✅A tag on this page requires an AMP component ‘script’ tag

There can arise several errors with AMP pages. One of them is ‘A tag on this page requires an AMP component “script” tag, which is missing.‘

A pretty common issue seen on the Google Search Console if you are using AMPforWP plugin. In this post, I am going to explain how you can fix this problem very easily within a few minutes.

What is the Cause of the Issue?

This problem actually arises when you use the custom AMP Editor i.e. when you copy the post content to AMP editor.

In order to resolve the issue just untick the “Use this content as AMP content” tickbox and make sure there is no content in the editor box.

All following the above process, you can send Google Search Console the request to validate fix as shown in the screenshot below:

If you don’t follow the step validate fix, your page will be fixed but Google will still show the error until their bot recrawls the page. So, to get it done on priority, you must perform validate fix. You will get a confirmation email when the request is successfully sent.

I hope this fix helps you. If you get any more AMP error on your WordPress blog/website please let me know. I will try to find a solution for you.
