Newspaper theme with tagDiv Cloud Fitness Pro template
Issues with mobile (2nd build had to scrap the first one because of tagDiv Mobile + AMP conflicts with TD Composer responsive Fitness Pro Cloud Template.
1. I want to edit in one place.
2. On my first build, I noticed that by installing the recommended tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin, it overwrites the responsive customizations that I made in TD Composer. And even worse, when I installed the AMP plugin from the Newspaper plugins dashboard, it created error codes visible at the footer. Uninstalling did not help. I had to completely uninstall the theme and start everything from the beginning. Not fun.
3. On my 2nd build, I did not install the tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin. I did install AMP.
4. On my 2nd build of thisisfootballin.com using the Fitness Pro Cloud template I customized all formats (desktop viewport, landscape viewport, portrait viewport, mobile viewport) in the TD Composer. I like the visual layout/design aspects of the Fitness Pro template the way it appears in the responsive format (the mobile viewport) when customizing using the TD Composer.
5. In tagDiv Cloud Templates I was able to edit the header with TD Composer for all formats (viewpoints). The same is true for the footer. However, the homepage templates show “Homepage – Fitness Pro” as front page “yes” and mobile template ” – ” beneath this is shows “Home” as an unchecked box for front page and “yes” for Mobile template.
* Homepage – Fitness Pro = https://thisisfootballin.com
* Home = https://thisisfootballin.com/home/
6. When I edit Homepage Fitness Pro in TD Composer it has all viewpoints but says “create mobile page” even though it clearly shows the mobile viewpoint with full customizations and when I open the site on mobile it shows the same as described in #4 above.
7. When I edit Home in TD Composer it brings up a different view of mobile and says “edit mobile page”
I do not want to do all these edits again and I am very confused as to why the mobile viewpoint in Homepage Fitness Pro in TD Composer is not registering as the mobile template under Fitness Pro in the tagDiv Cloud homepage templates.
8. This becomes an issue when in the TD Composer editing Homepage Fitness Pro in the mobile viewpoint. When I tap the menu icon to edit, it opens the preloaded mobile menu from the tagDiv Cloud template “home” and there is no way to edit this that I can find.
9. Also why would I have 2 home pages?
10. Forget even trying to do this is tagDiv Mobile theme plugin…
11. Am I doing this all wrong? I want the speed and ability of the tagDiv mobile + AMP but the design of the mobile viewport found in the TD Composer for Fitness Pro template. The plugin doesn’t offer any of the customizations that are preloaded with the Fitness Pro template.
Hello @misschrista13!
We have 3 options for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page.Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.

If you need to use the mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to uninstall the Mobile Theme plugin.
The AMP works better only with the Mobile Theme plugin. From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP. Please read all about AMP here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
You should assign the mobile page to the desktop one. Please check the guide for mobile pages presented above once again and verify all the steps.
Thank you!
