Manual insertion: Shortcode or PHP function call not working

Hello,

I’m not sure whether I understand your problem correctly.

How have you used the shortcode?
How have you implemented PHP function call or custom hook?

Please enable remote debugging:

In the space next to the logo you have the following code:

<div class="header-ad">	
<!--MONUMETRIC [ATF|Pos 1] D:728x90 T:728x90 M:320x50,320x100 START-->

<div id="mmt-89db5b0f-7437-45eb-a506-b9a9d42365d8"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" data-cfasync="false">$MMT = window.$MMT || {}; $MMT.cmd = $MMT.cmd || [];$MMT.cmd.push(function(){ $MMT.display.slots.push(["89db5b0f-7437-45eb-a506-b9a9d42365d8"]); })</script>

<!--MONUMETRIC [ATF|Pos 1] D:728x90 T:728x90 M:320x50,320x100  ENDS-->	
</div>

However, this code doesn’t show anything.

You have a lot of javascript errors on that page:

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate. Sorry if I did not manage to properly explain my problem, it was indeed a bit blurry.

Basically, I want to make the space next to the logo, visible/accessible by Ad Inserter, and use this space for Ad Inserter ads.

#1. How have you used the shortcode?
I tried both [adinserter name=”myAd”] and [adinserter block=”7″]

#2. How have you implemented PHP function call
I used <?php if (function_exists ('adinserter')) echo adinserter (7); ?>

#3. or custom hook?
I went to “Ad Inserter settings” > tab “Hook” > and used “header-ad” hook in “action”.

The code in the space next to the logo, should be replaced by one of your shortcode, PHP function call or hook, once I will have been able to implement any of those solution.

Once again, I really appreciate your help.

Are you sure header-ad hook exists in your theme?

If not you can make it there.
You need to modify your theme file (very likely header.php, I suggest to create a child theme and not to modify the original theme files) with something like this:

<div class="header-ad">
<?php do_action ('header-ad') ?>
</div>

Then you configure it in Ad Inserter and use it as position for automatic insertion.

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your input! I had a look into the header.php file of my theme, and found a snippet which looks closely like the one your provided:

				<?php if (wt_get_option( 'wt_header_ad' )) {?>
					<div class="header-ad">	
						<?php echo wt_get_option( 'wt_header_ad' ); ?>	
					</div>
				<?php } ?>

Since they almost look like the same, I’m not sure if this would change anything. I’ll give it a go to see if that changes anything (but it will likely deactivate the ad space from the theme’s settings).

FYI, I also tried and added wt_header_ad to the hook settings in Ad Inserter, but it didn’t work.

Cheers,

But there is no such hook as wt_header_ad in your file?!

In my post above you have the code for the hook if you wish to implement it.

Hi Igor,

I replaced

<?php if (wt_get_option( 'wt_header_ad' )) {?>
<div class="header-ad">	
<?php echo wt_get_option( 'wt_header_ad' ); ?>	
</div>
<?php } ?>

By your code

<div class="header-ad">
<?php do_action ('header-ad'); ?>
</div>

And it worked! The ad space is now available in Ad Inserter.

I think the issue was that the hook does work with do_action and not with wt_get_option.

Thanks again for your assistance!
