I have another open case, but am opening another one, since I am having lots of SEO issues currently vis-a-vis Google bots. This case is about AMP….in order to increase mobile accessibility, I installed amp plug in.
Although it says “official” for WordPress themes, it seems that it doesn’t work with your theme. More specifically, it works fine when you directly type (copy/paste) the URL to access pages, but it doesn’t work when you use Google search my page using keywords. When you click the link suggested by Google (which shows google.com/s/amp before the actual URL), it becomes no responsive.
I opened a case with AMP for WordPress, and below is what they found. I am just copy/pasting it:
******
When 1) For Transitional mode (for AMP), it looks like the Page Preloading option under Enfold > Theme Options is involved (screenshot). Once toggled off, the AMP page renders. (NOTE: page renders with their phone test, but it doesn’t with my phone. Can you please try? My site is currently set transitional amp mode with page preloading option off.)2) For Reader mode (for AMP), when using the Advanced layout builder I experience the issue with the main content not loading on the page. With the default editor the content renders.
From what I can tell, Enfold does not state specific AMP support currently. In some cases, theme and plugin authors will need to make changes to the way they implement functionality and design on AMP posts/pages to meet the specification (see amp.dev and amp-wp.org for more)
Consider reaching out to the Enfold team to inquire about improving AMP compatibility if you’d like to use these features your non-AMP and AMP posts/pages. We also have a list of AMP-ready plugins and themes on the ecosystem page.

Well, AMP for wordpress is suggesting that I could switch to an AMP-safe theme, but I am hoping that I could keep using your theme. Could you please look into this and let me know? Thanks!Hi,
We are sorry for the late reply!
I checked your page and fullscreen slider at the top of your page and menu does not show up in current mode on my end. Attached screenshots in private content field below.
I believe the Reader mode issue is related to the way we display the content in Advanced Layout Builder and solving that would be more difficult.
Have you tried using this plugin instead – https://wordpress.org/plugins/accelerated-mobile-pages/? If you have, please create temporary admin logins and post them here privately so we can try to fix fullscreen slider issue :)
Best regards,
YigitOh okay thank you… do you recommend that plugin over the official one?
I am so weary of plugins now, because small issues in them can make Google bots to decide not crawl/index my pages, and it takes long time to fix it. I have another open case with you, which is also related with Google bots. I haven’t been able to fix it yet, though I did what you guys suggested. I don’t want to take any risks right now by chanting the plugin unless I am 100% sure it won’t cause Google problem. Current AMP pages are indexed by Google.
Back to AMP….when I started using the AMP plugin, my pages on the mobile phone were completely inaccessible. But it’s now just the matter of missing full slider, so I can live with it. It’s not pretty, but is better than losing ranking on Google.
I will wait until you recommend AMP for WP over the official one. Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, AMP tries to re-create the pages with alternative html and strips out css from the page, I don’t see what is braking the slider, Please include an admin login in the Private Content area so we can investigate.Best regards,
MikeSorry for the late reply. I was just watching how my page showed. Right now the slider is showing correctly. I don’t know why, but it’s all good. So please close this case. Thank you.
