Hello,
My website (www.universocreativo.org) does not show the mobile version (and AMP version) that I have designed, but it shows the design in a different way… I do not know why this happens, since I have created all the mobile templates of all the cloud templates, and I have also created the mobile versions of the pages (attached screenshot). I have also configured the AMP plugin options (attached screenshot) according to your instructions here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
Maybe they have something to do with the configuration of the “Mobile Theme” options of the Theme panel I have (I attach a screenshot).
To be honest I am quite unhappy with the Newspaper theme… I find the theme administration complex, the learning curve slow and it is making me lose a lot of time (and I have many years of experience designing WordPress websites and I have used many different themes and also different WordPress page builders…)
My website is under development I can provide you with a username and password to access.
Thank you very much in advance for the help because I feel a bit lost and I would like to finish this website as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Carlos
Hello Carlos!
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.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use the mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to disable 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.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
Thank you very much for your answer. Now I am clearer on how it works.
But I have one last question please. For speed and optimization you advise to use the Mobile theme right?, so if I use Mobile theme for Mobile + AMP (which is advisable right?), it is no longer necessary for me to create the Mobile specific pages for the Cloud Templates and for the WordPress pages right? And I suppose that by removing all these mobile pages the website will be lighter and faster right?
Thank you very much in advance!. Best regards,
Carlos
Hello Carlos!
Yes, it could be quite faster. However, I believe you can improve your page speed by using other mobile versions.
Thank you!
Hello Bettina,
Thank you for your answer. So to have a faster website you advise me to use version 2 that you have told me? that is to say the mobile pages instead of option 3 the Mobile theme plugin + AMP?
And one last question … with the Mobile theme plugin can not customize the look of the WooCommerce store?
Thank you very much in advance!. Best regards,
Carlos
Hello Carlos!
You can have a faster website with any version how I said above.
There are a lot of factors which can make your site slow. Make sure you use only some templates and fewer functionalities and options.
Some factors which you need to take into account are:
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin or not, if you are using the PRO demo or a standard one.
Unfortunately, no. Because the Mobile theme plugin overwrites the cloud templates.
Thank you!
