Thanks a lot! Appreciate it

Thank you for your consideration!

Hi @rilwis,

thank you for your reply! In my case with thousands of products and tens of thousand of tag pages it’s eating into the crawl budget. So I’d really prefer to not have them explicitly in the sitemap, if there’s a way.

Thanks!

Thank you for chiming in as well, Pepe. I tried it one more time and this time it worked!

Under Google Ads it said
“Account 0” Connected

Cannot give you more information why it worked now, but I’m happy it does. Thank you for your help!

Thanks for getting back to me, Shameem. I did all the steps again, and still getting the same error. The authentication issue is clearly in connection with Google Ads only. All other linkings are working fine.

Would it be possible for me to add some debug-lines to the part of the plugin code that deals with the Google Ads connection so you get more information what the posts and responses are?

Thank you!

Thank you for your quick reply. There were no fatal errors in the Woocommerce Logs.

@madjax

Done.

@madjax

Thanks for the Link on how to find the logs… I got it but don’t want to make it public here. Is there a way to PM or e-mail you the relevant part?

Thanks!

@madjax

that’s going to depend on your hosting setup.

Kinsta…

@madjax

can you point me as to where these logs would be?

@madjax

Anyone else seeing that the accounts shouldn’t have been created in the first place?

Yes. Exactly like in your case. Should have been not allowed per settings.

Thank you so much @wigster

Very much appreciated!!!

On one of the website, user registrations are disabled altogether, still they somehow managed to create a user with “Customer” role.

Same here. Is there a way to permanently make it impossible to create any user with “customer” role?

so the bot is trying to do more now than the fake user and false order that occurs.

As posted earlier, the bot ultimately is about changing site url to some scam website. The fake orders are just vehicle to get into the system

Very interesting!

Not using any of these plugins you mentioned either though…
