Is there any plugin for AMP. How can I activate AMP for newspaper8
I have tried plugin for Glue for Yoast and AMP. But The design went to basic HTML.
Hello,
I know, Newspaper is compatible with AMP and Yoast SEO plugin, but are you seriously considering to support it by yourself? I mean, there’re many themes/templates on Envato that now supports AMP with a first-party plugin and a dedicated lightweight template for it (and to be honest there’s is a clone of your template, it has the same clean design, its name is Publisher).
The fact is that Google is now officialy supporting AMP and increasing indexing of the sites that use it (actually Google Adsense is suggesting me to use it to optimize my website.) so i’m extremely interested to use it. But here is the problem, there isn’t a dedicated AMP template that respect my website primary design (Newspaper) and i don’t want to buy another one, because i love Newspaper and i spent a lot of time to optimize my website at the best (92/90 Google Pagespeed).
So i’m here to ask you what are you doing about it.
Thanks.
Hello! I would like to add an extra field to the author boxes. For example, I would like to add the location of each author below their name. Is the “Extra Class” field the place to do this? I see the instructions read: “Style particular content element differently – add a class name and refer to it in custom CSS.” What is the code to do this in custom CSS? Thanks for your help!
hello,
after the 8.1 theme update the tagdiv gallery has been crashed.
See the article with the wrong gallery ( it crashed globally, this is just an example) :
https://rendeljkinait.hu/f-wheel-dyu-d1-elektromos-bicikli/
Please provide the css code which resolve this chaos.
Thanks,
Laszlo
Did you test your pages with F12 to see if errors?
Google did start some big changes in August, moving stuff around, converting a lot of properties to mobile first (e.g., Google news undergoing transition to mobile first view even on desktop).
There was also update to the Automattic AMP plugin last month if using that, so change might have impacted something.
Also, as I understand it, not all pages get served as AMP versions by default since technically I think there is some usability threshold for it to get cached fully on Google’s edge CDN — but things change so much over there, hard to say.
I double check I didn’t find for example Footer > Footer info content. I can’t change the text or the logo on the footer. Do you another solution ?
Hello.
I have this problem:
When the title of a post has a part of it between quotation marks, or I use a special character like: “, ‘, ñ, ó, á, &, etc. On the meta property=”og:title” appears: " or anothers characters.
How can I avoid that this happens, because when I share the link on Facebook, all the information disapears after the first quotation marks. And I don’t think it is good for SEO.
Thanks a lot
My site http://scumbagged.com has an issue. I cannot update the footer content. That goes where footer 1, 2 & 3 is on the widget. The widget is excessible and I can add and drop things into footer 1, 2, & 3 but the changes don’t show. Everything stays the same with the “even more news” and “popular categories”. What’s going on? I’ve searched everywhere on my site to change this content and cannot find any of it.
Again another mystery is on the mainpage of my site where it says “Recent Articles” towards the bottom, I cannot find where to even edit this at… It’s not on the homepage where I go to edit it and that’s where I thought I would find it.
Thanks in advance!
What is your favorite image optimizer plugin and content cache plug-in?
How long have you used it with the Newspaper theme?
Looking for some general feedback… There are so many options nowadays! Wooh.
Thanks in advance 🙂
heh… yeah… we have CentOS on dedicated server also, and the funky thing is we run Apache, and http/2 under Plesk/Onyx has to run as part of NGINX … which sits in “front” of Apache … which is bizarre.
We’re still playing with this, since we are doing house cleaning to move fully from PHP 5.6 to 7.1x.
Too much fun! 😉
(( tested a page this morning normal page with photo + video, site branding graphics = 1.6 sec; AMP version of page, no video, no branding graphics 1.5 sec )) ….
Hey Chris, I’ve made my mind and stept off of AMP for now. Will optimize my pages further to make the speed go up and deliver a better user experience. Already upgraded to PHP 7.1, moved some non-essential JS-code to the bottom of the header, minified CSS + JS including above the fold optimization. It really works wonders so far. Have tried multiple times on a test-VPS to get http2 to run, but Custombuild 2.0 (DirectAdmin) doesn’t natively support it yet. The following tutorial for example:
https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-activate-http2-support-on-directadmin-centos
Everything goes well, until cURL comes around the corner. Online checks don’t show my websites using http2, and the following command is not being recognized: ‘curl –http2 example.org’. Can’t get it set up right, but might have to do something with the ISO that my provider uses for CentOS 7 + DirectAdmin VPS’s.
Anyway, that’s not a story for this forum. 😀
Thanks for your information so far! It has been very helpful.
Wellll…. all our news is in Google News, and has been since 2005, without AMP 😉
And luckily AMP doesn’t create duplicate content issues, since the canonical link is designed just for that purpose and the AMP version links back to the real version to solve that (same way a print template does). With our old CMS on our big site, not using WP, and generating static shtml pages), we has static print and AMP pages, and both had canonical links, and the AMP template was built off the print template since there were not AMP plugins when we got started on that (and the main site didn’t use WP at that time, but now does).
