AMP Page builder doesn’t work

Hi, @kampun

Sorry to butt in here, but I’ve also had page builder problems that necessitated me staying up through the night to get the AMP version working.

If you try adding /amp/ to the end of your url, you’ll see that the AMP page is working – there’s just no content on it yet.

I’d suggest building your lead AMP page with a few basic modules (text, images etc) and then checking the ‘use this content as AMP’ checkbox – which will disable all the content you have on there and use the AMP version instead. (Your main full website page will NOT be affected by this!)

Then build a small menu and name it ‘AMP menu’ or similar, then go through all the pages that you wanted adding and do the same process as above for your home-page.

Pain in the arse I know, but if you wanted your own design on AMP pages, it really is the simplest way!

@steveraven, thank you very much for the care.
See my issue is to save the content entered of different blocks like images, text etc when entered through the AMP plungin interface but I can save and then publish too by WordPress’ native text editor. Since I use 2017 theme, the front page is not AMP friendly and therefore want to create one and would make it front page.
Please revert, howdid you fix your issues, if you can recall?

Yes, I can recall very clearly.

After enabling the plugin, and setting it to run on PAGES, it just didn’t look right – images duplicated many times, and my Visual Composer text blocks just showing as code.

So before I deactivated the plugin (like every other AMP plugin), I thought I’d have a mess around with the page builder.

Leaving my full website as-is, so it wasn’t affected by any AMP limitations, I downloaded the AMP page builder – which is SUPPOSED to work with Visual Composer – but I found that it didn’t.

I then selected the home-page, and a few custom post type pages, and put them all into an AMP menu.

The BLOG posts didn’t need messing around with, as they were all intact anyway.

The PAGES and CPTs however DID need playing around with, and I got around the AMP discrepancies by using the AMP page builder that comes with AMP4WP.

Check the ‘Use Builder’ option, and then add images, call-to-actions, texts, sliders etc until you have a page that shows vaguely what your full homepage shows.

The ‘Use Builder’ option lets you build new pages that only show up in your AMP version.

For these pages that you’re building using the page builder, make sure that you UNCHECK the option to ‘use this content as AMP content’, so that your page builder adventures take priority.

The ‘use this content as AMP content’ option should only be used on blog posts and pages that don’t need the page builder used on them.

Finally, just make sure that the option in the admin sidebar – ‘show AMP for current page’ – is set to SHOW.

When you now ‘publish’ the post and go up to the nav-bar to ‘visit AMP’, you should now see all of your new additions from the page builder added and be able to adjust them as necessary.

My MAIN problem is that I am not able to save and publish newly created page using AMP Page builder. Attached Screenshot for your reference.

Seems to me that your ‘publish’ button is greyed out.

Are you using Guttenberg?

If so, try using ‘Classic Editor’ instead.

Hello @steveraven,
Thank you very much for the repeated replies and support.
As per your suggestion, I have removed Guttenberg and started to use Classic Editor in place.
Later I created an “only” AMP page for front page usage and set it as front page in AMP. It worked.
Thank you.
P.N.: I have few questions about AMP and SEO, but I will shoot them online preferably on this Plugin support page. If possible pl reply.

Good, I’m glad you got it sorted.

If it’s anything to do with page building, I’ll have a go at replying – but if it’s anything really technical, I’d better leave that to the plugin author to put right.

There’s a lot to be learned from watching support replies!
