There seems to be content on my website below the footer/sub-footer that I don’t want to be there. I can’t see it on a desktop, but it appears like this on mobile:
I’ve tried disabling the footer and sub-footer, as well as trying various different templates, but I still see this content on mobile, underneath where the footer should be. I can’t see where this is coming from in the tagdiv composer, and there is nothing in the footer widget areas.
It seems to be a column which is trying to show popular posts and categories on the website.
Hi,
That looks like an adsense ad – http://prntscr.com/mgttm7 maybe check all the ad codes you entered in the theme panel or theme files.
Also, if you use auto placed adsense ads, these will appear randomly and anywhere in the page

Hello Simion,
That is not an adsense ad, those are articles and content from my website. I am using Google auto-ads, and I do sometimes see Google ads loaded under this footer section alongside my site’s content like in the picture you posted, but I consistently see those posts and category archives from my own website in this section.
I would like to remove them, since I assume they’re separate from the Google ads.
Indeed, some of them are links to the website, but there are ads as well

These are in the same container so they are served by Google it seems

You could check the configuration of the ads in your Adsense account, maybe there are settings for them.
I am not seeing any settings related to this on AdSense. Would this issue possibly be due to something moving the Auto Ads header script code to the bottom of the page? I thought tagDiv Speed Booster and/or WP Super Cache might be the culprits, but when I deactivated both of these plugins, the issue did not go away.
Also, for further clarification, the issue goes away completely when I remove the Google Auto Ads code from the website header.
The auto ads seem to have an option to display matched content

Maybe you have activated that setting , you could check that.
Thanks a lot! I didn’t realize that the “matched content” element for auto-ads was selected, so removing that fixed the issue of content being posted below the footer.
