Sidebars Randomly Not Showing Up

Hello. We’ve noticed random articles (not all of them) that won’t render the sidebar. Post settings are exactly the same as articles that do show the sidebars.

Here is an example: http://williamsonsource.com/10-safety-tips-to-teach-your-college-bound-teen/

Why is this?

Often issue with a bad advert loading which has invalid HTML breaking the whole div/include.

Also, good to test site for console errors and fix those first:

Our ads are Google DFP and they are in iFrames which would not really cause issues in breaking the HTML though? And besides that, we have other things in the sidebar besides the ads that should at least be showing?

Hello corey615,

For Google DFP additional customization is required as the theme in it;s default state will not render these ads. Here is a guide created by one of our users:

Thank you for your understanding!

Thanks for this, I’ll have my developer look at it, but what about the items in the sidebar that are not DFP? Shouldn’t those at least be showing?

Hello corey615,

The items in the sidebar that are not DFP and if it is Google AdSense should be displayed as properly. Notice that you need additional customization only if your ads are using Google DFP.

Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks for the response here – but this doesn’t explain why non DFP related items are not showing in the sidebars? Why is that happening?

Probably issue with your CDN and WP Super Cache setup.
