By that I mean that I need help with modifying the menu code in a child theme, not setting up the child theme itself. I can probably manage that on my own.

That’s so nice, thank you!

I’d be willing to set up a child theme if you know how to solve it with one. Could you help me with that too?

Yeah, I really appreciate your answer, but unfortunately it’s not a good solution as it is. If you could find an ideal solution that would be amazing.

Can confirm, checked the source of a page where the ad works and compared it to the source of a page where it doesn’t. In both pages the same ad-related code appears as far as I can see. Also, putting my own image, text, HTML or javascript in the sidebar below the ad works even on pages where the ads don’t.

It appears Google was behind this behaviour after all. I still find the behaviour curious as ads appear to only show on shorter pages and not on longer ones, and it looks like ads appear just as likely on pages with little or no text as on pages with a lot of text. MAybe Google doesn’t find it worth it to put ads so far down on a webpage.

Thank you all for your help!

It’s kind of random which pages work and not, appearently. I just tried it on a Macbook with both Safari and Chrome and in both cases the links I added works, yes, but other pages don’t. Could you try other pages too, like this, this, this or this?
