Corner-ad stopped working

Update: This is for the free version only.

this could be a JS problems due to Autoptimize JS optimization @bjrnet21. you can confirm by going to your site with ?ao_noptimize=1 appended to the URL (which disables AO for that request)? if this fixes the problem you’ll have to go through the troubleshooting steps in AO’s FAQ.

I tried appending ?ao_noptimize=1 to the end of https://www.BlackjackReview.com/wp but Corner-ad still does not show. I also cleared the cache everywhere. Thanks for the ?ao_noptimize=1 tip though.

My corner ad settings are:
Ad name: Basic Strategy Chart
Shortcode: [corner-ad id=4]
The Ad has been selected: Only available in the commercial version of plugin

It is a little strange that the comment regarding the commercial version shows above. I only have one left corner ad since this is the free version I am using. My ad images are all valid. Like I said – it used to work before. I verified the shortcode is on the page.

Hello,

The issue is simple and it is not caused by our plugin, there is a plugin in your WordPress that convert some texts in the webpage in links to other pages, but this plugin is not able to identify if the text is part of a code in javascript, and injects the tags into the javascript code too, breaking it. Please, look the code below. I’m including two blocks of code, the original one, inserted by Corner Ad, and the code after be modified by the other plugin that causes the error:

Original code:

printCornerAd(
{alignTo:'tl', 
mirror:true, 
colorIn:'#FFFFFF', 
thumbPath:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image100x100-1.jpg',
imgPath:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image500x500.jpg',
adUrl:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/encyclopedia/basic-strategy/', 
openIn:1, 
closeIn:1, 
target:'_self'
}); 
});

Broke code:

printCornerAd(
{alignTo:'tl', 
mirror:true, 
colorIn:'#FFFFFF', 
thumbPath:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image100x100-1.jpg',
imgPath:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image500x500.jpg',
adUrl:'https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/<a href="https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/encyclopedia/">encyclopedia</a>/basic-strategy/', 
openIn:1, 
closeIn:1, 
<a href="https://www.blackjackreview.com/wp/encyclopedia/t/#TARGET">target</a>:'_self'
}); 
});

Pay attention, to the properties “target” and “adUrl”, both were modified by the other plugin.

Best regards.

Ahhhhh… Thank you very much. I am using SEO Ultimate’s plugin and in there is a Deeplink Juggernaut module, which allows automatically linking for keywords and phrases. I was attempting to put a link on every instance of the word TARGET.

I didn’t realize it went this deep into the code. I’ll have to be more careful.

Thanks again.
