    If you meant use java to create a menu similar to the one linked, that would certainly work, but that’s not the issue I’m trying to solve.

    I’m trying to figure out how to have a “page” where all of the children of category “A” are displayed. That’s how that set up functions and that’s what I can’t figure out.

    I mean I could make a bunch of static pages and manually link them to the appropriate subcategories, but that could become a nightmare as I add more and more artists (or subcategories.) I’m wanting some sort of fluid “page” that will display the children of the parent category the user is currently viewing so that when new subcategories are added, I wont have to to back in and edit a static page.

    If you meant I can do that using javascript, how exactly would I go about it?

    For example: https://www.mtviggy.com/

    When you hover over “artists,” the alphabet comes up and then clicking on a letter takes you to a page displaying all of the artists of that letter.

    While I don’t think that site is run by wordpress, surely wordpress is capable of creating something similar to that. It doesn’t necessarily need to be styled as such, just function like that.

    I want there to be some sort of file (like a page or template or something, I don’t know what to call it because I don’t know what it could be) that would display all of the subcategories of a parent category.

    As in an “A” page that would list all of the “A” subcategories (Adele, Azealia Banks, Avril Lavigne, etc.) You would essentially navigate to that page, select an artist (which in this case would be a subcategory), and then it would display all of the posts within that subcategory.

    Hopefully that makes more sense?

    Just an update: I’ve come to discover this has to be a theme problem rather than a WordPress problem.

    I switched themes temporarily to check, and using the exact same setup with a standard theme gives me ads that function normally. However, as soon as I switch back to my actual theme, the problems continue.

    I’m working on getting a response from my theme designer, but if anybody has ideas given this new piece of information, such as where I might look within the theme coding or things like that, I’m happy to listen and do what I can.

    Thanks!

    I’ve added a second widget just beneath the original one titled “Ad- Text Widget” that hosts the same code within a text widget instead of a “php code” one. It still appears to be doing the same thing, but who knows how long it might take to update if it were to fix the problem.

    I did leave the previous ad widget just for continued troubleshooting purposes, even it looks a bit strange. Thanks again for your assistance!

    Thanks for your reply.

    However, the space I have available in the sidebar is 260px max, so using a 250px wide ad I should still have room for it. If there’s a problem with the widget, is there another plugin I could try? I originally posted the adsense code straight into the built in text widget, and it did the same thing.

    And if this is the case, any idea why it would cause the same issue with the 160px wide ad on my review pages? Those aren’t used in a widget at all, they’re hard coded into the page structure and still not performing properly.
