AdSense not Showing – Used to Work

Thanks James, I’ll be sure to try that out as soon as I get my old phone number up and running (can’t login to my primary gmail at the moment due to 2F – but working on it).

I got the double script because I’ve put back the manual ad in my theme, but the manual auto-ads code is gone. How would you recommend I go about removing the script call, should I just take it out of the manual ad? The thing about that is that the manual ad is (I believe) the first one to show up in the code.

Here’s how it looks on my end: https://ibb.co/VYdbHmx

Then after that code we have the plugin inserting its own code(s).

I was going to ‘just’ use the plugin but most of the time there isn’t an ad in that particular spot where I want it, hence the manual placement in my theme (supports 3 different spots on its own – I just use the first one).

Should I just remove the script call from there, will it still work or just leave it as is anyway?

Thanks.

@legendarymage Thanks for the update. If you are using single Ad Units then no problem to keep the code as it is. Totally understood about the positioning preferences.

Let me know how you get on after checking your existing AdSense account and we can check the site again, hopefully it will work as expected.

Ok, so I removed the admin access for the first (primary) account and went to do everything fresh, checked from two browsers – it’s still the same error (account ID not found). When setting up the plugin it reports that it has found the account and does the connection but when the time comes to actually display the information, it’s the same error.

Maybe you could try and duplicate this on your end somehow? I switched to SiteGround hosting and that’s the ‘only’ thing that changed since then.

@legendarymage Thanks for the update. I’m happy to try and recreate the same issue from my side. Before doing so can you try and grant your newer Google account (which you used to setup Site Kit) admin access from within AdSense. Then you can disconnect the AdSense module before connecting once more. You shouldn’t need to connect that old AdSense account to Site Kit if your new Google account has full admin access.

They both had admin access to AdSense for a long time. Today I removed access from the primary account and just left the newer one but still the same issue. Basically no matter what I do, it’s always the same error (which is weird because in the site kit plugin page it says adsense is connected and everything ‘works’).

@legendarymage Thanks for the update. I’ll investigate further and try and recreate the same issue from my side. If you can leave it with me while I do some further analysis and get back to you.

Sure James, take your time. No rush. I’ve enabled everything else in the plugin and the ads on the site are fine.

In the meantime I’ve found out that google has integrated auto ads and features within standard ad unit codes so that’s pretty cool too.

Now I only have the one ad unit code (manual placement) and site kit’s code – which is active because the plugin ‘does’ work and says it’s ‘connected’ but there’s just no information that’s being displayed.

I also googled a bit more and it seems that there were other people affected by the same, so it’s not an isolated issue I’d say.

Might be worth looking into the plugin and under which circumstances it would return that error, but I’m not a programmer so I can’t do that – sorry!

Thanks for trying to help James, feel free to update this whenever – I’ll get an email when you do.

@legendarymage I am unable to recreate the same issue from my side with a single ad unit in place before adding the AdSense module via Site Kit. What it’s difficult to pinpoint the specific issue can you update to the latest version of the plugin to check whether the same issue persists?

I’ve updated and now I’m getting “We’re getting your site ready for ads
AdSense is reviewing your site. Meanwhile, make sure you’ve completed these steps in AdSense.” But my site was approved long time ago and has been serving ads for years, why this process again? ??

@legendarymage Thanks for the update. There have been reports of the module taking some time after site approval although they were usually for new sites on the AdSense platform.

Can you leave this with me a while longer while I investigate further?

Sure James, take your time. Everything ‘works’ in reality, it’s just the stats that cannot be shown properly.

@legendarymage Thanks for the patience while we investigate this. I’ve spoken with others using some test accounts I can’t replicate the “Account ID not found”.

If the same error is appearing can you provide the XHR Response (Header and Response) when you visit the AdSense panel from within Site Kit?

Np probs James! I don’t really see that error anymore after the last plugin update, right now I’m getting:

Maybe it’s because when I switched to SiteGround and made the https://www version default that somehow it’s not being registered properly? On my AdSense account page I’ve got:

https://imgur.com/5iTQCIk (in the form of a domain name) but I don’t think that should be a problem though? I know webmaster tools tracks performance differently for all these addresses, but under the domain name format it simply includes everything.

Other than that, I’ve got caching enabled on SG (all 3 of them that they offer) and I don’t think there’s any plugins that are conflicting.

Should I remove the site from AdSense and then let SiteKit re-add it? I notice it’s trying to add https://www.legendarymage.com but in AdSense only the domain name is appearing.

I followed the links from the adsense sitekit page and this is the thing that I’m getting chronologically:
