Support » Plugin: Super Cool Ad Manager Plugin » Problem targeting subcategories

  • Hi,
    I installed the plugin tempted by the “targeting support.

    I noticed that it seems to have problems with sub-categories. For example this page is for the category “Office suites” that is nested under “Software”; if in DFP I set the Key-values Category->office-suites the banner I want to display does NOT show (it shows AdSense as all my units have it as backup), but it does if I set Category->software.

    How can I solve?

    Thanks in advance and compliments for the plugins (as for the rest it works perfectly).

  • Hi Marco –

    Working on a pretty major update to the plugin now so that’s helpful feedback. Let me do a little testing with this and get back to you. Hoping to get this new release out by the end of the month and should be able to include this fix in that release. Take care!

    Hi Adam,
    thanks for your answer. I will look forward to the new release.

    Unfortunately I have to report that after further testing I found out that targeting isn’t working at all for me (maybe the success I had on my original post was due to a temporary test I made where I removed the targeting on DFP).

    To be sure it wasn’t something strange with the original ad campaign (as it was set up before I have installed the plugin) I have made a new test campaign with a 300×250 box (I have set the Nvidia logo as image and the Nvidia site as target url) that target the hardware category of my site that is a first-layer category; the box should appear on the right sidebar between the search box and the “Social Networks” – for that ad unit I temporarily disabled the AdSense fallback to force it to show only the DFP ads if available; as you can see, it show nothing.

    If I remove the targeting on DFP, the box show up (on all pages of the site of course).

    Here a screenshot of the targeting setup on DFP: http://imgur.com/a/ZbsMj.

    Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Any news on the update?
