Did you fill in the ‘Ad Button Image’ field correctly when creating the new ad? It should be the full url to the image you’ve uploaded (i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/image/adimage.jpg)

Hi!

I have just installed the Ad plugin. Unfortunately, when i tried creating an ad for one of my clients, it doesn’t show up on the blog page as well as on the ad panel. I have already uploaded the image on our server but it still doesn’t show up. Any idea where I went wrong? ‘m no techie so I’m not really sure how to go about this.

It would be very strange if some images would not show while others would. The program simply loops through the stored records and shows them one by one in exactly the same way.

The only thing I could think of that could be an issue here is the location of the images, but I don’t think it is an issue in your case.

Come to think about it, I have seen the same thing happen on a totally unrelated page: a simple static page with nothing on it but one ‘coming soon’ image. I’ve uploaded a new image and all of a sudden it won’t show in firefox. Reloading the page with Ctrl + F5 shows it just fine, open it again and it doesn’t show the image. Looks like this is a firefox bug, might also be a caching issue on your pc or at your ISP. Try clearing your cache in firefox and see if that fixes anything.

Nico,

I’m not sure exactly what is happening but I did check the source code of the page and the images are in the code, both on the admin pages for the Ad-Button maintenance screen and on the website pages. In fact, I can cut the code, paste into an HTML editor, click the preview and it shows the images.

So I checked the pages in IE8 and Chrome! WOW! It shows the images in those browser but in FireFox 3.0, some are not displayed. The strange thing is I can copy the url for the images that are NOT displayed, put in another FireFox browser tab and it displays the images.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Nico, sorry for posting in the other post when this should have gone here.

Cudos to the changes with the fixed 125×125 buttons, the fixed sidebar width and the changes for Adsense.

I don’t know exactly what happened on your last update but now I cannot get it to recognize and display some ad button images. I’ve resaved the images as JPG, PNG, TIF and GIF, re-edited the Ad-Button record and save but no luck. I’ve even tried to add the same button again but it still does not show the image. I’ve checked the URL of the images and they do display in another browser.

Here is a URL for a screenshot of what the Ad-Buttons edit screen looks like:

Any suggestions?

Glad you like it! I’ve got a few more additions on my to-do list, so be on the lookout for updated versions.

Gene, that post is a little out of date. Automatic upgrade has since been incorporated into the wordpress core, so you don’t need a plugin for that any more.
