Static Front Page via “/amp” reverts to AMPed Blog Roll

  • Seeing this topic several times in the forum from several months ago, want to get more info on how common this issue is and if anything’s been done about it:

    My theme is set to Static Front Page, pointing at specific page I do not want AMPed.
    Enable AMP For Homepage is set to OFF.
    Enable AMP for Pages is set to ON, and the specific page mentioned above is set to Hide.
    website.com/amp displays an AMPed version of the default blog roll, specifically the index.php in the AMP templates folder (which I’m invoking a custom handler for, as provided for in the examples for creating your own AMP templates outside of the designer).

    There doesn’t seem to be an AMP specific redirect handler for a Static Front Page setting in the hooks.

    Hey @bigheadzach,

    This is really strange.

    Can you please provide us the URL?
    And if you can explain me in details what exactly you want to achieve, I will be able to give a better suggestion.

    And thank you so much for your patience.

    I am seeing the exact same issue.

    I am in the process of rebuilding my WP site by hand and have a clean installation going which is scoring 94 on page speed for the desktop version.

    The AMP version is showing the blogroll issue described above. I haven’t done any special redirects or anything, just the standard WP homepage settings under reading. All the AMP settings are default at this point.

    the rebuilt site is clients.torontoheadshot.com

    FYI, I am using Elegant Themes Divi theme on the site. I was following this article (https://ampforwp.com/enable-amp-on-wp-divi-theme/) on enabling AMP specifically for Divi sites. There doesn’t seem to be anything special that needs to be done in order for Divi to work with AMPforWP.

    Hi @aglyons,

    Have you tried using our Custom AMP Editor?

    Let me know if that helps you or not.

    Hey Marqas,

    OK, I think the solution was the permalinks thing. I refreshed the permalink and the homepage started showing.

    BUT, now there’s another problem popping up. There are no pictures showing. At first, I thought is was because I’m defining the images as background images for a DIV. So I rebuilt a special page for the AMP homepage and set the page in the settings page to show it. The weird thing is if you look at the page I created to be the new home using the page’s direct URL, the pictures show. If you view just the homepage, the pictures don’t show.

    clients.torontoheadshot.com/home-amp/amp/

    vs

    clients.torontoheadshot.com/amp/

    It’s the same page but when the redirect is in place, the pictures don’t show.

    The odd thing is, it’s there in the code. The containing DIV gets collapsed for some reason.
