@sameer,

This took a lot of trial and error for me. Basically, I enabled the Jetpack mobile site via the Jetpack plugin settings. Now my mobile site and desktop have two different layouts.

The desktop layout remained unchanged. All my ad placements via the Goodle Adsense plugin (author: Google, not BestWebSoft) remained in tact on the desktop.

For the mobile layout, there were no ads at all. I was able to configure 4 additional ads for the mobile site as follows:

1) Jetpack Mobile Theme Ads plugin automatically inserts ONE mobile ad at the top or bottom of each post you make. It does not display any ads on the homepage.

2) Advanced Ads plugin lets to publish ads using your Google Adsense account. I had to access my Google Adsense account on desktop, create mobile-optimized ads using their settings, and then copy the Ad-ids into the Advanced Ads publisher. When you go to publish a new ad via the Advanced Ads plugin, you MUST set the Display Visitor Conditions to mobile only. Otherwise, you run the risk of your site showing more than the 3 Adsense Ads on the desktop site and you do not ever want to get banned from that program. Once you publish the Ads, you go to the Placements settings of the Advanced Ads plugin and display them where you want to (within post, below content, etc.) I added 2 ads this way. These will only display on posts – not the homepage of my mobile site.

3) I got access to the beta for page-level ads in Google Adsense to display the banner ad anchored to the bottom of my mobile site. I had to look up some tutorials to figure this out, but I cannot recall the exact steps.

Hope some of that is helpful. My ideal scenario is that the Google Adsense automated ads work again, and I can de-activate all ads identified above except for the page-level ads. Then I know I am never breaking the Google Adsense 3 maximum limit, and I will have access to ads on my home page in the top banner.

And to clarify, yes that was the home page I was referring to when accessing my site through a mobile device WITHOUT the Jet-pack mobile theme enabled.

No problem!

Yes, I just de-activated the mobile theme and all Google Adsense ads display in the exact same configuration they do on the desktop site. Also, the mobile ad from the Jetpack Mobile Theme Ads plugin displays under each of my post titles (temporarily putting me well over the Google Adsense limit with that configuration).

I went ahead and re-activated the mobile theme after checking this for you.

Resolved.

Goodness, my apologies. I was seeking the Google Adsense plugin whose author is Google. I’ll mark this as resolved.

Surely, Jeremy, I will do the best I can:

Obviously I downloaded the Google Adsense plugin and activated.

1) Settings -> Adsense
2) I don’t recall the initial screen prompt to link to your Google Adsense account, but I followed them without issue and my publisher-ID correctly displays under “Ad Manager”
3) I followed prompts under the Webmaster Tool setting to verify my site. This has since and always read “Your site is verified.”
4) Under “Automated Mobile Ads,” I enabled the service by clicking to display the green check mark. Since that time, it has always read “Ready for Automated Mobile Ads.”
5) At some point after this date, text displayed that said “Your Site was analyzed on (Date, Time). This date and time updates regularly, so it still scans for mobile ad placement.
6) Ads began populating on the Jetpack-mobile site shortly thereafter. On my home page, it displays an ad in the top header which was HUGE for me. It also displayed some ads in the sidebar (bottom) of the home page underneath all recent posts. Further, it automatically populated ads into each post, within the content, without having me to choose locations.
7) Recently, all mobile ads disappeared (desktop still works), though all of the settings still display as indicated above and it says scans my site for automated ad placement.

To your other comments, I am using the Google Adsense plugin whose author is Google (your second link; not the plugin by BestWebSoft). I also use the plugin for Jetpack Mobile Theme Ads, which will display only one ad at the top or bottom of posts (nothing on the home page will display based on my site setup).

I am currently working around this issue via the Advanced Ads plugin, which again will allow me to insert ads within post content but nothing to the home page.

Basically right now, through the Jetpack Mobile Ads plugin (1), and Advanced Ads plugin (2), I am able to display 3 ads on all posts but neither of these plugins will give me access to ads on the home page. This puts me at the 3-ad limit for Google Adsense, and I also configured their Page-Level Ad code which is allowed in addition to the 3. This page-level ad is the only one that displays on the home page, anchored to the bottom of the mobile browser.

I hope this helps and thank you for looking into it!

I would definitely bork my site if I tried. Will wait..

Monitoring this issue as well. Would just GUESS that it has to do with the IG update. I was experiencing the problem before any account switching.

Thank you looking into it. I’ve disabled the Facebook Dev comments for the time being and enabled the native ones through Jetpack. Looking forward to an update from ya!

I see. The plugin still works for anything previously posted, as I’ve had other people comment on those posts. I’m assuming my next new published post will have the same issue. Please report back if a solution is found!

Jeremy, you were able to help me simply edit the background color to all black for just mobile in another thread.

I would still like to know, for future reference, how I would get a custom background to stretch the entire mobile display just as it would on the desktop. Thank you!

Thanks Jeremy… resolved. I thought that background code was going to change the white boxes to black, which would mean I’d have to change the text color to white for readability.

Everything worked like a charm.

I tried deactivating WP Total Cache and activating WP Super Cache (which has dedicated mobile settings). I will see if I experience any issues and report back but any input on WP Total Cache settings or other tips is still welcome for the time being.

Yes I contacted my web host provider and had them change some security restrictions to resolve! Lost my site stats prior to this date but everything is working now.

While I have you and without having to start a new thread, any way you can briefly help me with this issue on Jetpack Mobile theme?

1) Custom Background will only display at top of page and not not the full mobile browser. Basically just a black background box on the top of the page and then all white underneath. (I disabled the custom for now) I want it to stretch the whole screen.

2) Jetpack Mobile theme sometimes forces itself on desktop. I read some of your threads on caching but I’m still not sure the solution. I have WP Total Cache if you can walk me through a known solution to that? Please!
