How to add my own custom banner ads?

Please show me how to add/upload my own ads images for Header, sidebar and etc…

My site is for a client, and the site owner sure don’t want to use Google AdSense (not all website owner wants Google AdSense). The owner wants to get other people to advertise on the site.

All I can see in the Theme Panel —> Ads —-> :YOUR HEADER AD with a big blank space on the right.

So, how are we going to upload our own ads images?
Can you make it more easier like the HEADER —-> Logo and Favicon?
(just let us select and upload our ads images?)

Thank you for your help?

I have the same question.

See the theme docs — right side of page >>>

Basically you need to put your own HTML for the banner graphics and anchor links you want, into the different divs for each viewport (e.g., desktop, tablet, phone).

Then you paste that block of custom HTML into the custom ad section in the ad module.

Sorry. I didn’t get it. I don’t see any Theme docs. And I don’t understand it.

Could you be more details by showing some step by step?

Thank you.

Hi

Please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/ The code for banner ads should look like this:

<div class="td-visible-desktop">
<a href="#"><img src="img-url"/></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-landscape">
<a href="#"><img src="img-url"/></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-portrait">
<a href="#"><img src="img-url"/></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-phone">
<a href="#"><img src="img-url"/></a>
</div> 

Thanks!

Well…. Thanks for that.
But it is still not so user friendly and I noticed that the website Editor could not manage/upload the Ads. Only webmaster/admin allowed to manage ads is not practical because some time there is only the Editor manage and updates the whole website alone.

Do you think I can install other third party Ads management plugin for custom ads managements?

Thank you in advanced.

Hi

The users roles and capabilities are managed by WordPress, you can find more details about this in official documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Regarding the ads management plugin I can’t make any recommendations because we didn’t test any of these plugins and I can’t say how they will work with our theme. However you can try a few of them and use the one which fits you best.

Thanks!

Personally, I still cannot put my custom html ad on header. The put the same html on other positions (for example on the bottom of article) and works properly. Second question: is there a way to add shortcode or to use that ad area as widget position? Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
Just to share my way:
I tried some Ads management plugins and I’m using AdRotate.
(Since I just want some basic ads on the website and I didn’t go for Pro version.)

I setup and fixed 2 Ad Groups, one for Header banner and one for Sidebar banner.
I copy the Adcodes and setup the Header Ads and Sidebar Ads in Newsmag Theme panel.

Then I set the permissions in AdRotate not to allow Editor to manage/delete/add the Ad Groups, so the Editor can only add, delete or change adverts to the 2 Ad Groups.
Well, My problem is settled.

I also found that, the AdRotate already preset to show ads on the website, if you on the Main page add a Ad Block to your fixed front page panel, it will double show the ads on the website.

flynewsgr, I think you just have to try other simple ways like direct insert the Ads images (with hyperlink) in the article… or other ways like adding a Ad Block to your website main page? Just keep trying.

Hi


@leeyokeloong
thanks for sharing your solution here!

@flynewsgr
please provide your site url or the html code that you’re using for header ad so I can inspect this closer. You can use the do_shortcode(‘ ‘) function and insert the ad shortcode from VC: http://screencast.com/t/W4SFKPnoShnhttp://screencast.com/t/lqaJxdVdMee into a text block: http://screencast.com/t/imRGS1aHN then add that text block in your sidebar.

Thanks!

We also use a custom version of AdRotate here as it’s very very simple to use.
