Search Results for 'smart sidebar'

I posted in other thread and it takes up to a week to review site as new account even if you already have ads added. If already approved then it takes two to three days for your newly placed ads via theme to start showing again where you added them. You also have to follow Googles documentation or you will get banned. They are really picky on ads on a site and no smart sidebar used with ads on the sidebar, its considered floating widget and is against their TOS.

Hello … yes, they don’t like a “focus” sticky ad, which is ironic since they are now pushing sticky footer ads on mobile (duh).

The way we have avoided this in past is to have the ad be in middle of the content on sidebar … meaning, we have related stories module, recent comments, etc. so that the ad is “part” of the sticky element on a long scroll, and the focus is not the ad.

We have been doing this for 2 years now without issue.

Simple fix for you, turn off the smart sidebar; make sure you don’t have any “auto reload” elements on page for a slider or something which loads ads more than once on same page in same area.

hey Station,

You’re on the right lines but I’m not sure why it’s trying to add 2 images?

To recap my method:

You are working on a normal post and not working in VC just the plain old editor

Add your title for the first page in H3 format so if your post was called 3 ways to skin a cat it would look something like this

With a knife (in H3)

Your post settings need to be as follows

POST STYLE 7 under the GENERAL tab
SMART LIST 3 under the SMART LIST tab

Set the side bar position as the 3rd position from the left, the one with no sidebar showing if you want it full width

Not sure if it makes a difference but I have clicked the images and set them to be “Align Centre” in the grey box above the image after I have uploaded them via the “add media” button

Your screen shot from the editor looks to be correct so I’m not sure why that isn’t working for you, I’ve tried another test on my site and everything seems to be working as it should. I am running the latest version of the theme and the older of the 2 posts in the links below was published in March so it’s been an option of the theme for a while.

I can’t replicate the double image problem you are having, maybe it’s some sort of plugin conflict?

This post setup does tend to have an effect on some other post functionality, I still can’t add google ads in the post either through the panel or via adding an ad box widget via VC

I’d be interested to know how you get on, if you want to have a look at my posts you can see them in the following links

the first ones a test and unfinished but still I’ll leave it on there so you can see it with and without the sidebar

Still having the issue. The errors in the console are all coming from (or trace back to) the DoubleClick ad network (Essentially AdSense). They shouldn’t be affecting mobile vs desktop tap space.

The issue is one I’ve seen before. I don’t know if it’s related to the theme but I’d imagine so since switching themes automatically fixes the problem. When using a 3rd party provider of AdSense ads there is this transparent block (320×320) that appears below ads. You can’t see it, but it covers up menus usually. This time, the header ad was covering up the first position in the block on mobiles. Added height: auto !important to the img tag in the custom css for mobiles and problem solved.

I had to do the same for the sidebar ads as well a while back. I had a grid up top for a long time which, like the menu and logo – uses a higher z-index value so the transparent block fell beneath it and wasn’t an issue.

Container limits on images in ad spaces (I only use theme provided spaces for ads) would be a smart addition to Newspaper and NewsMag (where I first noticed the problem last year). But this is resolved for me now. Thanks for looking into it, Alin.

Sorry for jumping in, but again it’s related 🙂

You can make a similar smart list by selecting post template 7 and then selecting smart list 3 in the “smart list” tab in your post settings.

You start the post with a H3 heading then add your image below (I use 300×350) if I have a sidebar on the page then add your text below that, your next section of the post follows below that in the same format so your H3 heading for the next step in the article acts as your page break. If you follow? So it goes like this…

H3 heading (page break)
300×350 image
Your article text
H3 heading (page break for 2nd page)
300×350 image
Your article text
H3 heading (page break for 3rd page)
300×350 image
Your article text
H3 heading (page break for 4th page )
300×350 image
Your article text

You get the same effect but it does look a little cramped with a small image and not a lot of space for text if you have the sidebar active.

I can’t get my Google ads to show at the bottom of the post for some reason even though they are set to show in post and at the top and bottom of a post. Maybe you can add a large image to fill the top part of the container and then push the text and a square Google ad as shown in the link so it sits beside the text? I haven’t tried that yet.

This method used to be shown on the demo but doesn’t seem to be on there now, not sure why that is? Maybe it’s obsolete or had problems???????

I’ve just tried to disable the sidebar and this makes the post full width. You can do this by disabling the sidebar in the post settings by altering the sidebar position

I’m guessing if you use a larger image and change the style of the pagination then the only other thing you need is a way of adding a Google ad to this specific post type or adding one in the editor? Not sure how you do that as I’m new to ads but I’ll give it a try

Anyway, it’s a start 🙂

Hi Thank uoi very much that did help. But the “more article box” still pops up on mobile version and I dont want that. My sidebar isnt smart on desktop mode too

Using VC you need to add td-ss-row for extra class name for wigdetized sidebar. SS for smart sidebar.

Hi

The smart sidebar was designed to work only with 2/3 1/3 layout. If you need to change its functionality I advise you to look for a freelancer on sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to help you do it.

Thanks for the message!

Hi

Check this topic regarding the ads in smart list post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/inline-content-ads-are-not-showing-in-smart-list-format/
Unfortunately you can’t use this ad size if you’re using sidebar, in our demo that image it’s just an example and it’s resided to 640px width (post contend width using sidebar)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi Lucian/Support

Things have gone quite well replicating ad positions. A few questions as I finish off the move to Newspaper 6;

1. TagDiv ad block – for sidebar does this only have one ad and one widget? The one where you enter code in Theme Panel? I have used multiple Adrotate widgets instead.Can I use multiple instances of your TagDiv ad widget? Different ad code in each?

2. I have property pages – they are custom pages from Estatik plugin. in the shortcode from the plugin
[es_single_property] in generates the single property house or apartment – I need to remove all ads from that page and all like it – remove header ad/sidebar (sidebar which I’ve used a plugin for and removed the sidebar so that’s done) and all other banners – just need a clean page or no other real estate agents will pay to list properties with us. My previous theme had a tick box to remove all ads in WP editor for posts/pages. Is there some custom CSS or other code that I can put in to help with this?

also need all ads removing on ‘All Listings’ – ‘For Rent’ – ‘For Sale’ (accessible from dropdown menu) How can I do this?

3. Style 8 (posts) shows badly on smartphones – the parallax seems to corrupt

My staging URL is – http://147.e4d.myftpupload.com

Thanks so much

Pat
