Did that link above work for you when you clicked on it?

All I get is a white page. Clicking on it from inside admin panel is the only way I can see it.

By the way, here is a full screenshot of what I see on my front page: https://brownsista.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Brown-Sista-Online-Magazine-Black-Female-Celebrities-132551.png

Oh yeah, someone with a good reputation and standing on the forum ??

I know nothing about coding and stuff. It’s like a foreign language to me.

Yes, it comes and goes. I have seen it too. Sometimes I am even seeing a double banner. But refresh a few times and it will go away.

I switched my site over to Twenty10 if you wanna take a look and no banner on the front page. Click on a story and you see the banner at the top.

I deactivated all the plugins and restarted one by one yesterday as well and the problem persisted.

I also did a fresh install of wordpress from the admin are.

I put an ad inside the Kubrick theme and it would not show on the front page.

I put an ad at the top on TwentyTen and it did show… in preview. But when I activated it, it could no longer be seen.

Something else. I keep thinking of things. ??

The last time I had a similar issue it was with the previous WordPress update before the last.

After that update my traditional is_home() conditional tag no longer worked with some of the ads. I’m now forced to use a combination of is_home() and is_front_page() .

Swapping those didn’t help today though. As a matter of fact, in the header, usingis_front_page actually removed the pink background that shows behind the banner.

I don’t actually think that though. If it was one ad network, sure, but not everyone of them.

Also, Google Adsense will show on the front page flawlessly.

Could javascript be the issue? I don’t think Google uses javascript.

??

I want to add a bit more info.

When I add the ad coding to the WordPress default theme it shows the ad in the Preview window, but the ad vanishes once I activate the theme and make it live.

Also, the only other time my ads vanish is when I am writing an article and I preview it. I was also thinking that maybe the preview function went haywire and is affecting the front page.

Thank you- I got it done ??

Where do you put the above code?

This will show the second and all the rest of the paged homepage the same as you would on a category page :https://brownsista.com/category/fashionista101/

Ok, we can try this ??

As for the category pages, I will deal with the look for now. My main goal for now was to make finding older posts easier. Most ppl seemed to not even realize those Category links on the front page are clickable.

Next we try to get the formatting for your second and next pages to look like your of catecory pages.

What exactly would this do?

Right now when I click on the pagination links the six thumbnails up top going across change to show all the previous articles, page 2 and so forth. I like that. I don’t want to click on pagination and say get this look: https://brownsista.com/category/fashionista101/

YUCK. i always did hate that look.

Btw, the link I cited up top, https://clutchmagonline.com/, when you click on her pagination every category changes. Is there any way at all to do that on my site?

Everything is just the way I want it. I am great with how things are ??
