Ad Scroller
Overview
The Ad Scroller plugin provides you a great way to monetise your AppThemes powered website by allowing you to add banner or text ads, whether from Google Adsense or from another source to both sides of your web page container via the Widgets page on the admin back end. These ads will stay visible as the users scroll down the content area by staying in their positions. The plugin is ideal for displaying 120×600 or 160×600 skyscraper ads.

Support Policy
From February 2015, support will only be available via email from our email address 
.
Before you email us, please make sure you have browsed/searched through product forum for the answer to your question, and have read through the Support FAQs below:
Support FAQs
- What kind of support is offered with a purchased product?
Your product purchase includes one year of access to premium support via email and one year or free updates. Beyond that, you will need to renew your subscription year on year for around 30% of the product price. Support covers issues such as bug fixes (if any) under normal operation, how to use basic product features, very basic WordPress help, and help with very basic theme customisaton. If you need more advanced modifications please consider hiring a developer to do it for you. - Will you provide help with small modifications?
If you need to do small modifications, you may get help from us as long as they are reasonable in number and nature. If you have a lot of such modifications, please consider paid developer help. - What kind of help would be unreasonable to ask?
This is not an easy question to answer. We are here to ensure that the product you purchased works as intended by us and serves its purpose on your website. That means if it doesn’t work for you, we can step in and help you with it. However, it is when there are no issues with the functioning of the product and all you want is help with modification, that demands start getting unreasonable.
As mentioned before, we don’t mind helping with modifications, but we also expect you to have tried everything to do it yourself. In other words, we expect you to have tried all the settings in your theme, ensured that the issue relates to the product in question, searched through legacy product support forum, and looked around on Google for the answer to your questions before approaching us. Please bear in mind that one theme, one child theme and a few plugins can get you only so far, and you will probably need to make changes to the code of your website to add functionality, change design and personalise it. In case of too many modifications, we will politely ask you to seek paid help. - I am using one of your child themes. I am having an issue with it.
Please make sure the issue is really with the child theme by activating the parent theme and checking if the problem gets solved. Also please make sure you have tested all the settings in parent theme and child theme, sometimes the answer is right in there! Send us an email if the issue still persists. - I am using one of your child themes. I need help with customisation.
As a pre-requisite, you are going to need a basic understanding of HTML & CSS to start customising the layout and style of your theme. To dig deeper PHP knowledge, specifically to WordPress, will help as well. The WordPress Codex is a great place to start learning. For CSS changes related to text colour, background colour, fonts, etc, please consider using the Firebug extension. A simple Google search returns many good text/video tutorials. - Do you offer paid WordPress development services?
Yes we do depending on our work schedule. You can always run your requirements by us via email.

5 reviews of “Ad Scroller”
i bought Ad Scroller last week and it does not work for me yet.
I would try to make it working next week.
One question : On the Apparence next to Widgets then i got on the side bar Right
Ad Scroller Left
Ad Scroller Right
when i click on the widget Ad Scroller Left nothing appear .. why ?
I am using Classipress 3.6.0
Finding good locations to insert ads is very difficult, and other plugins create the space horizontally, meaning, if you put an ad there, it “pushes down” the main content. What I really like about ad scroller it creates space on the sides, which does not effect the site itself.
You can see my ad scroller in action here:

By the way, if you don’t mind, once you are on my site, please be kind and click on one of the ads…thanks!
i bought it and it does not work with taskerr.

How many banners can you display at one time? Can you put three of four 125 x 125 banners down one side?
Thanks
Darren
You can display one skyscraper ad banner or up to four 125×125 box banners and they will line up just fine.

Mohsin
Any timeframe for 3.2 support?
It’s already compatible with 3.2!
I know it says “ClassiPress Ad Scroller” but would this also work for Vantage?
No it wouldn’t. The default Vantage layout width is too big for the skyscraper ads to appear on the most popular screen resolutions (1280 to 1366px in width).

I have also emailed you about this and removed the email address from your post above for your security. Thank you.
Thanks Yumiko for your prompt reply on this!
Problem setting up the Ad Scroller, how do I to display 160×600 or 120×600 Skyscraper banner ads
thanks
Hi there,
Go to Appearance -> Widgets. You should notice two new widgetised areas, “Ad Scroller Left” and “Ad Scroller Right”, all you need to do is drag a text widget in them and past your skyscraper banner ad codes and save.

Mohsin

Classipress 3.2.1 Install Issue – Can’t Find tpl-ads-home.php
These instructions aren’t correct. I can’t find tpl-ads-home.php anywhere in the classipress folders. I’m running Version 3.2.1. Am I blind, if so what is the path to tpl-ads-home.php or what are install instructions for Classipress 3.2.1
Installation
Extract zip in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Look for below code in tpl-ads-home.php within your theme folder:
and replace it with:
For versions before ClassiPress 3.2.1, use index.php
Hi mohsinoffline!
What do you mean with using index.php? Could you explain what you mean? We have the version 3.1.7.
thanks
is it compatible with 3.0.5.3 classipress
It has only been tested with ClassiPress 3.1.9 and above.
I know it says “ClassiPress Ad Scroller” but would this also work for sahifa theme ?
We will soon begin working on getting the plugin to work across all the themes, but currently getting it to work with your theme may require custom coding.
Great little plugin, any chance of this coming for vantage in the near future?
We will soon begin working on getting the plugin to work across all the themes, but currently getting it to work with Vantage may require custom coding.
