Side Bar Ads

If it helps, I am also using a child theme (can’t remember why- it helped with something). Is that perhaps why some of my widget options would be missing? I have your most recent update and the wordpress most recent version, and honestly this is the first time I’ve tried to set up ads so I’m not sure if it was correct before and missing since the update. Pretty much there is no sidebar option to drag a widget to on the right column at all. If this is something that isn’t specific to your theme I definitely don’t want to switch, but am curious where available ad space would be- only in post or below?

I’m afraid Tracks doesn’t have a sidebar option for displaying ads. For displaying widgets, the After Post/Page and Footer widgets are available. Besides that, Tracks Pro adds a widget area above the main content on all pages. I could also help edit the child theme to move one of the “After” widget areas to before the post content as another option.

Oh no… was afraid of that :/
Well, I love the look of the theme so I don’t want to re-do the website, but that is pretty crucial. People just sometimes don’t always make it to the end of a post to look at all of that. Not sure if I want a widget area before the content because I like that an ad isn’t the first thing they see, but I will definitely keep that in mind for future in case so thank you. I guess what about the tag and categories part on the side that is showing? I don’t really care about that being visible. Is there a way to replace it..?

Also, any idea about the footer ad not being optimized for mobile? Have you ever had someone else mention that or you think it’s the plugin I used perhaps?

The categories/tags section next to the posts isn’t “widgetized”, so it only displays the categories and tags. It can be removed with the following CSS:

.entry-categories, .entry-tags {
  display: none;
}

The footer should be optimized for mobile, so I suspect it’s a plugin. I’d be happy to take a look though if you can share a link.

That would be great as I don’t think they have responded yet! For now I just put everything in a widget for after post and it looks fine, just limits my future ad space but I don’t really have traffic yet so just thinking ahead. My website is https://www.bodycompassdiscovery.com and the ad I am referring to is the one in the footer on all pages and posts. I can try to re-set it up not using that plugin though if that is the issue.

I may remove those tags just because I only really need them for my use, but not necessarily to be visible- thank you for the code!

Okay I see what you mean.

This code should make all the ad images in any of the ad widgets across the site responsive:

.widget_codeneric_ad_widget img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

It will let the image use the full space available without ever overflowing out the sides.

Oh thank you so much! Where is the best place to insert this code so I can test that out?

Sure thing ??

It can be added into the Additional CSS section in the Customizer, and will then take effect immediately.
