About AMPforWP – Newspaper Theme for AMP 2.0.38
This listing is called a newspaper theme for AMP and is filed as a WordPress theme under news, magazine, blog and multi-purpose categories. Its small size, about 505 kilobytes, is unusual for a full theme. That points to a design add-on for the AMPforWP plugin, which builds AMP versions of your pages, rather than a standalone site theme.
If that is right, you still need your normal WordPress theme for the regular site, and the AMPforWP plugin to produce the AMP pages. The listing doesn't confirm this, so open the package and read its documentation before installing. Look for whether it has a style.css like a theme or a plugin header.
The version on file is 2.0.38 (the slug mentions 2.0.19), released December 2021. Test it on a staging site with your current WordPress and plugins first.
Requirements
- WordPress
- AMPforWP plugin (the title indicates it is made for AMP; confirm in the package documentation)
Key features
- Newspaper-style AMP layout
- A news and magazine look intended for AMP pages.
- Built around AMP
- The title says it is for AMP, the fast mobile page format.
- News, blog and magazine categories
- Filed for publishers rather than shops or service companies.
- Very small package
- About 505 kilobytes, which suggests an add-on to another plugin rather than a full theme.
- Aimed at publishers
- Useful for sites that already publish articles regularly.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- News and magazine sites already using AMPforWP for AMP pages
- Publishers who want their AMP pages to look like a newspaper
- Developers who know the AMPforWP plugin and want a different AMP design
Look elsewhere if
- Sites without the AMPforWP plugin, if this is an add-on for it
- Anyone looking for a complete standalone WordPress theme for the whole site

Setup: using AMPforWP – Newspaper Theme for AMP 2.0.38
- Inspect the package. Unzip it and check whether it contains a style.css (a theme) or a plugin header file.
- Install the AMPforWP plugin. Get AMP pages working with its default design first.
- Install this package where the documentation says. Use the Plugins or Themes upload depending on what the package turns out to be.
- Select the newspaper design. Choose it in the AMP plugin's design or theme settings, then check an AMP post.
- Validate your AMP pages. Test a few URLs with an AMP validator and fix any reported errors.
Common problems and fixes
AMP pages show validation errors
- Why it happens
- Scripts or styles from other plugins are injected into the AMP page, which AMP does not allow.
- How to fix it
- Test with other plugins disabled, then find the one adding the code and exclude it from AMP pages.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
Frequently asked questions

Which version is the file?
The version on file is 2.0.38, although the slug mentions 2.0.19.
Will it work with current WordPress?
