Banner under the category top posts grid

Hi there,
I’m able to show an advertising banner (size 970×90) on my site homepage (please see http://screencast.com/t/ZlWAdGDr1sj) and I have obtained this behaviour by modifying the file “single.php” of my Newsmag child theme; I’ve added the following code snippet:

<div class="td-container">
        <div class="td-container-border">
                <div class="td-pb-row">
                <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
                </div>
        </div>
</div>

The custom_ad_1 ad_box contains the Google DFP tag code.
What I’m trying to do now is to show the same banner under every category
top posts grid which don’t have this banner at moment (please see http://screencast.com/t/X4fBKGQs8). How could I get it?
Tnx a lot for any appreciated help

Hi

You can achieve that by adding this line of code in category.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/7MwqCqq8r7 – http://screencast.com/t/wkXZkqakqWqO

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,
it works fine now 🙂 (i.e. http://43b.60a.myftpupload.com/category/sannio/).
Thank you very much!
Great job, as usual!
All the best,

Giuseppe

Hi,
after my last Newsmag theme update, I’ve applied again the code modification you’ve suggested in order to display the 970×90 custom ad under the category post grird (please read the above reported previous thread exchanges. It worked perfectly until the last theme update: now, the same modification doesnt’ work anymore (please see the malfunctioning at http://43b.60a.myftpupload.com/category/sport/calcio/)
What I have to do to display that custom advertising ad_box in the desired space i.e. under the category’s post grid?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Giuseppe Maio

P.S: hereafter the code modification of the file Newsmag/category.php

<div class="td-container">
    <div class="td-container-border">

        <?php td_api_category_template::_helper_show_category_template() ?>
        <?php td_api_category_top_posts_style::_helper_show_category_top_posts_style() ?>
        <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box_spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?> // GSM:Display AD BOX 1 under the top post grid

The shortcode that you provided is not correct: http://screencast.com/t/3SXqaSmVXG Please make sure that you added the code like here, clear all caches and test again

<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>

Thanks!
