I want to use AMP on my site, and to do that I apparently need the mobile theme activated along with the regular newspaper theme. When mobile theme is active it is asking for me to create my content twice, once for desktop and once for mobile. I don’t want this. I want one post content box that is used on both desktop and mobile, and I want my mobile pages to be served as AMP. How can I do this? It is a serious flaw if I have to have two post content sections, one for desktop and one for mobile…especially for the thousands of posts I have on my site already, we can’t go back into each one and make add in new content for the mobile editor.
Just curious, Are you talking about pages or posts?
Hi,
If you want to use the mobile theme with amp, but you need to have the desktop design you can use the “AMP” option from Newspaper>Theme panel>Mobile theme>Mobile settings
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/CEVSensTM6 this option is available in Newspaper v9.6.1

Thank you for your understanding!
But then for the AMP version that gets put out in the above option you recommended do I still need to create a version of the post in the mobile editor? That’s what I’m trying to avoid.
Hi,
If you are using the “AMP” option from mobile theme, then you’ll not need to create a new content in mobile editor, will be display the content from desktop.
Thanks.
So an AMP version of my pages or posts will be created if I select the “AMP” option from the mobile theme and it will use the content from my regular post editor then on the AMP pages/posts, correct? Therefore I only need to create one version of post content for each post, not a separate version of post content in the mobile editor?
Hi,
Yes, the AMP plugin will make automatically the posts/pages amp.
If you will choose to use that options, you do not need to make separate post/page, in mobile version will be show the responsive version of Newspaper theme;
Thank you!
So then what content will show on the AMP version of the post of page if no content is in the mobile editor?
I meant to say “post or page” above not “post of page”.
Hi,
If you have pages that are build with tagDiv Composer/WPBakery or any other builders and you active amp on those ( https://www.screencast.com/t/xXxGNcLOzg ), then you’ll need to set a new content in mobile editor for amp version, if your page content is build without builder/composers is no need for a seared content ( this is apply on pages ).
If the option in mobile theme is set on “AMP” the mobile version will display the desktop content and only the AMP version will display the content from mobile editor for page.
Also you can choose the settings from AMP if you do not want to have amp on pages -> https://www.screencast.com/t/vmvEqawCU8KR
Thank you!
I am using the classic editor with newspaper theme version 9.7.2. I have the tagdiv mobile theme active and I have the AMP plugin active and “AMP” is the selected option in the theme panel settings for the mobile theme. I do not see the toggle switch option in the classic editor to disable AMP from the homepage. Why is this? I have cleared my caches so that is not the issue.
Hi,
Please make sure that at least those option are checked -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Ps0aZntzk the results would be those -> https://www.screencast.com/t/vv2iovvvVLA5 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/r4ucdDywQt

Some of the options you show in your screenshot do not show for me in the AMP plugin’s general settings. Seems you are looking at an older version of the AMP plugin. Please see screenshot here of what I see for AMP plugin settings: https://app.box.com/s/jv0cguoyo0ilb38s8dvo9hnig5e6d8a7
Also, when the tagdiv mobile theme is active, the AMP plugin’s listing in the left nav of WP-Admin does not show for me. I can only see it / access it when I disable the tagdiv mobile theme.
Hi,
The screenshots that I provide for you are from Newspaper v9.7.3, indeed in previouse version the amp is little different but it still should show in homepage if this is activate on pages.
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate all plugins and child theme ( if you are using ) and let only the tagDiv Composer , clear all cache, deactivate the cache plugin and try again.
Thank you!
