Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sticky Ads Lightweight

Disable both global placement options and add [sticky_ad_lightweight] to the desired content. The shortcode defaults to the bottom position. Use [sticky_ad_lightweight position="top"] for the top position.

The shortcode takes priority on that page, and the global output is suppressed to prevent duplicate ads.

Scheduling uses the timezone configured under Settings > General in WordPress. Schedules that cross midnight, such as 22:00 to 06:00, are supported.

Yes. You can choose text, an image URL, or sanitized SVG markup in the plugin settings.

Yes. Exclusions, device targeting, and scheduling apply to every rendering method. Only one shortcode/block placement is rendered on a page, and it replaces automatic placements.

The current-tab option uses sessionStorage; timed dismissal uses localStorage with an expiry. No dismissal data is sent to a server. If browser storage is blocked, the close button still works for the current page. Auto-hide does not record a visitor dismissal.

Scheduling and device visibility are checked while WordPress generates the page. Configure separate mobile caches where needed and clear cached pages when changing schedules or exclusions. Remembered dismissal and responsive heights work in the browser. Remembered dismissal hides the container; it does not prevent third-party ad code from loading or replace a consent integration.

Install and configure your GA4 Google tag first. Enable GA4 Events in the plugin and open the question-mark setup guide. Default events are sticky_ad_impression and sticky_ad_close. An impression counts once per placement per page when at least half the container is visible in an active tab; a close counts a visitor click or keyboard activation, not auto-hide. These are container events, not confirmed ad-network impressions. The plugin does not install Google tracking scripts or use the Measurement Protocol. Missing/blocked tracking never prevents ad dismissal. Register event-scoped custom dimensions for ad_position and ad_id if you want those breakdowns in reports.
