Hi Bettina. I am really trying to not get frustrated, but it’s like you’re not even reading what I’m writing. Did you see my screenshots above? Did you see how I showed our AMP plugin settings and that we’re using the /amp/ setting for the AMP plugin? Are you all even looking at the information and screenshots that I took a TON of time to document? Or are you all just throwing out generic responses without even trying to understand the information I’m providing?
I know EXACTLY how AMP works. We’ve implemented AMP on dozens of WordPress websites and at least 15 tagDiv Newspaper sites. But this is the first time we’ve implemented AMP on a site that also uses cloud templates … and it’s NOT working the way we expect.
And you do NOT need to come from Google in order to see an AMP page. Other content aggregators such as SmartNews and NewsBreak also use AMP versions of pages. And you can navigate directly to an AMP page without having to go through Google. Here’s an AMP page on our current, old site (not a tagDiv Newspaper site):
https://hvmag.com/food/baked-by-melissa/amp/
You can see the AMP page just fine even if not coming from Google … and you can see that you don’t need to have ?amp at the end of the URL. We have the AMP plugin set up currently to use /amp/ which is just fine.
Here’s another AMP page, but on a tagDiv Newspaper site that does NOT use cloud templates:
https://biztimes.com/nine-block-450-million-redevelopment-planned-in-downtown-kenosha/?amp
You can see the AMP page just fine even if not coming from Google. This particular site does use ?amp as the setting in the AMP plugin. And it’s showing the tagDiv mobile them just fine … because the site does NOT use cloud templates.
Please … before you all respond again … take the time to actually watch the video in my first post. Then fully read my next post and look carefully at the screenshots that I included in that second post.
Thank you.
P.S. I would be willing to pay a good amount to have a Zoom meeting with you all to try to work this out. 🙂
Hello @nosisnews !
Yes. If you use a cloud template(page editable with the TagDiv Composer), then it should work.
Thank you!
You’re not reading what I wrote and it’s a bit frustrating.
We ARE using the AMP plugin and the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin. And we have the mobile theme set to only show on AMP. Did you not see the screenshots I posted above?
The problem is that the mobile theme is NOT showing on AMP pages. Instead, AMP pages are showing the cloud templates for the normal site.
Please take the time to read what I have posted and look at the screenshots.
Good day

Hello!
You can not assign a Single Template to a page, only to a post(article).
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Hi there,
I use a custom template from Cloud Templates for Single posts, and I want to use the same template (or something similar) for pages. However, I am unable to use the templates from Cloud Templates for pages. How can I fix this?
Hello Ken!
If you look on a mobile phone or if you refresh the mobile page, you can see that this is looking like this: https://prnt.sc/q861cuoF8e8d
Now, if you want to customize your pages, you should add a blank page. Unfortunately, you cannot assign the page template to the other page. They are individually, not as per the usual template. The header and the footer should be set as global. In the Cloud Templates, you have a large view of your templates. Also, you can save some rows or elements and easily add them to your page templates or any other templates. You should set the header and footer globally on every template manually.
Some videos can be found here:

Hello @russellk !
The AMP only works better with the Mobile Theme plugin.
From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP.
We have 3 options for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page.Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use the mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to disable the Mobile Theme plugin.
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria,
Thank you for being so supportive. However, as a novice, I still face a problem with reaching here (the link you provide in your answer https://i.imgur.com/5aBbx26.png).
At this stage, I can add a Single Post Template, but I cannot add the text as I cannot find out how to be on this page of your link.
It will be appreciated if you can take me step-by-step (e.g. using images or text) in this process.
Thank you again, in advance, for your great support
Dear Support,
I installed vintage_choppers_store!
How to use this page https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_shop_vintage_choppers_store/product/diplomatic-tt/
for different products?
When I duplicated this product I can not find in menu pages. How to added new product to main menu?
I want use Woo Product Template for 3 different product with its images. I changed background image in Row/Css
and I have same background image in different products.
