Article Ad doesn't show

hello,
i purchased the “Newsmag” theme about 3 months ago.

i’m trying to add an article ad after the first paragraph but the ad simply doesn’t show (after i added the code from adsense)

for the record, i also added header and sidebar ads and they both appear on the site without any issues.

please help me solve this issues, thank you.

Be sure you have the checkbox set for show on desktop, or show on mobile for it to be visible. Sometimes AdSense serves up a blank ad due to timeout from the server they grab the content from. Sometimes a new ad spot takes a bit for them to start serving. Sometimes an extra space or missing part of the adcode in the box will cause it not to work, so good to double double check those things.

Sorry if that didn’t help.

“Sorry if that didn’t help.”

any help is appreciated, so thank you.

all ads are set to work on mobile, desktop etc. and the code is simply copied from adsense just like i did with the other ads which work. i tried different types of ads but none of them work with the article option… the ad simply doesn’t show (even after a few days)

here are all the current settings: http://postimg.org/image/infzt08xz/

is there a way for me to speak with a costumer support representative or is posting my problem on the forum the only option?

They provide support via the forum. (I don’t work here …)

Did you check the console in your web browser (e.g., F12 in Chrome) to see if the page is generating an error, and look at page source to see if the ad element even being “printed” onto the post or not ?

Maybe try having it after second paragraph?

It’s working for thousands of sites using TagDiv themes, so often it’s something reallllly simple.

A link to an actual post if often helpful for assistance.

(Just a thought….)

hey,
sorry for the VERY later response, i went aboard that week and forgot about the thread (only got to the website today)

the problem seems happen when i use smart lists:

no smart list: (the ad shows on the page)

with a smart list: (no ad on the page)

let me know if the issues happens on your side as well and how i can fix it, thank you.

Hi

By default the theme doesn’t display ads when you use smart list, but you can use the shortcode to insert ads inside smart list content. To get the shortcode add an ad box into a page, switch in backend editor, copy this code: http://screencast.com/t/5Daycu08 and insert it in smart list content.

The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/XpoSqjZSMHl

Thanks!

See post below.

Hi Andrei, I want all three ad spots (article top, inline and bottom) to automatically be inserted into the smart list post, just like normal posts. I use the latest version of the Newspaper theme. I know this is possible by adding code to the smart list templates. I use template 5 for smart lists and template 2 for normal posts. Could you please point me in the right direction as where to add which code?

Hi

You can use do_shortcode function to display article inline, bottom and top ad, in smart lists template file: http://screencast.com/t/8w1MOQwu – http://screencast.com/t/BYfH4ztN – http://screencast.com/t/rzbedxvYY5H

$buffy .= do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
Add this line whee you want to display the ad.

Thanks!

Thanks Andrei. But this only allows me to add the inline add. Where can i place the codes in order to make the content top and content bottom ad show up like in normal pages?

Hi

The example was for custom ad, but you can use the article top or bottom shortcode to display those ads too. To get the ad’s shortcode add an ad box into a page, switch in backend editor, copy this code: http://screencast.com/t/5Daycu08 and inset it inside the function.
Using this solution you can ad only top and bottom ads in smart list like here: http://screencast.com/t/rzbedxvYY5H to add an ad inside the content you will need custom modification and I cannot provide a quick solution, sorry.

Thanks!
