Odd challenge – Adsense *only* showing up in Previews of WordPress posts

Hi all,

Odd challenge here, and I hope I can get some pointers.

My site Wise Living Magazine (https://wiselivingmagazine.co.uk) was approved for AdSense, has a status of ‘Ready’ and I have created and placed ad units using Newspaper’s Theme panel > Ads. I have pasted the ad code into the ad spots (Header etc).

However, ads are only showing up in WordPress Previews of posts – but not the actual post itself when live! So far, no ads have been appearing on the live site, but they do appear when previewing a post (new or an existing post).

Could it be because I am deferring JS and CSS? Is there a bug with the Ad placements in Newspaper? Could it be caching? Am I being too impatient (but why would ads show in preview)?

Things to know:

Account activated 24 hours ago; ad units created 12 hours ago
Site status is ‘Ready’
I have purged the caches on CloudFlare (CDN) and LiteSpeed (WordPress cache)
No ad blockers
Tried incognito mode, ensured Javascript active
Checked script in <header> tags, checked ads.txt file
Plenty of traffic (>1k sessions so far)
Installed and using Site Kit

A couple of questions, please:

Key question: why are ads showing in Preview but not on the live site?
Could deferring JS, using LazyLoad etc be the culprit (though the same settings apply to Post Previews). Anyone else experience this with Newspaper?

Any ideas? Would love to actually serve the ads!

Many thanks, and keep safe!

Matt

Hello !

Please make sure that you have accomplished all the system requirements as in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/

Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

Thank you !
