Thanks, I appreciate what you have said.

I do think that having control of when ads are displayed is something you need to think about adding in future.

Legislation such as GDPR makes it preferable (or even essential) to obtain the user’s agreement before certain types of ad are displayed.

The reason I chose the NewsMag theme in the first place was that I thought it had good control over advertising.

I don’t mind having to code this myself, but I wanted to check first, to make sure I wasn’t “reinventing the wheel.”

Hello again

Does the ads.php file only relate to ‘Header ad’?
Where is it best to add conditional code for the ‘Sidebar ad’ and ‘Footer top ad’?

Thanks
Alan

Hi
Thanks for replying so soon.
I’d hoped that there might have been some hooks which would allow me to do that sort of thing without modifying any core files.
(Hopefully things won’t break when there is an update…)

Kind regards

Alan

Thanks for that.
Will the next update be out before 25th May, when GDPR comes into effect?

Thank you.
The main thing I wasn’t sure about to start with was whether the structured data (e.g. author and review rating) was being set correctly, but after checking with Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool it does all look correct.
