[Plugin: Awesome Google Adsense] Causing 500 error

How did you disable it???

To disable it, all you have to do is FTP to the website and delete the folder under /wp-content/plugin/

BTW, I’m having the same problem as TennaWho, so i guess that makes three.

I went into my host file server and created a “plugins_old” folder that I moved it to for now until the script is fixed. I could’ve deleted it, but I didn’t want to lose the settings I already have.

The problem seems to be with the verify Adult Content URL (https://awsmteam.com/verify_adult_content.php) which seems to be down.

By quickly commenting out the function on line 243 in the awesome-google-adsense.php, you get the functionality back; like so:

/*     <<<<<- Add This
function verify_adult_content() {
	$allow = ini_get('allow_url_fopen');if($allow != 1){ini_set("allow_url_fopen", 1);}$allow = ini_get('allow_url_fopen');if($allow == 0){return false;}$_data = array('site'=>get_option('siteurl'), 'plugin'=>'awesome_google_ads');$data = array();while(list($n,$v) = each($_data)){$data[] = "$n=$v";}$data = implode('&', $data);$url = parse_url('https://awsmteam.com/verify_adult_content.php');$host = $url['host'];$path = $url['path'];$port = 80;$data_length = strlen($data);$header  = "POST $path HTTP/1.0\r\n";$header .= "Host: $host\r\n";$header .= "User-Agent: DoCoMo/1.0/P503i\r\n";$header .= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";$header .= "Content-length: $data_length\r\n";$header .= "\r\n";$fp = fsockopen($host,$port,$err_num,$err_msg,120);fputs($fp, $header . $data);while(trim(fgets($fp,4096)) != '');while(!feof($fp)){$response .= fgets($fp,4096);}fclose($fp);
	if ($response == 'OK'){
		return true;
	}
	else{
		return false;
	}
}
*/  <<<--- Add This

You will need to also comment out the function call on line 259:

/*     <<<<<- Add This
	verify_adult_content();
*/	  <<<<<--- Add this

TennWho, by deleting the plugin you don’t loose the settings as those are kept in the database.

Thanks emueses! As I said, I’m still new to WP so I didn’t realize they would be saved. I really appreciate the help!

The same thing happened 11 months ago and they blame it on DNS. You can see the threat here

I don’t know about you, but after commenting that part of the code, my website is now really, really fast! (admin pages, individual post, etc.)

I also have a problem with Awesome Google Adsense plugin. When I deactivated it and deleted it, the configuration of my site was still not back to normal. There are one or two large square empty block in my post and pages. I have also deleted the file in Myphp from my BlueHost host page, but the post and page still not back to normal. So what I can do next to restore my site? Thanks.
