AMP Stories

Long articles are not always the best way to present a narrative on a phone. AMP Stories gives publishers and content creators a full-screen, tap-through format that sits inside their own WordPress site. Each story is made of slides, and you control the content and design of every one from the backend. You can add as many stories and slides as you need.

Because it is built on the AMP framework, the stories are designed to load quickly and display on smartphones, tablets and desktops. The plugin is made to work alongside other AMP plugins, such as AMP by Automattic, so it can fit into a site that already uses AMP. Stories can also carry published and updated dates.

Features

• Full-screen tappable stories: Create immersive stories that readers move through by tapping, presented full screen in a format made for mobile viewing and built on the AMP framework.
• Images, GIFs and videos: Add images, GIFs and videos to your slides so each story can carry a mix of media and keep the reader moving from one slide to the next.
• Unlimited stories and slides: There is no cap on how many stories or slides you can add, and backend options give you control over both the content and the design.
• Works on any device: Stories are made to display on smartphones, tablets and desktops, so the same piece of content reaches readers whichever screen they use.
• Built on the AMP framework: The plugin uses AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages), an open format intended to load stories quickly and present them in a consistent, user-first way.
• Integrates with WordPress: AMP Stories is an extension for WordPress, so you create and publish stories from the same dashboard you already use for the rest of your site.
• Compatible with AMP plugins: It is designed to work alongside popular AMP plugins such as AMP by Automattic, which helps it fit into a site that already runs AMP.
• Published and updated dates: Stories can show a published date and an updated date, so readers can see when a story first went live and when it was last changed.
