Hello Bogdan,

Thank you for your fast reply.

I realized that the width is indeed smaller than 728px, but hopefully forcing that size for the “Article bottom ad” looks OK.

I am taking this opportunity to point this out. Since this is the most common banner size of AdSense, wouldn’t it be appropriate for a theme that claims to be AdSense optimized, to allow for such a size in the main part and a 300px on the sidebar?

I would like to clarify this from the very beginning though, I am not complaining or anything… I am just curious why you decided to go for a 696px width when using a sidebar. No sidebar is a rather uncommon layout nowadays and with the most common widths of AdSense being 300px, 728px, 970px, it just doesn’t make sense. A width of 696px is too large for a mobile banner of 320px and it is small for 728px. “Resizable” ads will resize to 696px * 84px making their text unreadable in most cases, while non-resizable ads will show as 320px * 100px leaving 188px of blank space from left and right.

Furthermore, AdSense links are around for centuries and in fact, they are very effective. Without any special types of ads, or special accounts, like AdSense Premium, AdSense allows 3 Ad units and ANOTHER 3 Ad links. Not supporting links, in theory, cuts the potential ad revenue in half and it is definitely a missing feature of an AdSense optimized theme.

Thus, consider a suggestion of mine to add support for AdSense Ad links and possibly widen the main part of the theme to 728px.

Thank you very much,
D.

Update:

I managed to solve the problem myself.

It appears that the problem was caused because my Facebook ID was in Greek. I changed it to English and updated the respective information in the plugin, which solved the problem.

I don’t see a way to mark the thread as solved, so moderators please do it for me if needed.

Update:

I have managed to reach my desired results by doing the following:

1. I removed all AdSense link ads from Theme Panel > ADS.
2. I installed a plugin called AdSense Plugin WP QUADS: https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-adsense-reloaded/
3. I used the plugin for the top and inline ads in posts.
4. I used the settings under Theme Panel > ADS to force the desired sizes.

That solved my problems so the thread may be marked as solved, but I would like to know if there’s is a native way, without other plugins to reach the desired results.

Thank you in advance,
D.
