Phantom ad unit appearing at bottom of mobile site

    Wondering if anyone can help diagnose this.

    I run a Wordpress site which has a desktop and a mobile theme, and there seems to be a phantom adsense unit appearing on the mobile theme. The ad unit in question is fixed to the bottom of the site, but this is not something that we have done ourselves.

    The mobile site should have a max of 3 x medium/large rectangles, and we haven't created anything or added any code that should cause a fixed unit to display permanently at the bottom.

    You can see the unit in question if you visit the site, OneDirection.net on a mobile device.

    So my question is how the hell is this appearing? We have checked the code for any rogue javascript and can't find any, so we're at a loss to understand what's going on.

    1000 dogecoins to anyone who can solve this ;)

    Since I can't access your site I can only speculate. There is a possibility that it's one of your plugins. Try disabling them, clear your cache if your site uses caching and reload on mobile to see if it is gone.

    If that doesn't work, there is probably something hidden in the code that renders your responsive theme into mobile.

    Hopefully you get it fixed. I've had to deal with hacks/malware in the past, and it's no fun.
