This is a little odd… When I set the theme up originally I created a variety of sidebars to be used on different news categories. I did it via the newspaper theme pages following the instructions in docs.
I added a couple of adverts yesterday and have issues:
The advert created using the default sidebar ad (theme panel >ads) shows.
The advert created using the default header ad (theme panel > ads) shows.
The adverts added to custom ad 1 (same place) don’t show. It’s like they don’t exist.
Looking at widgets, if I drag a tag div ad box into a widget and select default sidebar ad, it works.
If I select anything else, it doesn’t.
If I copy and paste the advert code from the default sidebar ad and put that in the custom ad 1, it doesn’t work either.
I did wonder if this was a cache thing, so I disabled the cache and did it all again without cache. Exactly the same results. Basically, I can show whatever I put in the header advert and the default sidebar advert, but nothing else.
I have tried in all 3 browsers I use, clearing caches before testing. No change. In any event, the cache isn’t an issue because as soon as I add the default sidebar to a post category, it works. The exact same code in the custom ad box doesn’t work. No matter what.
The other sidebar content (links to posts etc) works fine, regardless of sidebar chosen. It only affects ads.
Everything is updated – theme and plugins updated yesterday.
I can’t swear that this was different before yesterday (I went from previous to current versions), but I’m 75% sure it wasn’t. Maybe 90% sure.
What can be causing this?
Hi,
So any of the custom ad spots in which you enter ad codes refuses to display the ads, while the same ad code displays when entered in non-custom ad spots. That is unusual indeed.
If you could provide a link to a page containing custom ads which are not displaying, we will take a look. Maybe we could spot something.
