Title: Ads not showing up Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Ads not showing up * Resolved [TheBigToDoList](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thebigtodolist/) * (@thebigtodolist) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-footer-editor/) * Hello. * I’ve been trying to implement some ad tags to my website, which did not work in the widgets, so I attempted to put them into the editor. It seems that something is in the very top section of my site where I have attempted to place the banner ad, but is just showing up as blank space. * When I tried to place the ad tag for the sidebar in the footer.php of my theme’s editor, I messed up my whole sidebar and had to copy the footer.php from another of my website’s and start again. This resolved by problem, but I’m not sure now how to safely ad the ad tags, or how to get the banner ad to show up instead of being blank space. * I am using the Atahualpa theme. Thank you for any assistance!

This puts ad spaces and gives you control of where they show up.

Perhaps there is a problem with the ad tags I was sent? * [Reptar7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reptar7/) * (@reptar7) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-footer-editor/#post-6211098) * Perhaps.

We got the ads up and showing today, but the big blank space is still there. I will post the section of code in my header.php file, up to the start of the script. * If anyone can see why there is that big blank space at the top of my site ( [http://thebigtodolist.com](http://thebigtodolist.com)), I would love to get that fixed. * Thank you for all your help!