For our news pages now (not using TD theme, but custom thing), we can load up the full news story with 2 images, logos, content, queries for related stories, etc., in 1.3 sec fully loaded. AMP version is quicker. But a scaled back print version would be just as quick.
All about the payload.
And with move to PHP7 + http/2 the speed will be even faster.
I guess we’re thinking over here that http/2 with a lean template would be better than AMP for user speed on mobile in the coming year. We’re playing with this anyway.
Doesn’t solve the page count issue — but of course Google wants you to run GA on AMP, and so that might even be the only truly workable solution for metrics on AMP pages.
Anyway — back to work before Labor Day holiday here …. cheers 🙂
Hey Chris, you bring up some very good points and for most parts I agree with you. I would be way happier without any form of AMP, especially since it could hurt SEO (double content). Since my website is targeting Netherlands and Belgium (written language is Dutch), the speed of the internet doesn’t really matter since we have both very good cable- as mobile connections. See the following:
https://www.iamexpat.nl/expat-info/dutch-expat-news/netherlands-has-fastest-internet-europe
The one major problem is when you’re content marketing products, which in return should deliver good DA-ratings (Domain Authority). The mobile pages that NewsMag delivers are working perfectly fine (with a few tweaks here and there). However, when trying to get content up in Google News, it’s more likely to happen with AMP-posts, simply because of the speed and simplicity they deliver. A normal page with cache gets loaded up in like 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, yet the AMP-version takes half a second or less, most of the time even lower than 200 milliseconds locally.
So to answer your question: No, the user experience doesn’t suffer when throwing AMP-pages out to just use the mobile version. Content marketing, on the other side, does in my current opinion. It also brings more maintenance and more chains in the line that could break.
Would the opposite work? For example the Social Icons, log in are part of the side full menu on a mobile, so I do not need those to show up on the top header menu? Thanks
Since amp ‘forbids’ client side scripting, it may be they are blocking anything being ‘run’ — or it may be that it runs first time, but then when cached on Google’s CDN for edge loading, the element script can’t run, as it’s not actually on the CDN.
There are folks doing stuff with Ajax with AMP for refreshing origin content; which is a bit like expiring the bucket on a CDN to refresh the local copy of content.
Personally, I’m of a mind, that AMP is an interim solution while wifi speed and phones play catchup. For instance, a new iPad PRO is more powerful than a 10 year old PC that HTML5 was built for.
In theory, one could argue that simply building your own print template with lean code, your desired custom elements like forms, or related post, or video, or whatever, could be ‘dressed down’ to lowest form like a print template, serve that for mobile and not even use AMP. Speed would be the same, especially if you’re already using CDN — and having a lightning bolt in SERPS doesn’t mean your page is better than everybody else’s page, just that it’s compatible, and might not even show up in SERPS, with all other things being equal with relevance, site age, content, etc.
Does the user experience suffer with AMP? Then why use it?
Questions for another time and place probably, but after nearly 2 years since the BETA, we’re kind of re-evaluating this for 2018, frankly.
Just more ramblings … 🙂
You can do trial & error or try figuring out from the icon of the block. Personally, I do both 🙂
Hi there,
I have created catogories in my site like finacial services, healthcare etc.
I want to create a sidebar which i have done. However, which block do I put inside that sidebar to reflect posts are from that category? So for example the sidebar, needs to have the posts from Financial services for exmaple
Thanks
Hi,
There are header styles that would allow any image size you need as a logo
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-styles/
Header styles 9, 10 and 11 do not have limit for the logo size, you can use any image you want. This demo uses header style 10 for example
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_cars/
This would be what you are looking for. A parallax effect is not available at the moment for the logo, unfortunately.
Thanks
I haven’t been able to track the function down. Nothing in the code shows up with either ‘view’ or ‘count’ in it. I’m wondering if anybody has the solution for this, there must also be others that are using the AMP-plugin, right? Especially since Google is specifically targeting editorial-websites, which the Tagdiv themes are also for.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
I’ve tried it on five different copmuters. Windows 10 & Edge. Always the same. Inside and outside the company. So no problem of the network.
Hi,
There could be a way, but you would have to modify the post templates that you use, and the module files as well. Try something like this example for the default post template
– https://www.screencast.com/t/N72EzRfHc7e
– https://www.screencast.com/t/y2AkFw7sA
– https://www.screencast.com/t/o9KZsfRDM
And like this for the module 2 for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/JK6mINLoXt
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6IsjdcavDMB6
You could make some further tests to see if this works properly.
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to have a fixed background image that displays behind the header & the first part of the home page that shows to the user when they first open the website.
Similar to this https://2017.wordpress.net/ I just need an image not a video. I am pretty sure it’s very simple, but I’m not able to figure out which template does it.
Could you help?
Thanks,
George
Hi,
You could try a code like this for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tO5qmWtQs
#td-top-search {
left: 0;
right: auto;
}
.td-header-main-menu {
padding-right: 0;
}
Thanks
