In-Article Ads on Tool Page and Understanding Grow Ads

Marcellop

Hi JourneyMV team,

I'm new to Journey and have a tool website where my primary tool is set up on a page rather than a post type. I’ve noticed that in-article ads are not showing on this page type. Is there any way to enable in-article ads for pages, or do they only work on post templates?

Also, in posts, I don’t see regular ads but only ads related to Grow, like images saying, “Want fewer ads like this one? Join Grow Today.” Are these actual ads, or are they placeholders?

For additional context:

  • On the page type, I only see the footer sticky ad.
  • I’m using LiteSpeed Cache and have added scriptwrapper in both the JS Excludes and JS Deferred/Delayed Excludes settings.

Is there anything else I should configure to get ads working across pages and posts? My other websites show Google AdSense ads without any issues, but Journey is new for me, and I want to make sure I’m setting things up correctly.

Thank you for your help!

    After extensive research on several queries, i figured out the JourneyMV doesn't show any in-article ad for page type. Then in this case, do i need to switch the page to post type? Also, I am not sure whether the ads are being displayed or not? Can you please check? Thanks a million!

    Also, I wanted to inform you that the tool page does have the div

    <div class="entry-content single-content">  so will it be eligible to display the in-article ads?

    If you have other suggestions do let me know.

    Hi Marcellop ! If you switch your pages to posts, content ads could display in some cases. Content ads are only intended for long form blog content though, so if your pages have short content or have a format other than a normal blog post, it's possible ads won't be served. For other optimization recommendations, you can refer to this help article. Thanks!

    Sounds great Rachel Johnson. Just for heads up, and I’m using the Kadence theme. I understand that in-article ads typically display on post templates, but I’m currently using a page template for the tool. For both my page and post types, I see the same content div: <div class="entry-content single-content">. I read in another post that having this div should allow content ads to display, regardless of page or post type.

    Given this setup:

    1. Do I need to switch my tool’s page from a page template to a post template for content ads to show up, or will the shared div class (entry-content single-content) be sufficient?
    2. I’ve also enabled a sidebar for posts. Will ads display in the sidebar, or do I need any specific configuration for sidebar ads to load?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi Marcellop ! The sidebar ad is good to go. And yes, you'll want to switch to a post template for ads to show -- as long as the class .single-post .entry-content is present and the content is long enough, ads should load.
