XF 1.4 Another Adsense question

[Jerzy]

There are lots of posts about adding adsense to your forum......and I read them all. I thought I can figure it out. After 2 weeks of researching I got nothing. I tired everything. I even looked at other Xenforo forums (source) and used the same formulas. I used IE and Chrome. Can anyone please help me? Here is my site:

I greatly appreciate all your help and comments.

Thank you,

You haven't actually asked a question.
Are you asking how to add AdSense to your forum?

If so: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/responsive-adsense.2084/

 

[Martok]

Im not sure what there is to figure out? Its just adding the AdSense code for the adverts you want from your AdSense account into the ad templates in XenForo. Then you can make them responsive.

Still doesn't work. Anyways, thank you so much for the help.

You haven't explained what doesn't work. We can hardly help if you don't give any details.

 

[Jerzy]

The ads are no showing up on my forum. Can't figure it out.

 

[Martok]

How long have you had the code in place? It sometimes can take a little while for adverts to start displaying.

I suggest you go into a lot more detail than that - what ad templates you have edited, the code you have added, whether you have tried to add some responsive code too. Saying the ads aren't showing isn't a lot to go on.

 

[Jerzy]

Here we go........

This is what I have in ad_above_content

<xen:hook name="ad_above_content" />

<xen:if is="!in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('', 'message_page', 'error', 'search_form', 'search_form_post', 'search_form_profile_post', 'search_results', 'register_form', 'login', 'error_with_login', 'contact'))">

<div class=”section”></div>
<div class=”secondaryContent”></div>
<div style=”text-align: center; margin-top:8px;”></div>

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- above_top_breadcrumb res -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

<script>

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

I've only looked at the first one and I can't see anything obvious that's wrong, apart from this:

<div class=”section”></div>
<div class=”secondaryContent”></div>
<div style=”text-align: center; margin-top:8px;”></div>

You should be using plain double quotes, not rich text ones i.e. use " not ”.

In addition, you've not answered this:

How long have you had the code in place? It sometimes can take a little while for adverts to start displaying.

 

[Jerzy]

I have had these codes for a week...... As I said, I would never bother anyone unless I tried everything that was posted on this forum.

 

[Martok]

Well try the correction I mentioned in my previous post and then see how you get on.

 

[Jerzy]

I did. This is what I have now.....(still no ads)

<xen:hook name="ad_above_content" />
<xen:if is="!in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('', 'message_page', 'error', 'search_form', 'search_form_post', 'search_form_profile_post', 'search_results', 'register_form', 'login', 'error_with_login', 'contact'))">
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- above_top_breadcrumb res -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-1234567890"
data-ad-slot="123456"
data-ad-format="auto"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
</xen:if>

 

[Martok]

Yes and assuming that was the error that has caused the problems and prevented any adverts being shown, you'll now have to wait a little while until adverts are served.

BTW, I'm assuming that the google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxx" and google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxx" etc is you removing the correct code before pasting here in the forums and you haven't actually pasted that into your templates...

 

[Jerzy]

Yes, I place the correct codes (copy and paste from my adsense account, "xxxxx" was just masking my client id..... I don't even know why I tried to mask it. Everyone can see it in View --> Source ))

Martok, I want to thank you for you help. It didn't work but at least we tried. I guess I will have to live without Adsense

 

[Paul B]

Contact AdSense for support.

They should be able to tell you why ads aren't being served.

 

[Jerzy]

Ok, thank you
