footer ad size increase

Hi kerdezo. If you enable the Footer Ads option, but don’t add any widgets, the default size of the main div container should be your screen width x 21px height. The inner div container should be your site width x 0px height. If you install a widget the containers should expand in height dynamically to fit the content of the widget.

Hi bdbrown,
I have enabled Footer Ads option and added,the Tag Cloud widget from the
default widget store. After that I checked with “Inspect element”.The size expanded from x21 to x27,5 but was hard to reed even one word from tag cloud content.( As if top of area was cut off. See only bottom half of big letters.)Now the cloud is in the 2nd footer, but I’m going to place the cloud again to Footer Ads, so You can check. https://www.mosthallottam.hu

ps.: same Cloud widget in Header Ads place shows ok.

Strage. Never ran across that probably because I’ve never put the tag cloud in the Footer Ads. Can’t explain it since it also appears to happen in the default theme configuration. Try adding this to your child theme css and see if that helps:

/* style the tag cloud in footer ads widget */
#footer-ads .tagcloud {
    line-height: 24px;
    text-align: left;
    width: 350px;
}
#footer-ads .tagcloud a {
    padding: 2px;
}

OK ILL try but,
Its not about,that I want to add tag cloud to the Footer Ads.
Its just about I wanted to try how it would display an AdSense advert in the Footer Ads area. As I had no other widget with so much content, I started to try with tag cloud:-)
The real question is, what size AdSense advertisement can be planned/placed to this area. Width is given, but will height expand to,say, 280pxs, if I want to place a 970×250 or a 336×280?
Same question for header Ads.
Is there any expanding limit in Ads areas? Is it flexible up to this 280pxs level?

I haven’t run any ads in the Ads widgets but haven’t seen any other reports of problems and there are plenty of users that run ads. I have tested placing ad code into a text widget in the Header Ads and it displayed without any problems.

OK.Thanks for the kind assistance.That was the main point.

In the mean time I added the css – doesn’t help as the result showed as if copied the footer2widget content above the footer1 widget. Same cubic layout, same size of the cloud content:-)

showed as if copied the footer2widget content above the footer1 widget

That’s what it was supposed to look like to show you that the Footer Ads container does, in fact, expand to accommodate the content.
