Liveblog For AMP

Live blogs depend on content that keeps changing, and AMP pages limit how that can be done. Liveblog For AMP addresses this by using the native amp-live-list component. New entries are fetched and shown to readers as they are posted, with no page reload, and the pages stay within AMP standards.

The addon works with the Liveblog plugin by Automattic and detects your existing Liveblog setup, then converts it into AMP-valid live blogs. It needs no complicated configuration. It also works with other AMP tools, including AMP by Automattic. It fits news sites, sports coverage and event reporting where mobile readers follow along in real time.

Features

• Live updates on AMP pages: Uses the amp-live-list component to fetch and display new entries automatically, so readers see fresh information without reloading the page.
• Works with Liveblog by Automattic: Acts as a compatibility addon for the Liveblog plugin, letting publishers carry their live event coverage over to AMP pages.
• Detects your existing setup: Finds your current Liveblog configuration and converts it into fully AMP-valid live blogs, keeping coverage consistent across your site.
• Plug and play operation: No complex configuration or tweaking is needed. Once the addon is active, live blogging functionality is added to your AMP pages.
• Responsive layout: Live blogs are designed to display well on both mobile devices and desktops, giving all visitors a clear reading experience.
• Built for AMPforWP sites: Made specifically for AMPforWP websites, so interactive, continuously updating live feeds fit into an AMP-compatible format.
• Compatible with AMP plugins: Works with other AMP tools, including AMP by Automattic, so it can sit alongside the AMP setup you already have.
