activate the AMP functionality from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7iyT8SMWnkVB
The initial AMP plugin we released was designed based on the first version of the official AMP plugin for WordPress. Even though it was a tagDiv plugin, it still required the API of the official plugin. The changes came from the official plugin as they limited the theme support in the version we used and instead of updating it, they launched a new version with another, better implementation. They also announced the initial release will shortly become deprecated. This is why we decided to abandon our initial AMP plugin and use the new AMP implementation through the mobile theme. The new version required a specific theme for it as it would not have worked through the standard theme. There was no decision to take, unfortunately. If we have not made this step, soon the AMP plugin would have stopped working once the official AMP plugin implementation we used became deprecated.
For more information about this functionality, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thanks for oyur understanding!
Its not about the working , its working fine but google has deindexed the amp pages and there is no canonical tag for amp pages for both mobile and desktop code.
How will google find the amp pages as it needs canonical url for amp.
Top stories and google news has stopped showing our site.
Hi,
When the AMP plugin is active, the theme should load the AMP in native mode, without canonical URL, when the website is accessed from mobile devices. Unfortunately, I cannot say for sure when exactly, Google treats this aspect but might exist the possibility that Google to not receive AMP in native mode and not from canonical URL when the site is not accessed from the mobile devices. I’m not aware of this case but I will forward placed this task to our developer’s team for more deeper investigations which should be done.
Thanks for your understanding!
