Ads doesn’t fit

    Hi,

    Is there anyway to make the ad fit the entire frame instead of leaving behind the leftover purple area?

    This problem happens mainly with body paragraph ads and widget. The header works fine.

    I use advance ads to manage my adsense code.

    Thanks

    Hi Delorra,

    thanks for reaching out.

    Technically, the purpose space around the ad is part of the ad. Even the color is set up by AdSense. I guess they learned that this might increase the chance of users noticing and clicking on ads.

    Theoretically, you could set up fixed-sized ads and disable the option in AdSense to show smaller ads in bigger ad spaces. This might decrease the number of potential ads for your site significantly and have a negative impact on your revenue.

    If you still want to change the behavior then please let me know and I will check again how these options in the AdSense account are called these days.

    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Thanks Thomas.

    It’s just strange since I never saw such purple color space on other ad sites.

    Just to make sure, this is what I’m talking about.

    Hi Delorra,

    you are right about the color not being normal so I dug a bit deeper.

    The color is applied to the AdSense ad, but it is actually coming from your theme.

    There is a CSS rule in your theme that sets it:

    .colors-custom ins {
	background: hsl( 250, 50%, 93% ); /* base: #eee; */
}

    If you don’t know how to identify it then you can try the “Transparent Background” option under Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense. It is designed to override such rules from the theme.

    Let me know if that worked.

    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Yes, it works! I changed the setting in advanced ads as you suggested.

    Thank you so much Thomas!
