hi

I am trying to use shortcodes for a geotargeting plugin in the header ad position. Can you let me know if shortcodes are permitted.
I read this [shortcodes] – The spot will run do_shortcode() on the ad. Using shortcodes you can include adRotate ads into that spot.
But it does not seem to work for me. Here is what i have pasted.

Hello,
Unfortunately I cannot say for sure if the plugin even works properly with our theme.
The only tested and recommended plugins to use with our theme are these ones:

WP Super Cache- caching plugin
Contact form 7- used to make contact forms
bbPress- forum plugin
BuddyPress- social network plugin
Font Awesome 4 Menus- icon pack, supported in the theme menus
Jetpack- plugin with lots of features *it may slow down your site
WooCommerce- eCommerce solution
WordPress (Yoast) SEO- SEO plugin
Wp User Avatar- Change users avatars
WPML – multilingual plugin

Anything beyond this list is not tested and I cannot say for sure if it will work or not.

Try the plugin without them ad system first and make sure the ads actually show up first. Add the inside the post content for testing.

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for that, the geotargetting plugin is working alright, just not in the ad positions.

Here is a quote from your website ‘[shortcodes] – The spot will run do_shortcode() on the ad. Using shortcodes you can include adRotate ads into that spot.’

So you mention adrotate there, does that mean it (adrotate) is a tested plugin too? This would be a solution for us if so?

Thanks

Hi,

The Adrotate plugin is not officially tested, but all user feedback has been positive regarding it. You can use Adrotate shortcodes in the theme panel ad spots, and they should be displayed with no issues.
Maybe the plugin you are using is not compatible with the theme, or it is not configured properly. If you followed the plugin installation instructions and it is not working, you could try a different method of implementation or plugin.

Thanks
