Banner will not display

[boukmn]

I tried to install a banner on the position 3 on my site. I used sideboxes/banner_box_all.php, sideboxes/banner_box_all.php, head position 3. I read the proceedure in the ZenCart Manual and think I followed it correctly. The banner shows up under Banner manager but not on the site. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

My site is www.floridadriftwood.com

What banner group did you add it to? Do you have that group activated for position 3 in Admin> Configuration> Layout Settings?

In Admin> Configuration> Layout Settings I have Banner Display Group - Header Position 3 ..... BannersAll Selected.

Make sure your banners in the BannersAll group are active or they will not display.

Already looked through another thread on this similar topic;

Have happily had a banner box with its image & hyperlink showing for ages then all of a sudden the image & link has gone. The banner box surround & header title is still there but nothing in it.
Provided below is my home page source for that banner box, & nothing here seems amiss. Also shown the details in my admin settings after that, plus a copy of what my tpl_box_default_right.php file reads, as mentioned in the other thread.

Any thoughts anyone, got to be something simple, nothing updated recently, still on 1.3.7 with PHP Version 4.4.7

Not sure if I've missed something but I just checked and the banner box 2 seem to be working ok in multiple browsers (image displays ok and link redirects correctly).

Sounds like it is an ad filter on either your computer's antivirus or your browser doing this ...

To test this theory, make a banner but load its image to a new directory:
/images/zencart

be sure to set the directory to 777 when you make it ...

Brilliant, I thought it must be something very simple, as its been working like all the other banners with no problem until the last couple of days. Ive dug about & found it was some ad blocker thats just started to get involved, hence why you all could see the sussex (map) logo & follow the link but I could not.

Great work folks, both of you who replied did respond fast & helpful, many thanks again.

Thanks for the update that your ad blockers were doing this ...

Might keep that in mind for all your banners as many of your customers have ad filters too and will get similar results ...

Simply don't use directory names that will trip an ad blocker ...

Can you expand on that with a suggestion.

It was only an ad (or sort of) to my sister site that was blocked neither of the more commercial ones. So I would like to understand why just that one got blocked but the others were okay.

Where is the directory name, as it just pushed the link to the home/index of that other site.
