Hi there,
I’ve been having trouble getting the Amazon Affiliate programme’s Responsive Search Widget to display on my site: https://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk/gp/associates/promo/search-widget.html
An example page where the widget is embedded can be found here: http://bestforcats.co.uk/guest-posts/guest-post-surefeed-products-make-mealtimes-easier-cats/
Has anyone managed to get this working on their website? I don’t think this is a problem with the theme as such, but I’d be grateful to hear from other Newspaper users as to how they got it to display.
As it stands I’m (unsuccessfully) using the Ad Inserter plugin which is added as a widget on the sidebar, but the raw JavaScript block in Visual Composer failed to display the Amazon widget either.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Unfortunately we have not tested this type of ads, but it seems that on the site you mentioned, text blocks are used for the content ads: http://screencast.com/t/1XT4fTITvrth. Try to add the code inside a text block (text mode not visual) and see if it will show up. The search in the sidebar does not work at the moment on the site you mentioned.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the response and apologies for the late reply. I’ve tried adding the Amazon advert in both text mode from the editor (in a post), as well as using the ‘Raw JS’ component of visual composer on the home page (just under the advert block): http://bestforcats.co.uk
For some reasons it’s still not appearing, although it does seem to load in the inspector. The theme documentation mentions removing the <script> tags but this seems to break the page.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
It worked for me as expected. I just added a standard text box and pasted in this code: http://screencast.com/t/8sNJOMJfi and this is the result: http://screencast.com/t/zA8C5JJ6
Thank you!
Thanks Bogdan,
I’ve tried doing as you’ve said on this page at the top of the sidebar (text block component in Visual Composer): http://bestforcats.co.uk/about/
Unfortunately it’s still not displaying, could it be a plugin causing the issue?
Thanks in advance!
