    The look of ads on PC they appear correctly but not on mobile.

    alt text

    Is there any CSS we could use to position the ads and make them responsive (to not pass out the width div) for all pages like this one https://sopriza.com/question/songs-banned-radio-tv/

    Thanks

    @Sala Are your ads set to be responsive? You could use CSS, but the images will in fact look worse as they will but cut short. My recommendation would be to follow the below

    https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7005917?hl=en-GB

    Also, you should review this

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22463041/displaying-responsive-google-ads-css-problems

    If you really need something in the short term, you could use this

    @media (max-width: 767px) {
    	#google-center-div img {
    		width: 370px;
    		margin-left: -420px;
    		height: auto !important;
    	}
    }
    

    However, it’s worth noting that the height value is being set by javascript so changing it dynamically will not work with CSS (it’s being overridden by js)

    @phenomlab Looks like i will have to dig on this one, because the above CSS code didn’t work. Thanks for trying!

    @Sala that’s odd - it works when targeting your site.

    @phenomlab the above CSS code is still inserted while am searching for other options. Or Maybe it’s my mobile phone? Have you tested on your mobile if it’s working?

    @Sala Try replacing with

    @media (max-width: 767px) {
    	#google-center-div img {
    		width: 370px !important;
    		margin-left: -420px !important;
    		height: auto !important;
    	}
    }

    @Sala Don’t turn it off, but do clear the cache.

    @phenomlab Their widths still pass out the div.

    My actual ad code:
    <div><center>Advertisement<script async=“” src=“https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-xx” crossorigin=“anonymous”></script><!-- example_responsive_1 -->
    <ins class=“adsbygoogle” style=“display: inline-block; text-align:center; width: 100%; height: 280px;” data-ad-client=“ca-pub-xx” data-ad-slot=“xx” data-ad-format=“auto” data-full-width-responsive=“true”></ins>
    <script>
    (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
    </script></center></div>

    @Sala Then you have to use responsive ads as I posted previously. Did you review those links?

    @Sala ok, fine, but I’d still recommend you go down the responsive ads route. The CSS code will probably cause issues with other images as they are loaded within the Google ads code

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    @Panda said in WP / Woocommerce Mystery: Just back to my other question, have you ever used Shopify? It insists on a templating language to use any custom js. Not personally as never had any need, however, I do know that it uses Liquid for JS templating. It’s written in Ruby and is used to generate dynamic content on shop fronts. There’s zero reason as to why it wouldn’t work with data supplied by 3rd party API’s, although WordPress code won’t natively work for obvious reasons, and as such, this code would need to be re-written. The JS part will likely work with minor modification, but not the PHP file in it’s current form.

    @Hari I think you’re referring to this https://sudonix.com/topic/170/creating-posts-from-rss-feeds-in-flarum However, this code was never designed to work with WordPress, but you could leverage the WP-CLI to do something similar without too much effort.

    @phenomlab said in Hardening WordPress - Reducing the attack vector: @jac Microsoft’s and Google’s Authenticator both support TOTP - essentially, a time based system that changes every 30 seconds. The main principle here is that the device itself carrying the One Time Passcode only needs to be in sync with the source server in terms of time, and can be completely offline with no internet access. Provided the time matches on both devices, the One Time Passcode will be accepted. Applications such as Microsoft Authenticator and Authy also support push notification meaning you just choose either yes or no on your device when prompted, and then that response is sent back to the origin which then determines if access is granted or not. One of the best looking password less authentication models was CLEF - sadly, this product died out due to a lack of funding (if I recall correctly) although some open source implementations of this have appeared quite recently. Essentially, both products will achieve the same goal. TOTP is an industry standard, and widely accepted across the board. Not all services offer push confirmation. Many thanks for the detailed reply mate. There’s some great advice in there that will help me secure my accounts.

    @jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
