Only one ‘enable_page_level_ads

Thanks for reaching out. This console warning is to inform you that you have the AdSense Auto ads code snippet placed more than once on your site. In your case one of these placements is via Site Kit and the other possibly via Ad Inserter. While the code you shared is for a single ad unit I believe it’s possible now to allow Auto ads to be placed on your site from such single ad units, see the “Optimize your existing ad units?” section below:
https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9305577?hl=en

Can you inform me if the same console warning exists if you disable this option?

Note that this is just a console warning, it doesn’t stop Auto ads from being displayed. You’ll see a notice that one of the references is ignored.

The code entered in “adinserter” is as follows.
I checked, but there is no duplicate ca-pub.

By that did you mean there is no duplicate “enable_page_level_ads” reference? You should be using the same ca-pub-**** reference, this is your AdSense account code.

@jamesosborne Thanks for your reply.
Yes, that’s right. There is no duplicate ca-pub code in adinserter.
Also, AdSense auto ads are turned off.
But the error is still output.

the order in which the error occurred

1. Auto ads were set as an AdSense experiment
2. Auto ads are turned off.
3. An error is output

There were no errors before setting up auto ads.

Should I contact the AdSense forums?

Thanks for the update. The “enable_page_level_ads” will appear if you have this as part of your snippet from elsewhere on your site.

It sounds like the second reference is coming from your Ad Inserter settings somehow. In order to resolve this with both Site Kit and Ad Inserter active you can remove the snippet from one of the plugins.

If you wish to remove the Auto ads snippet from Site Kit you can still use the AdSense dashboards within the plugin. You just need to disable the option to allow Site Kit to insert your AdSense code. You’ll see this below, accessible from “Site Kit > Settings > Connected Services > AdSense > Edit”

This should remove the console warning. Let me know if you have any further queries on the above.

Thanks for the kind and detailed explanation.

The following two types of code do not exist in Addinsert.

<script data-ad-client=”ca-pub-****************” async src=”https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle. js”></script>

<script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script> <script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({
google_ad_client: “ca-pub-****************”,
enable_page_level_ads: true,
tag_partner: “site_kit”
});
</script>

Is it possible to keep the sitekit’s settings and change the addinsert’s code to something like below?

<ins class=”adsbygoogle”
style=”display:block”
data-ad-client=”ca-pub-###”
data-ad-slot=”5952087769″
data-ad-format=”vertical”
data-full-width-responsive=”true”>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

It’s possible that Auto ads can be inserted on a user site without manually inserting this Auto ads code, as AdSense can do so by “Optimizing” single ad unit codes. You’ll find more details on this below:

Site Kit doesn’t modify any other plugins AdSense code. As above I suspect the additional snippet is from one of your non Site Kit placed ad code snippets, not necessarily an Auto ads code snippet. The product experts at the AdSense Help Center should be able to assist further on this, or more than we can here in Site Kit plugin support.

If you’re simply looking to remove the console warning in relation to more than one Auto ads code snippet you can disable the option to allow Site Kit to insert your AdSense code as mentioned previously. This is not necessary if you prefer to not make any changes, as AdSense will ignore one of the snippets.

@jamesosborne

I do not use auto ads.
Auto ads were set automatically by experimentation, and I turned off the settings because I didn’t need auto ads. The problem arises afterward.
I’m not using auto ads, and as you said before, I’ve turned them off.

Thanks for the update. If you’d like to share your Site Health information via this form or here I’d be happy to check your setup however the console warning you’re referring to comes from the AdSense platform and not any Site Kit service. For that reason you may be best to ask in what situations this warning can occur using the AdSense Help Center.

While I also try to recreate this from my side can you confirm whether or not the warning appears if you turn off the option to allow Site to place AdSense code on your side, or after you disconnect the AdSense module within Site Kit?

Thanks for your reply. @jamesosborne
I’ll start by disabling AdSense settings in SiteKit’s settings and see if the error occurs, then let me know here.

thaks for help. @jamesosborne

Insert the AdSense code into site's header file,
I changed the settings as shown in the screenshot.
The error is gone.

Thanks for the update. I’ve checked Ad Inserter with Site Kit, along with the Auto ads settings in AdSense under “Ads > Overview > **selecting your ad unit*** > Edit“.

When you’re using Ad Inserter or other ads related plugins depending on the a code you input into these plugins there is a chance you can encounter the console error you reported – if you’ve also allowed Site Kit to insert AdSense code on your side. If you’ve added a full single ad unit code into an ad block and allowed Site Kit to insert your Ad Code then you will encounter this console error. As mentioned above this doesn’t impact your ads or stop them from running, one of the tags is ignored. This is also mentioned within the console error. If you’re looking to remove the console warning then don’t allow Site Kit to insert your AdSense code or don’t include the Ad Sense script when inserting code into your active Ad Inserter blocks.

Finally the “Optimise your existing ad units” option with your AdSense settings doesn’t have any impact on the console errors from testing on my side.

Let me know if you have any further queries on the above.

@jamesosborne Thanks for the update with detailed explanation.

No problem at all, best of look with your site going forward, and thanks for using Site Kit.

@blackdeth73 Just as a follow up it looks like you’ve helped us to discover a potential regression in the plugin with some recent changes. I’ve added your details to the GitHub issue below:
https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/4180

While in your case you were using another plugin with AdSense integration would it be possible for you to confirm that the error remains when following the steps below:

1. Login to your site from a Chrome browser incognito window
2. Install and activate the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin.
3. Navigate to “Plugins > Health Check & Troubleshooting > Troubleshoot”.
4. From the same screen click on the “Available Plugins” tab at the top right and then click on the “Enable” option next to “Site Kit by Google”
5. Ensure you have the option to allow Site Kit to insert your ad code enabled within your Site Kit AdSense settings
6. Check for the console error once more

You can exit troubleshooting mode afterwards.

@blackdeth73 Today we released v1.43.0, which includes a fix for this error. Please update update to the latest version of the plugin and this message should no longer display.

I’ll mark this topic as resolved, but if you do continue to have any trouble, just let us know. Thank you for using Site Kit!

I checked that the “Site Kit” plugin was updated today, and removed the manually entered AdSense code.
And set it up like the screenshot below.

https://paste.pics/7c14abd088c88631b80c7353a6d45c38

The “Only one enable_page_level_ads” error is gone.

Thank you so much for solving the problem. @shetheliving

As before and still, “site kit by Google” is the best plugin.
