I have been experiencing a problem for the past 3 days that has left myself and quite a few others dumfounded I came online Monday morning and found that my ads were no longer showing on the front page and the page that is displayed when you search for something. Since then, the ads kinda come and go, sometimes I see them on the front page, but mostly not. The same started happening last night to the other pages of my site, but eventually the ads returned. My site is a self hosted wordpress and I have tried everything to fix the issue. Because the issue happens with various ad networks (Gorilla Nation, Tribal Fusion, Value Click, BET, Adgroups, AOL) I am pretty sure the ad code is not the problem. Adsense by the way shows up fine. I have re-installed wordpress, switched to the standard Wordpress TwentyTen theme, diabled all plugins, you name it and I did it. Still, the ads will not show up on the front page and stay. If you are familiar with Wordpress you know you can preview a theme before you set it live. Well when previewing the ads show up and stay up, even after multiple refreshings. But once I hit ACTIVATE and check the front page- the ad is back to coming and going, appearing and then disappearing again. Like many of you I work online fulltime. This is my job- how I pay the bills. Without the ability to display my ads I am essentially a step away from being unemployed. If anyone has any advice, please do share. It’s been 3 days and I am tired and out of ideas. My site: brownsista dot com (Link won't work, yes I read the rules ) Refresh move around the site, you’ll see what I mean. Right now I have the default theme showing, per Liquid Web’s advice. I have one ad in the header, but when displaying my usual custom theme all five ads on the front page come and go.
Please, has no one here ever experience a problem like this before? I am in the fourth day of this ordeal and still have not been able to put my finger on the problem.
Yeah, my host, Liquid Web, worked with me for three days before finally telling me they just didn't know what the problem was and that they had helped as much as they could or were obligated to. They ruled out my theme or any malicious activity on the server and sent me on my way.
Hi CocoaBunny, I'm checking your site and all your ads seem to be in place. Try using another browser and see if the ads are always coming up.
You saw ads at a point in which I was still testing. Gorilla Nation sent me new tags but on my front page, the ads still don't display properly. When GN has no ads they fall back to Tribal Fusion and if Tribal Fusion has no ads they fall back to Google Adsense. Under this combination the ads display all the time, never any blank or empty spots. However, this combination is fishy because all you see mostly is Adsense, which would mean both GN and TF have no ads display and that is highly unlikely and not the case on the other pages, in which I have yet to see any Adsense ads, except the one skyscraper I have all the way at the bottom. I do not use Adsense as a back-up. I always default to another cpm company, except ever company's ads vanish, intermittently when placed on the front page. This includes Tribal Fusion, Value Click, AOL, BET and Gorilla Nation. Only Adsense will show 100% of the time. I can't explain it, but the new GN tags did enable ads to be displayed again on the front page, but not correctly. The front page and ROS pages should be mirror images of each other almost. Plus, I set up a test page here: brownsista dot com / test / index php and all the ads display perfectly. So something changed on my site between 8pm Sunday night when I last posted and about 10am when I came online Monday and saw the ads gone. It can't be every ad network. It is my blog. It has to be.
I hope there is still someone here willing to help me. I think I have made some sort of breakthrough and unfortunately a set back all at the same time A friend mentioned my “Interviews†page and not being able to see it. I decided to mess around with its settings and by setting the “Template†under “Page Attributes†to “Homepage†I was able to make it look and behave just like my front page- ads showing perfectly. I am using a magazine style theme that requires me to use a static page I created called “Home.†So I went to look at the “Home†page’s settings and realized it was set to “Default Template.†So I changed it to “Home Page†and well, it didn’t work out the same way as the “Interviews†page did. It continued to display my messed up home page- the one where you see all those Google Adsense ads. Even worse, my secondary pages that were showing the correct ads are now showing the google ads as well. I attempted to return all setting as they were but to no avail. Long story short, the page settings or something along that area is the culprit here. And though I cannot explain why it happens, it disturbs the display of the ads. My site should be displaying mostly Covergirl ads and other cpm ads, not the Adsense text ads. Somehow it is disturbing the display of all the cpm networks I use. At one point last night I was able to get brownsista dot com / interviews to display as my front page and with perfect showing ads, it has sense reverted back to the adsense ads. I went to my test blog brownsista dot com / blog and made the same chance to the "Home" settings there and the same thing happened, the ads that were displaying properly turned in Adsense ads. If anyone has any info that could help me I would appreciate it. Using the latest version of Wordpress. Btw, my site look PERFECTO on my cellphone. I have atttached a screenshot. Note the ads you see.
My hosting company says the problem is not them. I believe the problem lies with Tribal Fusion whose ads aren't displaying properly on the front page. I have been working with them for a few days and they say the problem is fixed and that within a few days the ads on the home page should start displaying properly. I don't believe that though. My leaderboard ad at the bottom is from another network completely and it won't show either. Oddly enough, when my main company (Gorilla Nation) serves me ads, the ad at the bottom works fine, even though they are in no way connected. This issue has really stumped me. I was told on Wordpress the issue might be white space above my !DOCTYPE but I have so far been unable to fix that issue as well.
This person (bret2012) is sending me spam emails. How do I stop it. I didn't join to have my personal email account assaulted with his garbage. I can't get over the fact that I can't post a live link until 10 posts, but someone can join and with 0 posts be able to send me correspondences via this site.
