Title: header ads inactive Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # header ads inactive * [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/) * Hi all, my site is [http://www.80s.it](http://www.80s.it) and i’m using wp 4.5 * Everything works fine after the update to the new Hueman but…the header widget is inactive. I try to put in it the search and the text widget (with the google adsense code) but it doesn’t work. * The “display a widget in your header” voice in the Header>header advertisement widget is selected. What’s wrong? * Thanks in advance, Daniele Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * (@denzel_chia) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279482) * Hi, * Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Header -> Header Advertisement Widget And check the setting to enable. * Go to Appearance -> Customize -> Dynamic Sidebars and Widgets -> Header ads to deploy your widget * If you are using a child theme with modified header.php, you will need to copy over the new header.php and redo your modifications. * Thank you. * Thread Starter [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279495) * Hi Denzel, thank you for your attention but.. I already set it up the appearence’s header section as you pointed and deleted the header.php in my child theme but not only that ad-matter remains: now I can’t set the header image too. * [msfndotorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msfndotorg/) * (@msfndotorg) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279504) * Try this I posted: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-header-ads-doent-work?replies=13](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-header-ads-doent-work?replies=13) * Thread Starter [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279510) * Hi guys, thanks again. * I don’t know what it happened but without changing anything, now the ad section works. I just “play” inserting and deleting images on the header section and, I don’t know why, now the ads section is active. * But I still can’t see google’s ad displayed. * I will try putting that code in my style.css’ child theme (is it the same, msfndotorg?) and let you know the outcome. * Thank you again. * Thread Starter [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279515) * update, unfortunately negative. * this is my custom.css file * ``` /* @fromfull Add your custom styles in this file instead of style.css so it is easier to update the theme.

There isn’t anything in the header ads container: * ```

Problem was AdBlocker plugin in browser. * Issue fixed: in themes header.php file changed ONLY DIV element ID from header- ads to header-widget, because AdBlock reads ID’s and disables it. * Also changed #header-ads to #header-widget in style files(used Notepad++ to find): \ assets\front\css\main-not-responsive.css \assets\front\css\main-not-responsive. min.css \assets\front\css\main.css \assets\front\css\main.min.css * Also I did the same with footer-ads. * Theme creators should avoid words like ‘AD’. * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279554) * If AdBlocker is the issue then you could look at some options in [this google search.](https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=wordpress+plugin+disable+ad+blocker) * Thread Starter [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279568) * I made it right now brbrown. Consider there are now three identical g-ads text widgets on the homepage (ads, primary sidebar & footer) but only last two work. * thank you again * [msfndotorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msfndotorg/) * (@msfndotorg) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279570) * Something is definitely wrong with header style coding. Ads are not resizing and don’t work as intended. * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279592) * Just a guess but it looks like the javascript in the header ads text widget isn’t running. Off the top of my head I don’t know why that would be. Can you post the adsense code that you’re putting into the text widgets? I’d like to try in on a test site. * Thread Starter [carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) * (@carioti) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279598) * ``` ``` * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-ads-inactive/#post-7279639) * I was able to run the ads script in a footer widget but it doesn’t work in the header ads widget, as you’ve indicated. I also pasted the script directly into header.php and it runs there. So it’s something about the header ads widget. I’ll enter a ticket for the developer and see if he can determine the issue.
