My Site, ( https://micheletorr.net ) is based on Newspaper 11.5 with the igossip demo. The site works very well, on both desktop and mobile, there are only a few little design problems with ACF-Fields. My site is a Fan-Site, and for Fan-sites of any kind the user-experience is one of the most important things. So i ask any one who reads this: Is there a real good advantage for the User-Experience, made by the mobile theme ? And is it worth to change a running system.
An example with smartphones. If you have an iPhone 5, and you are very satisfied with it, you have a big advantage when you switch to an iPhone 12, despite all your satisfaction. A bigger one than if you switch from an Iphone 12 to an Iphone 13 Plus. This is what i want to know.

I honestly don’t see the point of the mobile theme. The only argument would be if it offered better pagespeed values, but when I look at my site, the values are significantly better without the mobile theme. Besides, it is easier to optimise Newspaper without the mobile plugin together with W3 Total Cache and a few lines of code. P.s. Cheers from Germany too đ
Hello!
For the mobile version, we have 3 options. The best one depends on each user. You can choose to use whichever one is more affordable and useful for you.
A full explanation you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
The best and newest feature is the mobile pages, which are 100% customizable and work as you want.
For example, if you need to have AMP, then I recommend the Mobile Theme plugin. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
Thank you!
I would no longer recommend relying on AMP. Google has dropped AMP and more and more websites are throwing it out. It is also a lot of work as errors occur time and again that can lead to ranking collapses.
AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is an optimised website page format for mobile devices. AMP pages are designed to provide accelerated page display on mobile platforms. There are several plugins that automate this. In practical terms, it is an automatically generated, slimmed-down version of your website.
It was also practical for a long time, as AMP pages ranked better, but the advantage is now gone.
@Micha @Bettina – Based on anything i read here i think i can leave my site as it is. I think i will find a solution to give my ACF-Fields the right position.
The tagDiv composer simply lacks a schematic view where you can see the elements as simple blocks in their arrangement. Like Divi or Visual Composes have it.
I’ve been very interested in this topic for a long time. I’m always looking for discussions everywhere about the topic of AMP or mobile-optimized website themes.
The mobile theme on the newspaper in my opinion is the best choice right now if you want something faster than other themes.
If you install it with AMP it will be an even better choice, but with the big drawback of removing all existing designs. It’s the same as mobile Themes but even faster.
From my latest analysis, if your website is designed for news using AMP is the best choice because you will get exclusive rights from Google that carries this AMP, I recommend it for now.
But if your website is fast before using AMP or mobile themes I don’t think it’s necessary.
*The benefits of using a mobile theme, AMP or mobile theme + AMP differ from choice;
>If you only use a mobile theme, it is possible that other plugins that you apply will work optimally with a simple mobile website appearance.
>If you only use AMP, it allows the website to be faster but very simple and will execute plugins that are not optimal with AMP or do not support AMP.
>If you only use mobile + AMP themes, I’m actually quite confused by this but the mobile website will have 2 versions namely mobile and AMP themes that visitors can choose from.
**Simply put, both mobile and AMP themes aim to make visitors or readers who come can access the page quickly and visitors who have very – very slow internet (even for users who are still using 3G networks) will be happy to access the AMP site.
