AMP for WordPress

To start things of, this tutorial is probably going to be the shortest I’ll ever write. Nevertheless, I think it is useful to put it on the blog as this might be important working on the actual projects, which need features incompatible with AMP. As of this date, I haven’t found a way to disable AMP on a single page without AMP for WordPress plugin. Despite that, I think it might be irrelevant because I imagine almost everybody, who has a need to disable AMP on a single page is probably not building AMP website without it anyway.

Why to Disable AMP on a Single Page?

There might be various reasons to disable AMP on a single page. I find it very useful, when dealing with WooCommerce on AMP-friendly websites, but it could be a pop-up or something else. You might be wondering why bother with AMP at all? Speed and simplicity is the answer. While despite the popular beliefs, AMP pages doesn’t get better results on Google Search for simply being AMP, but website speed does affect this. User Experience matters a lot as well, thus having those ultra-fast AMP pages on your website anywhere you can, might be a game changer.

The Solution

Disabling AMP on a single website actually couldn’t be more simple. All you need to is to go to the page/post/product you want AMP to be disabled on and change the status from “Enabled” to “Disabled”.

Disable AMP on a single page

You can find AMP settings on the publish widget at the top right of the page.

This actually all you need to do. In can you are building your own AMP theme, like I always do, you’ll most likely going to need to do some extra clean up to make sure everything is working just as intended.
