hi. i had this problem in 8.0, hoped it might be fixed by upgrading to 8.7 but it is still appearing.
the flags to turn on and off adverts by device type are not working.
so for example when i want to turn off a video ad on not to be seen on mobile, it still appears (though obviously on google will not display so just appears broken).

also, how do i display one ad type on mobile and another on desktop? the only way i could figure would be to use the custom slots, but would that clash if i was using one custom position switched to mobile only, in the same location as a fixed position set to mobile off?

In the current version the ad disable option is working, I couldn’t say if that was an issue in version 8, I don’t remember exactly. There shouldn’t have been any problems. The ads can be disabled in the theme panel per device, that option should work as intended

The theme will automatically adjust the ads and display desktop ads and ads for mobile devices.
Those options are helpful for Adsense ads, if other ads are used a different method is available

If you use the mobile theme plugin, this has options to use different ad codes.

Thanks simion

yes it is the feature in your first screencast that is not working. i have set toggles to not display on mobile (where they are video ads – because google will not show them). but they are still appearing – they just appear as a grey box as google will not display video ads.
i am pretty confident with the advert features and settings, but this device toggle is not working.

We could take a look if you could provide a link to your website and mention which ad you are referring to. There should be no ad displayed if you use that option per device.
