Cannot insert in-feed ads in Genesis

Hi Scott,

thanks for reaching out.

If I’m not missing something, then the front page of your website is a static WordPress page filled with content from the themes “Genesis Blocks Post and Page Grid” block.

The AdSense in-feed placement was built to embed ads between posts lists like archive pages or a “your latest posts page”.

After changing the front page from showing a static page to list “your latest posts at Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays the AdSense in-feed placement should show ads between your posts as requested.

Alternatively, you can use the Advanced Ads block to embed ads on your homepage manually or using the content placement to target the headlines or paragraph parts on the page to anchor your ads.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Henning

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply.

Using dummy ads in Genesis Magazine Pro.

Since the AdSense in-feed plug-in only works if you assign an in-feed ad, please ensure using an actual AdSense ad here.

On my test page using Genesis Version: 3.3.5 and Magazine Pro Version: 3.7.0 the ad space with the assigned in-feed ad is empty, but it shows the surrounding div container between the posts on the home page. Please see this screenshot for reference.

I would await a similar output on your home page.

If you are using an in-feed ad already, please check if the behavior changes while only using the Genesis Theme and the Advanced Ads plugin. You can test this also on your live site using the Health Check plugin. This tool helps to troubleshoot plugin and theme combinations without the need for actual deactivations on live setups.

I am curious about your findings.

Best regards,
Henning
