Referenced AMP URL is self-canonical AMP

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 27

The error message in the title is showing up in Google search console. I’ve had a look into what is causing the issue, and when going to inspect element in Google Chrome on my AMP homepage, it’s referencing the AMP page rather than the full homepage.
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://thethctimes.com/?amp”&gt;
This is only happening for the homepage. Does anyone know what’s causing this?
Thanks

Hi Calin,

This is the problem showing up in search console
search console

When inspecting the page through Google Chrome there’s this pointing to the AMP page
amp

On the AMP version of the same page there’s this, which I think should be pointing to the non-AMP homepage?
amp 2

Thanks

Hi,

The amp version can be change only if you are using the mobile theme and choose one of this option http://prntscr.com/opfq3m ( amp and mobile theme or only am and responsive version ) the settings that you make in mobile theme will reflect in amp too -> http://prntscr.com/opfqmm -> http://prntscr.com/opfr1o
Also in validator you need to set the url of a page or link follow by the “/?amp”
-> https://search.google.com/test/amp?id=FafHjTAmY7ieEMo_6Rum5A this will not work for your website url ( this one https://thethctimes.com/?amp ).

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Hi Calin,
I’m not exactly sure what you mean sorry. I’ve tested my homepage (the page with the error) and it shows up as a valid AMP page.

The problem is still there. What did you mean by this comment above?

“this will not work for your website url ( this one https://thethctimes.com/?amp ).”

Hi Calin,

I’m happy to do that, but I’d also like to know what’s causing the problem so I can fix it myself if it happens again next time.
Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately I can not say for sure what is causing the problem, that’s why we need access to your website, to can investigate further and if there is a theme problem we’ll fix it.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hello !

Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv Composer, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

Thank you !
