I am having an issue showing adsense on my front page, and I can replicate it under certain conditions. The ads aren't showing properly on the front page of my site only - the sidebar 300x250 ad doesn't show at all (only white space shows), and the top header is a PSA ad. The ads are working fine on other pages within the site. I think I have narrowed the cause of this problem. I think it has something to do with either the .htaccess or the index.php, and possibly the permalinks. For example, when permalinks are set as numbers, I get this error on some other pages of the site. Also, right now I have my wordpress installed in the root directory of my site, but earlier when I had it i installed in domain.com/wordpress/ it worked fine, until I set Blog Adress to domain.com, at which point the problem appears. Just for the record, I am using the latest version of Wordpress, and every other part of the theme/wordpress seems to work. I'm hoping someone out there knows anything about this issue. Thanks. PS. I'm excluding my site url, but if anyone wants to take a look, and if allowed by forum rules, I can post it in the thread.
The only thing I can think of is that Google has not indexed your new home page so it does not know what kind of ads to display. Thus you wind up with a PSA and a blank. Before when you had WP in its own directory, did you access the index page with a different url?
A somewhat typical wordpress install places all of the wordpress files into a /wordpress/ directory within your public html folder. You then place an index.php file in the root with the following code: `<?php /** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * * @package WordPress */ /** * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it. * * @var bool */ define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?> ` If I don't include that index.php, thus leaving the domain.com/wordpress/ directory as my blog url, everything works. If I change it to domain.com/, it doesn't.
