I’m currently in the process of trying to turn on AMP while still having my pages displayed nicely on mobile. I’m quite confused with it all because from what I’ve found there’s 4 different places to “switch on” AMP.
1. In the Theme Panel –> mobile theme there’s 3 options for mobile, mobile + AMP, and AMP
2. In pages there’s options on the sidebar to enable/disable both AMP and mobile theme
3. In individual posts there’s the same options as the pages
4. When clicking on the AMP plugin on the left hand sidebar there’s also the options to turn on and off the supported templates.
What’s the difference between mobile theme vs AMP theme? I’m assuming AMP is simply a faster version of mobile theme, but I haven’t been able to see any differences visually.
Also I’m confused why point 1. above has an option “mobile + AMP”.
I’m also assuming that to have AMP working correctly I should enable it on all four options above. From the right hand sidebar in pages and posts, do I need to switch on/off the mobile template? Or does that not matter if I have my mobile theme set to “AMP” only vs “AMP + mobile”?
Thanks
Hi,
We recommend to use the mobile theme plugin with amp plugin, in this way the amp will have the mobile theme layout, from mobile theme you can change the only mobile, both or only amp, you can check more here.
This option is an individual option http://prntscr.com/p0rhm5 maybe you do not want to have a post or page in amp version and the options from amp plugin http://prntscr.com/p0ri6h indicate on what will be apply the amp, on pages, posts, etc.

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Thanks for clearing up the problem with text not displaying, I didn’t realise I had to copy the text into the mobile editor to make it visible on AMP.
I’m having a lot of trouble still with trying to get the footer correct. I’ve tried turning off AMP on the footer page, however it’s still showing up as AMP. Is this because it is hosted on every page (which is set to AMP)?
I’m also still confused with the three options of mobile, AMP + mobile and AMP only. Could you please explain the difference between these further?
One last question, is it typical for a bit of a lag between making changes in the templates and seeing those changes on a website? Some of my pages seem to update instantly, but others might take up to a day for the changes to roll through.
Thanks
Hello,
The mining of those option
mobile – will be display only mobile theme without amp
AMP + mobile – will be display the mobile theme and amp
AMP – will be display the responsive version of theme and amp
The Mobile Theme -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
If there is still a problem with your footer, please provide me a link where I can check this problem.
The last question regarding the changes that take some time until appear, is because you or your host are using a cache plugin, make sure that you clear all cache after you make any changes in theme panel, post pages …
Thank you!
