    Thomas, not sure if you recommended this in any of your replies..

    But I changed the placement settings to manual and removed all of the display conditions. they now appear exactly where I want them too.

    One question is about the shortcode that shows up once you chose manual placement. I used the code from the placement tab and it worked. I’m wondering does it matter which one is used? And maybe adds some clarification as to which to use.

    Hi lizglewis,

    > removed all of the display conditions

    Yes, this is what I recommended ??
    I am happy to read that it works now.

    > ’m wondering does it matter which one is used? And maybe adds some clarification as to which to use.

    I am not sure what you mean. If you use multiple placements then maybe only one of them is still working and you can remove the other one. You can find the list of placements under Advanced Ads > Placements.

    Please let me know if you need anything else.

    Thomas,

    To clarify, removing the display settings did not work.

    What did work was changing the placement settings from after content to manual placement. Where you take the short code and place it exactly where you want it to appear.

    It would be simpler to fix if these 2 settings were on the same tab. I wasn’t paying any attention to this tab until I gave up on playing with the display conditions, part of the ad settings.

    Thanks for the help. Please close this ticket.

    I would be happy to see if I can improve the UI. What do you mean by “tabs”?

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Under Advanced Ads
    > Ads
    and
    > Placements

    should be combined as one.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The separation is on purpose and makes especially sense when you deliver more than one ad in a give position, like ad rotations when you want to test different ads against each other.

    I agree though, that the combination of ads and placements could be simplified and have a few ideas which we are going to implement incrementally. Any feedback and suggestions are welcome!

    Best regards,
    Thomas
