For some reason, it wasn’t recognizing that the alt adsense.php was not supposed to be the primary one. I just uninstalled the theme, copied the alt folder elsewhere so I could delete it from the theme folder, and reinstalled. It worked perfectly!

And thanks for telling me about the page source trick, I never would have known how to double check.

As soon as I make a little money with my new site you can be expecting me to upgrade to one of your paid templates instead of a free one, as a thank you.

You have to edit the adsense.php file and change my AdSense publisher ID number that looks like this:

$GoogleADID = "pub-8325072546567078";

to yours. Doesn’t matter if you add the ca- part or not, both versions will work.

You can double check if you’ve done it correctly by viewing source of your home page (File >> View Source) if you see pub-8325072546567078 within the code (as you do on your site right now) you’ve done it wrong. When you see your pub-number you’ve done it right.

If you’ve installed using FTP edit the adsense.php file before uploading the theme files, it’s the file found at /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/adsense.php not the file within the /beautiful-sunrise-adsense-seo-03/alt-files/adsense.php folder (that’s an alternative AdSense setup with smaller ad sizes).

If you installed via the built in WordPress theme installer and edited the file online via the WordPress theme editor make sure you edit the adsense.php file that starts with


Beautiful Sunrise Google AdSense Code


Not


Beautiful Sunrise Google AdSense Code Alt


If you see the latter you’ve edited the wrong file, look for the adsense.php that lacks Alt.

When I get my ad code from Adsense, it shows me a “ca-pub” instead of a “pub” code. I did some research to find out what those even mean and if it matters, but I am brand new to this and couldn’t wade through all the jargon. I tried both, putting the “ca-pub” one day and then deleting the “ca” and just putting in the “pub” for the next day.

Neither try resulted in Adsense picking up on my pageviews. It is a new site so I probably don’t have any ad clicks for Adsense to register yet, but I know I have pageviews because of a plugin I installed. I don’t think Adsense is picking up on my pageviews, so that makes me think that the ads on my site and my adsense account are not properly linked.

I have submitted a question to Google’s adsense forums but no one is responding… I am hoping you can help me with this because I really do not have the money to hire someone to do this for me.

Thanks very much.
PS, the theme is very nice, but for this possible issue.

Many plugins require some template editing or specific theme features to work.

I’ve installed the WordPress 3 Theme Beautiful Sunrise with SEO and AdSense. It looks awesome and it works great except a minor problem:

Some Plugins do not work with this theme. I’ve installed the WordPress Related Posts, the WP Keyword Link and the Quick Adsense Plugins, non of them works with this theme.

Could you check how to fix it?

Thanks!

David

Is there any way I can fix this?

Thanks,

Nathan.

and the dang ads -- are the ads easy to put in? like if I want revenue ads and ebay for some sites instead of adsense and clickbank? I like those bundles of 125 by 125 ads than run down the side or middle of some sites?

will google allow me to put in bunches of those little ads? the IM industry has a lot of those little ads that blink and shout.

thanks again,
michele
