1.6.0 crashes

    Hi,

    I use Ad inserter to handle all my ads. It works great, and I’m really happy with this plug-in.

    This morning I updated to 1.6.0 and most of my ads dissapeared. It is odd, as not all of them then dissapeared, some of them remained. I think it crashes when it founds a DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) tag like:

    <div id=’300×250′>
    <script type=’text/javascript’>
    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘300×250’); });
    </script>
    </div>

    Could you check if there is an unclosed <div> or the like?
    I had to reinstall 1.5.8 to make it work…

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Thanks for this info.

    Please check setting for display on mobile devices.
    If you have set to show ads ONLY on some devices previous plugin versions used only server-side device detection.
    Now by default only client-side detection is enabled as this is what users want in almost all cases.

    Please check the following pages for more info:

    Please report back if this is the issue.
    If not I need to investigate further – please contact me.

    Thanks, I will check it now.

    Just one question:
    In your new Client-side detection of mobile/desktop devices, you use CSS media queries to show or hide Ad Inserter code blocks.

    I understand you use something like “display: none;” and I wonder if this way the hidden code is still downloaded by the client, even when it is not showed. This is important to me when thinking in download times and bandwith in a cellphone.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Yes.

    Server-side detection of mobile/desktop devices works only when Ad Inserter plugin is called. It is called by WordPress when it needs to generate a page. However, when you are using caching, it saves created page for quicker serving. In such cases the user might get (saved) page for wrong device. To solve this issue use themes that generate separate pages for desktop and mobile devices or use Mobile Theme Switcher plugin.

    PLEASE NOTE: Use server-side device type detection only when you need to generate code blocks based on device type. In all other cases switch it off.

    Client-side detection of mobile/desktop devices works always as it is done in visitor’s browser. CSS media queries and browser’s screen width are used to show or hide Ad Inserter code blocks:

    Is there a better way to manage caching of the ads without using separate pages for desktop and mobile sites? The only workaround I have found is to use W3TC cache in disk:basic mode, despite is being not the fastest cache mode.

    Of course!

    Use client side device detection.
