Under the “Image Ad” tab in tagDiv Composer there is a section called “ad url”
I put the correct URL to the website I would like the ad to redirect to, but the Newspaper theme is interpreting it incorrectly.
For example, if I put an ad that links to amazon.com on my website (which I will call mysite.com) the ad, when clicked, will direct to mysite.com/amazon.com instead of just directly to amazon.com. It just adds the URL to the end of my site’s URL. How to fix this bug?
Hi
Please provide some screenshots with the settings you’ve made for the ad and a link where I can inspect this add, in this way I will be able to inspect the situation and provide an working answer.
Thank you for your understanding!
Not sure if the user who posted this original post replied, but I have the same issue. I replaced the 300×250 ad for Newspaper X that comes with the demos with what I will call a “house ad” for our company. When clicked it does not redirect to the company url but to currentsite.com/companysite.com.
Am I misunderstanding the settings that can be accessed from TD Composer?
Thank you.
Hi CEDFeducation,
The ads can be set with tagDiv Composer using the ad box element and you can use the ads from theme panel -> https://i.imgur.com/NmqJa0r.png or the image ads-> https://i.imgur.com/LXheXDT.png or you can set the code in custom ad -> https://i.imgur.com/Ef7dFgp.png

Thank you!
Thanks for the response. I actually had read the docs showing the how to deal with non adsense ads.
Sometimes in WP there is more that way to do something which confuses the novice.
Here’s what I am seeing: https://imgur.com/a/mTxWF0d
I uploaded my ad into Media and it displays fine when I select it in the TD Composer control box. I enter the destination URL in the box circled and this causes a 404 because it goes to mysite.com/destinationsite.com instead of destinationsite.com. I I don’t see use of this box documented anywhere in the tutorials. In the Theme Panel control documentation there is discussion of pasting custom divs but the examples don’t contain a destination for the user’s click. They only contain a url of the media to display. But if I use TD Composer I have already accomplished this. Why would I even need to be in the Theme Panel?? Please help unconfuse me. Thank you.
Hi,
The problem is that you need to set the full url like this:
https://www.cedf.com/inquiry if is set like this http://www.cedf.com/inquiry you’ll get an incomplete url and you’ll get a 404.
Theme panel ads is for standard templates and in these you can set the link like this -> https://i.imgur.com/RqgPX61.png is your decision if you want to use the theme panel ads or not.
Thank you!
Thank you. This resolved the issue.
