Hi,
Followed the instructions but my banner is still not showing and the layout changed on my home page.
1. I also uploaded a 728×90 size leaderboard ad and somehow the image does not appear in media library but the file is in there.
2. The “block 2” that is contained in my 2 column row of the home page is now showing up as 1 column.
Here’s my site. http://staging1.tvc.dsj.org/
Below is a link of a screen shot of the header ad settings I followed per instruction: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/

Here’s the link to my image.

Hi Andrei,
I want the ads to only show on all the blog pages including:
Blog pages
All posts
Archives page

Blog page url is: http://www.creativepile.com/blog/
please let me know if there is other information you would need.
Thank you!
Hello stuartmasson,
Please notice that the Post template Style 1 -> http://screencast.com/t/5mqHxQCy refers only to this type of template regarding on Ad. If you are using another post template, you will have to use the Article top for your ads. This is just the layout for post template style 1 for the top ad. If you want to achieve the similar top ad style like as post template style 1 but you are using another post template, please notice that you will have to customize yourself because this involves custom work ad we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Is there a way to show the header banner AD only on the blog, and all its corresponding pages like posts, category pages, tag pages, archives etc.? Our website is (www.creativepile.com) and the blog page is (www.creativepile.com/blog). I would like to have the header banner up but I just don’t want our prospective clients to be bothered by ads while viewing the rest of the website.
Thanks in advance!
I have been using smart list2 for all my articles, and for ads I’m using header ads – http://curiosityhuman.com/ , as u can see ads are appearing, also here – http://curiosityhuman.com/top-10-hottest-women-world-2016/ , but here in another post ads are not appearing – http://curiosityhuman.com/top-10-adult-bollywood-movies/ .. but by viewing from WordPress preview changes – I can see ads – http://prnt.sc/c0929y , Once I deleted the caches , ads start appearing after loading page , that disappeared, let me know if u required more details , and plz help me to fix this.
Hi Catalin, thanks for your reply.
Yes, I would like the ‘Post template style 1’ ad to replace the ‘article top ad’ on all post styles, not just Style 1 (I use other styles but not Style 1).
I put the code into the Post template style 1 box and disabled the article top ads, but it has not replaced it, so no I have no ads.
Hi
The theme supports banner ads and we covered in our documentation the steps for implementation, please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/
Let me know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hello totalfood,
Your banner ad code is generated from Adsense? Please notice that the settings for size are available only for Adsense code. For more information about these Ads implementation, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ads-adsense/ Also, if you are using another ad code (not Adsense), please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Please notice that the WP Pro Ad System is not tested with our theme and we cannot provide support for this. Also, this plugin might interact with the theme code and cause a lot of unknown issues. For ruling out these conflicts, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled ith our theme.
Thanks for your understanding!

Above is a visual of the issue. There is no rhyme or reason for it. It’s happening on post pages and other pages, including category pages, but is NOT happening on pages that are used via the “page builder with title.”
I have tried every troubleshooting problem prior to asking. And I’m also noticing this issue on other websites who have recently updated to 3.1
Thanks,
Hi Catalin,
I’m using and have always used WP Super cache.
Disabling plugins does not help.
I can see that the script loads in the source code but the counter simply does not add one up.
Any other suggestions?
Hi
You can try to add the div classes in theme’s ad-spots like it is indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/ Note that you may need some css adjustments in order to have the ads displayed fine on pages.
You can use any text editor which works on Mac OS to edit theme’s files, you don’t need a very special software. Before making any changes in theme’s code make sure you do a full backup as a security measure: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Thanks!
Hey guys,
So I formed a recent partnership with Outbrain (a native advertisement company), and they provided me with a couple of codes that I could add to my site. These codes would add native advertisements to either my sidebar or after my post content.
However, I don’t know how to add it, and where to place the code. The initial code is javascript, which I was told to add in my header, and I did through a WordPress plugin. The other two however are div class codes. These are the codes that I was told to add for sidebar and below content ads.
And lastly, a question for a different issue – I asked a little while ago for how I can add a header ad above or below my site’s full header logo. My question was answered, but I didn’t want to go through the hassle and potentially ruin my site’s theme. Now I’m willing to do it. In the response I was told to edit the code separately, but what software do I use on Mac OS?
Any help is much appreciated.
HI
Try this css to remove the white space above main menu: http://screencast.com/t/7yTSVWLwx307
.td-header-style-4 .td-header-sp-ads{
display: none;
}
Note that if you add a header add this css must be removed, otherwise the ad won’t be displayed.
Thanks!
@servedaily
The ads received an ad title in this update so you can place any title to your ads as adsense requires you to. For custom ads, you can choose not to have an ad title. You can use whatever ads you wish on your site adsense, non-adsense, combined (just not in the same theme ad spot)
We did not change anything other than added the possibility of placing a title for the ads. I don’t think that will require a guide as it is pretty straight forward.
If you have any further question, please open a new topic.
Thank you!
Will the ads and the new ad box widgets have a help section?
do they work without google ads. I just want to run my own ads and control whats on the site.
Is their a tutorial for this?
If i did use ad sense – can I also ad my own ads or is it one or the other?
Hello ntvweb,
I have checked your website nd I saw that you are using your banner ad and this is not right implemented to be visible on all devices. In your case, you are not using the Adsense and therefore you will have to use the DIV’s method to do your banner ad to be responsive. For more information about this setting, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I can’t figure why, when someone loads my site for the 1st time, images won’t load.

