Anyway to Exclude Specific Categories From AMP

    Is there anyway to exclude specific category and sub-categories that fall in it from AMP?

    Or let me put it this way, anyway to include only the articles in x, y and z categories in AMP while leaving the rest to serve non-amp pages?

    Been trying to avoid third party plugins that are way too cluttery for primarily a content-driven site.

    Hoping the authors of the plugin can guide me a bit. Pretty please?

    Yes. Assuming you have some “amplified” category in which only posts in it should be served as AMP, you can put the following logic in your custom theme or plugin:

    add_filter( 'amp_skip_post', function( $skip, $post ) {
	if ( ! ( has_category( 'amplified', $post ) || in_category( 'amplified', $post ) ) ) {
		$skip = true;
	}
	return $skip;
}, 10, 2 );

    Basically, what it is doing is, only converting articles to AMP that are in Amplified category?

    Am I understanding it correctly?

    Furthermore, adding the above code, articles in rest of the categories will be served as non-amp versions e.g. won’t be converted?

    It makes articles available in AMP if they are in the Amplified category, yes. Everything else is not made available in AMP.

    In my example I used in_category which I thought handled category descendants as well, but it doesn’t. It is an alias for has_category(). So the above should be just:

    add_filter( 'amp_skip_post', function( $skip, $post ) {
	if ( ! has_category( 'amplified', $post ) ) {
		$skip = true;
	}
	return $skip;
}, 10, 2 );

    If you want to handle child categories as well, you could include this: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/155332/check-if-a-post-is-in-any-child-category-of-a-parent-category
