 * Hello,
    I have had continued issues with advanced ads. I’ve always seen the message“-
   You need to fix some ads.txt file issues” with googleadsense and no one ever 
   responded from their support to help, I never received any profits, then they
   removed ads from my site. Just recently advanced ads started malfunctioning on
   my site so I deactivated it, deleted it, then rebooted it. Now I’m seeing: Advanced
   Ads detected potential problems with your ad setup. Show me these errors Then
   I go to: One of your sites is missing the AdSense publisher ID in the ads.txt
   file Create one now I see that an ads.txt will automatically be added but also:
   A third-party file exists: [https://gardentogriddle.com/ads.txt](https://gardentogriddle.com/ads.txt)
   Import & Replace
 * I do import to replace and save but nothing changes. I need assistance with where
   to go from here. Is there something that I need to be removing that’s conflicting
   with the automatic ads.txt file?
 * Thank you for any help! My site has been running for a year without success with
   advanced ads and googleadsense! I’d love to change that!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcontinued-problems-with-ad-setup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi eawehof,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * I checked back your ads.txt file and its looking great. The message [can still come up](https://wpadvancedads.com/adsense-errors/#Missing_adstxt_file)
   if you have more than one page connected to AdSense or if Google have had not
   checked back your page yet.
 * Please also see your AdSense account if all is fine or if there are further recommendations.
   The linked manual above does also explain other possible error messages which
   may occur.
 * The AdSense verification code on your site seems to be implemented by Googles
   Site Kit plugin and your ad codes, like in the sidebar, are not implemented by
   Advanced Ads.
 * If you want to give Advanced Ads the chance to manage the integration and sort
   the correct ad codes to the right places on your website, I recommend removing
   manually placed ad codes and the AdSense connection from Site Kit following this
   [manual to implement the AdSense ads using Advanced Ads](https://wpadvancedads.com/place-adsense-ad-unit-manually/).
 * Please keep me posted if you need anything else.
 * Best regards,
    Henning

 * Hi [@eawehof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eawehof/)
 * I noticed you are now using your own ads.txt file. Are the ads now appearing 
   as requested?
 * Best regards,
    Henning
