Good afternoon,
It’s come to my attention that the artile bottom ads are not displaying in the list type post formats. This is a problem becuase I display my FB comments and a few other things in that ad section. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance
Hello,
Unfortunately smartlists remove article inline/bottom/top ads. This is the way the smartlists were built. You can hower use the smartlist ads from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/QemDkemj7 or you can use a shortocde to insert an ad inside a list like so:
http://screencast.com/t/byQVxlbb5aR then http://screencast.com/t/bfJgj4f9HGv
And then you can insert the shortcode inside your smartlist: http://screencast.com/t/B152usIAPu
Thank you!
Bogdan,
Thanks for the quick reply. You’re support is second to none.
Would it be possible to insert the short ode into a smart list in my child theme so I don’t have to add it every time… Set it and forget it?
Sorry for repeated post. Does anyone else have any idea how to add the content bottom ad into my child theme?
Hello,
Thank you for appreciation.
You can try to add your content inside the smartlist file in the child theme: You will have to create the smartlist path and move these files over to your child theme: http://screencast.com/t/0RKJoBNqJT
Then you can edit the smartlist you use and add the shortcode with a do_shortcode function like so:
http://screencast.com/t/JnFFBrDSt2l
$buffy .= do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
This was an example for an ad on smartlist 7. I assume the comments have a shortcode as well so you can use the same function to make them display inside a smartlist.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thanks Bogdan. I have a very limited understanding of php and never have any trouble understanding what you’re talking about. As always, I appreciate the support!
