advice on AMP (mobile)

Hi everyone,

I would like to set up a mobile theme for AMP only (not for mobile actually, because I like the responsive version of the normal theme much more).

My goal is to set up only my blog posts as AMP and use the normal theme for anything else. As far as I can see, that’s what all the big publishers and newspapers also do. Unfortunately, the tutorial didn’t help me with most of the issues following:

1.) As the pages built with TD Composer are not available on mobile theme, I need to use the normal blog site as my home page – how can I set up this?

2.) The normal blog site does not show any thumbnail images, as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/01drRfX – what did I do wrong?

3.) Is it possible and recommendable to direct all the links from my AMP site (especially menus and logo) to the normal responsive site? If yes, what is the best practice for it?

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙂

In the meantime, I found out that I can apply AMP only for blog posts in the AMP plugin settings, so 1.) and 3.) are solved, only 2.) is still open.

I also have another issue with my site’s logo for AMP. I tested the site for structured data with Google’s tool (https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool) and found out, that it pulls my logo from the menu bar (which is white only there) and gives it a black background, as you can see in the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/Boz8ZfS

Unfortunately, that does not look really good and I would like to have my coloured logo for AMP instead. Is there any possibility for that?

Thanks a lot in advance… 🙂

Hi Vlad,

thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately the site is not live yet, but you can access one here with the following credentials: user / userpasswd

Thanks for your help.

But what about my logo? As I have explained, Google’s testing tool for structured data showed my white logo with black background color (https://imgur.com/a/Boz8ZfS), but I want to have my normal, colored logo there. What is the best way to do so? Is there any way to specify the logo used for AMP?

I opened the site for testing. That’s why I attached the screenshot (https://imgur.com/a/Boz8ZfS) and as you can see there, Google uses the white logo.

Where does the AMP plugin grab the logo from? And is there any possibility to change?

I guess, you have got something wrong. The site is still closed, so of course Google cannot find it.

I still wonder, why some thumbnails for related post for example do not work, for example here (credentials: user / userpasswd). Could you maybe help me with that thumbnail issue?

Thanks a lot in advance.
