Issues with AMP for WP after Super Cache install

    Hello,

    After we installed Super Cache, we found an issue with our AMP pages. AMP for WP offers to redirect desktop users if you land on an AMP page. This breaks when pages are cached and Google starts complaining that the AMP pages are not AMP pages.

    Since AMP for WP already is doing some pre-rendering, a simple solution would be to not cache AMP pages. Is that possible in Super Cache?

    Thanks!

    UPDATE: I added these REGEX strings to the “Rejected URL strings”:

    \/amp\/$
    \/AMP\/$
    \/amp$
    \/AMP$

    Still looking to see if that would work…

    Hi

    Do you mean the “Disable AMP on Desktop”.

    How did you get on with the REGEX? I’ll mark this as resolved for now but please do post back if you’re still having issues and I can look into replicating it further.

    Just to circle back on this, the reason the redirect isn’t working is because once your pages are cached redirects from other plugins will not work.

    REGEX would mean the amp pages aren’t cached, you could try adding the redirects at the .htaccess level

    Update: Please ignore this post.

    I found out that is was Cloudflare who is the culprit here, not Super Cache, that is incompatible with the AMP plugin. When you have Cloudflare do a whole-page cache, the redirect is baked into the page if opened previously in desktop mode. We’re close to just dumping AMP, nothing but trouble.

    Thanks for quick answers.

    Hi @dbevort

    Glad it’s not WP Super Cache!

    If you have time, and haven’t already, we’d love it if you left us a review
