What it does
Many readers now browse on phones, and long articles are not always the best way to reach them. Story formats break content into short, full-screen slides that readers tap through one at a time. This plugin brings that format to WordPress, so you can build stories with images, GIFs and videos without working outside your site. Because stories are built on the AMP framework, they follow an open format designed for fast, mobile-friendly content.
You create stories and slides from backend options inside WordPress, with control over both content and design. There is no cap on how many stories or slides you can add, which suits sites that publish visual content often. Stories can show published and updated dates, and they display on smartphones, tablets and desktops. The plugin is also designed to work alongside other AMP plugins, including AMP by Automattic, so it can fit into a site that already uses AMP.
Best for
- News sites and online magazines publishing visual stories
- Bloggers who want a mobile-first story format
- Sites already running AMP by Automattic

Questions about AMP Stories
What kind of media can I put in a story?
You can add images, GIFs and videos to your slides. That lets you combine photos, short animations and video clips within a single story, depending on what suits the topic you are covering.
Is there a limit on how many stories I can create?
No. The plugin supports unlimited stories and unlimited slides, so you can publish as many stories as your site needs and make each one as long as you like.
Will it work if my site already uses the AMP plugin by Automattic?
Yes. AMP Stories is designed to work alongside other AMP plugins, including AMP by Automattic, so you can add story content to a site that already serves AMP pages.
Do stories only display on phones?
Stories are built with mobile readers in mind, but they are made to display on smartphones, tablets and desktops, so visitors on larger screens can view them too.
Is AMP Stories free?
The code of AMP Stories is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
