First of all I had the same problems as someone here in the forum. Pages were almost blank.
You described the new mobile theme in such good words and wrote that this is the best way to show amp or mobile pages, so I installed mobile plugin and figured out that no category pages are now shown. They were all blank, because I used the category designer together with the td-Composer.
In general the td-composer is very cool to design a category page or a start home page but as I understood now if you use this built in feature of the theme the website is responsive but not perfectibility amp friendly.
Also Gutenberg an td-composer are are little bit ion the same direction.
So my questions are:
1.The future is amp? Seems to be.
2. How should I create categories. Using NO td-composer and just Gutenberg or just Classic?
3.How are YOU (rest of the internet) creating category pages? You don’t care about amp?
4. I really love the mobile plugin, but is there no chance to reach this goal with one designer and responsive view? It seems I have to choose between mobile plugin, responsive, Gutenberg, classic editor and td-composer.
5. Any more comments about this theme are welcome
For me it’s a huge thing because 80 % !!! of my user are Smartphone users. They see mobile view. I have many categories, specials ….
So after installing mobile plugin nobody saw my articles in mobile view.
Thanks for commenting
Any ideas are welcome

Hi,
Despite the template used for the category pages on desktop, the mobile theme will use it’s own template. That is the case for author pages, tag pages, etc. The mobile theme has a template for all of them which will be used.
Only pages may be blank if you do not enter content in the mobile editor for each of them
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The exception is the mobile homepage, this will display a top grid with featured posts and a latest articles section, so it will not be empty.
1. AMP has become widely used, our old dedicated AMP plugin did the job for a while. A decision has been made to discontinue this plugin and instead use the official up to date AMP plugin, which can be integrated with the mobile theme. In the coming update more options will be added.
2/3. You can design the category pages as you want, use the predefined category templates or cloud templates. These will be used on desktop, on mobile when the mobile theme is active, the mobile template will apply regardless. This theme demo has the mobile theme active, check a category page on mobile to see how it will look
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_local_news/category/tech/gadgets/
These mobile templates are AMP valid as well, since 9.6.
4. The mobile theme is created for mobile, if you do not use the mobile theme the responsive version will take place. Meaning the website will adapt for mobile or the device used. Be careful when you design templates with the composer, always check how it will look on mobile.
For example while a flex block with 3 modules per row looks alright on desktop
– http://prntscr.com/myaglu on mobile this will not be so good – http://prntscr.com/myagw0
So in this case set the block to display 1 module per row – http://prntscr.com/myah9s
Most settings are per viewport, check and configure them differently for each when needed.
5. Some examples of what exactly is happening would be very helpful. The only instance when pages would be blank is if we are referring to actual pages. With the mobile theme active each page will require 2 versions, one for desktop built in any way possible with the theme and one for mobile built with the mobile editor – http://prntscr.com/myajbc
Let me know.
Thanks

This was exactly my problem!!
I used the pages for designing my categories which was wrong.
I will think now about everything again :-).
Thanks a lot.

Designed page
That page seems to not have any content in the mobile editor – http://prntscr.com/n011gu
It is empty on mobile because of this. Please enter content for it, edit the page, scroll down and there should be a mobile editor section – http://prntscr.com/n012jr
Let me know if you need help or have more questions.
A lot of people including myself don’t want to create content twice, once for desktop and once for mobile. Can you add a setting that just lets the desktop post and page content be used on mobile? It makes it very difficult to manage two versions of each post and page and gets away from the purpose of having a responsive site.
Hi,
@seanhelmes Displaying the same content on both desktop and mobile is possible, if the mobile theme plugin is deactivated.
Posts, categories, author pages etc these will have a predefined template on mobile with the mobile theme, regardless of what is set on desktop. These predefined templates are simple, this is why the mobile theme is faster than the responsive version (non mobile theme). The homepage will show a couple of predefined elements, the rest of the pages will require content in the mobile editor or they will be empty. Currently this is how it works.
Gradually we will add more settings and options for this plugin, and improve it. In this stage we are noting every suggestion provide by users.

Now this is how Google Amp is displaying the content on mobile :-(((
index home page
https://search.google.com/test/amp?view=search-preview&id=A7QliWGuaXe-jO6eUdjJBA
so in general amp looks strange:
https://magazin.adeba.de/anwendung-aetherischer-oele/?amp
What is the problem?
I use
AMP Paired
Reuses active theme’s templates to display AMP responses, but uses separate URLs for AMP. Each canonical URL may have a corresponding AMP URL, if the content is fully AMP valid.
Plugin
AMP on your WordPress site, the WordPress way.
Version 1.0.2
and
tagDiv Mobile Theme
updated today
Setting in Mobile Settings
Mobile+Amp – Displays content using the Mobile Theme on both mobiles and AMP
Maybe check also but I think I solved it now.
No still strange
so I found out:
https://magazin-adeba-de.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/magazin.adeba.de
this looks normal
https://www.google.com/amp/s/magazin.adeba.de/%3famp
This looks bad on a mobile phone
If you google for adeba
Google shows you this as the AMP Version:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/magazin.adeba.de/%3famp
Maybe one reason???
https://ampbyexample.com/advanced/using_the_google_amp_cache/
If I enter my URL : https://magazin.adeba.de/?amp
it will change to that URL:
https://magazin-adeba-de.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/magazin.adeba.de/?amp
which looks exactly like google stored in the cache
Looks alright now – http://prntscr.com/n0vmca – http://prntscr.com/n0vmi4
AMP is valid – http://prntscr.com/n0vmt6
Some of the issues that happened in 9.6 were fixed in the 9.6.1 update, looks alright from what I can see.
