weeblrAMP system configuration

The System tab of weeblrAMP settings page contains a few settings that operate globally. They should be left untouched mostly, to their default values, but a few may be useful in specific circumstances:

Rendering

Auto AMPlify links by CSS class

weeblrAMP will usually AMPlify links found in your content automatically, but for those links output by plugins, you may need to specify which links should be made AMP. You can do that by entering a list of CSS classes. Links that match your CSS classes will be replaced by their AMP equivalent, if it exists:

Enter one CSS class per line. If you need to only AMPlify links that have more than one class, enter all classes on the same line. On the example above, links with both the et_pb_promo_button and et_pb_button will be AMPlified, while any link that has only the et_pb_promo_button OR et_pb_button will not.

Protect email addresses

weeblrAMP provide a simple email obsfucation feature, to help preventing bots and spammer to read your email address from your site page. As AMP does not allow javascript, the obfuscation is not that hard to break, but it will keep the basic harvester away.

Process weeblrAMP embed codes

If enabled, weeblrAMP custom embed codes in your content will be turned into their AMP equivalent. Embed codes look like [wbamp type="twitter" tweetid="123456789" cards="hidden"]. If disabled, those codes will still be removed from content.

Auto-embed known links

If enabled, known links from various sites will be detected and transformed into their live content. For instance, a link such as:

https://twitter.com/AMPhtml/status/840007629665583104

will be turned into the equivalent Tweet widget.

Links handled are from: Twitter, Instagram, Vine, YouTube, DailyMotion and Facebook.

Access Credentials

As mentioned on the Updating page, this is where you will enter your acccess key, to allow weeblrAMP updates for this site. Please refer to the Updating page for more details, ie: where to find that key, and how to register your site address for updates.

An access key is not needed with the Community edition of weeblrAMP, and this field is disabled on it.

Others

AMP Suffix

The suffix to use to recognize AMP pages. Defaul to amp. Not used if in Standalone mode, where all pages are AMPlified anyway. You should only change this suffix if you have a very good reason. For instance if "amp" was already used on your site URLs, and creates a conflict of some sort. This should be extremely rare.

Hide debug module

When in Development mode, weeblrAMP will normally display a fixed header at the top of page with links to:

• The Google AMP validator
• The Google Structured data test tool

Those buttons are pre-filled with the current page URL, so just pressing on either of them will take you directly to the validation results. Pretty handy when checking your pages validity, which we absolutely recommend.

The module is never displayed on localhost or 127.0.0.1, as validators need access to the pages tested.

Debug token

A random token that will be required to access your AMP pages when in Development mode. This is used to prevent general access, but let Google validators read the pages to test them. Empty the field to disable that feature. You can access the AMP version of a page by appending /amp/?amptoken=YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN to the page regular URL.

Really obscure settings

Settings worth looking at if something goes wrong, or if you make changes to your site:

Logging

If set to, weeblrAMP can record in a log file on your server some basic, or more detailed information about your AMP pages creation and display process. Set to Detailed and look at the files to look for informations. We might ask you these files during a support request.

All log files from weeblrAMP are located in the /wp-content/weeblramp_logs directory

Remote configuration

As the AMP specification evolves rapidly, weeblrAMP is equipped with the ability to read the AMP specification from a small public file hosted by us. Should the AMP spec change, in many cases we will be able to simply update that single file and make your AMP pages good again, without requiring you to update the plugin.

NB: the remote file read is only happening once every 12 hours, to avoid slowing down your site in any way.

This feature is only supported in the regular edition of weeblrAMP.

Flush rewrite rules

To allow WordPress to recognize AMP pages, with their amp suffix, weeblrAMP has to do quite a few things under the hood, especially for Custom post Types, and pagination. When you install a new plugin on your site, or in case of a major update of an existing plugin that changes its internal details, you may have to click that button and "flush the rewrite rules", so that those rules are updated with the details of the new plugins.

This should not be required at any other moment (but it won't break anything either, there is no risk in flushing those rules)
