    I created a “display ads” unit on Google Adsense and then added an Advanced Ads widget containing the information of this unit to the sidebar of my website to show ads. A blue rectangle showed up under the widget title “Google Adsense” in the sidebar. However, no ads were being displayed. Is there anything else I need to do to display ads? Thanks!

    Hi vyw928,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I also see the blue rectangle showing in your sidebar and found that the blue color is coming from your theme. All ins elements have this blue background color assigned.

    This is also a good sign since this confirms the AdSense ad code is in the correct place.

    I recommend removing the background color. Afterward, please confirm your AdSense account is up and running and also test other AdSense ad formats, for example a responsive ad unit directly in your content. You can create these ad units in AdSense and then import these into Advanced Ads to assign them on a content placement or use the sidebar widget like you already do.

    Best regards,
    Henning

    Hi vyw928,

    The background color can be removed by editing your themes CSS file. Please see this article about the different approaches on how to adjust CSS on your WordPress website.
    Your theme developer might also be able to help you.

    I also suggest experimenting with other ad formats and positions to see if AdSense shows a different behavior, for example in your articles.

    Best regards,
    Henning

    Hi vyw928,

    I just saw you where able to remove the blue rectangle from your sidebar.

    I still see AdSense ad code at the same place executing but not loading an actual ad. How are the test with other ad units and formats working out?

    Best regards,

     Hi henningaa, @henningaa

    Thank you for the response! I really appreciate your attention and assistance. I just contacted Google Adsense to learn why ads aren’t showing.
