Can’t get a mobile menu with Newspaper theme on cell phones without turning off AMP which then hurts the desktop site by removing the hero photo and links which define the site.
Frustrated for weeks trying to solve this –
In other words:
The owner wants a “hamburger” mobile menu on cell phones. The ONLY way I’ve been able to get that is to turn off AMP. But when I turn off AMP the mobile site AND the desktop site become, and show, only the choices of posts. The hero picture and links of the main site vanish on both mobile and desktop.
I won’t bore you too much with the days of experiments and reading and working with AI trying to throw switches in Newspaper and in WP; nothing works. But I will say we’re aware of the choices: TagDiv Mobile theme plugin, cache clearing, menu settings (primary and mobile). Mobile theme is on for both mobile and AMP. All have been turned on and off several times in all possible combinations – but I’m not the creator of the site (he’s long gone) and may be missing something obvious to you. I hope!

Can anyone tell me why turning off AMP trashes the desktop site? It seems to make no sense! Perhaps this will be a good clue as to the issues –
WP: Version 6.8.3
Newspaper! Version: 12.6.8
PHP Version 8.2.29
MANY thanks for ANY help!
Hello,
Here are the three available solutions for the mobile version:
1. Responsive Desktop Version – The default responsive layout that adjusts to mobile screens using tagDiv Composer – https://i.imgur.com/apZQZ0o.png
2. Mobile Page/Template – A custom mobile layout that can be created using the tagDiv Composer.
3. tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin – A separate mobile theme that provides a dedicated mobile experience but is limited in edits and changes.
Note: When the tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin is activated, it takes priority and will be displayed on mobile devices. If it’s not active, the system will check for a mobile page/template built with tagDiv Composer. If neither of these is in use, the responsive desktop version will be shown by default.
Related to the cache, please check in the cache plugin documentation if this supports mobile cache if you are using the mobile page/template or tagDiv Mobile theme.
Also, the tagDiv Mobile theme is the only one that can be used for AMP. Unfortunately, the options for editing the layout are only a few. Also, pages need to be remade using the mobile editor only:
