Have tried to get as much relevant information for this. * We have two websites, [eastangliainbusiness.co.uk](https://eastangliainbusiness.co.uk/) and [chemicalindustryjournal.co.uk](https://www.chemicalindustryjournal.co.uk/) both use the same theme and ad rotate plugin. * On the chemical website we have 9 ads, 4 in a group in the header, 2 in a group in the sidebar and 2 single sidebar ads. The 2 single sidebars ads get roughly 1500 impressions a day but the ads in the groups get double digit views, about 100 impressions in total, should that total be closer to 1500? * The eastanglia site has 3 single ads 1 in the header, 1 in the sidebar and 1 in the main body and they all return different values. * We have about 90% desktop users using sites. * Again any insight would be great. * Attached screenshots of usual day of stats. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/eastangliainbusiness.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/CHEM_1_2. png?ssl=1) * ![](https://i0.wp.com/eastangliainbusiness.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/EAB_3_2. png?ssl=1) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AdRotate Banner Manager] Impression stats have dropped off dramatically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/) * Thread Starter [sim009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sim009/) * (@sim009) * [9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/#post-18743993) * Thanks again, I’ve got a couple of questions for you please. * Are the impressions of all the ads on a page counted when the page loads? * And in an ad group should all the ads that are in that group each get an impression counted when the page loads? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AdRotate Banner Manager] Impression stats have dropped off dramatically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/) * Thread Starter [sim009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sim009/) * (@sim009) * [9 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/#post-18726300) * Thanks for that, the shortcodes do work fine with the placement of ads, in the header, sidebar etc but it’s just the stats on the ads that we are trying to get to the bottom of, why the numbers don’t seem to match with our website traffic. * I think I’ll contact the theme developers next to see what they say. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AdRotate Banner Manager] Impression stats have dropped off dramatically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/) * Thread Starter [sim009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sim009/) * (@sim009) * [9 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/#post-18724669) * The shortcodes do work but the stats were not picking up and you suggested using php snippets instead of shortcodes. I’m not exactly sure where to use the php snippet, where to place the code? * I put the short code in the theme ad box, add custom code. * Does that make sense? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AdRotate Banner Manager] Impression stats have dropped off dramatically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/) * Thread Starter [sim009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sim009/) * (@sim009) * [9 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/#post-18723735) * I’m not sure if I am doing this correctly but here is how I tried. * I used a plugin to convert php snippet to shortcode eg which converted to [wpcode id=”14407″] and inserted that into header template but nothing was displayed on page, the usual [adrotate group=”10″] displays ok. * Does that look right? Is that the right php snippet or should I put it straight into theme? * Any help would be much appreciated.

I’m just curious. * I’ll contact the theme owners and see if they can help too. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AdRotate Banner Manager] Impression stats have dropped off dramatically](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/) * Thread Starter [sim009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sim009/) * (@sim009) * [10 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impression-stats-have-dropped-off-dramatically/#post-18700881) * I updated the theme, we use Newspaper theme, the headers and footers are separate templates now. * The only ad placement that has stayed consistent is the sidebar. * Ads in the headers and main body of website have dropped off.
