Google AMP Issue: “Custom Javascript Not Allowed”

October 28, 2020 at 2:23 am #4305

I checked on my Publii site after having submitted a sitemap days ago. After inspecting my main URL, it said the “AMP Page is invalid” due to custom Javascript not being allowed.

I have AMP turned on in the Publii settings. I haven’t messed with anything. What’s going on? Please help as I want to make my new site discoverable and be able to use all Search Console features.

Thanks,

Jordan

You haven’t shared your website URL, so how can we check what’s going on?

The mentioned issue is caused by the fact that most likely you put the plausible.js script into the amp files. Remove it and validate the page once again, I think it should help.

Thank you for your time, Bob!

I’m not a dev, so I hope this question makes sense: If I remove my Plausible code from AMP, will it still help me track mobile traffic?

Also, where should I inject the Plausible code so it doesn’t disrupt the site?

Thanks again for your help!

The mobile yes, but not the AMP pages. I think you should ask the Plausible team about AMP page support, also have a look at this topic https://github.com/plausible/analytics/issues/220

Put the code via Custom HTML tool -> Head

Thanks a ton! Will look into it.

BTW, loving Publii so far! I’ve used Ghost and WordPress, and this is the best of both worlds (great UI with tons of flexibility).

Bob, thanks again. I checked out the Plausible GitHub issue page and contributed.

I did review Google’s flagging of “custom Javascript, and it flagged Plausible and many other elements from the Body onwards. Are there any others using Publii with this issue? In the meantime, I may turn off AMP.

Thanks!
