I’m getting the following error “Referenced AMP URL is not an AMP” appearing in the Google Search Console. The issue only affects pages not posts.
Previously these pages worked fine in AMP. I’ve tested these pages in the AMP tester and it’s confirming they are not compliant (this was not the case before). When I enter an AMP version of my page it just redirects to the standard version of the page.
I have Newspaper v 9.7.2 installed with version 1.2.0 of the AMP plugin installed. Under the Mobile Theme settings, I have “Mobile + AMP” enabled.
Under the AMP settings, I have Posts and Pages enabled for Supported Templates. I’ve not installed any recent plugins or made any recent changes to these affected pages.
I wonder if you can advise on this issue please?
The strange thing is, when I load the 3 affected pages in a private window, the pages sometimes load as AMP and sometimes they don’t which seems strange. Also, it only seems to be affecting 3 pages not all of them. One of the affected pages simply has some plain text, nothing complex about it.
Things I’ve tried so far:
1) I’ve deactivated the AMP plugin and reactivated it and cleared the cache.
2) Checked that no AMP URLs are blocked By Robots.txt.
3) Disabled AMP for affected pages and then saved and re-enabled it again.
4) Running it through The AMP Validator (https://validator.ampproject.org) for the 3 affected pages seems to work sometimes and sometimes not.
5) Flushed the permalinks: Settings > Permalinks and saved changes.
6) Clicked on “Validate Fix” from Google Search Console but same issue.
Hi,
This problem can be from some plugins, please deactivate all non theme plugins and child theme ( if you are using ), clear all cache, deactivate the cache plugin and try again.
If there is still a problem, please provide me the links for those pages.
Thank you!
