I use these shortcodes to show ads on specific areas such as bottom of a list article. When I updated to Newspaper 7 these shortcodes stopped working. The problem is still there after updating to 7.1

Please help!

Hi,
The sortcodes stopped working on the mobile theme not the desktop version. The mobile theme does not use visual composer in order to privde better page speed so that is why the shortcodes do not get rendered. You can read more about the mobile theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Please let us know if the shortcodes do not get rendered on desktop.
Thanks.

Shortcodes are working on desktop. But Mobile version of the theme shows the code and because of that I can’t use shortcodes in desktop also.

Also, is there any other way I can place ads above the Next-Previous button in both Mobile and Desktop.

Hi,
In this case, it;s exactly as I described above. The mobile theme does not use visual composer so the shortcodes will not work on the mobile theme. You can either remove them from the desktop as well or not use the mobile theme and disable the plugin. This way you will have the old responsive version for mobile. (the new menu will still be present)
If you want to place an ad above the next prev section, you can edit the post template files and use a do_shortcode function (this will also not work in the mobile theme) like so: http://screencast.com/t/7hnVgai7s
You have to do this for every post template that you use.
Thank you!

Will it be possible for you to add a new serting in plugin menu to show ads above Next-Previous button in mobile view?

The plugin already have an option to show ads above content in smartlist and an ad spot after content will be useful for many! ☺

Hi,
I will add this suggestion to our update list and if the developers decide it, we will implement it in a future version of the theme.
Thank you!
