    Hi,

    I’m absolutely desperate. I sense that this should be easy but I’m not a developer and what I’m doing is not working.

    I have two advertisers. I want each page to rotate between two groups of ads so that each advertiser always has 100% Share of Voice on a page. i.e You load a page and advertiser 1’s ads are all there: you reload the page and advertiser 2’s ads are all there etc

    Please help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello,

    this forum is dedicated to free Ad Inserter. For Pro support please use this form:
    https://adinserter.pro/contact#help

    This feature is supported also in free Ad Inserter, so I’m answering here. But remote debugging doesn’t seem to to be enabled:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ad-inserter-support-forum-before-you-ask-for-help/

    Please note that each page load is independent and basically ads are inserted randomly. So you can’t specify what exactly will be shown with the next page load. You can, however, once the choice for the rotation group has been made (group activation), have all ads on the page from this group:
    https://adinserter.pro/documentation/ad-rotation#groups

    But the ads on the next page load will still depend only on the active group (random).

    Thanks for replying. I’m aware of the documentation. It’s not doing anything for me.

    I’ll try and explain it differently:

    I have ads from two advertisers.

    I only want ads from one advertiser to show up at a time on each page.

    What am I doing wrong, please?

    EDIT: Your contact link seems to be broken.

    EDIT: I’ve ticked the remote debugging box. So, I don’t know what the problem is there, either.

    Many issues. Your rotation code is wrong. You don’t have a block for group activation – remove group activation shortcodes (and share values) from blocks with ads and configure them this way:

    [ADINSERTER ROTATE group="1"]

<ad code 1>

[ADINSERTER ROTATE group="2"]

<ad code 2>

    Configure one block with this code for group activation, set insertion to Above header (to get this position you need to enable Output buffering):

    [ADINSERTER group="1"]

[ADINSERTER ROTATE]

[ADINSERTER group="2"]

    BTW you don’t have to specify share values if you need equal shares. For group rotation shares should only be defined in the block for group actvation.

    Since you are a Pro user I would strongly suggest asking for help here:
    https://adinserter.pro/contact#help

    Or if you have issues submitting the form send support request to info@adinserter.pro.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I don’t understand anything you said. I will definitely go for Pro support but your link doesn’t work. So, I’ll send you an email.
