Replace Top Ads Banner

do you want to change it? move it? hide it?

if you want to hide it then just go to your theme’s style.css file and find

#topbanner

and add the following rule

#topbanner
{
display: none;
}

Hi, thanks for the response.

I’m looking to replace existing banner url/affiliate code with new. And it will fit with the 468 x 80 template, unlike the current one. But can I find the url anywhere in the code, nope!

I’m new to WP, someone built this for me back in 2010 and I haven’t touched it since.

Thanks

the image isn’t on your site, the them is pulling it in from a location called mcssl.com

go into your theme’s header.php file (or better yet create a child theme so that when you have to upgrade the original theme you won’t have to do this again!) and find

<!-- Top Ad Starts -->
<div id="topbanner">
<a href="https://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?pr=1&id=173867" target="_blank" data-bitly-type="bitly_hover_card"><img src="https://www.mcssl.com/Netcart/banners/banner15.gif" border="0"></a>
</div>
<!-- Top Ad Ends -->

and delete this bit

<a href="https://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?pr=1&id=173867" target="_blank" data-bitly-type="bitly_hover_card"><img src="https://www.mcssl.com/Netcart/banners/banner15.gif" border="0"></a>

once you’ve done that the image should be gone and you can now add in your own image to the same location.

<!-- Top Ad Starts -->
<div id="topbanner">
<a href="https://siteyouwanttolinkto" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.youriste.com/location of image" /></a>
</div>
<!-- Top Ad Ends -->

you’ll need to tweak the CSS under the #topbanner rule to ensure that it displays at the right size and position as that’s still set for the original image.

That’s where I’m struggling, as its not in the header code or any code in the editor, I went through every php file and Ctrl > F and searched for that url. Nothing. I’ll have to post a project on an outsource site which I hate doing as I always get muppets who seem to make things worse. If you are interested let me know.

Meh! another degree course.

what’s the theme you’re using?

Found it! And you’re bang on. Its in the theme.

It is using Woo Themes Gazette and it was in the ‘Theme Options’.

Easy when you know how, eh.

But now I have to install and position the banner rotator plugin. Here’s to another 8 hours.

Thanks a lot for your help. If you want some work contact me as I will be needing a good WP coder because I have 7 WP blogs that I’m revamping, with more blogs on the way.

sweet, drop me a line at and if i can help i’ll do what i can ??

positioning that ad rotator shouldn’t be too difficult if you set it to the dimensions that the theme is expecting…
