First WebStory AMP Issues

@jhardin01 Hello there. Web Stories are powered by AMP, which adds some restrictions on a page’s allowed markup. For Web Stories to be eligible to appear on Google Search or Google Discover experiences, they need to adhere to various AMP specifications.

In some cases, other WordPress plugins can interfere with stories and insert disallowed markup, causing AMP validation issues.

If you’d like to share your Site Health information, I’d be happy to check for any obvious plugins that could be causing this conflict. In your WP Admin Menu, can you navigate to Tools > Site Health > Info tab > Copy info to clipboard? You can share privately if you prefer.

Thank you for that explanation!! 

I have copied and pasted below the Site Health info!

@jhardin01 Thank you for submitting your Site Health information.

Would you be able to disable your theme and then switch to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-One just for a brief moment to rule out your theme as a possible conflict? Please also disable the Ezoic plugin. Once you disable it briefly, test your story URL at https://search.google.com/test/amp, then let me know if there are still any validation errors.

The only error left is “Custom javascript not allowed.”

Is there a way to NOT change my theme though? I have Ezoic ads running on and I got an error message about changing it.

I have changed it back to Generate Press for now

I ran a test on my normal theme too and the only error is “custom javascript not allowed,” but in the google search console i get all the other amp errors

Are there any updates to how I fix this?

Thanks!

@jhardin01 Hi there. The issue is that one of your plugins is inserting custom JavaScript, which is not allowed in AMP/Web Stories. We are continuing to test on our end, but it is best if you can test on your end as well.

To identify which one is the culprit, you’ll have to disable your plugins one by one and retest the story in the AMP validator.

For example, disable the “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin then check for any validation errors. If the error persists, reenable that plugin then disable another plugin like Grow Social Pro and do the same until the error subsides.

Thank you, I will try that.

Is that just the correction for the javascript error, or should that correct all the errors?

@jhardin01 It seems after you disabled your theme, three of the four validation errors were resolved, and we can suspect your theme is the culprit for those.

We are now trying to identify which plugin is causing the javascript error.

I am back to my original theme. I really don’t think I should have to change my theme, it’s premium and I have ads on it.

How can I fix it without theme changing?

Update! I did delete some plugins I don’t use (while staying on my current theme) and now I only get the javascript error. The others have gone away

@jhardin01 The Web Stories plugin itself doesn’t do anything with the theme, but that doesn’t mean that there can’t be conflicts and incompatibilities. This kind of troubleshooting can get pretty complicated and technical, so I think the best next step here is to contact your theme developer to see if they can help (with those three errors), as they know their theme’s code and where possible conflicts could exist.

@jhardin01 Thanks for the update. I know you mentioned deleting some plugins, but were you able to disable plugins one at a time to test the custom javascript error?

When testing your story URL all of the validation errors still occur: https://search.google.com/test/amp/result?id=LlTkcY7Y2Wcs2A1XMvTnoQ

Yes, they came back. I deactivated each plugin one by one and ran the tests and no luck.

Web developer said should not be an issue with the theme. can it be fixed with an AMP plugin?
