Ask Images problem before using this plugin

    After I got the solution to the url problem.
    Before installing this plugin I want to ask again about the problem of posting images on the page.

    In the article I made, most of the images are 1024px and 900px and some even 750px.

    Whereas in this official AMP plugin, use 1200px image to make it valid.

    Is there a solution when I use this plugin? Apart from changing the image to 1200px size.

    Because in other AMP plugins that I use there are no problems with that size and in Google Search Console it’s also valid.

    Thank you for the help. I am waiting for the next answer.

    Thanks for reaching out. If you’re referring to the featured images per post ideally you should resize them to be at least 1200 pixels wide as per suggested guidelines. To assist users you may notice a warning if using the default WordPress editor – when uploading images that don’t meet these requirements.

    If you’re looking to resize images which have already been uploaded there may be plugins that have functionality to resize images. I haven’t used any myself, most plugins would provide features to downsize images only.

    Because in other AMP plugins that I use there are no problems with that size and in Google Search Console it’s also valid.

    The structured data requirements are the same for all AMP URLs, regardless of plugin or how AMP content was generated. Is it possible that the image you’re using is a regular in post image as opposed to a featured image?

    thx for answering that question.

    I’m using the ampforwp plugin and it works fine using the featured image at the size I’m using.

    However, looking at the official AMP requirements that use the 1200px feature image, is there no specific solution or modifying it to be valid.

    Due to the large number of posts made and it doesn’t use a 1200px image there might be a lot of errors that appear on gsc.

    If you’re using the AMP for WP plugin you would find best to ask their support team. Note that the 1200px width is a recommendation for all AMP URLs, you’ll find this on the AMP for WP support forums or documentation if performing a quick search.

    Due to the large number of posts made and it doesn’t use a 1200px image there might be a lot of errors that appear on gsc.

    This is a warning as opposed to an error. Going forward as long as you upload images with the suggested minimum dimensions you won’t encounter these warnings. As you’d expect there is no functionality within the AMP plugin that can resize images, but you find be able to find a plugin that can assist.

    OK. So it is not an error but a warning that appears on the gsc.

    By the way, will it affect the serp if it doesn’t change the image to 1200px?

    If not, I’ll just ignore it and will still start a new post with that 1200px size.

    But if it matters, we have to change it manually and in bulk.

    Good question, I believe it has little or no impact as a factor in search although the product experts at the Search Central Help Community should be able to assist better than we can here.

    A similar question was asked previously in the forums.
