Thanks for this!

I had the same problem, deleted, reinstalled and now its fine.

Go figure.

Thanks Lucian!

This was a weird problem but it seems a category wasn’t set properly on the newspaper panel.

Just in case this helps I am pasting the screenshots of what the issue was.

The used category is not showing because it dose not exist: http://screencast.com/t/8Uane6aWl6me – http://screencast.com/t/3bQ80RUCLX

Thanks guys!

Awesome theme!!

I have sent you email with all the details and a user ID to login to my test server. I tried to fix this for 2 weeks but no cigar.

Thanks!

Just to close this conversation I wanted to add a couple of things.

I ended up using an adserver plugin called CM Ad Changer (http://bit.ly/1VogTjd – affiliate link) and it actually works really well with newspaper theme.

Then I got a response back from Adsense Support who told me that on average 728×90 is their highest paying ad size between (970×90,970×250 and 728×90).

Based on that I removed the ad server plugin and am back to using the theme normally – one less plugin.

All is well.

Thanks again for the great support!

Thanks for the awesome theme and support.

Sorry to hear this but glad to hear it from the horses mouth.

May I respectfully suggest a future enhancement? It would be awesome if we could simply use a widget for that spot as another option.

The theme could simply check if the widget is empty and if so use the theme logic instead.

It would solve the problem and avoid third party plugins.

Thanks for an awesome theme!

In my sandbox I disabled ALL my plugins and its still the same issue.

Here’s the javascript being generated by the theme.

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var td_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;

if ( td_screen_width >= 1140 ) {
/* large monitors */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-xxx” data-ad-slot=”xxx”></ins>’);
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
}

if ( td_screen_width >= 1019 && td_screen_width < 1140 ) {
/* landscape tablets */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-xxx” data-ad-slot=”xxx”></ins>’);
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
}

if ( td_screen_width >= 768 && td_screen_width < 1019 ) {
/* portrait tablets */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-xxx” data-ad-slot=”xxx”></ins>’);
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
}

if ( td_screen_width < 768 ) {
/* Phones */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:320px;height:50px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-xxx” data-ad-slot=”xxx”></ins>’);
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
}
</script>

It seems like on Auto, the theme is deciding that 728×90 is the default large size.

Problem is, Google should be setting that value not TagDiv or Newspaper. If I am reading this properly, I am theoretically losing money if advertisers want to advertise on my site at 970×90 or 970×250.

The entire point of responsive Google code is for Google to send me the HIGHEST bidding advertiser for that size and in many cases, that is 970×90 or 970×250.

Am I wrong?

Yes I could probably hack it with an include file or whatever but I love the theme so much it feels like it should work as designed.

Thanks for the response.

I put the responsive code in there but the desktop NEVER loads anything larger than 728×90. I used different browsers and had my friends check as well over several days.

It seems to max out at 728×90 and my frustration is that if it’s truly “Auto” it should be doing 970×90 and 970×250 part of the time.

Does your newspaper site show larger leaderboards just using the standard responsive code in the header?

I actually want the theme to do what you described which is “allows Google to “load in” the largest banner for that viewport, so full width on desktop, or smaller on iPad portrait, wider on iPad landscape, etc.” but my concern is that the theme is not adapting to anything larger than 728px.

I’m hoping that I am wrong or doing something wrong.

It just happened again.

This time to another writer not me.

Thanks, it seems like it was a temporary glitch and as soon as I added the popular posts plugin to the sidebar, it was fine.

Thanks for the effort, this is not an issue at this time.

Thanks for the awesome theme! Hands down the best!

Oh and other authors on the site don’t seem to be having this issue, just me. A new article was just published and seems to be fine.
