Adsense Not showing up in Stallion Child theme
Hello,
I have turned on the AD OPTIONS, and entered my pub-ID for Google adsense. I have pasted the Google Adsense code in the boxes where they belong. I even waited over 48 hours ad my ads still do not show up.
I created a child theme and even switched to the primary theme and it still does not show. I have read the help tutorials here is there any other options that I am overlooking. Thank you.
Adsense Not showing up in Stallion Child theme
AdSense Troubleshooting
Assuming you are running either Stallion Responsive or Stallion WordPress SEO.
Most times AdSense doesn’t work it’s because the user has inadvertently copy pasted additional characters (tabs or spaces) which breaks the code.
Check before and after for spaces, should only be:
Assuming you’ve ticked “AdSense ON”.
Next thing is check the domain isn’t banned, search Google for AdSense Banned and use the sites chat check if your domain is banned.
Still not working, what’s the URL?
BTW when it works it’s instant, so no need to wait unless your AdSense account is new and not approved yet. Apparently if you haven’t verified your AdSense account the ads won’t work.

AdSense Malware Error?
Hi David,
I’ve been using your theme since it’s Talian days. I’ve used various malware searches of my firefox browser to discount it first.
My Stallion adsense ads seem to be showing ‘fix your pc’ and ‘upgrade’ type ads and I think my theme may be compromised as these ads are not relevant to my site. I always update wordpress itself. I’ve also used the anti malware plugin by gotmls to scan my website but it didn’t find any problems.
I’m guessing that with the release of Stallion Responsive old Stallion is not really supported any more. I’m thinking it’s time to happily pay for an upgrade to your theme as I’ve had so many free updates over the years but first do you see the problem I’m describing? I don’t want to load your new theme into a compromised wordpress and not sure what to do next.
AdSense Malware Error?
How to Remove Malware Ads
Had a look at the home page code and the code of a WordPress post and don’t see anything obvious untoward.
I see the correct AdSense ads when viewing your site, I saw some ads about roofing and others about SEO (been researching SEO, so would expect them). If you are seeing something other than AdSense ads where the AdSense ads are suggests the device you are connecting to the website with is compromised. Your PC might have been hacked or you’ve installed some ad malware that replaces AdSense ads with their ads when YOU visit websites running AdSense (so not your site hacked, your PC).
This site has AdSense ads running, do you see the same sort of ads where the AdSense ads should be? If so confirms it’s your PC.
If you don’t already run antivirus software I use Avast which is pretty good http://www.avast.com/
For checking for malware try SpyBot Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/
Also see Malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.org/
That being said and after rereading your comment, what you see might be normal. Google AdSense doesn’t always show ads related to what the content is about, but what the visitor has been searching for before visiting a site running AdSense.
You’ve been searching for how to find and remove malware from the sounds of things and how to fix your PC would be the sort of ads AdSense might show YOU. Google AdSense is going to show you ads related to malware products because that’s what you’ve been looking for :-)
Regarding buying Stallion Responsive 8.1, don’t take too long price goes up on 1st September. Though I’m supporting Stallion WordPress SEO v7.1.1 users I have no plans to update it further, with how Google is taking user experience into account Stallion v7.1.1 is lacking now: funny though that it probably still is the second best WordPress SEO theme available.

Relevant Google AdSense Ads
Hi David,
I wasn’t aware that adsense sometimes shows ads based on my searches, I thought it just showed ads related to a sites content.
I’ve purchased, downloaded and installed Stallion Responsive but it doesn’t seem to recognize my transaction ID. Do you have to manually add it to a list to be recognized?
I clicked on the email reminder link but received no email after 10 minutes. My paypal email is the same as the one used to post this comment.

