Hello everyone, welcome to K2 blogging and in this video I will show you how you can
0:03
fix your ad.txt file issue in your WordPress website. So ad.txt file is the authorized digital seller file that helps ensure that the ads that are
0:14
showing in your website are actually serving from the authorized seller like AdSense
0:20
So you can easily fix this ad.txt error in your AdSense dashboard
0:26
So all you need to do is just click on fix now button
0:30
Now it will ask you to download the ad.txt file. So click on download and it will download the file to your computer
0:38
Now you have to go to your dashboard and you can implement the ad.txt in WordPress in two ways
0:44
You can either use it through a plugin or you can directly upload the ad.txt file in
0:49
your hosting server. So let's check how we can do it in plugin method
0:54
So here click on add new and here search for ads.txt. Now you can click on any of the plugin
1:05
So I will install the first plugin here. Now click on activate
1:11
So it is a very lightweight plugin and here you can add the ad.txt file
1:16
So for this go to the settings and here click on ad.txt
1:22
Now you have to paste the ad.txt file code. So let me just open this file from here and here just copy the all code and here paste
1:32
it and now click on save changes and the ad.txt file will be added to your WordPress website
1:40
And if you don't want to add a plugin for that, then you can go to the hosting dashboard
1:45
and here click on manage. And if you are using cPanel, then you have to go to the file manager
1:52
So let me just click on the file manager here. And here you will see the list of all websites that are hosted in your hosting
2:04
So here you have to click on the public underscore HTML of that domain name
2:11
Now you are in the public underscore HTML folder. Here you will see a file like robot.txt or license.txt
2:20
So here you have to create a new file. So click on new file and name it like ads.txt
2:29
Make sure to keep all letters in small case. Now click on create
2:37
Now the file will be added to your public underscore HTML. So click on the file again and here you have to paste that code
2:47
So let me just copy this code and paste it here and click on save
2:56
Now the code is saved. Let me just go to the dashboard and here let me just remove this plugin
3:04
Okay, now the ad.txt is activated in your WordPress website. Let me just go to the site first
3:13
And here in the URL section type slash ads.txt. Now click on enter
3:23
And if you see this code, then the ad.txt is properly implemented in your website
3:30
Now go to the AdSense dashboard and now it may take some time to remove this notice
3:36
Here as you can see in this official documentation, it says that it may take a few days to reflect
3:43
the changes in the AdSense dashboard. So if you are seeing this file in your ad.txt URL, then the ad.txt is properly implemented
3:53
in your website. I hope you have fixed the ad.txt problem in your WordPress website
