@angus - I wish I could explain more, but the ads just stopped working one day a couple weeks ago - probably due to an plugin auto-update. I wish I had better introspection into but the logs aren’t there. We worked with Raptive to get them back up and running, which they seems to be doing fine. The biggest finding from Raptive was that I needed to basically turn off CORs on our forum and our blog. After that, they began to work again.
We use Cloudflare as a CDN provider for the blog (WP). It is also running on OpenLiteSpeed server but is not using the OLS CDN (using cloudflare). Caches are busted on any updates/posts/plugin updates.
The code that I am using for the Raptive ads are the following:
if ( function_exists('is_subscribed_to_memberful_plan') && is_subscribed_to_memberful_plan( array('98342-fallcamp2023', '21436-gray-monthly', '21300-white-monthly', '34796-pfb-yearly', '34795-pfb-monthly', '69495-pfb-2021') ) ) {
?>
<script>
adthrive.cmd.push(function() {
adthrive.disableAds();
});
jQuery('body').addClass('logged-in-no-ads');
</script>
<?php
}
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'enqueue_custom_footer_script');
I know it might be a lot, but here is some aged CSS on that we’re using on the child-theme to do some style adjustments. I’m working on cleaning it up:

I also need to add that this site has over 27k posts and is close to 10 years old. It has a lot of data in it. This weekend, I am going to update the theme, clean up the css, and make sure we haven’t accidentally crossed any streams.
Y’all are so awesome to look into this. I really appreciate it.
