  Hi,

  I have added wordads to my premium wordpress.com account. However the ad appears on the right panel pushing the subscription widget far below – people have complained to me that they are not able to find where/how to subscribe.

  I was hoping if there is a way (by adding CSS or something) in which I can have the the subscription widget appear on top!

  Thanks for the help in advance!

  Hi there, it’s not possible to change the placement of the WordAds ads on your site, and to the best of my knowledge, not even with CSS. https://wordads.co/faq/

  One thing you might try in addition to the subscription widget is publishing a new, separate page with only the blog subscription shortcode in it and then add that page with a Subscribe link in your navigation menu.

  Menus

  Hope that helps.

  Hi Shiwani,

  I believe its possible with CSS. It will be using Flexbox which now has pretty good browser support. But if the browser doesn’t support it, it will just go back to the current order.

  Here’s the CSS you can try:

  .sidebar-primary {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  }
  .sidebar-primary aside {
  width: 100%;
  }
  .sidebar-primary .widget_blog_subscription {
  order: -1;
  }

  Give that a go, let me know if you have any more questions.

  Hi Jennifer,

  Thank you for your help – this is exactly what I was trying to do before I tried the moving option. I tried via mailchimp and that would not show / display the subscribers on the blog.

  Thank u thank u – have been trying this for a couple of weeks now.
