Hardcoding or Starting Over with AI Placeholders

KenB

I'm currently prepping for a theme change on my site.
I've had hardcoded ads on the site for over 2 years now, during which time I've manually disabled some, or changed the allowable ad size, and so on.
So, I was thinking that maybe I would be better to remove the current ad placeholders then let the Ezoic WP plugin start fresh with new AI generated placeholders after the new theme goes live.
I realize that the machine learning thingy will need to spend a month relearning, but considering that I'm earning less now than when I started with Ezoic, it may well be for the best as I rebuild the site in preparation for Writio to breath life back into the site.

So, the question is, how do I remove the current hardcoded placeholders, then how to tell the WP plugin to add new AI placeholders?
Alternatively, tell me why I shouldn't do this! 😀

I tried looking for a KB article, but couldn't find one. BTW, the formatting on this page is messed up, scroll down to see > https://www.ezoic.com/faq/

KenB I can see you have an assigned dedicated rep, so I'm going to go ahead and open a ticket for you to chat about your specific site setup with her, as she knows your site best! She'll get back to you in 2-3 business days 🙂

In the meantime, I'm not seeing a formatting issue on the FAQ page, can you send me a screenshot of what you're seeing so I can check this out?

Actually, Jan would know my site better than the dedicated rep that I've never spoken to.
Thanks anyway.

I can see the FAQ page formatting issue in Firefox, Chrome, Brave and Edge.
Here's the screenshot.

KenB Thanks for the screenshot, I've checked in a couple of browsers (chrome and firefox) on my end, and I'm not seeing the formatting issue, but I'd like to look into it further. Please can you let me know if you're using an ad blocker at all? And which country you're visiting the page from? e.g. the UK
Thanks!

Thanks again for your feedback regarding the formatting issues on the FAQ page. We appreciate it.
I went ahead and accessed the page using a VPN from your location, but regrettably, I couldn't reproduce the formatting glitches you mentioned still. It's plausible that there might be a compatibility between specific browser configurations and the page's layout.

I've already contacted our internal team in charge to ensure the compatibility of the page structure. Thanks again for the valuable input.

It's a bit strange that you suggest "that there might be a compatibility between specific browser configurations" as I had mentioned that I had got the same result on 4 different browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Brave and Edge.
Anyway, I just checked again and you'll be happy to know that the faq page is displaying correctly now.