Is it possible to resolve this?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Calin. Not sure if you watched my video or not. I am very familiar with the mobile theme plugin and options with AMP. I have used it on dozens of TagDiv Newspaper sites just fine. We only ever use the mobile theme for AMP … and we only ever use it for posts.
The problem is that posts that use cloud templates seem to ignore all the AMP settings (header, post template, footer). We don’t want that. We want the AMP version of posts to only show the usual mobile theme as configured for AMP.
In the AMP plugin, we have the following settings:
https://snipboard.io/I7N5Tm.jpg
https://snipboard.io/hFtCXc.jpg
https://snipboard.io/591vgk.jpg
Here is how we have the mobile theme / AMP configured in the Newspaper theme panel …
https://snipboard.io/dzHUZT.jpg
And here are the Newspaper mobile theme header settings …
https://snipboard.io/vsxzNl.jpg
Here’s what a post looks like on mobile using cloud templates (not AMP) …
https://snipboard.io/8EhYnw.jpg
And here’s that same post with AMP …
https://snipboard.io/4MjoNQ.jpg
Notice how the header is NOT the AMP header from the mobile theme? And the body isn’t from the mobile theme either … it’s from the mobile responsive post cloud template.
You can see that we’ve implemented AMP posts just fine before. Here is an example from another TagDiv Newspaper site … but it does NOT use cloud templates.
Normal mobile responsive post …
https://snipboard.io/56YDyw.jpg
And here’s the AMP version of the same post …
https://snipboard.io/ut1ATm.jpg
So again, the challenge seems to be implementing the mobile theme for AMP only and on posts only … but on a site that uses cloud templates for it’s normal pages.
What are we doing wrong? Or is this even possible? Thanks again!
Hi Bettina,
That’s what I have been doing, but the template always reverts to the global when I reopen the page.
I just tried it again and the new template name turned green when it was applied to the page:
Everything looked good. Then I closed the tab, clicked the preview button again (without refreshing or editing the back end), and now the global template is applied and the new template’s name is black again:
I can apply a new template but it doesn’t stay applied for some reason. Am I missing a step?
Hello @jackb149!
In the cloud templates, you can add the ads when you edit the post with TagDiv Composer in the element called ” Single Post Content ” in the tab ADS. Documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/article-ads/
Or you can use the element called “Ad box” from TagDiv Composer, and there you need to add the ads: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-adsense-overview/
In order to customize the ads on mobile, this will depend on the mobile version that you use. You can choose from three different options:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page. Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
In your example, the last column is the column from the right(desktop). But, we have an option to re-order the columns: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-re-order-the-post-page-on-mobile/
Thank you!
I think you are mistaken. This seems to be not true. You CAN, indeed, add archive template for custom taxonomy. What you’re talking about is custom post type archive template.
So if I made a custom post type called movie, I can decide how my single movie post looks like with the help of template but I cannot use the template to display all posts inside movie post type archive because archive template is not available for CPT.
On the other hand, if I add custom taxonomy called actors for my CPT movie, I have the option to decide how all the articles or posts look like inside a single actor taxonomy, say, Leonardo Dicaprio, by using an archive template from cloud library. It’s available in the theme.
So, to summarize, you can only add single post template for CPT and not archive template. For custom taxonomy, you can only add archive template not single post template.
See the image below: (Grabbed from tagDiv documentation)
It clearly says “the custom taxonomy template is working similar to a category cloud template” in the notice
You should read this page thorough:(Only takes 2-5 minutes)

It’s concerning to me if the developers at tagDiv are not even aware of this issue. I mean this is the most basic thing someone would want to do to their templates, like changing the template permalink, etc.
Please help.
Hi,
First, I want to make sure that I was able to inform you of all data about the mobile versions that our theme can have.
1. Responsive version, this is by default when you install the theme and you do not use the mobile page or mobile theme plugin.
2. Mobile page/template this allows you to create with tagDiv Composer and cloud a different layout and set different elements for mobile and iPad/tablet and it will overwrite the responsive version.
