January 9, 20205 yr Thanks yes, I did that, but it wasn't working. I assumed I was doing something wrong. I will try again. Thank you.
January 23, 20204 yr Hi newbie - Is there anyway to block the ads from showing to bots? The issue that I am running into is that the Indexing crawler is set to Googlebot Smartphone. However for some reason the ads don't render the mobile version of the ads so Google is penalizing the site for not being mobile friendly when really it is. I see two solutions here if possible. 1.) Allow us to disable ads when bots are crawling the site 2.) Update to code to check for bots and render the mobile ads for them. Thanks for any ideas/support you can offer here. Chad
January 24, 20204 yr Author Hello, 9 hours ago, BlueEye said: ideas/support you can offer here. You can check the bots using \IPS\Session::i()->userAgent->spider Example {{if \IPS\Session::i()->userAgent->spider}} Show code for bots {{else}} Show code for others {{endif}}
January 24, 20204 yr Thank you very much newbie LAC! Per your example, I know there is also an "Extra condition" area where you could return some value (string, number) to display an advert. Could your code in the if statement be altered slightly to ready NOT A SPIDER? In this case I would simply add that one line to the extra condition area vs. wrapping each advert in an if/else statement. {{if \IPS\Session::i()->userAgent->spider}}

January 30, 20204 yr One last question Newbie - if I enable Lazy Loading of media content on the site, will this lazy load the ads? If not, is there a way to enable an option to lazy load ads? Thank you! Chad

February 14, 20204 yr Dear Newbie LAC I am now using your plugin again. It still works fine there is just one small problem. When I try to restrict an ad for just desktop and then in the settings I will tick that option, after saving that option will not be saved. When I go back into the settings then, it always shows "All devices". So I am not able to only show a certain ad only on desktop devices which is a big problem because some of my affiliate ads are not responsive and so they will be therefore cut badly on phone devices. How can I solve this? Would be amazing if you could help me with that! Best, Marcel

March 2, 20204 yr Hi there - a while back I purchased (NB40) Ads After X Posts and (NB40) Ads After X Topics. Are these plugins outdated? Do I need to buy this one instead and disable the others? @newbie LAC

Specifically, where in the theme can I display an ad after every 10 posts in a thread or every 10 topics in a forum. It would be greatly appreciated!
