Hello,
I use bottom article ads in the ads section of the theme panel and its really good.
However, I would like the ad to appear a bit lower below the post, specifically right above the social icon / or if the post is using pagination, right below it.
How do you do this? I still haven’t figured out how to use the custom ad, smart list, and so on in the theme panel but have a gut feeling it has something to do with this.
Thank you very much!
Hi
Please provide a link where we can inspect this so we can get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Custom ads can be added in post content by pasting the shortcode. First you have to add an ad-box on blank page, select the ad-spot which will be used, switch in back-end editor by pressing classic mode button, copy this code: http://screencast.com/t/31MYjm2LtUmc and paste it in post content where you want to display the ad: http://screencast.com/t/Pwj90P6m98X – http://screencast.com/t/6sqhwsY77
Thanks!
Hello Andrel
To be simple, how do you place the bottom inline ad lower from where it’s at? If you turn on pagination, it is above it.
The exact location I wish it to be is below the pagination.
Hi,
This can be done with a bit of customization. Please remove this code from here: http://screencast.com/t/HQYVSpwEC and then add this code:
<?php echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_bottom'));?>
Add it in the post template files. You have to add the code for every post template you use. (each post style has it;s own file): http://screencast.com/t/A4dvVywq1R
Thank you!
Bogdan, Thank you for this.
Will I have to always add this for every update?
Hi,
Unfortunately this is customization and there is no update proof way of altering the theme files. You hafve to do it on every update or use the patches provided in the theme package. If the files modified did not get changed, then you do not need to replace them. Every theme update comes with a patch of the modified files. If the files you modified are not among the ones in the patch, you do not have to re-apply your customization as you will not replace those files if you use the patch files.
Thank you!
Thank you and I understand your case.
Maybe you can add an option for this in the ad section in the future. This problem can only resort with me, but it seems that I get some accidental clicks on the bottom ads esp. when using pagination and this is why I ask. I have some really loooooong posts and I like using pagebreaks whenever necessary.
All in all you guys are the pros and know where best to optimize for ad placement. I’ll stick with the default to make it less of a hassle.
Thank you again.
