I think they are working on it.
Mobile them does not need to support AMP; as AMP is separate framework and can easily be enabled with
a) Automattic AMP plugin (from people who make WordPress)
b) Yoast SEO
c) Yoast AMP glue addon (free)
This way mobile theme used for browsers not supporting AMP; and AMP used for those that do.
Note that content plays huge part in AMP compatibility; so bad content, bad plugins, etc., all have to be massaged. Which would be nightmare for the theme devs on top of all the folks who can’t read the docs.
I don’t work here; just my opinion.
We’ve been live with AMP since Feb; in beta since Nov 2015 on our high traffic 11-15 year old news portals; and works very well. Automattic AMP plugin is good baseline to use for now as it’s also used on some of the top WP-powered sites (e.g., TIME magazine, major newspapers running on AMP, etc.). It works, and you can easily test it using Chrome and the console view.
You can do anything with AMP except you cannot load funky scripts in the header, you must only load https elements, and you must have clean code with no old-skool inline styles like
<p align="center">
should be
<p class="pcenteed">
and the like.
AMP ads are simple, just make a hook in your functions.php file to load the small 250px graphic from adsense, using Google’s examples on the adsense website, and several tutorials online. It cannot be done in the TagDiv theme panel as the amp endpoint not part of theme.
Easy to hire a WP developer if none of that makes sense 🙂
