supportHi There, I have been trying to use this plugin to add my Ads.txt from media.net. Even though I have added all the ads.txt in the correct format it seems that media.net cannot register it. Unfortunately this means i’m losing income.. Can I please have some support on this? Thank you.
@chrismenning1990 can you share your domain so we can review the ads.txt file to see if there’s a formatting error or something in the file?
@chrismenning1990 Can you post your domain here so we can check your ads.txt file?
hey guys, Thank you for you response. It looks like app-ads.txt is reading the text but ads.txt is not. https://gastronomerlifestyle.com/ads.txt https://gastronomerlifestyle.com/app-ads.txt On media vine it can only read ads.txt. thank you
sorry media.net not media vine.
@chrismenning1990 are you able to check the ads.txt revisions to see if you need to roll back to a prior version to ensure the ads.txt changes are appearing? It could also be a conflict with a security-related plugin as we’ve seen where the ads.txt file gets blocked by security plugins. And it could also be an issue with a caching plugin caching an older version of the ads.txt file. Can you check for other installed plugins and see if you have a security or caching plugin installed?
Hi @jeffpaul sure how do i check the revisions? Yes the plugins for security and caching I use are: – auto-optimise – Breeze – Sucuri Security Do you suggest to deactivate each one in turn and see if that has an effect?
@jeffpaul I have checked previous revisions and it seems only the google text is showing up when I check.
@jeffpaul I have also deactivated the listed plugins to see if that worked but no change. Help!
@chrismenning1990 Do you have an ads.txt file already on your server? And are you able to take a screenshot of the revisions you see for ads.txt in your WordPress dashboard?
hi @helen thank you for reaching out. Please see the url of the screenshot attached. Yes as far as I am aware the server does have an ads.txt file.

@chrismenning1990 your screenshot shows 16 revisions to the ads.txt file and it appears the latest version includes 9 records though the publicly available ads.txt file only shows the google.com record. Are you able to check the root directory of your webserver to see if an ads.txt file already exists there? Also can you confirm that rewrites are enabled, that your site URL does not contain a path, and whether you’re set up as a single instance or a WordPress multisite?
@jeffpaul unfortunately I don’t have access to the root directory. how do I check if rewrites are available? I think the wordpress is set up as a single instance. Unfortunate these questions I cannot answer without paying for the service of the people who built the website. is there anyway around this that you can help with?
@chrismenning1990 you can see your site URL settings at https://gastronomerlifestyle.com/wp-admin/options-general.php . Sharing that plus the export from https://gastronomerlifestyle.com/wp-admin/site-health.php?tab=debug (click Copy site info to clipboard ) will help us attempt to triage this further.

@jeffpaul just wanted to check in on progress for this? thanks
@chrismenning1990 can you check the Sucuri settings to see if it’s blocking TXT files? We’ve seen similar security plugins deny access to all txt files and changing that setting allowed Ads.txt Manager to function as expected.
