Mobile AMP – Shortcomings

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 27

My overall experience with TagDiv and Newspaper has been incredibly positive. But the lack of mobile-AMP customizability is very disappointing. The “AMP-Version” included in mobile theme is so stripped-down, it’s almost unrecognizable compared to a normal site. And there are almost no back-end settings to control design, function, etc. This is the only real shortcoming with Newspaper and I hope the TagDiv team focuses on improving this feature.

For now, I will be rebuilding the Newspaper Theme “Phone Viewport” mode in AMP for mobile by utilizing AMPforWP. AMPforWP offers a fairly robust suite of tools to translate themes to AMP. I’m aware this plugin is not on the preferred list, so I’ll give updates if I run into errors/bugs.

The TagDiv support team and forum is world-class, I just hope the developers add functionality to Newspaper Mobile in the near future.

Hello !

Unfortunately at the moment there is no method to change the design of the Mobile Theme. You could probably do some slight modifications within the code but for that you will need a good freelancer or a team to do it.

The mobile theme was designed for speed and that is why the design possibilities are low.

We are sorry for the inconvenience !
