RSP Adsense Admin Adslot

I figured it out I think… 99 percent does not seem to work.

Could you explain? I have issues with this too.

I have not really found how to fix it, just that if I set the percentage to 99 percent, no ads seem to show.

hmm, I have mine at 50, and nothing shows either…

Hi,
Could you please link me your website after filling out all the details?
I will try to check what the problem is!

My website is: https://www.learnjazzstandards.com

If you scroll down to the footer, their is suppose to be an add. It is just black.

My settings:

RSP Adsense Pub Id – (my publisher ID for adsense – pub-xxxxxxxx)
RSP Adsense Admin Adslot (the Ad Id, that I created in adsense that matches the same specs- just string of numbers)
RSP Adsense AD Spot (disabled)
RSP Author Adshare Percent (75)
Lowest Level of User with Adsense Share (contributor)

Wait what? You disabled the adsense adspot?
You have to set it to either top, bottom or middle for it to work!

I am using a your widget instead. If you right click on the code, you can see it is trying to post an add, but instead of putting my specific ad code in the ad-spot, it places my publisher id.

If I am using a widget, I would set it to disabled right?

OK, it is supposed to work.
I just checked your website and saw that you have given the adslot id as the pub id, which is wrong. You have to create an ad in adsense and then get the adslot id from the code and put that in the place!

Obscurant, could you please have a look at my settings too?

Thanks!

I have already empties the “adslot” thing. But I am confused about what it MUST contain. What is the adslot? Is this an ad which is 100% for admin? If so, where do I ad the Publisher ID for the non-author views?

Edit: Link to where I have posted screenshots

That is what I am saying when you do a code inspect on the front end you see that it uses the pub id for both, but on the back end, I have my ad Id in the ad id field, and my pub id in the publisher id field.

That would imply you can only use one advert of a size? Because in the widgets, there is no place to enter the ad-ID. So my idea of having two 300x250s in the sidebar might not work.

Am I interpreting this right?

To clarify:
I have the top, and I want two banners in the right bar.

Ok, could you guys skype me?
My skype id: obscurant1st

Anyway ad id is: https://prntscr.com/7hx1w9
You have to put this under the RSP settings menu: https://prntscr.com/7hx35v
If you set the % to zero, only admin ads will be shown.

If you set the % to something like 50 and you don’t fill out the user profile(https://prntscr.com/7hx3xp) 50% of the time, the ads won’t show up.

I hope this clears it up.

If you think this is so complicated or not what you wanted, you can try out my other plugin:https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/adsense-for-authorsafa/

Thank you for your continued assistance (not just us, but in every single thread on RSP I can find).

I will definately Skype you when I am at home. Is the evening okay for you (I am in GMT+1)

Good idea to play with the percentages. At zero percent, it Always shows ads now, so the admin settings would appear to be correct now.

So it is something with my personal settings, which is great, as this means others aren’t “hurt” by my not-understanding.

In my own profile, I have added the adsense Publisher ID which I’ve used in the menu too. I have made a 300×250 and put the ID in my own profile (right field).

However… my own advertisements do not show up (% set at 95).

PS: Didn’t I read somewhere that if the user didn’t upload their ad info in their profile, it would be substituted by the admin slot? So theoretically, I wouldn’t need to put anything in there myself, as my own slots would be replaced by admin (also mine)?

Hey so for me, I noticed the problem in the widget code. You were setting the authorId to the post id. So when you ran the code to see if the author had the meta data, it always came back false.

Just need to replace

$authorId = $post->ID;

with

$authorId = get_the_author_meta(‘ID’);

Now it seems to be working for me.

I am only using the widget, and the fixes are on line 113 & 39
