Google Ads Manager / DFP Ads

    I am having a very difficult time getting my own ad orders to display via ad inserter. They are google ad manager ads that I have setup to the specific ad sizes, which I have already placed on the site, but the space is nothing but blank.

    I used https://dfpgpt.appspot.com/ to generate all my header tags and then used the header shortcode followed by the body tag and created the 3 ad units I wanted to place through the site. But it’s not working.

    I have been through the documentation a few times, but I feel like I’m missing what I need to do to successfully get the header code to work and display the ads properly. I’ve got a launch coming up and I have spent a ton of time spinning my wheels on this. Can anyone walk me through what I might be missing?

    Thanks,
    Tania

    Shortcode [ADINSERTER HEAD group="Google tags"] separates header code (above) and body code (below).

    Code for block 9 looks fine.

    Yes, in the Header code window put complete header code.

    Of course, the code above [ADINSERTER HEAD group="Google tags"] in block 9 will be inserted in the header where you put [ADINSERTER name="Google tags"].

    Yes, I understand that is where the header code will be entered.

    So you see now that block 9 looks right and is working, but if I use this same format for block 2 (auto inserted, multiple ads), it will break block 9.

    Block 2 only works if I format it like this: https://snipboard.io/zKwJPo.jpg

    If I use just: 

     googletag.defineSlot('/5513051/DFW-Craft-Shows_RB/DFWCS_RB_House-Event-Med', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1582689673099-[ADINSERTER counter="block"]').addService(googletag.pubads()); 
[ADINSERTER HEAD group="Google tags"]

    above the body code, it does not work. Or it will work but Block 9 will break.

    If I use 

    googletag.defineSlot('/5513051/DFW-Craft-Shows_RB/DFWCS_RB_House-Event-Med', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1582689673099-[ADINSERTER counter="block"]').addService(googletag.pubads()); 
[ADINSERTER HEAD]

    It will not work.

    Here is my header file:

    Any ideas?

    To place two ads side by side simply put both ad codes in a block.

    header code 1
    header code 2
    [ADINSERTER HEAD group=”Google tags”]
    body ad code 1
    body ad code 2

    This would only work if using two different ad units, correct?

    No, it can work with any code.

    The plugin simply inserts the code you configure.

    I can’t get anything to align still. I’ve tried all the built in settings and this custom code:

    margin: 8px auto; text-align: center !important; display: block !important; clear: both;

    Which block on which page?

    Block 2, 8, 9 here all have this code.

    You should use alternative CSS for centering ads:

    margin: 8px 0; text-align: center; clear: both; display: flex; justify-content: center; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;

    In the preview window you can also use alternative CSS code for centering the ad. Double-click on the icon for center alignment and the code will toggle. The current code version is displayed next to Alignment and Style selection.
