A plugin is useless with such a high number of transients, what I did was:
I deleted them using WP-CLI
I stoped using the official pluginAMP + Newspaper, because the integration is poor (toons of DB and search console errors)
One of my sites is now using Newspaper + AMP for WP plugin, the other one is using the Generate Press theme (very fast btw) + official pluginAMP
But I’m still looking for real MOBILE-FIRST news theme solution, I don’t understand why every theme is still desktop-first
@simchris, this is NOT a “business” or “agency” theme, this theme is called “Newspaper” for a reason and AMP is a MUST for news sites

For “most” blogs there are other themes.
Indeed:

Thank you for your answer @Catalin
We know that AMP ads are not like regular Ads, in fact our AMP Ads were working good enough until Version 9.5

9.5 was a disaster for Us, AMP plugin is already disabled, right know we are working on cleaning the DB, because our wp-options table has almost five million entries with transients and class names td_uid_1_5c82894a1a5a7_rand.
This install was working perfectly before 9.5
@Catalin, this is not due to Newspaper, but due to a serious bug with the AMP plugin , in fact the AMP plugin team just requested an SQL dump from my DB, this was also checked by the WP-Rocket plugin developers and by Kinsta Support.
I reporting this here because of your unfortunate choice to link Newspaper critical options (for news sites) to the AMP plugin.
I’m not the only one reporting BIG issues like the AdSense earnings drop or the Search Console alerts.
And that’s just the beginning; did you see this?

Get ready, that’s not the only issue you are going to have; check this.

Plus, deactivating the AMP plugin, gives me a blank home page.
I had to change the blocks Calin, this is not happening with every block, but some specific ones, like Block 11
Also, this issue was also reported by Firefox-PC users
Our media library was just offloaded to Amazon S3, may it be related to this issue?
In today’s Internet, more than 60% of the traffic is mobile, I can’t believe that TagDiv still makes desktop-first products
Thank you Simion, we’ll be looking forward to it.
BTW, I know that you Disqus is not a top priority, but please, take a look, it’s an AMP compatible plugin that’s also a MUST for any solid-traffic news site

Best.
Calin, TAGDIV made a great work with this theme so far, but It is time to really move to a mobile-first world, 60% of our visits are mobile (and this number is growing).
Check Theme Forest, there are several news themes already promoting themselves as mobile-first.
Hi Calin, thank you for your follow up, let me answer.
SHOW ON AMP is active
DISABLE ADMIN BAR ON AMP is active
That give us:
– TONS of error alerts from the Google Search Console (a drop in the search rankings is probable)
– We are unable to use critical plugins like DISQUS
– Mobile Google Analytics issues. Guideduchien wrote: “Before i had a bounce rate average on mobile 86 % and page views per session 1,28. But now with tagdiv mobile theme and amp plugin, bounce rate is 1,96 % and page view per session 2,32, it’s not possible.”
– Reported problems with the speed of the site
– Post views not counted on mobile
– Invalid AMP links
Your fix does solve the Internal WP error messages, but nothing else.
Regards.
Dear Bogdan, we understand your explanation, but the results are there; SHOW ON AMP is useless (unless you want to lose search ranking), yes, you can turn it OFF, but then you have other issues.
My traffic is already 60% mobile (I’m pretty sure most in this forum have similar numbers), so I need a theme with a good to great mobile versión, the current version of your theme is not.
Please, let us know if you acknowledge this situation.
What AMP plugin are you using Daniel?
I tried two and the site crashed on activation
Where can I get version 9.5?
Well, seems that we must turn OFF this option

Turning it ON breaks so many things (Disqus comments, etc)
But now my AMP pages are plain HTML, no styles
The previous theme version was way better.
Follow up. This issue persist in Theme/Plugins V 9.6
I turned off every plugin but Cloud Library, and voila!, the ADD NEW button is there

Unfortunately this button is useless without Tag Composer, but as soon ass Tag Composer is turned on, the ADD NEW button is gone again

I’ll send an email to contact@tagdiv.com
Regards.

Update: this issue seems to be related to the WP rocket plugin
Worked beautifully
Thank you Simion!!

Sure, this is an example, all the images are using class=”alignnone”
Thank you Simon, but I have over two thousand images, editing each post is not an option.
I need a CSS solution, can’t find one yet.
🙁
Got it, thank you Cat
Thank you Cris!
