Title: Update Failed Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Update Failed * [axlm01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axlm01/) * (@axlm01) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/) * I like it if I can get it to work. Verification went smoothly. I set the adsense locations up, click on “save and activate” and it says “update failed” * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-publisher/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-publisher/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/page/2/?output_format=md) * [dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/) * (@dradicke) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511268) * same for me. I use the standard twenty eleven wordpress theme… * [GManu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/) * (@gmanu) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511378) * Hi both, * Do you mind sharing your URLS? * Thread Starter [axlm01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axlm01/) * (@axlm01) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511383) * Hi, * Thanks for responding. * [http://ourengagementrings.com](http://ourengagementrings.com) * Michael * I am using a different plugin for the adsense you see now. * [dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/) * (@dradicke) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511385) * and my site is this: [http://www.sick-celebrities.com/](http://www.sick-celebrities.com/) I use another plugin for adsense called Quick AdSense which I had de-activated for testing the Google publisher Plugin. * On my site, verification checks out all right. Also the plugin detects that there are adsense tags on the site. I can display the design and preview pages. * Just when trying to “save & activates” it reports the error. * [GManu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/) * (@gmanu) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511390) * Did you remove your existing ads before trying to add new ones using the plug- in? * [dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/) * (@dradicke) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511391) * yes, of course. As you can see, there are no adsense ads on the site right now… like here [http://www.sick-celebrities.com/celebrities/lindsay-lohan-abused-drugs-to-combat-depression/](http://www.sick-celebrities.com/celebrities/lindsay-lohan-abused-drugs-to-combat-depression/) * [GManu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/) * (@gmanu) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511392) * [@dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/): On the example URL you shared there are ads. On the front page there aren’t. We’ll look into this issue. * [@axlm01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axlm01/): We’ll look into it * [dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/) * (@dradicke) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511393) * [@gmanu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/): thanks. Probably you see ads because of caching effects… The old plugin for adsense is definately de-activated. Maybe the Google plugin also has issues with wp-super-cache? * Thread Starter [axlm01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axlm01/) * (@axlm01) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511394) * Thank you. I was also using quick adsense but I disabled the plugin before I even loaded this plugin. * [GManu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/) * (@gmanu) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511395) * @dradcike: yes, caching plugins cause problems for the plugin. Could you try the plugin without super-cache active and see if it helps. Otherwise, you can drop us an e-mail using the feedback button in the top right corner about which WordPress plugins are installed, what is his admin URL and whether there are any messages on the developer console. * [hasgerdas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hasgerdas/) * (@hasgerdas) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511411) * Same here – no caching or other stuff working around 🙁 ([http://sahafe.com](http://sahafe.com)) * [dradicke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dradicke/) * (@dradicke) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511412) * [@gmanu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmanu/). De-activated Super-cache but no luck with the AdSense-Setup. * So that´s enough testing for me at the moment – I´ll give it another try in a few months 🙂 * [solanky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solanky/) * (@solanky) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511419) * I am also getting the same error. No ads on my website ([http://www.appdunia.com/](http://www.appdunia.com/)) as of now. * [solanky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solanky/) * (@solanky) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511420) * I realized that error was due to W3-Total-Cache. Now it has been resolved. * [EmmaRebekah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emmarebekah/) * (@emmarebekah) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/#post-4511446) * I’m also getting an “update failed” after clicking “save and activate.” I’m not running any caching plugin. * socrazyitcouldwork.com Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Update Failed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/google-publisher_788272.svg) * [Google AdSense](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-publisher/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-publisher/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-publisher/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-publisher/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-publisher/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-publisher/reviews/) * 17 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [capefox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capefoxx/) * Last activity: [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-failed-4/page/2/#post-4511463) * Status: not resolved
