Elongated images

Hi Bitpicker,

One of the fundamental principles of AMP (the project, not the plugins) is that the browser should be able to allocate space for all above-the-fold images before physically downloading them.

If you don’t already specify height and width within your <img … /> tag, try adding them. It fixed a similar elongation problem for me.

Thanks for the reply. The HTML is
<img class="wp-image-117 size-medium" src="https://computer-service-remscheid.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/penguin-variant-255x300.png" alt="Tux- das Linux-Maskottchen" width="255" height="300" />

So it has the size, though without “px”. Furthermore the image used here has the exact same size. It also appears that only the height dimension changes.

If I add the px in the text editor and switch back to visual the caption gets lost and the image is aligned left. That is clearly not a desired effect. And it doesn’t change the problem anyway.

I have deactivated the plugin now because Google has begun showing the AMP pages to mobile users, but they are unusable with the elongated images. And not only that, but the menu presented has nothing to do with the actual menu. I mean, it prominently shows my error 404 page! My website is mobile-friendly anyway, I think that AMP still has a long way to go before it can be an interesting alternative.

Hi Bitpicker,

About the menu presented by this plugin: within WP “Appearance” | “Menus” | Menu Settings, tick the “AMP menu” box. The contents of the AMP Navigation menu should now match the desktop version.

More generally: I agree that both AMP and this plugin are far from mature. I’ll probably wait 6 months before I take another look.

Hey ABTUK webmaster & Bitpicker

We have just released an update of this plugin. Please try it and it should fix webmaster tools errors.
