A few questions / adsense / review

Hi,

I’m wondering about the following. I hope you can answer me and help me out:

A) I use adsense on my site, and manage it from the theme panel in newspaper. However I need NOT to see the ads on some pages and posts (especially on review posts I make), how is that possible?

B) I’m making product review posts now. Am I right to do that with “posts” and not “pages”. I’ve not seen the review option in “pages”, only in “post”. Is that correct?

C) I’m making product review posts now and I find the grid with the stars to be looking good but it’s too low in the page. I’d like to be able to move it. For example having the grid at the beginning of the content? Maybe having it at the beginning of the posts and again at the end. I haven’t seen where I can control that.

D) The review block enables us to stand out in the SERP (rich snippets?) ? Just wondering.

Many thanks for your answer

Sylvain

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I think there’s some confusion here. Let me be more clear with my questions:

A) I’m not saying something is blocking the ads, I mean: I would like to remove adsense on some specific posts or pages. Now i’ve got 500 pages and the ads appear on all the 500 pages, which is not good for me. I need to remove adsense ads on certain posts and leave it on some others. Please tell me how to do that.Thanks.

B) Ok

C) I’m not talking about the typical grid ;), I’m taking about the “review box as this: http://screencast.com/t/Zde0B9hD Please let me know.

D) Great.

Looking forward to your answer.

Kind regards,

Hi

A. To hide the ads in specific post/pages you need to ad a condition in td_block_ad_box.php
http://screencast.com/t/5uninsYLV1

if (is_single(134) || is_page(44)) {
return;
}
Use is_single() for post is_page() for pages. To get the post/page id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/zXmGYcsp

C. If you want to move the review or duplicate it on the post it’s need to modify the file corresponding with the post template used like here: http://screencast.com/t/uxt9QzSQ0QD – http://screencast.com/t/BhDgzo2J0Pe8

Thanks!

Hi Andrei,

Thanks much for your answer, you’re very nice to answer so quickly.

A) I tried and it works, thanks!. Now if I have several posts to hide.. how does it work? Like this?
‘if (is_single(134,7888,0967,12,34)’ .. just with a comma?

B) I tried to change only on loop-single-1.php but it didn’t work. Do I need to change from
loop-single.php to loop-single-13.php, all of them (that is 14 elements to change)? Or just loop-single-1.php?

Thanks?

Oh yes, (to follow up with my message a few minutes before) I forgot, also, with the modifications I’m making, will there be any problem when there’s a new update of the newspaper theme? i’m afraid to lose the modifications I’m making now. Thanks.

Hi

To hide the ads from multiple post you need to add is_single(ID) for each post like here:
if (is_single(134) || is_single(135) || is_single(136))

You need to modify every file corresponding with the post template used, for example for post template 4 the file that needs to be modified it’s loop-single-4.php

When you update the theme the old file are overwritten by the new theme’s files, except the one from child theme, so if you want to keep your changes a solution would be to move the modified file in child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-support/

Thanks!
