Header ad not showing

Hi,

i just installed this theme, everything is ok till now except i cant get Header ad to show my code of banner. Same code is working in sidebar banner.

My website is right now located on link: http://www.visoko.co.ba/newsmag/

This is what I see on your site:

It’s not clickable because no anchor exists in the code, but it is showing the banner in the correct position. Can you be more specific about the problem?

you are right, i had Adblock enabled in my browser, and for some reason it blocks ads from header, and not from sidebar. I disabled it on my site and i saw my ad 🙂

Thx for quick answer, maybe my experience can help someone else later

i deleted anchors just to test pure image showing because of problems i had, now i want to try to split width for two ads in one row, i believe it can be done with coding

@suport002 Speaking in theory, as I haven’t tried it myself, but couldn’t he simply place his html in the header ad box for two images, and style them with a bit of custom css?

@bhcrow Based on what you have on your site right now (both anchors with images inside overlapping each other), add the following code to your custom CSS in the theme panel. It puts the two images side by side and restricts their width and height to the 728×114 ad container.

.td-header-ad-wrap div div a {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 362px;
  padding-left: 2px;
  height: 114px;
}

.td-header-ad-wrap div div a img {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative !important;
  max-height: 100%;
}

This works but it is rough. You will still need tweak it a bit to fit your application and the images used.

You can find a complete, easy to follow, reference for CSS at W3 Schools CSS. That will help you understand the properties I used above so you can tweak them. The selectors are correct though, for your code.

Hope this gets your site moving in the right direction.

Good luck.

i placed my code into another spot custom ad 1
then i called it in ads.php (in child theme) instead of header spot
i used code for displaying images with table :

<table >
<tr>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</table>

now i have two images in a row, and i am trying to css them separetly, maybe there was a better way to do this, but this is how i done it for now 🙂

also, i tried to write css in my child theme (style.css), it had no effect, later tried with custom css in theme panel which was ok

Yeah, always use custom CSS in the theme panel to keep updates from overriding your changes.

Technically, a table works, but you’d have a better time sticking with what you had and the CSS I sent you.

        <a href="http://ad-domain.com/link/">
            <img src="path/to/ad/image/two.jpg">
        </a>

That’s what you had in there, basically. An anchor around and image. Clean and simple.

Whether you do it the newer way or stick with old school, add a class to the links and use that selector to style the links/image individually.

well, at first i tried to use your css with that clean and simple anchors, but it didnt work, so i used table

That works, but every time i save some settings in Theme Panel code from Custom ad 1 dissappear, why is that?

in screenshot up is a code i use inside that box, but i need to copy it over and over

Not sure why it does that. Seems like I’ve seen another thread here about a bug on custom ad slots. That’s a question for tagDiv Devs.

Why not just use the header ad box? Already goes into the header where it’s needed. Maybe it won’t disappear?

Can someone please find out why Header ad is not showing when Adblock Plus is turned on in browser, while sidebar ad is ok?

many users have this plugin installed on their browsers, and our ad is simple image with link (not google ads), can we solve this?

same problem on Newsmag demo site:

but sidebar ad is showing without any problems:

i am not sure is this info useful:

adblock is widely used because of annoying ads that we see at other places. But it should not block self hosted simple image.

I have found and solved a problem.

Adblock Plus uses filters to block ads. Filters detect some words or classes to identify ads.

In our case we had 2 classes that causes Adblock to block images from site:

1. td-header-sp-ads

in my case used in file: /parts/header/header-style-1.php

2. td-header-ad-wrap

used in file: /parts/header/ads.php

I renamed both of those classes to: td-header-sp-adss and td-header-ads-wrap , and images showed againg with adblock turned on.
Later i added some custom css in my theme panel, and thats it.
