There was a Colormag theme update 2 days ago which I was surely causing this, but the Learn More link to coming to the WordPress AMP page threw me off.

Looking at your other post link now..

Yes!!!!! Perfect, thank you!!!

@emrevona I have 461 posts, 22 categories, and 8 tags. It takes preload 5 hours to go through each post, category, and tag.

Yesterday, I updated an old post in a category at 8 am, so the plugin deleted the cache of the post and category and it was around 1 pm when preload finally created the NEW cache of the updated post and category. At 1:15 pm I had to update another post in the same category, so the category cache was again deleted and it was 6:15 pm before preload cached again.

So at this point I had no cache on that category from 8 am till 1pm AND from 1:15pm till 6:15pm, this makes 10 hours.

Then I updated another post at 7:30pm and it was 12:30am before preload made the new cache.

That gave me 15 hours out of a 24 hour day with no cache on that category.

@emrevona I did see that yes. But if you press that, the cache for THAT post AND the cache for the category/tag is also deleted and won’t be created again for another 5 hours.

So if I update/post post 1 in category cats at 8am, then update another post 2 in the cats category at 1pm, then update/post another post 3 at 6pm and the cats category is deleted each time, then that category has no cache for 15 hours each day.

Therefore, it would make more sense if when you create/update a post, to have a link to immediately delete and also create the new cache for the post, category, tag, comment, feed, author instead of it being 5 hours before preload comes back to it.

For sites that create 10 posts a day to the same category, that category has no cache all day.

@emrevona I think that sounds good and would be a huge selling point for your plugin.

For large sites with lots of post or for sites that publish lots of posts, it could take days for a post and it’s category and tag to get cached. Also, if it takes 4 hours to re-cache a category after a post, and you make 3 posts a day to that category, then that is 12 hours a day with no cache.

If you had a link in the dashboard under each post to delete cache and re-cache that post and it’s category and tag that would be a HUGE selling point for you.

Just installed the workaround, cleared cache and confirm everything is now AMP valid.

This has to be an issue with Yoast SEO 12.2 since I have had ZERO plugin/theme updates for the past month, then today AMP 1.3.0 and Yoast 12.2

I have linked a support item on the Yoast page to this post.

OK, I have some digging to do. All posts and categories were AMP valid before the 1.3.0 update. I check all validations each time I make a post. There have been no theme updates in several months.

The only updates I have had is Yoast and AMP in the past month. Possible the Yoast update could be affecting this?

@nitushrestha10 I am using Paired Mode (full display) and honestly EVERYTHING in your theme worked fine with AMP in Paired mode and except now the mobile hamburger menu.

@westonruter how hard do you think it would be to get all WordPress developers to consider having AMP capable themes that are not having new features and styling added but are being maintained for security issues only?

Example in my case with Colormag. Up until the last update, I had literally no AMP errors, everything on the page worked in AMP. Then, with their latest update there were security fixes and feature additions. I had to update to get the security features.

But with the new update, my mobile menu is borked. Site traffic has dropped 30% and the developers don’t care.

So back to my original thought, starting some type of movement where major theme developers maintain their free and pro versions, but also have their AMP capable version where all features of the free and pro version will be added that can handle AMP, then only maintain that version for security and bugs and no new features or styling?

I guess all I really need built in is related posts under a post that shows the featured image and title by category, post author picture and bio, comments that show comment author pictures, and a magazine style front page.

I know most of this can be added with plugins, but there agin that is adding more CSS to each page.

I guess my disappointment is that seemingly most modern WordPress theme developers are not thinking about AMP and it’s obvious importance. Some are even blowing AMP off completely and bloating their themes.

How many people have bought $69 beautiful themes, then got turned on to AMP and it’s significance, only to find out a lot of the theme’s functionality will fail once AMP paired mode strips non-compliant stuff out?

I will look at the ecosystem themes, and let’s hope that more and more theme developers start building their themes with AMP in mind.

I just installed this plugin, do NOT have floating enabled, just the bar in posts and I see “Spread the love” but no icons.
