Error with wordpress blog

    I'm trying to setup the Co-Op network with a wordpress blog. I setup everything according to the instructions but I'm getting the following error when I'm logged in to the co-op network:

    Account not not yet activated. | Keep this tool alive! Fundraiser for new hardware has started over here (you do get stuff in return).

    Site failed automatic validation as of 2008-01-08 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, make a request in the forum for assistance). Validate/Calculate Weight Now


    What am I doing wrong?

    I'm getting the exact same error/situation. I do not show ads on the default homepage while I do on all category pages. Site is Antique News site listed in my sig.

    What to do?

    can you give me some more details on what you have done so far

    you should basically upload the two ad_network files

    chmod the .txt file to be writeable by giving it chmod 666

    and then put the code into either your footer file or similar so that the ads show on every page

    that should be all you need to do

    I have placed the code in my Wordpress theme category page. Yes, I have placed both ad_network... files online which show ads for all of my category pages. This would mean the txt file is chmod 666 correctly.

    So why would the site not validate?

    you have to show ads on every page to validate.

    if you leave out your homepage it will not validate
