Nico…I figured it out. I was trying to have only the “your ad here” block and Adsense. That doesn’t work. But when I put in a regular ad block and adsense and the your ad here…worked perfectly.

Thank you for all your help. I love this plugin.

Since you don’t see the adsense code in the source of your page, my best guess is that you forgot to tick the ‘enable AdSense’ checkbox. With the adsense ads enabled you should also be able to see an adsense ad in the preview box at the very bottom of the settings page.

Thanks Nico. I have the publisher id correct and the channel is the 10 digit number.

I’ve used Adsense for years and have another Adsense block running on the site so I’m not sure what the issue is.

When I view source I don’t see the code for Adsense in that area. I thought I might have set the width for the button area too wide for my sidebar, but tweaked that and still no luck.

I don’t want to post a link…let me mess with it a little bit more and I’ll get back to you. Thanks for the speedy response!

The Adsense channel is the number you can see in your adsense account (10 digits) Also make sure that you have filled in your publisher ID correctly, it should start with pub-

If you are adding Adsense ads to your site for the first time, it can take a little while before anything actually shows up since Google has to look for relevant ads first. What’s the url to your blog? I can take a quick peek in your page source to check if everything looks good.

Fantastic plugin! I have a question about the Adsense option. If we want to track a channel, I assume we enter the channel number. I’ve done this and cannot get the adsense ad to show. I tried with name of channel and then number. Do we need to enter quotes in front of the number or ??

Trying to troubleshoot why I’m not seeing the adsense block.

Thank you for creating this plugin. It was needed!

That is strange, the ab_plugin variable should already contain your /blog directory. Did you set up things correctly under settings -> general, the “WordPress address (URL)” and “Blog address (URL)” should be filled correctly if you are running your wordpress install in a specific directory.

Think I figured it out… had to update the @ab_plugindir line to include the sub dir for the blog files. $ab_plugindir = get_option(‘home’).’/blog/’.PLUGINDIR.’/’.dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__));

Hey Nico,
None of the jpgs & gifs that come with your plugin are loading in the wordpress CMS. My ad is displaying fine (great plugin, btw!), just no icons or stats graphics etc on the backend. Any ideas?

Thanks.
