Hi folks! I just turned on my Adsense account today for a new site, https://www.mankatolife.com and before I tagged any ad positions ads started showing up in random places.
I verified that the ads I was seeing were, indeed, mine.
There was a random ad showing below the header ad position, but when I tagged the header ad that one went away.
There is a random ad showing intermittently in the sub-footer or below the sub footer. I tagged the footer position, but those random ads are still showing.
The ad at the top of the sidebar is tagged and intentional, however there is another random ad that shows up inside various widgets in the side bar. On one pageview its in one widget then the next time its in another widget.
I have no other plugins serving ads. Can you help?
Hello biglipper,
Please provide some useful screenshots with the problem because I have inspected your website and I did not saw any kind of ads on your page, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Thanks for the response, Catalin!
I have attached the screenshots you requested.
Note that I have ads activated in only four Newspaper provided positions, Header Ad, Sidebar Ad, Article Inline Ad, and Footer Top. Every legitimate position has the Ad Title, “Advertisement.”
I have explicitly set all other ad positions to be turned off on all four platforms.
I’m still seeing rogue ads intermittently in either the sidebar widget “Adoptable Pet Of The Week” and “Featured Happenings” but never both at the same time.
There are rogue ads in the homepage “Most Recent Posts” section intermittently.
There are rogue ads either in the sub-footer or below the sub-footer but never both at the same time. This one is the only one that is not intermittent and shows on every page view. Hopefully, it can be helpful for diagnosis.
Reminder that I have no other plugins that serve ads. I’d be glad to grant you access to the site if you need it.
Don

Hello,
I have inspected your website and I did not saw any ads placed in strange locations of your website. Everything seems to work as expected. Try to clear all the caches, remove or disable all of the untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
