Search Results for 'amp'

You can embed shortcodes into a custom snippet of any code, like ads, etc., using the filter hooks in the AMP plugin docs to add a block of code at footer in the AMP template.

For videos, yes, we use the template with “no featured image” for the post, then put the video at top of the post box. We also do this for some book reviews where the book cover is tall and skinny and doesn’t work well for any of the featured sizes.

Or, you could create custom field for your video, then add an amp-iframe video box by inserting the shortcode at footer of the amp template.

By example to play with, which must be added to main functions.php

//Chris EXAMPLE AMP FOOTER

add_action( 'amp_post_template_footer', 'xyz_amp_add_pixel' );

function xyz_amp_add_pixel( $amp_template ) {
    $post_id = $amp_template->get( 'post_id' );
    ?>
<div class="s2pamp02">
    <p><em>My super special copyright notice goes here.</em></p>

<!--Related posts / or any compatible shortcode for plugin-->
<?php if ( function_exists( 'echo_ald_crp' ) ) echo_ald_crp(); ?>
</div>
    <hr/>
<div class="s2pamp01">

        <hr/>
    <h2><strong>Wow it's Chris' headline!</strong></h2>
    <p>You can put text here, isn't it amazing!</p>
    <hr/>
    </div>
    <?php
}

“So, you generally need to “roll your own” social buttons, or use a plugin that is AMP friendly that will “insert” things at bottom of the AMP footer (e.g., we use a related posts plugin that does this).”

In this case, you’ve used a related posts plugin to insert social buttons?
When using some plugin to insert social buttons on the body of the text, would make the plugin amd collect the codes of button and show page amd, but would also be shown in the original page and already have the social buttons.

“Often with a video, you can simply use a normal post, then put the video at top inline using oembed vs making a “featured video” unless you want to come up with your own workaround.”

In the case of the video, what do you mean, would put the video in the body of the text (in the first line), is it?
If so, then I would have to change the layout of the theme (style 11) for a simpler layout as, for example, the style 5, is it? That way, and could not work with the 9, 10 and 11 style?

I appreciate.

Mobile devices need smaller footprint page loads for better user experience and SEO, etc.

Complex page => desktop

Simpler page, less bandwidth, smaller footprint => mobile

This is why Google and others have come with alternate solutions like AMP, etc.

Mobile speed *is* now a ranking factor for mobile with majority of web traffic NOW on mobile devices.

So, the idea is NOT ridiculous, but clever way of serving two version of site when “responsive” alone is not enough for some people. And surprise, you can turn it off if you RTFM.

Welcome to webdev, always a learning experience.

Note that Facebook sets a redirect for all links from FB to a website as well as tracking cookie; if your site does not properly allow redirects or has “too many redirects” then some devices will fail, especially mobile.

If somebody can access your website from any other link except Facebook, then it’s fairly clear the issue is how the site is setup to accept inbound traffic from Facebook.

If your site has popups, popunders, conflicting Facebook data on page, etc. these can also impact FB links on landing.

I don’t work here, just some feedback.

Also note if your site is https and SSL3, TLS1 and 1.1 are deprecated (which are insecure), some older web browsers cannot connect at all over https and will not load page. For example with http/2 and https, old web browsers cannot connect to an https page properly in many cases.

You need to use the filter hooks from the AMP support page to “add” the video to footer of your AMP pages, as the AMP “pages” from your post only pulls the materials in the “post box” — not any plugins or custom coding from your theme. So the AMP version will only get videos which are “inline” to the post and not “featured” videos or images.

So, you generally need to “roll your own” social buttons, or use a plugin that is AMP friendly that will “insert” things at bottom of the AMP footer (e.g., we use a related posts plugin that does this).

Often with a video, you can simply use a normal post, then put the video at top inline using oembed vs making a “featured video” unless you want to come up with your own workaround.

This is how we have been doing on our sites since the beta started last November.

That may not be any help; just food for thought in that with most AMP customizations, hooking into AMP from a theme developer perspective is a like having to manage an entirely new theme.

TagDiv would almost need to make a separate plugin to sell just to cover costs of the support on doing that.

Thanks Bogdan! Yes, we’re not familiar at all with your product. We’d lunched our 110 page website using a completely different set of products; tools & templates, having to re-educate ourselves on your platform has been a challenge and detailed info is very helpful. We’ll follow your instructions and hopefully will not have to ask for further clarifications.

One pesky problem, the weather widget that ships with the template is useless for our location – always off by 10-15c. I’ve contacted the provider over a month ago and they are aware of the problem but have not corrected it. I attempted to install a different widget that we use and has proved to be very accurate on our existing site but it does not show up as an available choice for the sidebar. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi

You can use theme’s blocks to achieve a similar functionality. For each block you can set a background color and the rezult will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/oJYmLSVJWx7 – http://screencast.com/t/lpOiW9bmmTh
This is just a basic example but you can customize it i many different ways in order to achieve the desired result.

Thanks!

Hi.

As requested, here are two screenshots from the tech pages of a newspaper website

DailyMail.co.uk with side boxout

DailyMail.co.uk with large boxout

As you can see in these examples the boxes each have their own headline. They can be coloured. And they can be positioned on the side of the page or a full width box and include images within.

In tech, and in all other articles they are great for sharing extra supplementary information. They also make the page easier to read and attractive.

Is there is an easy way to do this with the theme, or is it a feature that could be developed? It would be amazing as it is a core design feature of magazines, and by extension, magazine & newspaper websites.

Thank you! 🙂
