Integration of Adsense – Color Mismatch from Theme?

  • All –

    I know it seems like there shouldn’t be an Adsense question on a WordPress forum, but I cannot find anyone else having this problem (in the world of Google Adsense), so as unlikely as it seems – I’m thinking this must be something to do with my WordPress theme.

    I was hoping some of you might just take a glance and let me know what you think…

    My Prototype Site: https://www.all-about-the-house.com

    The site has been up for about 6 months now, and I only call it “prototype” as I haven’t started a marketing campaign in earnest yet. I’m trying to get everything “just right.” If you click on any of the articles, you’ll see some Google Adsense – look for the skyscraper in the right-hand sidebar.

    You’ll see that the instant before it loads there’s a flash of “pale yellow” in the destination container.

    This is happening with every single Adsense unit I add. On every page.

    I know you’re thinking – “you have to set the Adsense default fill parameter to the appropriate default/background color at the Adsense site.” I did. In fact, I’ve even changed it to CRAZY colors to see if I could see those. I don’t. I continue to get this flash of pale yellow.

    Could this possibly be due, somehow, to my theme?

    Any thoughts or ideas where I could look?

    If I knew the hex code for this “yellow” color, I could grep/search for it — but I don’t have a clue. It’s just… always there as the ads load.

    Any insights most appreciated. This is VERY annoying! ??

    Thanks…

    Mark

  • You can try disabling all plugins to see if that is a problem and switching to the twentyten theme to rule out a theme issue.

    BTW, I don’t see it happening with ads that have blue, like your background, in them.

    Thanks kmessinger –

    I know… it *really* seems like this should be an Adsense problem to me. I have a thread open on the help forums (link below), but it hasn’t gone too far – and I can’t find any obvious way to reach google.

    But the most disconcerting thing is that nobody else seems to have this problem!

    I’m definitely going to set this up for a test on my LAMP environment in the next few days as you suggest. At somewhat of a loss here…
