    I am using wordpress and I have put a Large Vertical ad banner in a wdiget, but the ad will not show. Has anyone had this problem before?

    It is supposed to show where it says "sponsors" on the right sidebar.

    The site is:

    freebie house plans . com

    Well, your ad DOES show up in the page code...(below). You know, it doesn't always work placing them via the widgets. Recommend going into Editor and placing directly on the page.

    google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXX";
    /* new-widget */
    google_ad_slot = "6566217182";
    google_ad_width = 160;
    google_ad_height = 600;
    //-->
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script></div>

    looks like you dont have enough space on your sidebar to sisplay the ad. go into your admin panel and opne your stylesheet. try increasing the width of your sidebar which will fix the issue. or to test it, you can use a different ad unit with smaller width which will work just fine also

    If I were you I would just put it in using the Theme Editor in WordPress.

    I might just ad it in manually, I just realized that it shows on all my other pages but my homepage.
    I'm not very good with .css and .php but I will try and put it in there. Thanks guys.
