Site not clickable

Gatsu

I added two ads on my forum, one in the header and the other in the footer using the flarum admin panel.
Since I inserted the ads, it often happens that at the beginning of the forum loading, all the menus and discussions are not clickable, I am forced to close the tab and surf the forum again. When I have this problem I have noticed that there are jquery errors in the Google console, especially with slow connections.
How can I solve?

Gatsu Ads extension was revived and it puts ads neatly where intended, you could install https://packagist.org/packages/davwheat/flarum-ext-ads

which requires

flarum/core: ^ 1.0.4
and uses Adsense code only at the moment.

With the injection of html code plus .js which your using, could not properly jibe with flarum causing random the links not clickable most likely when .js loads and vice versa. Before you start making users annoyed or missing revenue from failed clicks, i will suggest you make changes immediately.

Braden It happens randomly, sometimes you can't click on anything.

Justoverclock I just ran it. You say it could solve?

I hope so. I see lot of errors into your console, probably caused by an extension ? You need to disable all extension and test your website well. Then enable extension one by one

Gatsu

Justoverclock Nothing, problem is still present.

Gatsu so its an extension that cause this?.....try disable all new extension end the enable it one by one to debug

Gatsu

Justoverclock Thanks but I have too many extensions, it takes me too long to check them.

The problem has been happening to me since I have been using ads. I contacted the ads manager but they say it is not dependent on their advertisements.

Justoverclock

Gatsu so try disabling this ads only....

Gatsu

Braden Thank you very much but I don't use adsense and therefore that extension is not working for me.

Good morning,
I entered an ads using the flarum admin panel, in the header section.
This ads, specifically in this position, randomly creates problems for me to load the page, jquery errors and therefore in practice the site is not clickable. You have to refresh the page hoping that everything is loaded to solve.

As I understand, the problem is not the ADS, but the location. I used the flarum header field found in the admin panel.
How could I move the location? Maybe putting it under the menu, the problem should not appear.

This is ads:
<div id="83640-2"><script src="//ads.themoneytizer.com/s/gen.js?type=2"></script><script src="//ads.themoneytizer.com/s/requestform.js?siteId=83640&formatId=2"></script></div>

Gatsu you might need to raise a bounty for another ads extension to be developed for you that supports different ads codes than google only. Talk to Luceos

Gatsu Hi, I'm migrating from vanilla forum to flarum, I have almost everything complete, but I have the same problem you are talking about with the Themoneytizer ads. have you found any solution to this issue?

Gatsu

JoZ3 No, I haven't been able to solve it yet unfortunately 😭

JoZ3 do you have a link to a page where the behavior can be reliably observed?

JoZ3

Gatsu I've been trying to look for solutions but I can't find anything, I've even been playing with the AI's like bing and bard and the answers it gives me don't help.... 🙁, it is very frustrating because that is the little and only livelihood of my community.

I and @JoZ3 have the same problem.
The forum is not clickable when themoneytizer.com ads are on.

Lots of errors come up in the Chrome console.
The ads were inserted via the @IanM extension.

clarkwinkelmann Hello, this is the link with themoneytizer ads active: it is a test site: https://americamilitar.com/am2023/public/all

this is the ads code and it is placed at the top of the page (head), I have tried different ways to place it in other parts of the web site and the result is the same.

<div style="text-align:center;" id="25697-31">
	<script src="//ads.themoneytizer.com/s/gen.js?type=31"></script>
	<script src="//ads.themoneytizer.com/s/requestform.js?siteId=25697&formatId=31" ></script>
</div>

Gatsu it seems like some code that runs after the page has loaded removes jQuery from the global scope. Once jQuery has been removed, the Flarum single page app cannot function anymore.

I assume this is caused by some code inside of the ads code. I can only suggest contacting the ads provider customer support to ask why that might happen.

It would likely be too time-consuming to try troubleshooting this further manually, unless the ads library is open-source and we can take a look at their non-minimized version.
