 * I’m having no success getting adrotate to work in block mode. The ads are always
   stacked vertically whatever I select for the grid format, and whatever size I
   am choosing for the ads.
 * Should I be adding my own CSS to make this function correctly or should the plugin
   format automatically?
 * I haven’t delved into the CSS too deeply yet but wondering whether the Visual
   Composer in use on this site is causing a problem.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblock-mode%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If adverts appear as a stack, almost always the alloted space is not wide enough
   for your block. Commonly there is a margin or padding on the area you’re trying
   to place the block making the usable space smaller than it appears (singe those
   are invisible 🙂 ).
 * Some themes apply margins or stuff to images, which may cause a block to deform.
 * If there are no margins on the images themselves. Try with smaller adverts and
   see if that works. If it does, the allotted space is simply too small. You can
   often edit the theme to remove or reduce the margin/padding to make it fit though.
   Talk to your theme maker for details on that.

 * I don’t think this is the case – there is no restriction on the container.
 * If I use web inspector, AdRotate is applying g-2 class to the column which in
   your stylesheet has max-width:250px:
 * <div class=”g g-2″><div class=”g-col b-2 a-2″>
    — AD 1 CODE — </div> <div class
   =”g-col b-2 a-2″> — AD 2 CODE — </div></div>

 * If it would fit it would show up correctly, right? 😉
    In 99% of all cases it’s
   a sizing error with the parent element.