DED : You've Reached your Daily Relay Quota
Yep, Google changed a while ago to show users what they are searching for as ads. Can get quite irritating when doing research, shows me ads I have no interest in: not that I ever click AdSense ads on any site.
Dropped you an email with your Stallion Responsive ID. Having a Godaddy email server issue, didn’t realize Godaddy has a maximum email relay limit and the new Stallion Responsive mailing list: https://stallion-theme.co.uk:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/listinfo.cgi/stallion
Used up the entire relay quota in one mailing today! Not sure if everyone on the list got the message, there;s significantly more people on the list than Godaddy has it’s relay limit.
This means new email that are sent via the server are in the queue with an error:
DED : You’ve reached your daily relay quota
I’ve contacted Godaddy support: sheesh Godaddy Chat support is SLOW, took an hour in the queue despite for about half an hour it reported the estimated wait would be 3 minutes!!!
Looks like it will take a few days for them to increase the relay limit (not impressed), so have some emails stuck in the queue including several Stallion Responsive order emails with the users Stallion IDs!
Will have to wait until tomorrow to be able to send them correctly, in the meantime I’m going to have to manually reroute the important ones. guess I can’t use the mailing list (only used it for two emails so far) until Godaddy increases the relay limit.

Google For Search Widget
After the update to v8.2 for both Stallion Responsive and child themes, I don’t have the [9GAT Google AdSense Search widget] you speak of above.
I have created an AdSense Search Ad and entered the random characters on the Adsense options page (as you described above) but I can’t add the widget on my sidebar. The only widget I have relating to Adsense is ‘Stallion AdSense Content S1 Widget’; of which I have one on my sidebar (www.Cannabis-Seeds-Canada.ca).
Why is the 9GAT widget not in my widgets?
Thanks Dave
Google For Search Widget
Google AdSense Custom Search Widget
The Stallion Responsive 8.2 version of the Google AdSense Custom Search Widget is called “Stallion AdSense Google Search Widget”.
For performance reasons some of the Stallion widgets and default WordPress widgets are disabled. Basically if you don’t use a widget it’s a good idea to disable it, that way it can’t waste resources,
Go to “Stallion Theme” >> “Performance Options” and near the bottom under “Unregister Widgets” all the core and Stallion widgets are listed.
Untick any you want to use, tick any you don’t use.
It’s an interesting quirk of WordPress that some widgets when NOT used result in database queries, WordPress looks for options related to the widgets despite the fact they aren’t being used. I’ve added some default options for all the Stallion and core WordPress widgets (so they won’t waste database queries) when not in use, but I don’t know if they waste other resources (was by luck I noticed the database query issue). To be on the safe side if you aren’t using a widget, tick it to disable it, can’t waste resources if it’s unregistered.
So Bud Sailor and Susanne are the same person, a lot easier to determine an issue with a URL to look at.
Noticed you have a comment on your home page: “Why Web Speed Matters?” You realise that’s comment SPAM?
Search Google for bits of the comment like:
3) It cannot detect the technology, For instance WordPress,Drupal, Magento, Joomla, Nuke.
It’s on lots of sites as a comment, clearly spam.
You should delete comment SPAM.

Adsense Ads Not Displaying
Hopefully last question – can you figure out why my ads are not displaying? I created 3 new responsive ad units and pasted the code respectively into the appropriate box on the Adsense Options page as follows:
The only thing that changed between the 3 was the title and the data-ad-slot number. Then I selected “Add JS Script to Footer ON”. Is this correct – if not why please?
Thanks Dave
Adsense Ads Not Displaying
AdSense Responsive Theme Code
Code doesn’t come through in WordPress unless you add code tags, so didn’t see your code, have pasted what it should look like to replace the messed up code.
If your code looks like that, should work. Must be exactly like the AdSense code above other than your AdSense pub number and the ad slot which are unique to each ad unit in your account.
If you followed the exact instructions here: https://stallion-theme.co.uk/google-adsense-responsive-ad-unit-beta-stallion-responsive-wordpress-theme-integration/ it works.
It’s important exact instructions are followed when you use the AdSense responsive code.

As usual Dave you are a God send. Thanks for your timely answers. The problem has been fixed and the Adsense ads now appear on my site are are actually visible to me as well; not only when I am logged in.
I love Stallion Responsive even if I am a bit slower than most with getting the setting just right. But, like you have said on numerous occasions, once it is set it is great.
Thanks Dave
