# Ads bleeding between groups

 * Running WP 4.0 and Ads 1.0.10
 * I’ve created four groups, each with a single ad assigned to that group (for right
   now, more groups and more ads coming soon).
 * Three of the ad groups are in the left navbar and appear to be working as expected(
   other than impressions counts, noted in a separate post).
 * The fourth is in the body of a page. I’ve entered the shortcode
 *     ```
       [dfads params='groups=32&limit=1']
       ```
   
 * which should insert one ad from group 32. There is currently only one add in 
   group 32, so it should come up on every page load.
 * Instead, it’s rotating between all 4 existing ads. Three of them are not assigned
   to that group.
 * As a test, I created a 5th ad and assigned it to the same group (32). I now have
   5 ads in the rotation.
 * When I unassign that 5th ad from the group, it still displays in the page.
 * I created a 6th test ad and assigned it to a brand new banner group. It has never
   been assigned to any other banner group. It also displays in the rotation.
 * Deleted ads 5 and 6. Threw them in the trash. Created test ad 7. Never assigned
   to any banner group. It displays in the rotation. (thankfully, ads 5 & 6 do not)
 * Did I miss an instruction somewhere, or is this a bug?

 * Hi,
 * Make sure that your shortcode doesn’t have any HTML markup in it if you’ve added
   it to the body of a WP Post or Page. If it has HTML markup in it, it won’t work
   properly.

 * Do you mean the ad itself, or the shortcode?
 * Shortcode above is exactly as it was inserted in the page. No HTML in between
   the [ and ]
 * The ads do have HTML… a href and img src, otherwise it wouldn’t be much of an
   ad 😉

 * I mean the shortcode. Did you turn off the “Visual” editor and inspect with the“
   Text” editor?

 * That was it. When copied from Settings => Ads and pasted into visual it inserted
   some `<span>s`
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for this, had the same trouble and yes found the same <div> settings on
   the main page. Doesn’t ever happen using the side widgets however.
 * Thanks
