Fluid Ad Widget Not Showing Image

    Hello,

    I have a Fluid Ad widget on my homepage. I am using it to show an image, and link to a sub-address on my website.

    <a href="https://www.excelwtf.com/forum/"><img src="www.excelwtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ForumAd.png></a>

    So the image link on its own works if I enter it into my browser. However, on the website it does not show. I just get a white box which I can click (the hyperlink still works). The width of the image used is 300px. To my knowledge, the image did show when I first set it up.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Thanks
    Caleeco

    Does your src attribute need to be closed with a quotation mark?

    Hi @amilliman

    Thanks for the reply. I must have been messing around with it before posting. I do have the closing quote, but face the same issue.

    I have also tried uploading a new photo (JPG instead of PNG) less than the max width allowed (290px instead of 300px). But the same thing happens.

    Could it be a theme issue instead?

    Here’s my thoughts:

    It could be either that the image is actually loading, but somehow the formatting is messing up, OR the image is not actually loading at all.

    I would try testing the latter first by using the alt attribute. Set alt = “my_image_txt” and see if the same white box referred to shows up, or if the alternate text shows up.

    hi @amilliman

    Thanks for your help.

    Well, the plot thickens. I’m pretty confused! I update the code:
    <a href="https://www.excelwtf.com/forum/"><img src="https://www.excelwtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/VisitForum.jpg" alt="my_image_txt" ></a>

    Reloaded my website… and now the image appears as intended!?

    Perhaps it was a caching issue as I used SHIFT+F5 to refresh. I’ll give it a couple of hours and see if the image remains.

    You used the https:// inside your src attribute. I was just thinking about if that could have been the issue.
