Post count: 70

Hello,
I tried to embed a video ad via Adrotate in one of the ad places: no success.
Alternatively I tried to embed a video with a link to an external website with the video Embed shortcode: no success.
What can i do to have embed a video with an external link, either as ad or as video?
Thank you for Feedback1

Hello,

You can set a video ad on the flex blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/bLf954N.png and posts loop.

Hello,

For video embedding, that theme doesn’t have an option to add ads to the video. You can add a video ad only if you have a post-format video and set the code on the flex blocks.

Thank you!

Hello,

the video shown in my picture is already the ad! I just want to have an external link in a new window on click.
Thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don’t understand what you want to achieve.

Thank you!

Hi,
I tried to embed a video ad via Adrotate in one of the custom ad places: no success.
So I put the video itself in a Video Embed shortcode. That works fine. But I cannot click on it, so that a link to an external website is opened in a new window.
Thank you!

Hi,

Did you have tried to set the code in the ad box element in the custom code section -> https://i.imgur.com/dt8a8TH.png and do a custom code with target=”_blank”

Thank you!

This is what I tried first:
I put this code in Adrotate:

<video width="650" height="540" fullscreen="false" webkit-playsinline autoplay muted>
<source src="%asset%" type="video/mp4">
</video>

and got this shortcode from Adrotate:
[adrotate banner=”9″]
which I put in the custom ad as you showed.
It works and is clickable. But it is too big and not responsive.

Thank you!

Can you please resize the ad in AdRotate?

As I said: the video ad is not responsive:
Video Ad
This is the code in AdRotate now:

<video width=”325″ height=”270″ fullscreen=”false” webkit-playsinline autoplay muted>
<source src=”%asset%” type=”video/mp4″>
</video>

Do I need another code here?
Thank you!

Hi,

Please set the width and height auto because if those have a fixed size, then they are not responsive or try this https://pastebin.com/QfXny1k5

Thank you!

Hi Anamaria,
width=”100%” made it!
Thank you very much!