3. Mobile theme plugin, this is a light theme version for mobile that will overwrite the mobile page and responsive version if enabled. The mobile plugin is also used as a template for amp version.
So when you have a mobile page/template this will be used instead of a responsive version, but if you also have the mobile theme enabled, this one will override both of them.
How to combine them? Yes, this can be possible, for example, the mobile page/template will apply only on that page or cloud template that is assigned. But what to do if you want to use a mobile theme plugin too? If you use the mobile theme, in the Gutenberg editor it is an option to disable the mobile theme in the current post/page, if you use the option, then it will use the mobile page/template (if assigned) or the responsive version.
So in your case, you can disable the mobile theme on the homepage -> https://i.imgur.com/NX57q4t.png or if you do not want it at all, disable the plugin or use it only for amp -> https://i.imgur.com/Grlz5Ee.png.
Here is also a video that explains all those -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello @dita999 !
When a template is assigned, it should look like this in green: https://prnt.sc/LhxgWgwiNKU5
Please click on the template once in order to assign it to that page.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
I am not able to get this to work. I published the new template, and I am able to change the template when I preview the page:
I choose the non-global template, and the page reloads to the new template. But if I close and reload the page the global template always comes back.
The product I’m testing this on is a draft. Does it have to be live for the template change to stick?
Hi Bettina,
I think so !
Please take a look with the page :
https://prnt.sc/ueNpkQWf1ABq
And the post mobile template :
https://prnt.sc/Cs7SzuPQ2_mk
It’s true that one is “Single post share”, and the other one is “Social Share”, but there is no Single post share for pages.
Thanks again
Hi, Anamaria!
Thanks for your reply.
May I ask you special recommendation for Mobile version.
I use this version of Template mobile support. screen – https://prnt.sc/HFz2IS-jqL4v
How to speed up mobile page in this case – what to remove from Template?
Hi,
You use a standard template, to have infinite loading, you need to use a Single Post Template.
Thank you!
Hi dlicoppe,
As I mentioned above, after you translate a page or a cloud template from one liba to another, they cannot be translated automatically like a post, the layout will be read and the text will usually be changed using tagDiv Composer.
If you want, we can connect to check if there is a problem, but as I said, the texts must be translated manually with tagDiv Composer on each language because they are set in templates and pages with shortcodes.
Thank you!
Hi,
The Newsmag theme is not so complex, the menu, header and footer template can be removed from the theme panel, or on specific pages using hooks in the child theme. Also, the Newsmag theme has only a boxed version.
The pages can be built using the tagDiv Composer, also theer are some page template – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-page-templates/
For post templates can use the theme panel templates and you can also assign them as an individual on each post – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-post-templates/
Thank you!
Hi
I am trying to figure out how to add a template to a specific page in the Newsmag theme. I do this in other themes and there is a template to select themes in the edit page view. I dont have that. I am just trying to remove the main menu from a page
You can use a different template for every category if you use a cloud template. You can duplicate a template, install a new one and assign it to the category you like, or create one from scratch by importing a blank template and building it as you like.
Check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/different-logo-in-categorypage/; Here is explained how to duplicate a header correctly and make some changes for a category template or other templates.
You can assign the template for each category in Theme Panel -> Categories.
Thank you!
it does not work…
Here is the proof that the page is modified and translated into English:
1. https://share.cleanshot.com/LkWhzvW3
2. https://share.cleanshot.com/SklQDDvN
We make the changes in English: https://share.cleanshot.com/KfgQkKdx
we record and nothing…
it returns to the original text, it does not take into account our modifications…: The test is always in French from the popup menu on all languages: https://share.cleanshot.com/q25CJ35y
There must be something wrong with your theme…
We can give you access, but be careful not to delete items!!! Because the last time you were given access, you deleted content from us…
We noticed there are many fields of your templates in the “pages” which are not translatable… why? ON is busy redesigning your entire theme on the “pages” part. Your theme is not suitable for multilanguage. All these types of fields in pages that are not linked to cloud templates cannot be detected by WMPL… ?