Jetpack by WordPress.com (running only protect and photon) – I’ve tried disabling and enabling photon countless times to see if it’s because of it, it is not.
My head hurts. What I expected to be an easy extract and install press of a button turned out to be hours of testing to see what the hell is wrong.
Already did some search on your forums before making this post. If you’ll recommend me to turn off image loading animation effect(lazy loading) won’t cut it for me as it was the major point that sold me your theme. Running your theme only with your recommended wp plugins also won’t cut it.
For the moment I’ve stopped using your theme. Will try it on a clean wp install in the next few day (even if does work won’t solve my current problem).
Till then, I need your help.

Hey guys! Love the theme…Wanted to also share my issue with SSL and Newspaper 7 theme. We have everything done properly according to http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/. We tested the site using https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php and everything is perfect accept for demo.tagdiv.com returned an error (Possibly 404 not found or other webserver error. Details: (see screenshot). We are using the sports theme demo for Newspaper 7.1. We have searched every where for a fix. Could you maybe point us in a different direction in order to fix the SSL? Thanks guys. I appreciate your time.
Hello all,
If you want to use the Header Ads, please notice that the Ad will permanently appear on your Header. Please notice that our theme has been designed to use the Adsense code and if you want to use other ads, you will have to consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/ and you will have to use our DIV’s method which is presented in documentation.
For header style 1, the dimensions for header ad is 728*90 px.
Thanks for your understanding!
Not an issue with the theme but more a question for the developers/community: what’s your preferred caching setup for Newspaper? What do tagDiv run or recommend as an ideal setup? And has anyone experienced random downtime using WP Super Cache?
I’d used WP Super Cache in the past but had issues with my site going offline, which I tracked down to the plugin (although I couldn’t tell why). W3 Total Cache is my favourite caching plugin but isn’t approved for use with Newspaper, and as such has caused me issues with the newspaper dashboard (wiping settings).
So I’m back to WP Super Cache, and the random downtime has returned. Jetpack reports the site went down 6 times in one day, for between 5–13 minutes. Has anyone else experiences this? Google Search console doesn’t seem to show any connectivity errors, but the downtime is so quick I’m not sure it would. I have on occasion been able to confirm the site is actual down, so it doesn’t seem to be a false positive from Jetpack.
Other plugins we run are:
— Akismet
— Autoptimize
— CloudFlare
— Code Embed
— Contact Form 7
— Cookie Law Info
— Custom Facebook Feed
— Duplicate Post
— Google AdSense
— Jetpack
— Limit Login Attempts
— Mailchimp
— Regenerate Thumbnails
— Remove query strings from static resources
— Revolution Slider
— Simple Local Avatars
— tagDiv Mobile Theme
— tagDiv Social Counter
— tagDiv Speed Booster
— Use Google libraries
— Wordfence Security
— WP Smush
— WP Super Cache
— WP-Optimize
— WPBakery Visual Composer
— Yoast SEO
Could any of these be conflicting? There are a few of these that offer caching features.
Interested to hear other Newspaper users’ thoughts.
Hello,
Am maintaining a newsportal for my client. We have already purchased the newspaper theme and used it with our “.com” domain and the site is live ( English and local language content ). We were looking for google AdSense account but google rejected us due to language compatibility issue.
We are planning to set up another site on the same server using the “.net” version of the same domain and move the english news there and reapply for google adsense account. Considering this business scenario, do we need to buy another license of the theme ? Since we dont have good ads, the site is not making enough revenue to cover up the operational cost.
I have another license for newspaper theme but it has been used on a separate business.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Hi,
This issue is usually caused by ad banners not added properly and have fixed widths. If you use custom ads, please use this method to implement them: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately our theme does not support DFP out of the box. We created the theme to work with standard adsense codes. You can follow this topic to see how other users managed to implement it but it’s only done through customization https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-responsive-ads-with-google-dfp/
Thank you!
Hello themesic,
The DoubleClick ads aren’t recognized by theme’s ad system and the code is rendered as it is. The theme only works using google Adsense ad codes: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads/ … for another type of ads you can either use wp text widget or a plugin like Simple Ads Manager or AdRotate to render the code then use theme’s ad spots. For more references about this regard, you can consult this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-responsive-ads-with-google-dfp/
Also, if you want to paste your tag in the mobile version in the header section, you will have to check the header.php core file from the mobile section, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/kfBP1X4Ds
Thank you for your understanding!
Is this a customization that you have implemented already for another client? We are much interested in accepting DPF in background ads too.
