• I just installed the latest version of WPTouch and when viewing the mobile version of some of my sites I noticed that some of the pages are displaying two or three adsense ads. Occasionally this seems to be because I have an ad in the desktop version of the site and it comes through to the mobile version … but aren’t we only supposed to have one ad showing on a mobile page according to Google Adsense rules?

    Thanks!

  • Yes, AdSense terms are 1 ad unit per page on mobile devices and WPtouch only has one ad area (below the header). Perhaps you are running a caching plugin that is serving cached desktop pages to mobile devices?

    Yes I do use a caching plugin. I guess it is my ads from my desktop page that are showing .. but I suppose there is no way to prevent this?

    Hmmm … this means that if my desktop ads show and if I have one in a post and one below (even if I don’t add code to wptouch) I’ll still be in violation! This isn’t good!

    Any ideas?

    You can configure your caching plugin not to cache or serve mobile pages. To do this, enter the mobile user agents listed under Advanced Options > Custom User-Agents and any additional ones you like into the “rejected user agents” areas in your caching plugin’s admin area. Remember to clear your plugin, browser, and mobile device caches before testing.

    I must not be doing it right. I entered the whole list of Custom User-Agents that are to the left of the Advanced Options > User – Agents area in the “custom user-agents” line so that pages would never be served as cached and that didn’t work …

    So .. I went to my caching plugin which is W3 Total Cache and in the Page Cache section I entered the whole list of user-agents in the rejected-user agents area and I can still see three ads when I view certain pages on my blogs using my iPod Touch. My cell is a Nokia and I can’t see any ads at all using the Nokia but I never could …

    I can also list rejected user-agents in the minify and database section. Actually I just tried that and it didn’t work either … Am I doing it wrong??? Yes i did clear my plugin, browser and mobile device caches.

    Thanks for the help!

    BTW I use a plugin to serve my adsense ads .. maybe that’s causing the problem .. I use quick Adsense to serve my ads on most of my blogs – perhaps that’s why WpTouch or Adsense is having trouble seeing that there’s more than one ad per page?

    Yes, you want to enter the user agents in all of W3 Total Cache’s rejected user agents fields. If you’ve cleared the caches, try temporarily disabling the caching plugin and perhaps the ad-serving plugins from your WordPress Plugins admin area to see if the ads appear as you’d like. Reactivate one at a time to isolate the source of the issue.
