AMP Legacy reader metadata

Hi @belsit,

Thanks for contacting us; Kadence theme is listed as AMP-compatible; if you are having issues with the recent update, you can get in contact the theme developers.

Can you share your UUID id, and I can do a further investigation.

About the reader mode, You can use a compatible theme such as Astra and use the dashboard to customize because you will have support for more features with a compatible theme.

I saw that you are using a WordPress core theme; you can use the customizer to add custom CSS

But if you want to use a legacy theme, here are some answers:

– How can I remove the metadata for the amp posts?

You can edit the author template documentation here.

With CSS you can adding a plugin with or at the functions.php from your theme, the following code:

add_action( 'amp_post_template_css', function() {
      ?>
      /* Put Custom CSS below */
      .amp-wp-article .amp-wp-meta { display: none; }
      <?php
 } );

Thank you Fellyph.

As my website with the Kadence theme did not load in amp standard nor amp transitional mode, I activated the reader option.
You are saying that Kadence is amp compatible and hence should work with these modes?
You are referring me to the theme developers, but I am using the free theme version, probably no support included from them. I prefer these modes over the reader mode, so any help here is appreciated.

“Can you share your UUID id, and I can do a further investigation.” –> Could you please explain what this is and where I can find it for you?

“You can edit the author template documentation here.” –> Before opening this thread, I checked that page. But I couldn’t get it to work for me, probably did something wrong somewhere

Hi @belsit,

The Kadence theme was compromised to make the theme AMP compatible, I will double-check it, in a local environment.

Here you can check how to share the UUID:

I’ll post soon a video on how to add custom CSS to the legacy theme, but there is a video where I add some custom code, the process will be similar the difference will be the code included.

As we didn’t receive a response I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you require any further assistance.

Fellyph – I was (am) still waiting for a reply on your comments “The Kadence theme was compromised to make the theme AMP compatible, I will double-check it, in a local environment” and “I’ll post soon a video on how to add custom CSS to the legacy theme”. Any update on those?

Thank you.

Hi @belsit,

Sorry, for that.
