Plugin does not appear to work

I’ve installed the plugin and set the mode to ‘Reader’.

I’ve turned on the plugin for my ‘Posts’.

I’m using a custom theme.

All my posts now have a URL that ends in ‘/amp/’. This page is served but is identical to each page without ‘/amp/’.

When I edit a post my ‘Visualise changes’ button in the top right has an attached AMP button. When I click it, I get to see a very slimmed down version of the post on a black background.

When I use the WordPress customiser, select AMP visualisation in the left menu, and navigate to a post, I get to see the regular version of my post. If I then move out of that left-hand menu and move back to AMP visualisation, I see the AMP version of the same page. If I then continue navigating, posts are shown in their stripped down version.

When I visit a post on my phone, I see the regular version of the post.
This makes me think that the plugin does not work.

I couldn’t find this explicitly mentioned, but I’m assuming that the /amp/ version of the post should always show the stripped down version of the page.
How do I make this happen?

Also, how do I override the built-in templates?

OK, I can see that the ?amp query var does work: https://apublica.org/2019/07/milicias-avancam-sobre-reserva-ambiental-no-rio-de-janeiro/?amp

The issue with the /amp/ endpoint not working was also reported here: https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/860#issuecomment-508941464

As a workaround you can force the ?amp query var to be used instead of the /amp/ endpoint:
```
add_filter( 'amp_pre_get_permalink', function( $pre, $post_id ) {
	return add_query_arg( amp_get_slug(), '', get_permalink( $post_id ) );
}, 10, 2 );
```

Thanks. That workaround works.

As for my second question, I found that adding a /amp/ to my themes folder provides for a location to put template overrides.

What is the question?

My second question was “how do I override the built-in templates?”.

As I said, I found the answer to that: “adding a /amp/ to my themes folder provides for a location to put template overrides”.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, that’s right. You can find more information about extending the Reader mode templates at https://amp-wp.org/documentation/how-the-plugin-works/classic-templates/
