My header ad at HowNotToSail.com seems to be blocked on some browsers (it just shows a blue rectangle instead of the ad), even with very basic HTML code in the Theme Panel > Header Ad box, like:
<div class="td-all-devices">
<a href="https://example.com" target="_self" rel="noopener"><img src="https://example.com/Header-Ad.jpg" /></a>
</div>
How can I fix this? It’s not a mobile vs. desktop issue (it displays fine on some mobile devices), but I suspect there’s some code buried somewhere in the theme PHP regarding Google Adsense or something, which I don’t need, and which might be causing the issue?
Thanks!
Hi,
Some browsers may use ad blockers. Unfortunately, in those cases, there is nothing we can do, it’s the user’s right to block ads if they choose.
Thank you!
Thanks, I understand that. But there’s nothing in my code that would be picked up by an ad blocker (it currently just points to another page on my site, and uses an image also hosted on my site…which is not blacklisted)…so perhaps there is something in the Newspaper (php?) code which is the problem, and which I could modify? You can probably examine it at hownottosail.com … This has been a problem for a while.
Hi,
Whenever banners or images are placed inside an ad block element or added through the theme panel, ad blockers will automatically detect and block those sections. If you want to avoid this, you’ll need to use a regular image element instead, where you can select the image from your website and add a link to it. This can be done using tagDiv Composer on pages and cloud templates (unfortunately, it won’t work with the standard header you’re currently using).
Thank you!
