Sidebar Ad Issues

Posted in: Newspaper

Our website is http://abritandasoutherner.com and we are working with an ad network that sent us the below message.

With your current setup, as your page shrinks in width, your sidebar also shrinks in width. Since our ads in your sidebar will have a fixed width of 300 pixels, this means that some users not viewing your page in full screen or on smaller devices could see part of the sidebar ads cutoff, which could put you at risk for an ad policy violation, and we definitely want to avoid that.

What we need is your sidebar settings changed so that the sidebar stays a fixed width of at least 300 pixels as your page resizes, breaking to the bottom of the page at 1023 pixels of page width. This ensures that all users on all devices see the ads properly.

If I slowly resize the browser, I notice with the current Google Adsense sidebar ad that we have that it does start cutting off.

1. Is it possible to have the Ad (or all of the sidebar) move from the sidebar to the bottom (responsive) when the size moves below 1023px? It currently makes this move at 768px.
2. Any idea as to what is causing the issue or why the ad network would be asking about this?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

Indeed dues to the responsive nature of our theme, the sidebar will go under 300 pixels on tablets as the layout will not allow a 300 pixels sidebar on a tablet that is under 1020 px width but unfortunately this change is not possible as the theme layout is not changeable in our theme. We do not have any feature to change the width of the theme and doing so using custom modifications will break all of the theme elements which were created based on the width of the content and sidebar. SO the solution required by your ad network is not viable.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
