Adsense Code Not Working

Hi jloram,
I’ll save you from the explanation on why this happens, but the adcode will despite showing the character encoding after saving.

Basically, paste in the full code and save. This WILL correctly save as long as you pasted in correct code. However, please note that when the page refreshes, it will look like your second example (if you reload the page again, it will display correctly again – this is done for an extra layer of security). Because of this, if you were to save again with the escaped version in the textarea, then instead of the original and correct code, the ‘html escaped’ version you are seeing will overwrite it.

TLDR; Just paste in the correct code and save once and you should be good to go.

Please let me know if you need further help with this

Hey thanks for the FAST response! Another question along the same lines…

I’m set for each question to open on it’s own page, how are ads treated in this instance? Will it show an ad instead of question 6 then go to question 6 after the ad?

I also have my time set for 20 seconds per question.

The ads are meant to be displayed in the loop – so when multiple questions are on the same page. Like a lot of features, the ads from this “feature” are not compatible with the WP pagination feature if you have it set to less than 6.

I recommend disabling WP Pagination and to instead use the pagination feature on each individual question. This will make it so that all questions are on one page, but only one question appears at a time. This is fully compatible with all HD Quiz features and will run your ad code after ever 5th question (note: Adsense has a feature where Google chooses where to show the ad, so that would obviously override every 5th question placement).

However, if you really want to use WP Pagination, then I would recommend adding your adcode directly to your theme, or to use HD Quizzes hdq_before hook to add the code for only pages where ads show.

For example, if you add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file, then the ad code will be added just before the quiz on each page.

function hdq_before_jloram($quizID)
{
?>
	
<!-- paste your ad code here -->

<?php
}
add_action("hdq_before", "hdq_before_jloram");

Outstanding, thank you. I think this is going to be the perfect tool for my needs. Can’t wait to review and send you some good ol’ US dollars. BTW, belated Happy Canada Day wishes!

Oh, and I believe that’s how I have mine set up. I’ve left the WP Pagination blank and I ticked for each question to appear on it’s own page. Is this correct?

Sounds like you have it right ??

Thank you for the Canada Day wishes. You have a great time tomorrow as well!
