Adsense Leaderboard Not Displaying

Hello again,

Been using Newmag since December 2014. Love the theme! Just have one recent problem.

I’ve gone back to using an adsense leaderboard above the menu with header style #3. http://bit.ly/1AOikBD

After three (3) days there is still no ads displaying.

When I use the Google Adsense troubleshooting guide, it says I should be able to see the entire adsense google code snippet in source. However, when I look at source, the adsense code is missing and all that is visible is the call for the script. http://screencast.com/t/IzORd9qMFzw

This is a persistent issue. It hasn’t been a problem until now because I had local banner ads in there to use.

I can not get google adsense to appear there and this is important to fix. I have a complicated setup and any number of variables could be effecting it. I use Cloudflare, WPEngine, the Themes aggressive speed modifications/custom ad engine and any number of WP plugins are all likely candidates for interference.

I have tried to paste the code directly into the theme panel, no effect.
I have tried using AdRotate to show the ad, no effect.

I DO have google adsense in other places on my site and that is working ok. I have two search bars, one adsense in inline ads and one adsense in article bottom ads. These are currently working.

I would much appreciate some special attention to this issue. Thank you.

This presumes you have the desktop/mobile “enabled” vs “disabled” in your theme panel where you have pasted in the complete adsense code snippet?

I’m using header 8 and mine work perfectly across multiple sites even with stuff like mod_pagespeed doing on the fly page rewrites to remove spaces and comments.

Do you have example of the adsense code you’re pasting in to the adsense ad box ?

@ Chris S

Always a pleasure to see your comments. Thank you for being an active part of this community.

Here is the adsense code. Funny thing, when I place this code into AdRotate, the preview shows the ad just fine, and it is a different ad each time (which it should be) and it is responsive (which it should be).

But I can’t get the theme to show it at all. 🙁

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- RSM Responsive Header Ad both -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-7058286483145389"
     data-ad-slot="9979587344"
     data-ad-format="auto"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

Hm.
okay, in my header ad box I have
desktop on (grey toggle); size 970×90
tablet portrait on (grey toggle); size auto
phone off (blue toggle > right)

my code looks the same –

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- 2015 Responsive States -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
     data-ad-slot="XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
     data-ad-format="auto"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

So, it might be something funky like a minification setting or a “java optimization” setting in your Cloudflare, WPEngine — maybe there is a setting there to “ignore” a specific block of code?

I would probably turn OFF one or both of those if you are able to see if maybe they are “re-writing” the javascript for some oddball reason. “Re-writing” — such as scripts that minify, move, re-write javascript can sometimes break the simplest thing if they can’t parse “the syntax” or the “locale” of the code for some odd reason. I ran into this with mod_pagespeed with javascript optimizations — just turned it all off !

(thanks for kind words, too …) 🙂

and prints on page as so:

<div class="td-header-container">
<div class="td-header-row td-header-header">
<div class="td-header-sp-ads">
<div class="td-header-ad-wrap td-ad-m td-ad-tp">
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-header">
<script type="text/javascript">var td_screen_width=document.body.clientWidth;if(td_screen_width>=1024){document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:970px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx" data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"></ins>');(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});}
if(td_screen_width>=768&&td_screen_width<1024){document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6556273450138383" data-ad-slot="4322696829"></ins>');(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});}</script>
</div>
</div> </div>
</div>

Thank you @Chris S – Got it working. It was the minification through Cloudflare! Now to work on a solution. You the man!
